Job Sixteen: The Dragon's Memories Part Two

"Woo hoo! This is awesome! Flying through the air rocks!"

"Speak for yourself! Awesome? This is downright terrifying!"

It took a few seconds for Natsu and the rest to register where they were. Lucy looked down and screamed. "What are we on!?"

Gray quickly recognized what they were standing on. "It looks like we're on that giant flying manta ray we saw before."

Lucy suddenly realized something since they're were on a giant traveling manta ray. "Wait, does this mean Natsu's going to have motion sickness through a memory?"

They both turned to the fire dragon slayer and found out he was actually doing fine. "I don't feel like I'm going to hurl so I'm doing pretty okay."

They heard Wendy giggle and turned to her. "Aw, come on Mine. It's not so bad."

"What do you mean not so bad?! By the way, why aren't you heaving already?! I thought you said dragon slayers get motion sickness whenever they ride on transportation."

"But he's not transportation. He's our friend. Aren't you?" They heard the danger beast respond to her. "See? He likes us."

"What, so you can talk to it now?"

Lucy couldn't help but find it a little funny. "Wendy has a point. If she considers this a friend, it would make sense why she and Natsu aren't feeling sick."

Natsu cheered as he threw his arms up. "I'll say! This thing is awesome!"

After seeing a brief scene of Leone having a moment with Wendy, the Air Manta landed on a spot and everyone on it jumped down from it. "Everyone, welcome to the Marg Highlands. It is a place filled with danger beasts, making it inhospitable for humans. That's why it's the perfect place to set up our new base. We'll be staying here until the recon team from the Revolutionary Army can find us a new location near the Capital. So while we're here, we can use this opportunity to train ourselves."

Everyone saw the Air Manta take off and fly away. "Hey, it's getting away! Shouldn't we try to catch it?"

"No, it's just going back to its nest where HQ is. Wow Mine, I didn't know you were this dense."

Lucy and the other Fairy Tail wizards turned to the familiar voice and finally saw Chelsea with the rest of the group. "Hey, that's Chelsea!"

Erza crossed her arms while narrowing her eyes at the other girl. "So this is where they first met her." Lisanna couldn't help but feel a little happy seeing Chelsea's first appearance to the group.

"Ah yes. Allow me to introduce you all to the members that'll be joining us."

They saw Chelsea smile at the group. "Hey there. My name is Chelsea. It's nice to meet you all." The wizard group saw Chelsea's attention turn to Wendy and walked to her. "Especially you."

"Um…you too I guess?"

Chelsea stopped in front of the young dragon slayer and leaned a little too close for Erza's taste. "So you're the girl everyone back at HQ is talking about. The one who can do certain things without using an Imperial Arms. Is it true you're from another world?"

"Y-Yeah. I'm from a world called Earthland. Wait, the army is talking about me?"

"Yes that's right." Everyone looked over at Najenda. "HQ was abuzz wondering about you when I sent your profile to them. In fact, I wanted to take you with me when I was leaving to deliver some of the Imperial Arms recovered from the Three Beasts so they could see for themselves but you were absent at the time."

Lucy was impressed by what she heard. "I guess this Revolutionary Army really wanted to meet Wendy huh?"

Chelsea laughed a little with what the blonde said. "You have no idea. It's not every day you get to hear that a girl can do what she can do without an Imperial Arms. She made a big impression, that's for sure."

"Now that's explained, I would like all of you to turn to the Lightning Fast Susanoo. He is my Imperial Arms."

Erza took a closer look at the human Imperial Arms. "He's the one who can regenerate. I've never seen something like him before. He's definitely strong for what he did."

Everyone saw Wendy walk up to him. "Um…hi. Thank you for helping us out earlier."

In the next moment, Susanoo quickly swiped both of his hands along with Wendy's hair. "Fixed."

None of them knew what exactly happened. "Oh yes, one more thing about him. He's a neat freak."

Somehow Lucy wasn't surprised. "Of course, he's a weirdo."

"There is more to him than meets the eye. Try to contain your excitement. Susanoo! Please Proceed!"

"Roger."

What happened next was everyone seeing Susanoo doing all kinds of odd jobs at once. From building a house from the trees around, to cooking, to laundry. It rather impressed Mirajane a lot. "Oh my. He would've been handy in rebuilding the guild."

Erza couldn't help chuckle a little. "He's quite the interesting character."

As if Najenda had heard her… "Isn't he? He was designed to be the perfect bodyguard for high-profile clients. Not only that but in addition to his fighting power, he can cook over 1,000 dishes!"

And Erza gasped out of surprise. "He can cook over a thousand dishes?!" She was imagining all the different kinds of cakes Susanoo could create.

Natsu and Happy shared her reaction and were drooling at the words. "Oh man, that's a lot of food!"

"I wonder what he can make with fish?"

The scene changed before them to reveal everyone finishing a meal which just happened to be a giant fish inside the house Susanoo built. Leone gave a happy sigh from the meal she ate. "Su's food sure is good. The fatigue from training just flies away."

Wendy had to agree with the older girl. "Yeah, you're a really good cook Mr. Su."

Natsu heard his stomach growl. "Man…now I want to try eating what he can make."

Akame was also satisfied by the meal while picking up the empty plates. "Thanks Su."

Tatsumi ran up to the human Imperial Arms while waving a wooden sword in front of him. "Su. Let's do some training tomorrow."

Najenda was rather pleased hearing all the praise her Imperial Arms was receiving. "Do you all understand. Like I said. Susanoo is amazing."

Tatsumi was impressed by his leader's Imperial Arms. "I'm surprised the Revolutionary Army lent you such an amazing Imperial Arms."

The former general shook her head. "No. Until now, Susanoo was sleeping but he started to moving in response to me."

Akame was further amazed by her leader. "Nice boss."

Wendy was rather curious how it happened. "So how did you do it?"

Najenda was rather proud herself when that moment happened. "Well, it must've been…my charisma."

There was silence present among them until Susanoo explained. "Najenda looks exactly like my old master."

While not as impressive, Leone thought it was intriguing enough. "I see."

Najenda quite liked hearing that. "I'm sure she was a wonderful person."

Tatsumi thought up of a suggestion. "Why not tell us yourself?"

Susanoo didn't see a problem with that. "Yeah…he was a wonderful general."

And Najenda's view completely shattered. "He?!"

She heard Tatsumi and Leone trying to contain their laugher but Leone broke first and laughed out loud. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! She looks exactly like a man he says! As expected of our boss who's often called a hunk!"

Tatsumi was laughing too and couldn't help it. "S-Sis, you laugh that much ha ha ha ha!"

Both of them suddenly went silent when they saw the murderous look on their leader's face. She pummeled the two with large lumps on their heads and were lecturing them. While doing so, she'd heard something else and turned to Wendy. The young dragon slayer was looking away while her hands covered her mouth. "Is there something funny to you Wendy?"

A chill went down her spine and immediately turned around to face her leader while removing her hands and waved them in front of her. "N-No sir! I mean ma'am! I mean-"

Lucy couldn't blame them for laughing that like. "I do admit she does rather look close to a man."

Leone groaned while rewatching the scene again. "It was pretty damn funny but damn did that hurt. She couldn't lighten up and take a joke?"

The scene continued and focused on Mine who was sitting on a couch and Lubbock sitting on a chair who didn't seem all that thrilled. "Tch, everyone's completely gotten so attached to Su…he's stolen my position from me."

Mine inserted a fork into her piece of cake which Erza seemed really interested in. "You've always held your current gag position." The door suddenly opened and a small cat walked into the room. Mine was amazed of what it was. "oh, it's a Marg Panther Kitten. These guys aren't scared of people, huh?" The kitten jumped onto the couch and rubbed itself against the pinkette while purring. "What is it? I'll tell you up front, I'm not going to give you a piece of my cake." The kitten gave Mine an adorable look and it was enough for her to give in. "It…It can't be helped." The kitten suddenly had a killer look in its eye and jumped to grab the plate with Mine's cake on it.

It landed on the floor and smoke suddenly blew out to reveal Chelsea who giggled and turned to face Mine. "It's all mine meow."

Lucy was surprised in what she saw. "Wait, that cat was Chelsea?"

Chelsea giggled at the scene before her. "I remember that. It was pretty fun."

Mine pointed her finger at the past Chelsea and wasn't happy with what the other girl had done. "Chelsea!"

Chelsea continued to giggle and started to eat Mine's cake. "Mine, you have far too many openings."

Lubbock was amazed with what he saw. "So you can even transform into a small cat?"

Chelsea finished the cake and tossed the plate. "Yeah. I can transform into whatever I want." She brought out her Imperial Arms. "Isn't it useful? My Imperial Arms, Phantasmagoria: Gaea Foundation."

Lucy instantly recognized the makeup kit she was carrying. "Hey, I saw that thing before. Back at the Lamia Scale Thanksgiving Parade."

Gray turned to the real Chelsea. "So that's what your Imperial thing does?"

Chelsea grinned at the ice wizard. "That's right. From plants, to animals, even people and that's just the half of it. The other half is that I can completely and successfully imitate the person I'm pretending to be just as long I know what their speech pattern and behavior. It's helpful during stealth missions. In fact, I racked up as many kills as Akame and that's saying something."

Lisanna thought it was remarkable Chelsea could transform. "So she can do something similar to transformation magic."

They continued to watch the scene with Chelsea and Mine. "Mine, you'll have to lose more of those gaps or else you'll end up as the next one killed."

Mine took offense to that. "What! Your Imperial Arms would be useless once you've been found out!"

The other girl just shrugged. "That's true since it's a cosmetic type." She pointed back at Mine playfully. "But that just makes it more worth it to surprise you. Your surprised expression just now was wonderful."

Mine screamed at the other girl. "She pisses me off so much!" Chelsea was laughing as she enjoyed her reaction."

The whole scene faded to black. Lucy didn't know what to think what she saw and turned to Chelsea. "You were certainly playful in a word."

Chelsea thought to take it as a compliment. "Hey, Mine was fun to tease and I enjoyed every single second when I got the chance."

The scenery changed before them and were somehow looking above a balcony of the house at night with Wendy standing outside on it wearing a nightgown. "Ah-choo! I think it's colder out here than I thought."

"Wendy?" Everyone saw Leone walk up to the younger girl with even less clothing then before. Just her top and her bottoms but it was night and figured that's how she just slept. "Can't sleep?"

"Yeah I…just have a lot on my mind."

"Is about Chelsea and Su?" Chelsea would really like to know that.

"No, not them but I do think they're nice." And that dashed away Chelsea's hope but was glad to hear Wendy's first impression of her. Then all of them saw Wendy looked up at the sky as if she were looking at them. "When I look at the sky, I keep reminding myself that it's different than the sky I looked at from my world. The same can be said about the moon and stars. Even the air. They're all different than the ones in my world."

Up until this point, none of them did think of it that way before. Wendy was in a different world which meant everything was different just like she described. They saw Leone look up at the sky with the young dragon slayer. "Hey Wendy, what can you tell me about your world? What's it like?"

They Wendy close her eyes. "It's beautiful. There are a lot of towns named after flowers and a lot of different people. There are a lot of different guilds and all kinds of magic." The scene before them was actually heartwarming. Having Wendy describe what her world was like to Leone. "You know Leone, I think and some of the other members of Night Raid would get along well with my friends."

And that line certainly grabbed the interest of the Fairy Tail members. "Is that so? Any idea how?"

"Well, I can see Tatsumi getting along with Natsu…"

The fire dragon slayer raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? Where did she get that idea?"

"Akame and Erza talking about swords…"

Said girls looked at each other and Akame smiled. "She has mentioned you're a skilled sword master before."

Erza would be lying to herself if she wasn't curious about the sword Akame always carried. "I do believe she has a point."

"Mine talking to Bisca and Alzack about the different types of guns…"

Alzack smiled at the mention. "The gun that girl carries is interesting."

His wife couldn't agree more. "I'll say. I'd like to know how it works."

"Sheele talking to Levy about different books…" Levy giggled a little at that.

"Bulat getting along with Elfman…"

Elfman felt a slight chill going down his spine. "Just as long he doesn't do anything weird." His sister giggled at him.

"Mr. Su cooking food with Freed and helping out Mirajane…"

Mirajane liked the idea. "He certainly would be very helpful to have around."

"Chelsea talking to Lucy…"

Said blonde was a little confused. "Wait, why me?"

"Probably because you two wear makeup." Natsu commented.

Lucy expected an answer like from him. "Okay but that's not enough for us to talk. Considering what she does, I think Mira would be better or Lisanna." Chelsea wasn't going to comment on that.

"And Lubbock getting along with Loke."

Hearing that terrified Lucy. "Okay, anyone who can get along with Loke is basically trouble."

Leone couldn't help but laugh. "I can see that happening now that I've actually met the guy."

"Oh, and you having drinking contests with Cana."

Cana grinned at the mention. "Well, that's one thing crossed out."

"You think so huh? What about the boss?"

The other members were curious about that. "I think so too but I don't know who she would get along with."

Happy suddenly had a thought. "Maybe she can get along with Erza. She did hit Leone and that other guy the same why Erza hits Natsu and Gray." Lucy wasn't sure about that.

"You know before I arrived in this world, Chelia told me she had something to tell me after our job was supposed to be done. Not a minute goes by of me thinking what she wanted to tell me."

"Don't worry Wendy. Once you find a way back, you'll find out." She, along with the guild members saw Wendy lower her head. "What's wrong?"

There was silence between the two girls for a few seconds. "I can't go back."

"What you do you mean you can't? Of course, you can. We just have to find-"

"The way back to my world is no longer here. While I was on a date with Esdeath, she told me while we were at the library. The way back to my world was destroyed a long time ago. I had trouble believing it but it was true. There are no other ways to return to my world in any of the other books." Everyone saw the tears coming out of her eyes. "I won't see Chelia, my guild, or my world ever again. I'm stuck in this world forever." They could hear her cry. Erza didn't like seeing Wendy like this. She felt like she needed to comfort the younger girl but this was a memory of the past. That was when she saw Leone wrap her arm around Wendy to bring her closer. "Leone?"

"Don't worry about it. So what if you didn't find your way back in a book? Maybe it's not in any book but I'm sure there is a way for you to return. Hell, I'm pretty sure Chelia is trying her hardest finding a way for you to come back. One of the two is bound to happen so don't give up yet and keep on hoping."

At that moment, Erza felt happy seeing Leone was there to comfort Wendy when she wasn't there. "Thank you, Leone."

"It's no problem, Wendy. Everyone in Night Raid is here for you just like you're here for us." Everyone noticed the young dragon slayer was starting to doze off. "Come on, let's get back to bed." They saw the two girls walk back into the room and went into the bed together before everything faded to black.

Lucy couldn't stop smiling at what she seen and turned to the other blonde. "That was really sweet of you to say that. Thanks."

Leone chuckled nervously a little at what she heard. "It was nothing but I did mean what I said back then. About her finding a way to her world and that Night Raid will be there for her when she needs us."

While the scene was endearing, Natsu had one question. "So why were you sleeping with Wendy in the same bed?"

The question did strike Leone a little on the sensitive side. She was lucky enough Wendy wasn't showing them all of their moments but had to come up with an explanation. "W-Well…someone had to keep her company. Out of all us, Wendy and me had the closest relationship." And she realized the mistake she had made. "Crap! I didn't mean it to say it like that!"

"So what you're saying is that you were looking out for her?" Gray asked.

Leone thought it was good enough and nodded quickly. "Yeah! I mean, strong as she is, Wendy's still a kid and did need some comforting so I did just that like the big sister I am of the team."

Everyone seemed to believe her answer which was Leone had hoped for. Chelsea grinned at the bullet the blonde dodged. "Nice save there Leone."

They saw the setting changed again and saw what was happening next. "Sky Dragon's Claw!"

The group was witnessing Wendy fighting Susanoo for some apparent reason. "Why's Wendy fighting that guy?" Natsu asked.

As if Najenda had heard him. "Just a sparring match between the two that's all. I have to say; Wendy is doing quite well."

The fire dragon slayer grinned while holding up his hand with fire being ignited. "Seeing this makes me want to fight that Suso-guy."

Lucy thought that was a bad idea and nonsensical. "First off, this is a memory. Second, it's Susanoo. Weren't you listening?"

They continued to watch Wendy fight it out with Susanoo for a while longer until they saw her take up a position they haven't seen before. "Sky Dragon's…Soar Charge!" Everyone saw Wendy's new attack and tried it out on the human Imperial Arms but was blocked and pushed her back. The group saw the wind coming out of Wendy's elbow this time. "Sky Dragon's Gusting Elbow!"

Lucy saw the similarities of the two attacks. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's learning those attacks from you Natsu."

Natsu could see it too. "That's pretty awesome."

Everyone saw Susanoo land a blow on the young dragon slayer. "Impressive. A hit like that would've broken all of her ribs on that side. Those enhancement spells she did before really help out a lot."

Erza couldn't believe what she heard from past Chelsea. "She's still struggling even with the enhancement spells?"

Gray had to admit that was impressive. "Just goes to show you how strong this guy is."

"Come on Wendy! I got a lot riding on here!"

"What are you talking about this time?"

"We've made another bet on who would win."

"You guys made another bet on her?!"

Their conversation raised some questions from Erza and turned to the three assassins. "What's this about making another bet?"

Leone chuckled nervously again. "The first bet was whether or not Wendy would come out to us."

And she received a death glare from Erza. "You betted on that?!"

The blonde held up her hands in defense. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! It was just for fun, that's all."

"If it makes you feel any better, Wendy did get Leone back by winning a game of poker." Akame explained. "In any case, this bet was to see who would win. Su or Wendy. Most of us betted on Su while Lubbock and Leone betted on Wendy."

Gray looked back at the fight. "So what did you guys bet on?"

"Losers have to do the winners chores for a week which meant if Lubb and Leone lost, they would have to do all of our chores." Chelsea explained.

"ICE SKY DRAGON MODE!"

Wendy's sudden transformation gained the attention from everyone and saw it. "What the hell? Pumpkin powered up all of a sudden!"

All of them saw the young dragon slayer jump into the air with ice and wind surrounding her hand. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Her attack came as expected if it was anything similar to Natsu's Lightning Flame Dragon Mode. Her fist attack managed to push Susanoo away while destroying everything in its path. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!"

She unleashed her breath attack right at Susanoo. Max laughed while feeling a little unnerved. "Why does that look familiar to me?"

Her breath attack destroyed the cliff face while causing an explosion. The scene was almost reminiscent to what Natsu did when he entered his Lightning Flame Dragon Mode a second time. Not too long after her attack, everything went black and heard Leone call out her name. "Wendy!"

Lucy can understand why Wendy collapsed after using her attack. "I guess it takes a lot out of her huh?"

Gray was wondering about something else. "Does anyone else want to know if that guy made it out okay?"

The scene reopened to reveal everyone back inside the house with Wendy laying her head on Leone's lap. "Well, hello there. Feeling better?"

"Y-Yeah. How long was I out?"

"About thirty minutes."

They saw Susanoo hand Wendy a cup of water. Seeing in the scene pretty much answered his question.

Thank you, Mr. Su. I hope I didn't hurt you too much."

"Not at all."

Everyone wasn't surprised that Wendy was worried about the safety of her teammate. "Are you kidding me?! You practically destroyed everything all around and in front of you. When in the hell did you learn how to do that?"

"Funny enough, just now."

Lucy sighed at what she heard. "I don't know if Wendy taking after Natsu is a good thing or a bad thing."

"Most defiantly a bad thing." Erza confirmed.

"Wow, Wendy. I think that new power of yours can be your trump card."

"You really think so?"

The Fairy Tail wizards heard Najenda clear her throat and looked over at her. "Well…I am glad you can be able to use it again. However, if you end up fighting Esdeath again, she'll be expecting it. She won't make the same mistake twice."

Erza narrowed her eyes when she heard Esdeath's name. "She said again. I take it that she survived after all."

Chelsea snapped her finger at her while smiling. "You guessed correct. Even we didn't believe she survived but it's Esdeath."

Lucy would have to believe that. "This Esdeath woman is pretty scary."

"Now that everyone has improved since our time here, what do you think of Night Raid now that you've been with us for the past month?"

All eyes turned to past Chelsea. "I'll tell all of you this. You're a lot stronger than my previous team. Wendy especially since I've never seen anyone like her. With that said, I took up the liberty of looking at your previous reports regarding Sheele and Bulat. Both of them died in recent battles. They didn't die because they weren't strong. They died because they were incompetent."

And then the members of Fairy Tail turned their attention to the present Chelsea and they didn't look too happy. Chelsea knew she was in trouble. "Uh-oh."

"What did you just say?"

"What I'm trying to say is all of your better get your act together. If not, there'll be a good chance one of you ends up dead next before all of this is over." Past Chelsea began to walk away from the group and headed up the stairs.

"She really pisses me off so much." And the scene faded to black.

The Fairy Tail members continued to stare at Chelsea. Lucy was the first to speak up. "How could you say such a thing? You never even met those two before."

"You talk down on your comrades and you mocked the fallen. Have you no respect at all?" Erza asked seriously.

Chelsea took a step back and waved her hands in front defensively. "Whoa, hey, I know now that looking back, I may have been a little insensitive-"

"It's a lot more than a little insensitive if you ask me." Gray added.

Chelsea didn't see herself winning this fight. "She was worried." Everyone turned to Akame who had her eyes closed. "What she said is out of context but in truth, she was worried what would happen to us because of what happened to her previous team."

Hearing that did ease the tension of the Fairy Tail members. "What happened to her previous team?" Lucy asked.

Chelsea sighed and looked away from them. "They were all killed."

Now Lisanna couldn't help but feel a little sad for the other girl. "Chelsea…"

She still had more to say and chuckled a little. "There is more. I doubt Wendy is going to show this next part to you all so I'll go ahead and explain it. Wendy and I had a…bit of a debate about her beliefs. I told you if she kept thinking the way she did, Wendy would get herself killed since our world isn't the same as you. And then Wendy told me that she'll never change what she believes in. Saying stuff like if she did throw those beliefs away, it would mean the same as betrayal to her. Have to say, she was something else."

Carla could believe that and smiled. "I can imagine Wendy saying that but why wouldn't she let us see that part?"

"Because we were both in the hot spring." Chelsea replied.

That was a good reason why. As if on cue, the setting changed yet again and everyone saw the whole Night Raid team standing in front of their previous base. "So this is our new base? It looks the same as the previous one."

Already Natsu was confused. "Why does it look the same as their last one?"

"Well, when you want a base that's easy to escape yet hard to find, the base is bound to look similar to the previous one."

"There's your answer." Gray commented.

"What's more is that this base has a hot spring close by."

"That's what I'm talking about. What do you say we knock back a couple after we're done?"

"Sounds good to me."

"What do you say, Wendy? Care to join us?"

Already Carla took offense to that and turned to Leone. "Excuse me?! She's but a child!"

"Wendy can't drink! She's under aged!" It was as if Tatsumi heard her.

"I know that. I thought she would have some ginger ale or something like that."

Carla heard that and realized she was out of line. "I apologize."

Leone didn't seem to mind. "It's alright. Besides, I knew better than that."

After Najenda praising both Lubbock and Susanoo (unevenly) about their work surrounding the base with wires and trap holes, the whole team entered the new base. All of them gathered in the new meeting room. "Now that we've arrived at our new base, it's time to hear out your next mission. Our targets, this time, are a new type of danger beasts. There have been numerous reports of them being in groups and have shown signs of intelligence. Individually they're very strong and those who went up against them have been killed."

"Do we have any idea where they are?"

"Yes. They're mostly seen in the south outside of the Capital. They prowl around in the woods and mines but have attacked a few villages. They have eaten humans and livestock alike. The Jaegers and Imperial Army are hunting them but it doesn't seem like their numbers are decreasing."

Lucy gulped at the description. "They eat…humans?"

"Well, if they're having a hard time then it's highly unlikely this is a trap."

"I believe so as well. With this mission, we are helping out the Empire. All of you don't have a problem with that right?"

Everyone gave their opinion that they didn't mind at all except for past Chelsea. "So all of you are really going to do this? Why don't we just leave this to Jaegers? Chances are a few of them are bound to be killed by them. It sorts out the problem on both ends."

Erza won't deny there was some truth to that. It would be better if two enemy factions fight against each other. "That may be true but these danger beasts are still attacking innocent people. Even if we are murderers, we still have the duty to protect the people. That's why we have to kill them as quickly as possible." And there was Tatsumi's argument.

"I agree with Tatsumi. We're doing this to protect the people from these monsters. Even if we are going to help the enemy, making sure that no else has to be harmed by them is what matters the most. Isn't that important as well?"

Again, Wendy had showed her worry for others then for her own self being. "All right I get it. You two made it clear."

All of them heard the teams they were to be paired up with. Wendy ended up with both Leone and Akame. There was also some confusion of Tatsumi's fly being open and everyone making fun of him for it. After seeing that bit of fun scene, everything went to black. It quickly came back and everyone found themselves in a cave of sorts. A large cave with numerous rock columns scattered everywhere. "Where are we now?" Lucy asked. Her answer came in the form of several large booms echoing throughout the cave and destroying the columns. "Never mind what I said before. What's going on!?"

"Incredible. I can't even tell what's going on. Can you see them, Leone?"

Everyone turned to Leone who was in her beast form and Akame. They were overlooking what was currently happening. "Barely. It's insane how this fight is going and it just started."

"I think…what we're seeing now is what the battles are like from Wendy's world."

"You call this a battle? It's more like a freaking war here!"

None of them still didn't know what was going on. They heard a crash over to where the fight was going on and saw a strange figure. "Sky Dragon's Raging Storm!"

They saw Wendy launch her attack at the figure and stuck him. "Who the hell is Wendy fighting against? Those danger beasts mentioned earlier?" Gray wondered.

"No, it's not." All of them turned to Leone. "You remember those five cloaked guys that got sucked in from earlier? We ran into one of them but…here's the kicker. That guy Wendy is fighting…is a member of Tartaros."

"TARTAROS!" They looked back at demon and couldn't believe it.

Out all of everyone to be sucked in along with Wendy, it had to be Tartaros. The fact some were still even around was unbelievable. "But I thought Tartaros was done for after what we did to them."

Gray thought the same as Lucy. "Apparently, there were still some walking about but what were they doing at the Other Gateway place?"

"Revenge Bomber!" They saw Tartaros member, Raid launch his counterattack at Wendy and struck her. "I'm not done yet with you yet!" He continued his onslaught of attacks at the young dragon slayer. Seeing her under attack like that made it hard to look away. She did manage to counterattack the Tartaros member and send him back down.

She was about to do her next attack when past Akame yelled out a warning. "Wendy! Don't attack him!"

"Hey, hold on. Why shouldn't Wendy hit the guy?"

"He let himself to be hit. He wouldn't do that unless this demon had some sort of plan."

Erza turned to her. "Did you really think so?"

Akame nodded at the question. "Yes. Why else would he purposely let himself be attacked by Wendy? I'd guessed he must've had some sort of ability that was connected."

"Rising War!" Everyone saw Raid sent out his attack at Wendy and sent her into the air. "It's not over yet!" What they saw next was Raid striking Wendy everywhere and juggling her. "It was because of you and your guild Tartaros fell! All of you were in the way of our grand plan to revive Master E.N.D and ruined it! I will make you suffer ten times, no one hundred times over for what you and your guild have done to us! Tartaros is gone now and it's all your fault!" Everyone saw him strike Wendy back into the ground and heard what they thought they would never hear. Wendy screeching out in pain. Erza felt like she needed to aid the younger girl despite witnessing a memory. Chelsea found it tough to watch as she had never seen the fight but did hear of it from Akame and Leone. Still, witnessing it first hand was completely different experience. "You feel that, don't you? It hurts, doesn't it? However, the pain you're experiencing is nothing compared to what we felt when we lost Tartaros!" The water began to flow back to them and submerged Wendy. "I told you I'm not done yet!You will pay for everything you've done to us Fairy Tail!"

Erza gritted her teeth and couldn't handle it anymore. "Get off of her now!"

At that instant, the wind blew up and sent Raid into the air. "What the hell?!"

Everyone saw Wendy enter her Ice Sky Dragon Mode but only for a moment when she returned to her normal state. "Sky Dragon's Wave Wind!" This time, it was Wendy's turn to attack mercilessly. "Tartaros murdered innocent people! All of you were going to ruin millions of lives!" She delivered a few more of her attacks onto the demon until he crashed into the cavern floor. Everyone could see how tired she was from both the beating and her attacking but they knew she wasn't going to give up just yet. "But most of all, I will not allow you to harm my friends again!" They saw her spread her arms apart. "DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ART! SHATTERING LIGHT: SKY DRILL!"

Her attack completely overwhelmed the demon and destroyed the cavern wall behind him all the way to the surface. Wendy swayed back and forth before falling. "Wendy!" Past Leone managed to catch her in time. "Come on Wendy speak to me. Say something."

They heard small sounds coming from the younger girl and saw her smiled at the blonde. "Are you…and Akame alright?" Everyone saw her pass out after asking that question.

All of them saw how emotional Leone was and held Wendy close to her. "You silly girl. I'm supposed to be the one asking you that."

The whole scene seemed bittersweet for the Fairy Tail wizards. Wendy did win her fight against the Tartaros member but was heavily injured. The saw Akame walk toward the giant hole the young dragon slayer had created. "Leone, I'm going up ahead to see the extent of this. Catch up when you can but hurry. I have a feeling this cavern may collapse."

"Yeah, sure. I'll be right behind you." Everyone saw Akame ran into the hole. "Don't worry Wendy. You're going to be okay."

The scene quickly changed and fast forward to the part where Akame and Leone reunited with the other teams. They saw the condition Wendy was in. "Oh man, she looks really roughed up."

"Just what in the hell what happened to her?"

"It was him. That demon bastard did this to Wendy but she was able to beat him. She was the one who caused this whole thing."

The Fairy Tail members looked at the direction Leone was staring at and saw Raid lying down on a slag of rock unconscious. "Guess we know now where he ended up at." Gray commented.

"Are you freaking joking?!"

They saw Mine walk up to the demon. "I wouldn't go near him if I was her." Happy warned.

"Boo!"

Both Mine and Lucy screamed when Raid jumped scared the pinkette and started to laugh. "You should've seen the look on your face! Priceless!"

Lucy got over her initial scare. "How is he still conscious after taking Wendy's attack?"

"How in the hell are you still alive after that?!" Apparently, Leone had the same kind of question.

"Even I'm surprised believe me. However, I can't move a single part of my body. So the rest of you are the Night guys I've heard about before. I can already tell the lot of you aren't that special. You're just humans after all."

"Maybe so but you're not in any position for smack talk. You know who we are and know what we look like. I'm sure you can piece the rest."

Everyone had a sinking feeling for what was to come next. "Oh I know but even if I'm gone, the others will stop at nothing to kill that little brat for what she and her guild had done to us. And if you thought I was a handful, there are three others in my group who are stronger than me! You lot can try but in the end, all of you won't stand a chance against them!"

There was silence among them for a few second before Mine pointed her gun at the demon and began to charge it up. "Thanks for the heads up but we'll see what happens when we meet the rest of your group." They saw Mine shoot the demon right through the head with the sound of the shot echoing throughout the night air.

Everything went to black. Chelsea and the other former assassins saw the distraught looks on the Fairy Tail members. "You can speak out your thoughts about what you saw. We're ready."

Erza closed her eyes. "We understand completely why you had to do it. He was a threat to Wendy. Therefore, we will not say anything against what you did." She opened her eyes and turned to the three former assassins. "It is how you operated, is it not?"

Akame nodded at her. "You are correct."

The setting shifted and were in the main room of Night Raid's base with everyone gathered. "So…how is Wendy's condition?"

"Well, she's recovering fine now but the injuries she had, I've never seen anything like them before. They're the kind any normal human wouldn't survive."

"Would the two of you explain what happened out there? This was supposed to be simple extermination mission."

"It did start out that way but then we entered a cave to search for more of the bastards. We were separated from Wendy for a while and then that's where the enemy showed up. Leone and I fought him but there was little we could do. That's when Wendy arrived and fought him."

"I see and what do we know about this new enemy." And the rest of the conversation was about how enemies from Wendy's world were now in their world. They wondered how they arrived and described how there were five cloaked figures who were sucked into the Other Gateway before Wendy was. They realized their situation became more difficult with not only having to deal with the Jaegers but with the remaining members of Tartaros. There was some speculation about the demons working with the Empire but both them and the Fairy Tail members doubted that since they wouldn't align themselves with humans. The last question was how Raid said the others know about Wendy being in their world but couldn't figure out how they would know if only one of them had encountered Wendy.

For Erza, she might've figured it out. "He must've contacted one of his allies closest to him by using telepathy magic.'

Suddenly, it all made sense to Leone. "Wait, seriously?!"

The conversation continued with Lubbock. "So what are we going to do now? We know there are four other demons out there and they'll be gunning for Wendy and likely us as well. It's not like we can hole her up here at the base."

"I know Wendy wouldn't like that. She would rather fight them is what I'm guessing."

"I suppose that is something we can only ask her. As for these new developments, we will continue with our mission. These demons will not deter us. For what we know of them now that are not allied with Empire but are still an enemy to us. We must be wary of them since they are a powerful force and what Wendy told us about this Tartaros, they may be even more fearsome then Esdeath and the Jaegers. As for now we will rest and will deal with them somehow later on. Is that clear?"

"Yes/understood."

The whole scene faded quickly and then reappeared once again with everybody prepping up. "Thanks to the Jaegers part, the number of the enemy danger beasts has dropped down drastically. By the end of this night, we should be able to wipe them out completely."

"What happens if we run into these Tartaros guys?"

"If the situation does arise, try to avoid confrontation. They've proven that they can even give Wendy a hard time. I highly doubt they'll go the Empire and report us since they'll probably cause a panic themselves."

Gray turned his attention the three former assassins. "You couldn't take them on with your weapons?"

Leone rolled her eyes at the question. "If we could, Wendy wouldn't have to fight that demon guy. Akame and me fought him before she showed up but the guy was a lot tougher than we thought."

"Why didn't you help her fight against him?" Lucy asked.

"Because Wendy was the one who told us to stay back while she fought him. It was her fight to begin with. We stayed behind because Leone wouldn't leave her alone and neither would I." Akame replied.

The conversation continued a little longer before the door suddenly opened to reveal Wendy walking into the room. "Well, speak of the devil."

"Hey there, Wendy. Are you…feeling okay?"

"I'm fine Leone. I just needed a little rest is all. Are all of you going out again?"

"Indeed yes and if you're feeling well enough, you may go. However, you should be aware that these Tartaros demons will be after you since they know you're here. Are you still willing to go now that you know this?"

They saw Wendy nod at the leader. "Of course, I am. I won't let something like this stop me. Tartaros was defeated once and they will be defeated again."

"An excellent answer. Once this danger beast problem is over with, we will see what we can do about them. For now, same teams as before. Leave none of the bastards alive. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir/understood."

The whole scene faded back to black. Then it came back with the rest of Night Raid somehow gathered all together and they were facing against another mysterious figure and chances were, it was another of the Tartaros demon in a rocky area. "Team, gathered, rescue."

"Well, what do we have here? You must be one of those Tartaros guys Wendy told us about."

Lucy was already confused with what was going on. "Hold on. How did we get to here?"

Chelsea remembered this all too well. "Funny enough, this from what I saw."

"What do you mean?" Natsu asked.

"Hey, guys we got a problem. Akame is acting weird and Wendy and Leone aren't moving."

Everyone turned to where Leone and Wendy were and Erza was instantly worried. "What happened to them?"

Leone thought she should explain. "That masked demon bastard with the claws struck both me and Wendy and we ended up in some weird dream travel. I guess the shortest version I can explain is that I somehow ended up in Wendy's dream from when she first met all of you to that whole Face thing."

Lucy looked over at Akame and noticed something strange about her. "What about Akame? She looks out of it."

Akame lowered her head a little. "I fought against the demon and he managed to scrape me. After that, I saw the previous team I was on. They were all there standing in front of me. The thing is, they weren't them. I can't exactly describe it but…" She sighed. "I just can't describe it. The closest I can is that it felt…maddening."

If that was the best description she could come up with, they would have to take it. "Stop it. That's not going to happen!"

"Hey, Akame. Akame! Snap out of it! What's gotten over you?"

"Your words will never reach her."

Everyone looked around to see where the voice was coming from. "Uh…who said that?" Lucy asked in a frightened voice.

They all looked over toward the demon in front of Night Raid. "What the hell? How is he talking to us in our heads?"

"Perhaps it's communicating with us through some sort of telepathy."

"You are indeed correct. I am Sklade of Tartaros and I only assume the rest of you are this Night Raid."

"You got that right. Mind telling us what did you do to our friend?"

"Something's wrong with Wendy and Leone! They're not waking up!"

"No, it can't be. Are they-"

"The two aren't dead but will be soon enough." The team didn't understand what he meant by that. "The two over there are reliving the girl's memories. That's what I assume in case. Once they reach the end, both of their lives will come to an end. As for your other friend, she is inflicted by my madness curse. Soon enough the madness will drive her to end her own life just to silence the voices in her head. Only I have the power to stop it."

"If that's the case, all we need to break this curse of yours is beat you. You're going to pay for what you did to them."

"As if humans like you will stand a chance against me. Out of all them, that girl is the weakest in their group. I will take her out first."

Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Wait, why would he say that outright?"

"Gee, thanks for letting us know."

"What! How did you know what I was thinking?!"

"Because we can still hear your thoughts."

"I thought I cut it off. I'll do so now. There. I may be the weakest in the group but even I can still take on the four that can fight. It won't be easy though."

Lucy had to facepalm at that. "We can still hear him."

"Oh, so you're the weakest. That makes things a bit easier."

"How is that possible!? Can he read my mind?!"

"No, we can still hear your thoughts."

"Wow, you're a dumbass."

Lucy would have to agree with what Mine said. "And apparently, not all that smart."

Gray thought the same and had his own thoughts. "Hard to believe he's from Tartaros given what we had to go through with them."

"Enough already! This is why I don't use telepathy much. No matter. Since all of you are here now, I can be rid of all of you!" Everyone saw a dark aura surround his body. "Witness, power, Tartaros…" They saw his body change form into this Etherious form. "Etherious form…Demon Reaper."

The Fairy Tail members saw the fear and the uneasiness they saw from the Night Raid members. That is until they saw Tatsumi rush at the demon and attacked him but Sklade blocked the attack. "What the hell are you thinking you idiot!"

"We don't have any time being weirded out by his power! We're on the clock here! Wendy and Leone are finished if they ever get to the end and Akame won't snap out of this guy's spell if we don't do anything now!"

"As if mere humans can stand up against a demon. Let me show you the difference between us!"

The members of Fairy Tail witnessed the battle between Night Raid and Sklade. Each of the members showed off what they could do with their Imperial Arms. They saw Sklade being caught midair somehow and saw Mine charging up her gun. Gray was a little curious about the weapon. "So what kind of gun is that?"

Leone grinned at the question. "As you can see, that's one of the Imperial Arms called The Dangerous Adventurer: Pumpkin. What that can do is the more danger it's user is in, the more powerful it can get."

Alzack was impressed by what Mine's weapon can do. "That's quite the gun she has."

Bisca realized something else. "And since she's fighting against one of the Tartaros demons…" Her assumption was right as the shot coming from Pumpkin was indeed powerful.

However, it wasn't powerful enough and the demon struck Lubbock. As he got hit, wires that seemed to wrap around the demon loosened up. Tatsumi was able to catch him and heard the mention of Cross-Tail. "What's this Cross-Tail thing he's talking about?"

Chelsea thought to explain on that. "It's one of the Imperial Arms known as Infinite Uses: Cross-Tail. It uses wires to trap and ensnare its opponent and they're known as World Severing String because nothing can break through them."

Natsu thought otherwise. "Bet I can."

A certain detail reminded Gray of something Leone said before and turned to her. "What you did back at Caracall island, this was the friend you were talking about?"

Leone nodded at him. "Uh-huh. Like I said, comes in handy."

They continued to watch the fight with Sklade coming at Mine but then firing off another shot at him and then Susanoo fighting him. He was keeping up with the demon and Mine fired another shot at him. Then he was randomly attacked and was sent flying in the air. It turned out it was Tatsumi who became visible. Erza was curious about the armor he had ever since she first saw it. "That armor he's wearing. What's it called?"

"The Imperial Arms Demon Armor: Incursio. It'll make the wearer invisible but without masking your aura, it'll prove useless." Akame replied.

Already Natsu was confused. "What's aura?"

"Inner life force. If you have a pretty powerful aura and you're invisible, we can pretty much sense you regardless." Chelsea explained.

They resumed watching the fight and saw Sklade getting serious. "All of you have tried my patience long enough!" The red marks on his body began to glow and Akame started to scream. Sklade's weapon was surrounded by a red aura and swung it at the members of Night Raid.

As soon as he unleashed his attack, everything around the Fairy Tail members was shaken and this time went to white. There was a high pitch noise as well. "What happened?!" Lucy asked.

Chelsea knew what happened. "That attack came at us pretty fierce. We managed to avoid it but it was still powerful. I managed to see what happened next once everything started to focus."

Just as she said, everything began to focus again. Everyone saw Sklade walk over to where Akame was. "Time to finish this."

"Ku…rome…"

"Kurome…yes, that was the same human I had fought before. She too fell before my Madness Curse. I can only imagine what horrible images you have seen in the time since I've inflicted on you. It only gets worse if I ever enter my Etherious form." Sklade stopped in front of Akame and raised his scythe. "You shall be the first of the casualties. Your friends will join you soon enough. Enjoy your trip to the netherworld." Sklade swung his scythe at Akame. Almost simultaneously, Akame stabbed the demon before Sklade's scythe reached her neck. They all heard the demon scream and took a few steps back. "No, impossible! You shouldn't be able to do anything like that!" Markings started to appear where Akame stabbed the demon. "What's happening? What's going on?!"

Lucy had the same question. "Yeah, what is going on?"

Past Chelsea provided an explanation. "It's Murasame's poison. Once that sword pierces the skin of its target, a deadly poison spreads throughout and killing them quickly."

After hearing that explanation, Erza and the others turned their attention to Akame. "Is that true?"

Akame grabbed Murasame's handle. "It is. My Imperial Arms, Murasame, is known as the One Cut Killer Sword. As the name implies, whatever it cuts into, a deadly poison spreads all the way to the target's heart and effectively killing them." Lucy thought back at Margret town when she and Loke saw Akame kill the monsters with her sword even though it was only one strike. It made more sense to her now hearing what Akame's sword can do.

Erza thought Cobra's poison was deadly before but what she heard about what Murasame could do definitely beats his. "And you're continuing to use that sword?"

"Not against humans. Especially the bandits we had to face whenever we went on a job. At least in this world because they can be taken by the proper authorities. The only time I use Murasame is on wild animals and that's all. That's why I use this other sword I wield when I fight against human enemies. And when I don't have either with me…"

Gray can guess what Akame was going to say next. "You use your Maker Magic to create those shadow swords."

Lucy was surprised to hear what Akame could do. "You can you Maker Magic too?"

Akame nodded at Gray. "Yes."

"Good thing you stabbed the guy when you did." Natsu commented.

Akame looked back at the scene before her. "While I was under his influence, I saw Kurome standing in front of me in place of that demon. In actual truth, my instinct took over and tried to kill her."

Again, with one of the sisters wanting and trying to kill the others. Lucy still couldn't believe they would do such a thing. "Why do you want kill each other? You're both sisters!"

Akame looked over at the blonde. "Continue to watch and you'll soon discover the truth about why Kurome wanted me dead."

All of them had no choice but to wait and see why these two sisters had to kill each other and resumed watching how this fight ended. "I am Etherious! A simple poison won't be enough to kil-"

And they saw Sklade get impaled by a spear of some kind in the back thrown by Lubbock. "Where did he get the spear?" Gray wondered.

Leone chuckled at his question. "Oh yeah. I forgot to mention Lubb can make weapons out of the wires coming from Cross-Tail but that's not the best part."

"Man, that was a close one. Even I thought I was going to die there for a second but as you can see, it's over now."

"Nothing is over! Not yet!"

"Sorry dude but it is. As we speak, Cross-Tail is surrounding your heart. Even if you're a demon, I'm pretty sure you need vital organs to stay alive."

Natsu was surprised to hear that. "Wait, seriously?!" Erza was beginning to understand how lethal these Imperial Arms could be.

"Like I told you loser…" They saw Mine being carried by Tatsumi. "Underestimate us and you'll pay for it."

"Face it, you've lost."

"Any last words you would like to say?"

There was silence among them for several seconds before Sklade spoke. "You truly are foolish humans. Do not let this one victory think you can best all of us. You have only begun to feel the wrath of Tartaros!" After saying those words, Lubbock closed his hand and Sklade let out one last scream before dropping to the ground. After his defeat, Akame snapped out of her induced trance. They checked on Leone and Wendy to see if they were okay to their relief, they were. After some hijinks like Leone hitting Tatsumi's head with hers and shaking Wendy a little before she woke up. After everyone was deemed alright, all of them decided to return to the base and everything faded to black.

Erza breathed out a little. "I'm glad everything went well considering you fought against a demon from Tartaros."

Leone did have to agree with her. "Yeah, no kidding but we're not exactly done here yet." The scene opened up to all the members of Night Raid and Wendy in a meeting room.

"Now that everyone is here, I can say this. It's time for the revolution to begin. This is how it will start. First off it has to do with a religion that is becoming well known throughout the land called the Path of Peace."

Gray raised an eyebrow at the name. "Path of Peace?"

"Oh yeah, that came to my village. The elder gave me a statue of their god before Sayo, Ieyasu and I left the village."

"In the past ten years, the Path of Peace has grown rather quite large and has become a strong influence on the eastern side of the Empire. However, they will start an uprising, an insurrection and we will use that to our advantage."

Already Erza wasn't happy with what she heard and glared at the three assassins. "You would do such a thing?!"

Unknown to Tatsumi, he agreed with her.

"Hold on! If something like that happens, how many innocent people are going to die?"

Wendy was clearly worried judging by her face. "Is that true? Are a lot of people going to die? Can't we stop it instead?"

"The corrupted politicians of the Empire have put through the people enough suffering for too long. If we stop the Path of Peace's uprising, the people's rage will just erupt in another place. This Empire is on its last legs."

"Just listen what she has to say at the end." They past Chelsea advise both Wendy and Tatsumi.

"You remember what I told you two about the Ban Tribe and the Hero of the North?"

"Yes. Both of them were stopped by Esdeath weren't they?"

"Right. Their mistake was that they took on the Empire by themselves. The Empire is still pretty damn strong. If the Path of Peace's insurrection is stopped, a lot of blood will be spilled in the end."

"And now it's the Revolutionary Army's turn."

The discussion continued and Natsu groaned at what he was hearing. "Hearing all of this strategizing is making my brain hurt."

Lucy wasn't surprised he was having trouble understanding. "They are fighting against a pretty big enemy. They can't take them head on."

And that was Natsu's biggest issue with the whole thing. "But it's more fun that way."

Gray groaned at what the fire dragon slayer said. "That's not how it works in their world."

They continued to hear out Najenda explain what they were planning to do. If the Empire falls and its corrupt laws along with it, the anger of the people will disappear. If we move quickly to the collapsing of the Capital, there won't be as much bloodshed. Do the both of you understand now?"

"Yeah, I get it. Sorry, I jumped the gun."

"I'm sorry too."

After hearing Najenda's explanation, the Fairy Tail members had a much clearer understanding about what they're trying to do. Leone turned her attention to Erza. "Did you really think we would risk and let innocent people die?"

Now Erza felt a little bad for what she had said earlier. "I assumed too quickly. I apologize."

The other girl smiled at her. "No problem. It's natural you would think that first. As you saw, Tatsumi and Wendy thought the same."

The meeting went on and now they were discussing about taking out a target called Borick who was a spy for the Prime Minister and what he had done. Hearing him do something awful like drugging the food for the women not only pissed off Lubbock and Susanoo, but the most of the members of Fairy Tail. One obstacle they have to deal with are the Jaegers. That is where Najenda proposed a plane to take them on. "That is why I plan to lure them outside the Capital and wage war on them."

"So we're finally going to fight them face to face huh?"

"Yes and even within the Jaegers, I have orders from headquarters for us to kill Kurome and Bols when we have the chance."

Lucy still wasn't comfortable about the two sisters killing each other. Neither were Elfman, Lisanna, and Mirajane. The thought of it made the youngest Strauss sibling feel a little sad. "I don't understand why they need to kill each other. They had to find another way, right?"

Elfman had hoped so too. "Guess we'll see when that happens."

"Bols' squad burned down a village that supported the Revolutionary Army to the ground. They probably want him gone because his firepower is a threat to us all." They heard past Chelsea explain.

"As long as the Jaegers are led by Esdeath, they are still the Minister's private army."

"What about the Tartaros guys? What should we do about them?"

"True, they are a threat but it doesn't look like they'll be interested in the war. Although they are stronger, they are not our primary concern. If they do get in our way, nothing short of an army can deal with them. I have no worry that we will encounter them once we head east so Wendy doesn't have to worry about running into them. Even though you were acquainted with them, can you fight them as enemies Wendy?"

It was a very big question for the young dragon slayer. It's one thing to fight against the enemy. It was another fighting an enemy you know that some were actual nice people. "I won't back down. I'll fight with everything I have against anyone who fights us!" That is what I believe in."

Erza can tell it wasn't easy for Wendy to say something like that. "I suppose in a world like this, it doesn't matter who you are as long as they're perceived as enemies."

Akame whole heartily agreed with her. "That's right. It doesn't matter if that person is good and kind hearted. If they're with the enemy, they will be treated as such."

Lucy thought this couldn't be worse. "Why does it have to be that way?"

Chelsea didn't blame her for thinking that. "Because that's how our world worked. You're either our ally or our enemy."

That was the harsh truth of their world and the members of Fairy Tail had to accept that. "Well said, Wendy. With that kind of determination, there'll be no chance that we'll lose. In fact, you'll play a vital role in the upcoming fight."

"What do you mean by that?"

They saw Najenda smile at the younger girl. "Because you'll be our trump card."

Already Wendy was confused. "Me a trump card?"

"That's correct. You'll be a great asset to us in the upcoming fight against the Jaegers. Your enhancement spells combined with our Imperial Arms will make a fierce combination. We'll all be counting on you when the time comes."

"So…I'll be responsible for everyone correct?"

"I know it's quite a large task but I know you can do it. You'll know what to do when the time is right."

The whole scene faded to black. Then it came back with Wendy, strangely enough wearing a swimsuit, sitting on the sand in front of a large lake and looking a little distressed. "Hey, Wendy?"

Everyone saw Chelsea and Leone who were also in swimsuits walk up to the young dragon slayer and sat down next to the younger girl at each side. Naturally, some of the male Fairy Tail members loved the swimsuits the older girls were wearing while Lucy was once again confused. "Why are you wearing swimsuits?"

Leone chuckled a little. "We were told to stand out and attract the enemy's attention. It was pretty fun if you ask me." With that explanation, they resumed past Leone talking to Wendy. "You seem to have a lot on your mind."

"You can say something like that."

"Is it about what the boss told you earlier? The boss wouldn't put you in something like this if she didn't believe in you. We all believe you'll do great."

"But what if I mess up? What if I don't act fast enough? What if I'll be the one responsible for one of you for being-"

"I'm stopping you right there." To everyone's surprise, Chelsea was the one who interrupted the young dragon slayer. "Never think like that. I know this is a big deal for you but it's like Leone said. Think of it like this. We'll put our faith in you if you put your faith in us. I do remember a certain girl telling me that once." Hearing that made Lisanna smile.

"Thank you and I will but you'll have to promise me something."

"And what would that be?"

"Promise me that you'll be careful."

Chelsea's eyes soften when she heard those words again. Her past self petted Wendy's head. "If that's what it'll take for you stop worrying then sure. I promise."

They saw Leone giving Wendy a hug. "Aww, you're so cute when you're all like this Wendy. "Do you feel a little better now?"

"A little yes. Thank you. The both of you."

"Well, that's good to hear. Now there's one more thing to do." Everyone saw Leone and Chelsea grab Wendy by the arms and counted down before tossing her into the water.

She quickly resurfaced and wasn't too happy about what the other two girls did. "Why did you do that for?!"

"You need to relax a little and have some fun. If you're all tensed up, you won't do as well when the fight comes."

"Yeah, let loose a little Wendy! It'll be good for you!"

Everyone saw the young dragon slayer smile after hearing that and waved back at them. "Come on Chelsea! Leone!" And the scene faded to black.

Out of all the scenes Erza had seen thus far, she quite enjoyed seeing this. She turned to the two girls responsible. "That was caring of you two reassuring Wendy like that."

Leone smiled at the other girl. "I don't blame Wendy for thinking like that. It was the first major battle in our world she'll be in. I mean, sure, she went through a lot of rough battles with all of you know, this is a literal fight or die situation."

Erza already knew that from what she saw. "I understand. You had a lot to lose and couldn't afford it. We know what that's like."

The setting had changed and everyone saw some of the members of Night Raid and two of the Jaegers staring each other down in a rocky canyon. The two Jaeger members were none other than Kurome and Bols. One thing that stood out was that Wendy wasn't around. Gray can guess whose memory was this. "So this is your view?"

Akame nodded. "Yes."

"Bols and Kurome! The two of you are our prime targets and are wanted dead. This is the end for the both of you!"

"So we're wanted dead, is it? I see. This is it. My redemption is finally here for all of the countless people that I've burned. However…"I have something to return to so I will not be dying to you!"

Natsu liked the odds he was seeing. "This'll be easy. It's just two of them."

Everyone saw the two sisters stare at each other. "It's been a long time, hasn't it big sister?"

"It has."

"I've wanted to see you for so long now. If I kill you…" They saw her draw out her sword. "I can add you to Yatsufusa's collection." Dark lightning came out of the ground and a giant bone hand plus several others came out of the ground.

All of the members of Fairy Tail shared Night Raid's reaction. "What's she doing!?" Lucy wanted to know.

"I've grown a lot stronger since the last time we met big sister." They saw Kurome being carried by a giant monster holding her in its hand. "I can control the bodies of the dead. Including this S-Class danger beast Desta-Ghoul!"

Elfman was in shock and awe at the monster he was seeing. "Now that's a manly beast right there!"

Juvia registered what Kurome had said. "So she can do the same thing as Keyes?"

Seeing this whole thing didn't make some sense to Lucy. "Hold on a minute. I thought that Tatsumi guy said there wasn't an Imperial Arms that could revive the dead."

"Not in the sense you're thinking." Everyone turned their attention to Akame. "That person would have to be the exact same as they were once alive but that's not the case with Yatsufusa."

Erza was almost uneasy asking her next question. "And what does this Yatsufusa do?"

Akame closed her eyes. "Imperial Arms March of the Dead: Yatsufusa can bring back those the wielder has killed as their own puppets to command. They have no will of their own and retain their former fighting capability. In short, Kurome can command the dead of those she had killed."

And Lucy was creeped out by what she heard. "That's…uh…kinda scary."

Gray could now see why the Revolutionary Army thought Kurome was dangerous. "Guess we know why she's wanted dead."

As if Erza thought these Imperial Arms couldn't be any more dangerous, now she learns of this. "This Yatsufusa does have a weakness, doesn't it?"

Akame opened her eyes to continue watching the scene before her. "Theirs is. Kurome can only control up to eight corpses and the more she summoned, the slower her reaction time is. It's the trade off of using Yatsufusa." And Erza could see that.

"This is so exciting. A battle between Imperial Arms. Just how many are going to die?"

They saw Akame go directly at her sister and tried to attack her but was then stopped by something. "Natala?" Said person pushed her back and could see Akame didn't like what she was seeing. "Let him rest in peace Kurome! He was a friend of yours, wasn't he?!"

Lucy could already tell this was starting off bad. "Wait, she killed that guy? Who's a friend?"

"How can you say that? It's because he's my friend that I want him with me forever. I'll add you as well big sister. That way we'll be together forever."

Hearing that creeped out Elfman. "And here I thought this couldn't get any more twisted."

"How can you say such a thing?"

"Too bad." Natala pushed Akame off the danger beast and Bols aimed his Imperial Arms at her. He fired a magma ball of sort at her but Tatsumi managed to get to her in time and regrouped with the rest of Night Raid. Kurome and her bodyguard went up to higher ground. "Akame...not you only betrayed us but you joined a group like Night Raid. Now Desta-Ghoul! Kill them all!"

Her danger beasts responded to her command and gathered energy in its mouth. It released all of that energy at once right at the Night Raid members in a one huge attack from its mouth. It's attack destroyed everything in its path. The members of Fairy Tail couldn't believe how powerful the monster's attack was. "Holy cow that thing is strong!" Lucy commented.

Chelsea didn't blame them for acting this way. "You're seeing what an S-Class danger beast can do."

Natsu was grinning at the beast. "It looks pretty fun to take on." Only he would say that.

They saw how the fight between Night Raid and the Jaegers played out. For Akame, she was face to face with Bols and a bald guy utilizing a shield while Leone was facing against a man who wielded a whip. Both were seen having difficulty fighting them and even saw Akame slash the bald guy but nothing happened. "Isn't your sword supposed to kill anything that cuts into?" Lucy asked.

"Murasame's poison doesn't work on what's already dead." Akame replied.

They heard Kurome laugh at their struggle and explained each of her corpses. "So what do you think of my toys? Aren't they just great? Doya is a gunslinger from the Northern Tribe. You can still see that confident look on her face. Wall was a well-known bodyguard. I had to kill him because he was protecting a target I was assigned to take out. Apeman is just a muscle head but is very easy to control. He's a favorite of mine. Henter was the last of the Ban Tribe. Killing him wasn't easy thanks to his movements. Rokugoh used to be a general in the Empire but tried to escape to join the Revolutionary Army so I killed him. I found this Desta-Ghoul by complete chance back in Seiga. And Natala is a childhood friend of mine. He protects me whenever I use Yatsufusa's power. To top this all off, I have one more puppet in waiting."

After hearing all of that, Gray thought this whole thing was insane. "You gotta be kidding me."

While the fighting was going on, past Akame and Leone were suddenly glowing. Natsu immediately recognized it. "That's Wendy's spell!"

The whip attacks weren't harming past Leone and Akame wasn't affected by the fire Bols was using. Najenda showed up where Leone was and decided to take on the former general. Unknown to them, Kurome tried to do a sneak attack on Leone but was surprised she failed and Leone was not happy with what Kurome tried to do. Najenda told her to help out Akame and she did just that.

Speaking of Akame, she continued fighting Bols and it seemed to be an even match. They stared each other down while thinking of their next move. "If I may ask a question Akame, why did you leave the Empire? I'm sure you would've been a great ally to us."

Everyone in Fairy Tail wondered the same thing. "I chose to be with Night Raid because my heart told me to. That is what I believe in."

The answer left with more questions for the Fairy Tail members. "I see. I can understand that but. However…it's my job to burn down that belief."

Before he could do his next attack, Leone showed up to lend a hand and started to fight both Bols and the corpse called Wall. The scene shifted to a view with Tatsumi fighting against Apeman and Henter at the same time. Henter rushed over to him but was intercepted by Wendy. "Sky Dragon's Claw!"

Her attack sent the corpse away from Tatsumi. "Wendy? What are you doing here?"

Before Henter could attack again, he was approached by a mysterious person wearing a mask and strange clothing. Seeing this figure made the corpse pause. "Tribesmen…"

Said tribesmen suddenly inserted a needle into his forehead and the tribesmen was revealed to be Chelsea. "It's like Akame said. These corpses don't have a will of their own but still retain their memories when they were still alive. I'm sorry to say that I'm not a member of your tribe that was wiped out."

Henter screamed until he was split apart by Tatsumi. Seeing him not moving after that proved to Erza these corpses could be defeated. "He won't be getting up again after that. Thanks, Chelsea. You too Wendy."

"Right then. You're welcome. Have fun with the monkey!"

Chelsea ran away just in time for Apeman coming at Tatsumi. He dealt with the corpse easily. "Now, rest in peace!" Tatsumi literally knocked the head off of the corpse and it fell down not moving anymore. "Finally. Let's go where Kurome is now."

"Right let's go." They both quickly left. The scene shifted to show Wendy approaching Kurome while Tatsumi was busy dealing with her bodyguard and for some reason, there was a giant frog with Kurome. "Sky Dragon's Aerial Arrow!"

Kurome evaded the attack and narrowed her eyes at the young dragon slayer. "So it's you. I should've known."

"Hello, Kurome. It's been a while I know."

"I should've run my sword through your head when I had the chance."

"It's over now Kurome. You've lost."

"It's not over yet. I still have my frog to take care of you. General Esdeath gave the order to either capture you or to kill you. Since I didn't like you in the first place, I'll just end your life. Now then my little frog, have your next meal!"

In the next second, sounds of gunshots could be heard within the frog which surprised Kurome. It certainly surprised Lucy. "Wait, someone's already in that thing!?"

"Hey, what's going on?" Kurome realized what was happening inside her frog. "No, it can't be. She's still alive in there? How can she be when there's acid in there?" She took a closer look at her frog and saw what the problem was. "Aww, it's leaking. That's just great. This means it's useless."

A shot came out from the top of the frog and Mine crawled out of it with her clothes partially dissolved and screamed. "Okay! Now I'm ready to kill a bitch!"

"When did she get in there?" Gray asked.

"Mine? What happened to you?"

"I was eaten! What the hell do you think?! Also, turn around you filthy pervert!"

"How am I the pervert!?"

Behind Mine was a woman who wielded two guns aiming at her but was then beaten off by the arrival of Najenda and Susanoo who looked vastly different. Natsu really liked Susanoo's new look. "Aw man, he looks so awesome!"

Leone knew he would like it just as Tatsumi did. "That's Su when the boss activates his trump card. If you think he was powerful then, he's really something in that form. But…there's a catch."

"And what catch is that?" Erza asked.

"In order to activate Su's trump card, the user must give their life force in order to utilize When this is done three times, the user dies." Akame explained.

They should've known the cost would be something like that. Everyone continued to watch the scene unfold before them. "It's time to give up now Kurome. You're outnumbered."

"Maybe so but I have a little info to say to you, Wendy. We know everything about you now."

"What are you saying?" The other members of Fairy Tail wanted to know that too.

"What I'm telling you is that we all know you're something called a dragon slayer. We know you come from a different world called Earthland and Lamia Scale isn't a village you're from. It's the name of the guild you're in. What's more is that you used to be in a guild called Fairy Tail."

Everyone was surprised Kurome knew that but now the question is how did she know. "H-How do you know all of that?"

"Let's just say we know a few people that have a score to settle with you."

Erza realized what Kurome meant by that. "Don't tell me…"

The scene changed back to past Leone and Akame still fighting against Bols and Wall. They did a little teamwork with Leone throwing Akame and Akame took care of the bodyguard while Leone rushed over to Bols. While doing so, an arrow struck her and did slow the blonde down a little but kept going. In the end, she managed to bite off the tip of Bols Imperial Arms and spat the piece out. "Yep, that tastes like defeat."

Bols looked down at his destroyed Imperial Arms. "She bit off my Imperial Arms."

"Your Imperial Arms is useless now. You can't use it anymore."

While that may be true, Bols still had one more trick up his sleeve and lifted the container above him. He threw it into the air. "This is the end."

The members of Fairy Tail saw the fear in both girls' eyes. "No, wait!" What happened next was an enormous explosion happened and everything went white. Everyone couldn't believe what they had just seen. Even if they were in the front of it, they could all agree that the explosion was incredibly powerful. The scene slowly returned with Leone holding up the shield that bodyguard that protected her and Akame. "Damn that was close. You okay Akame?"

"Yes, I am. What about you?"

"I'm still kicking good and well. Still, though…it looks like Bols managed to get away."

"Akame! Leone!" They all saw Wendy and the rest of Night Raid running up to them and seeming alright. "Are you two alright?"

"We're fine Wendy. Just a little banged up that's all."

"What happened to Kurome?"

"Kurome managed to get away."

"That's not even the worst of it. We got a bigger problem."

"What do you mean we have a bigger problem?"

"Bah! What a couple of weak humans!"

Everyone didn't recognize this new voice. "Whose voice is this?" Lucy asked.

"Although I have to say I'm surprised the girl had a power similar to Master Keyes but it is still inferior compared to him." One of the walls near Night Raid exploded and out came Rugoro. He took a step forward to them. "Never send humans to finish a demon's job."

Erza's suspicion was confirmed true. "So it was Tartaros that told them about Wendy. But how did they come across each other in the first place?"

Gray had a theory as to why. "Maybe it happened somewhere during those months. Still, Tartaros working with humans? I thought they hated humans."

"I could have never imagined that humans like all of you would give us much grief. Especially the one whose guild was responsible for destroying Tartaros!" They saw Rugoro slam his fist to the ground. "River Styx!" From where he struck the ground, black sludge formed and expanded to where Night Raid.

Lucy already thought what she saw was disgusting. "What is that nasty stuff?" Mine had asked the same question in almost the same manner.

"That is the power of my Rotting Curse! Anything I touch will waste away to nothing and I can manipulate it any way I can!"

Gray narrowed his eyes at the description. "Anything he touches huh?"

Leone remembered that all too well. "Yep. Which means if that guy grabbed any of us, it'd be over. It also doesn't help that most of us fight hand to hand so there's that."

"I have dreamed of this moment for so long. Not only I will avenge my comrades but also all of Tartaros. Most of all, I will finally have revenge for master Ezel!"

"Hold on a minute. Who's Ezel?"

"You of all people should know. Master Ezel was one of the Nine Demon Gates and one that I idolized. The last I heard of master Ezel was that Lady Kyouka had sent him on a mission to activate Face." Erza's breath hitched a little at the mention of Kyouka. "But then your guild got in the way and not only had they stopped Face from activating, you also somehow managed to defeat him! I will not rest until I find the one responsible for his defeat and when I do; I will make sure that not even their bones shall remain!"

Out of the Tartaros demons they've seen so far, Rugoro had more than one reason and that's what made him more dangerous to Erza. "So he's looking for revenge on the one who defeated Ezel."

Lucy suddenly remembered something what Rugoro said before. "Hold on. He said Ezel was on his way to activate Face and someone defeated him. The only person I know who did that was…" She looked over at Wendy and became afraid.

Natsu recognized the problem too. "This is bad."

"Then you found her." They couldn't believe they heard Wendy say that in front of the enemy. "I'm the one who defeated Ezel and stopped Face!"

"THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT A BRAT LIKE YOU DEFEATED MASTER EZEL!"

"Well, it's true. I'm the one responsible."

Rugoro attacked again but Wendy counterattacked. While doing so, the rest of Night Raid had no choice but to retreat. Leone was against it but Akame reassured her she had a plan. For the time being, they would leave Wendy to deal with the demon. "It's just you and me now! I'll handle you myself!"

"As if it will make a difference. Once I'm done with you, I'll go after your little group. You will pay for what all of you have done!" The sludge around Rugoro moved on its own accord and covered his entire body and began to take shape until his transformation was complete. "Etherious Form… Decay Mode!" Rugoro roared at the young dragon slayer. "Fairy Tail…your end is now!"

Rugoro and Wendy began their fight. Wendy started with using her enchantment spells to give her an edge against the demon. Rugoro was relentless with his attacks and everyone knew the risk Wendy was in taking on this enemy. Lucy thought it was unfair. "How's she supposed to take on that big ugly guy? If that sludge hits her…" Everyone else thought the same as her.

Suddenly, they saw Rugoro being blasted away from the young dragon slayer. "It's you and me now. I'll handle you myself." Everyone recognized that voice and saw who it was. "You do realize that some people hate the whole self-hero bit right?"

"Mine? Mr. Su?"

"When are you going to get it through your head that this just isn't your fight?"

"It's our fight just as much as it yours Wendy. You don't have to fight them all by yourself."

"Look, we brought you into this dealing with our problems so it's only fair we help deal with yours as well."

"I understand and thank you but what are you two doing here?"

"It's was Akame's idea. She figured you would fight this opponent by yourself. Once we were far enough, she let us know that only Mine was able to inflict damage to him without directly coming into contact"

"And Su is here because Akame knew you would need the extra help fighting against this creep. By the way, Leone told me to give you a message."

"What did she want to say?"

"Please be careful."

Everyone heard Rugoro yell. "What is this!? You dare challenge me!? I'll eliminate you all along with the brat!"

"Just try it you big ugly freak!"

Rugoro growled at Mine and roared. "Master Ezel! I will win this in your honor!"

The demon sent out his attack at the three but Susanoo held out his hand. "Eight Handed Mirror Shield!" The attack was absorbed into the mirror shield and was redirected at Rugoro.

Natsu was astounded by what Susanoo just did. "That's so cool!"

The battle continued to rage on and even with the three of them, Rugoro proved to be a very strong opponent. The demon summoned both a tidal wave and a strange hydra monster made from the sludge he had created but Wendy and the two Night Raid members persisted. He mentioned fighting against Seryu and her Imperial Arms. It seemed Rugoro had the upper hand in the battle but Wendy and the others were coming up with a plan. "For so long I have waited, have wished for to find the one who defeated master Ezel. Now that wish will be fulfilled! I will avenge him by ridding you all!" He started to gather the sludge around him and formed it into a massive sphere. "Now prepare for your trip to the gates of the netherworld! Rotting Death!" He threw his attack at Wendy and the others.

"Get ready. Wendy!"

The attack exploded and scattered everywhere. However, there was no sign of Rugoro's enemies. In fact, Mine and Wendy were being carried by Susanoo high in the air. Susanoo threw Mine first at Rugoro. At first, Lucy thought it was crazy but then remembered what Mine's Imperial Arms can do. "Eat this!" She fired a shot that completely engulfed the demon entirely.

"CHANGE MODE! ICE SKY DRAGON!" Wendy went into her Ice Sky Dragon Mode and at the same time, Pumpkin's power output increased. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S RAGING STORM!" She threw down her attack at Rugoro while he was still under Mine's attack. The two attacks combined and a large explosion occurred in the form of a pillar of light. It blew away the surrounding sludge but it wasn't over yet.

Susanoo appeared before Rugoro and summoned a sword in his hand. "It's over." He swung his sword at the demon and became enlarged. "Celestial Sword of the Heavens!" The sword cut through the pillar and tore through the ground behind him.

Everyone heard Rugoro scream in pain. "MASTER EZEL!"

The light had vanished and there was no sign of Rugoro anymore. Susanoo landed on the ground and managed to catch Wendy and Mine. "Thanks a lot, Su."

"You're welcome." They saw Susanoo revert into his original form.

"Thank you both for helping me. Now we…can…" Everything suddenly faded to black.

"What happened?" Gray wondered.

Leone knew what happened. "After that fight, Su and Mine brought Wendy back to where the rest of us were and she was resting because how much magic she used."

The scene quickly came back but in a different location this time. Everyone saw Bols emerge from some bushes and saw a girl crying. They all though it was strange a girl would be way out here. After a small misunderstanding, Bols was able to help treat the girl's injury and both seemed quite happy. So much, that the girl gave Bols a hug. "Say mister…do you remember all of those people you burned?" It was sudden but they all saw her jab a needle into Bols' neck. They all recognized who the girl was and sure enough, the girl was actually Chelsea. "That girl you just saw, she was a victim in one of the villages you burned by the Empire's orders because they thought the village was helping the Revolutionary Army. You couldn't tell because you burned them all in groups so you couldn't remember what she looked like."

Bols fell to the ground and started to crawl slowly. "I have to go back to them. They're waiting…" He held out his hand as if he was seeing something in front of him. "For me…" Bols' hand dropped and didn't move anymore. Even if he was an enemy, Bols really wasn't a bad guy but he was with the enemy and that's what made the scene hard to swallow for everyone.

Chelsea leaned back on a tree and sighed. "That's what's awful about this job. I've heard so many last words of those I've killed and this is no different." She brought out Gaea Foundation and swiped herself with several brushes and took the form of Bols.

She moved out a little away from Bols to deal with Kurome until Chelsea heard a voice. "What the hell!?" Chelsea turned around to see Lubbock staring at her.

She thought it would be best to break the disguise and broke it to reveal herself. "Relax Lubb. It's just me and I've already taken care of Bols. He didn't get very far."

Lubb sighed in relief and approached her. "That's good to know." He stopped in front of her. "So you took out your target without letting him run away. That's just like you Chelsea."

"I'm happy to see you too Lubb."

"Seriously, I freaked out when I saw Bols from far away."

They saw Chelsea put a lollipop in her mouth. "I'm going after Kurome and kill her before she joins back up with Esdeath."

Everyone was just as shocked to hear say that as Lubb was. "Kurome already left the perimeter outside of my barrier but I know which way she's heading. You can go after her but it's dangerous. It's not like you to bite off more than you can chew. Let's just head back to the others."

"It'll be too late. If we let Kurome go, she'll come back at us with eight more puppets. Isn't that the greater danger? You go back to the others and tell them I've gone ahead. Have them send out reinforcements as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I got it. Just don't get careless."

"I know. If she already met up with Esdeath, I'll back off and head back."

After hearing that, Lubbock turned away from Chelsea and started running. "I'll make sure they'll send back up soon as I meet up with them!"

"I'm counting on you!" Once Lubbock was gone, Chelsea stared at her hand and smiled sadly. "Jeez, what's going on with me? I've been going soft." She smacked her cheeks a few times and her smiled brightened. "Right then, let's do this." As soon as she took a few steps, for some reason, Chelsea stopped and just stood still. Then she placed hand on her forehead as if she was internally debating on something. After that, the scene faded away.

Gray and everyone else were left confused with what they saw. The ice wizard turned to Chelsea. "You might want to fill us in what was that all about?"

Chelsea laughed a little at the question. "Let's just say, at that moment, it could've gone either way for me. You'll see why."

They decided to take her word. The scenery changed and everyone saw the remaining Night Raid members recuperating from their recent battle against the Jaegers and Rugoro. Wendy was resting on the sole bed with Leone looking after her. After a small humor scene between Tatsumi and Mine, the door opened to reveal Lubbock looking a little distressed. "Listen up everyone. We have a situation. It's Chelsea and she's-"

"Right behind you." Lubbock as well as the rest of Night Raid were surprised to see Chelsea of all people. She smiled at all of them. "I'm pretty sure all of you weren't expecting me to show up so soon."

"But what happened about going after Kurome? You said yourself that it would be dangerous if Kurome got her hands with more corpses."

"About that. I…lost sight of her. I'm sorry I couldn't complete the mission but I was able to take out Bols. I know that's not much but still."

"It's alright. He was one of our targets so you fulfilled that duty. Well done."

"I guess it's a good thing you did lose her. Kurome isn't your normal target to take out. Back when I took a shot at her, she dodged it which should be impossible to do. It could be because of the drugging we heard about from Akame before. However, there is a chance those bastards did something else to her that Akame doesn't even know about."

Mine's words surprised Erza and the rest of Fairy Tail members. Erza turned to Akame while being in disbelief. "Is that true?"

Akame didn't look back at the other girl. "It is."

It was bad enough the two sisters were enemies but knowing that Kurome was subjected to drugs made this worse. Erza was having a hard time figuring out what was going on between the two sisters. She remembered what Akame had said before. "I chose to be with Night Raid because my heart told me to. That is what I believe in."

Erza was trying to connect the dots about the two sisters. "What reason did Akame have in leaving the Empire and joining the Revolutionary Army and how does it relate with her sister being on drugs?" She guessed her answer will come soon.

Chelsea asked what was wrong with Wendy and Leone explained it to her. Najenda also explained that the Tartaros demons were involved with the Empire which was thought to be impossible. So far, they went up against three of the five that came along with Wendy so only two were left. The remaining two will still pose a problem to them. "With what difficulty we've been having with them lately and how strong they are along with us fighting against the Empire, will Wendy be alright?"

"She'll be fine. Trust me, this is nothing compared what she went through before back in her world. I know this whole revolution, us fighting against the Empire is a big deal to us but to her, this is just something to add under her belt. Hell, half of the opponents she and her guild fought from before, I don't think some of us would have a chance. That's why I know she'll make it out okay in this." She wasn't wrong saying that but what Wendy was in was still very dangerous. Najenda declared they would remain in the cabin for a while longer before moving out with Leone carrying Wendy if she was still asleep.

The scene before the Fairy Tail members shifted to seeing all of the Night Raid members walking on a trail with Leone carrying Wendy on her back while the young dragon slayer was still sleeping. Wendy's closes eyes began to stir and opened them. "Leone?"

"Hey, you woke up. How are you feeling Wendy?"

"I feel fine for the most part. Still a little tired, though."

"Well, just rest a little longer. We're making our way to Kyoroch now so it's going to take a while."

"Okay then."

Chelsea walked up to the two girls and smiled at Wendy.

"Nice to see you awake again."

"Chelsea. You're okay."

"Yeah, I am. Why? Did you think something happened to me?"

"It was something like that. Like I had a feeling something bad was going to happen. I'm glad it was wrong."

"Well, don't worry. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon so you can relax while Leone is carrying you." Soon after that discussion, Wendy sensed it was going to rain and everyone trusted her judgement. Everyone decided to camp out for the rest of the day.

The scene shifted again and now it was showing Chelsea and Leone walking alone and were following a series of footsteps in the mud, signaling that it did rain earlier just as Wendy had predicted. "Hey Chelsea, if you don't mind, I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"Why did you lie?"

They both stopped and looked at each other. "What do you mean by that?"

"Look, we both know you couldn't have lost Kurome that easily. I saw right through you and maybe the others did as well. So again, I ask, why did you lie?"

Chelsea sighed and placed a hand to the side of her head. "To be honest and it was a stupid reason, it was because of the promise we made to Wendy. Lubb was right before. I was going to do something a lot more than I could handle. I was about to go after Kurome but then my head suddenly remembered that promise. I knew Wendy would become worried sick if I did anything stupid. So that's the reason why I came back. For her. Kinda stupid huh and because of that, I let Kurome get away."

It was then Leone put a hand on Chelsea's shoulder and gave her a serious look. "I don't think so. To me, I think you made the right choice. If something did happen to you, I'm pretty sure Wendy would be devastated. She already lost Sheele and Bulat. She doesn't need to lose you too."

After that heartfelt speech, both girls felt a rush of wind hit them and when it died down, they decided to follow it. Another rush of wind blew through and along with it, was a scream. Soon enough, they arrived at the location where they found Wendy. They observed what the young dragon slayer was doing. After seeing her for a few seconds, Wendy let out a powerful roar and her hair changed to pink momentarily before reverting into its original color. Carla recognized it and knew what Wendy was trying to do. Just as the young dragon slayer was about to fall, Leone was able to catch her. Chelsea wasn't far behind and didn't know what to think of what she saw. "Leone…was that…"

"It was. That was Wendy's Dragon Force." The whole scene faded away into black.

After seeing that, Lucy finally did get to know when and where Wendy was trying to obtain her Dragon Force. The scene came back and the Fairy Tail members saw themselves in a lively street but didn't recognize the surroundings. "What's this place?"

Leone chuckled a little. "Welcome to Kyoroch."

They saw Wendy with Leone and Chelsea again wearing tan cloaks and walking through the street. "Oh wow. This place is amazing."

"I'll say. Maybe we should pick up a few souvenirs for the trip."

"We're not here on a vacation Leone. We're here on a job."

While the scene was a little heartwarming, Gray did have a question for the three former assassins. "So where's the rest of your team? Are they in this Kyoroch place too?"

Akame decided to answer him. "We split up into different groups to recon the surroundings."

It was a good enough explanation for the ice mage. They continued to watch the scene before them. "Is it alright for Mine to be walking out in the open? I mean she does have a wanted poster."

"I wouldn't worry about that. The wanted posters really haven't reached out this far yet so no worries."

"Still, we have to be careful. The Jaegers may be posting them around."

They continued to walked around in the street with Wendy observing her surroundings. "It sure is busy around here."

"That's because of the underground resources they have and their religion. It pays pretty well but the way this is set up, the Minster ends up with all the money." The Fairy Tail members were liking this Minister less and less.

"This Minister. He's the absolute worst I've ever heard. These people have no what's being taken away from them."

"Everyone knows in the resistance about it but Borick keeps their hands tied."

"That's why it's our job to take him out."

That was the one of the aspects everyone in Fairy Tail can agree. If the Prime Minister were to continue with his ways, the outcome would become very bleak for the people. After a little more walking, Wendy asked how Leone became an assassin for Night Raid. The others were curious to know that. They saw the trope of Leone hugging Wendy into her breasts which made Lucy feel a little bad about the younger girl. "Ohh I'm so happy you asked me that! It's about time too." She finally managed to let go of the young dragon slayer. "Well, if you want to know then I'll tell you. I just beat up some bastards I didn't like and I got recruited."

Her explanation was a lot more simple than Lucy thought. "Wait, that's how you joined in the first place?"

Leone just shrugged at the other blonde. "Pretty much."

Wendy said the same and asked her next question. "But then how did you obtain Lionel?"

Gray was very interested to hear the story behind that since he figured that belt Leone wore was important. "I bargained with a guy from the black market into giving it to me which just so happens to be an Imperial Arms." Again, the explanation was simple which was surprising for everyone to hear.

"But how? Doesn't that seem a little too good for you?"

"No one else could bond with it and transform. No else knew so it was a great find for me."

In all honestly, Leone's explanations so far has been a little underwhelming. Still, at least they knew how the blonde obtained her Imperial Arms in the first place and some pieces were coming together for Gray. "So Lionel, that belt you have, is how you're able to transform."

Leone grinned at his explanation. "You got that right. My Imperial Arms Animal King: Lionel. As you can guess, it's similar to your world's Take Over magic and I also can guess you don't need me to explain what it can do." That much is true and it did answer Lucy's question of how she was able to transform back at the Avatar base despite being cuffed with magic seal restraints.

Wendy asked her next question to the older girl. "So why did you become an assassin?"

Once again, the members of Fairy Tail would like to know but given her answers so far, it'll probably be the same. "Well, I worked at a massage parlor in the slums ever since I was a kid from before. But then when I saw these noble assholes trampling kids with their horses for fun. It really pissed me off so I killed them. After that, I was scouted." So the reason was a little more detailed but not by that much. Still, it does show Leone didn't like those who picked on the less fortunate. That and Erza did like the fact learning about Leone could do massages. "I didn't stop there, of course. I really liked taking out those kinds of evil bastards. That includes the Prime Minister. He loves using his political power in any way he wants so he's the perfect prey. If I ever get the chance, I'll kill him in a way that everything he's done will look like child's play. All of that just so people can be happy again."

Chelsea giggled at Leone's explanation. "Wow Leone. That was a lot more then what your report said. I didn't expect that kind of thing from you."

"How did you end up in all of this Chelsea?"

Hearing that question made Lisanna very interested for some reason. Chelsea began to explain her origin story starting from having an average childhood to working under a viceroy. Her plan was to marry into the rich life so she wouldn't have to worry about working. Except that plan didn't go as she expected since the viceroy she worked for was a monster. He took bribes and killed innocent people for the sport of it. She explained how she found Gaea Foundation and was able to kill the viceroy. Because of what Chelsea did, a new viceroy took the previous one's place and looked after the people better. That's when a thought occurred to me. I did something good for the world. "That disgusting feeling I had from before was gone. I thought to myself I could use this power to change the world for the better. After that, I decided to join the assassination squad of the Revolutionary Army." She sighed after explaining everything. "And that's it."

After hearing all that, Lisanna had a better understanding of what kind of a person Chelsea is. Wendy said the same about the other girl. "Wow, Chelsea. I never knew you had that kind of past. I'm…glad you're with us now."

"Oh, it's nothing really. Let's just continue our mission. We need to map out the city as much as possible. Although we should stay away from the area around the church. That's where Esdeath and the Jaegers are patrolling."

"Do you think Lubbock will be alright over there?"

"Eh, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Lubb's pretty tough himself. Besides, he really wanted to go there so there's no stopping him. Let's just continue doing what we're supposed to do."

"Right. Let's continue onward." The scene faded away into darkness.

After that small scene, everyone learned a little more about Chelsea. She may have started out with the wrong reason to live her life but she did discover a new purpose. It was quite admirable to them. The setting came back for them to see and what they saw was everyone in Night Raid gathered in a room where Wendy was using her healing magic on Lubbock. "These wounds are pretty serious. I'm surprised you're still able to move Lubbock."

"Well, it just goes to show you how freaking powerful the Rakshasa Demons are."

Gray raised an eyebrow at the name Lubbock spoke. "Rakshasa Demons?"

"Who are these…Raksasa Demons?"

"The Rakshasa Demons are the Prime Minister's private executioners." Lucy gulped at the description. Mostly because when she, Natsu and the others who were with her at the time first met the Garou Knights. "I admit I didn't expect we would face them so soon. In any case, we managed to rid three of them in a single night. That's less of what we have to deal when the revolution comes."

"And really, they're called demons? We fought against real demons so they were no big deal."

"Careful Lubb. Keep talking like that and maybe you'll be the one to die next"

"Come on Chelsea. Don't kid around like that."

"Despite our win, the Jaegers know we're here. No doubt they'll start to increase security around the cathedral. We'll have to extra careful from here on out."

Wendy managed to finish her healing. "There we go. You should start feeling better now."

Lubbock stood up from his chair and felt the difference. "Hey, thanks Wendy. It would've taken weeks, maybe a few months to recover on my own. You're a real lifesaver you know that?"

"Oh, it's no problem. I'm just helping out that's all."

"So what's our plan now?"

"Since the Jaegers know about our presence now, moving about will be more difficult. Still, we continue the mission no matter how difficult it may become. In fact, the harder it is, the more rewarding it'll be when it's finished." And the scene quickly faded away.

After hearing these Rakshasa Demons, Erza wanted to know a little more about them and turned to Akame. "Can you tell us more about what these…Rakshasa Demons are?"

Akame didn't see the harm in explaining. "As Najenda said, the Four Rakshasa Demons serve as the Prime Minister's personal executioners. Despite their name, they're not like the demons of Tartaros. They're extremely powerful and skilled warriors from the Imperial Fist Temple. What makes them dangers is to manipulate their bodies in a number of ways."

"What kind of ways?" Natsu asked.

Akame tried to recalled their abilities. "From what I can remember, stretch out their limbs, bending and twisting their bodies, and from what Lubbock told us, a member he fought used sweat that weighed down his wires." Lucy thought that last part was disgusting. "If anything, they're more well known to kill those who possess Imperial Arms even though they do not possess any themselves."

Gray had a question about that. "If they didn't use Imperial Arms, then how are they able to do that kind of stuff?"

Akame remembered what she heard about her fight with one of the four Rakshasa Demons. "They drank a special kind of soup from a lake near the Imperial Fist Temple. That's how they gained their abilities."

None of them wanted to try that kind of soup. The setting came back and this time it was just Chelsea and Wendy walking together in the street. Their conversation started with how Tatsumi and Mine were acting strange with other. It didn't take long for Chelsea to ask her question. "Now I have a question for you. It's about what you did last month. Why did you keep the whole Dragon Force training a secret from the rest of us?"

Lucy caught the small detail Chelsea said. "Wait, last month?"

Chelsea decided to explain that. "At that time, we've been in Kyoroch for a month. For Wendy, she's been with us for three months now."

It was hard to believe Wendy was in the world for three months already. That meant they were halfway through seeing what the young dragon slayer had to go through. Everyone turned their attention back to the conversation. "Well, I didn't want to bother anyone with it. I thought the best time to train for it was in the middle of the night. I'm sorry if I made all of you worry but with the recent fights everyone had, I have to attain Dragon Force as soon as possible. If I do have it, I'm sure I'll be more useful to the group." She and everyone heard Chelsea laugh for some reason. "What's so funny?"

"You do plenty enough for us as is. Lubb would still be recovering from his last fight if you haven't healed him as you did. And remember what Su said to you? You shouldn't rush to achieve great power for it will come to you when you need it the most."

That was actually good advice coming from Susanoo but Wendy still had her doubts. "I understand that but the question now is when will I need it the most? We still have a long fight ahead of us."

"True but there's still plenty of time between now and what's up ahead. Just don't stress about it too much."

The members of Fairy Tail then saw the two sit down for lunch with Natsu drooling at their food and the two girls began to eat. They were making some small talk before they were interrupted by a voice speaking to them. "Why, hello there."

Everyone saw a man with some bodyguards approaching them. Natsu raised an eyebrow at him. "Who's this weirdo?"

Chelsea was more than happy to exasperate who he was. "What! You're the Great Lord from the Path of Peace!?"

Erza recognized the title. He was mentioned during the meeting they had seen earlier. "Indeed I am and you two are travelers are you not?"

"Yes, we are, but we do have others with us for the time being. Still, it's quite a surprise meeting you in a place like this."

"Well, perhaps this was meant to be."

It didn't take long for him to join with the two girls for their lunch. "I can't believe I'm actually meeting you. It's kinda of a big honor. You're the one who first found the Path of Peace right?"

"Why yes, of course. Ever since I was born I had the power to heal people's injuries and have prophetic dreams. The more I healed and prophesized, the more people gathered around me and claimed me as a miracle man. It was those same people that created the Path of Peace and for what it is now."

Apparently, he was a bigger deal then everyone thought. "Excuse me, sir. I hope this isn't too disrespectful but I was wondering if you could sense anything with your powers. For example, maybe darkness?"

They heard the Lord laugh at her question heartily. "There is no such thing as a human without darkness. It's true I can sense it from some of the leaders. However, when you're in charge of such a large organization, one tends to make difficult decisions. While I was alone, I could save those who are right but now we have come this far thanks to those who made this organization possible. I choose to believe in them."

Erza narrowed her eyes at his explanation. "He has the right intentions but what we've heard so far, he's trusting the wrong people. People who want him out of the picture. I can see the importance of why they want to rid of this Borick person as soon as possible."

"By the way, if I may say something." They saw the Founder turning his attention to Wendy. "It's about you, my young child. I have met many people throughout my life but you are definitely a special case." He placed a hand on top of Wendy's head while closing his eyes. "I see. It's hard to say but I can tell you are from a very far place and that you are separated from someone important to you."

Everyone in Fairy Tail was surprised he could tell that much from Wendy. "You can say something like that."

"I can also tell that you long to be with this person once again and are finding a way back." He removed his hand and opened his eyes while smiling at the young dragon slayer. "Well, this is quite special indeed. Although not exactly a prophecy, I can tell you this. The person who you long for to see again is working very hard to reunite the two of you once again."

They saw Wendy's face lit up when she heard that. Carla made note of what Founder said. "So it was during this time when Wendy knew what Chelia was trying to do."

Not long after that, everyone packed up their lunches and were ready to head back. It was an honor meeting you, sir."

"Do not think of this as a meeting. It felt more like we were fated to encounter each other. I do hope the two of you will be well on your journey."

"We will and again, thank you." The setting faded away into black.

Just as it went away, the setting came back but this time with all of Night Raid and Wendy sitting at a table. Chances are, they were in another meeting. "And that's all they said."

"I see. In that case, we will now launch the plan onto the Path of Peace headquarters on the day of the celebration."

"So we're going out with a bang huh?"

"Yes. Since the tunnel is now complete, we'll sneak into the church and execute Borick. The guards will too busy staying on guard with such a large crowd gathering. "Yes. Since the tunnel is now complete, we'll sneak into the church and execute Borick. The guards will too busy staying on guard with such a large crowd gathering." It was the beginning and it hasn't started yet. The atmosphere changed when Susanoo came out bringing different plates of food. Each one was a favorite dish for each member. Natsu really wanted to know how Susanoo's cooking tasted like. Him and Erza, of course.

It didn't take for everyone to dine out viciously on their food. What was most impressive was how fast Akame could scarf down an entire plate of large steaks. Lucy could hardly believe what she saw. "And I thought Natsu had an appetite. She just wolfed down that many steaks in seconds."

The scene shifted to over where Wendy was sitting across from Najenda in another room. "You know Wendy; you really don't need to involve yourself in the mission this time. All of us are capable of doing it."

"I know but…I still want to go."

"I see. Even though you know Esdeath will be in the same building and the possibility of encountering her again?"

"Of course."

Well, I'm glad you're gung ho about it but are you absolutely sure? Esdeath will be a far more formidable opponent than the last time you fought her."

"I am. This just isn't your fight. It's mine as well. I just can't sit back idly while everyone else is risking their lives. I would rather fight with them just like I always have back with my guild." Hearing that made Erza a little proud that Wendy still wants to fight alongside her comrades but at the same time, she was worried that someone like Esdeath could be so near.

"Very well then. Obviously, I can't stop you once your mind is made up but know this. If by the off chance that you do end up fighting Esdeath, do not hesitate even for a second. She will take any opportunity she finds. I don't really know how powerful the opponents you faced before back in your world but I encourage you not to hold back. The question is will you be able to kill her? Out of all of us, you're the only one whose hands are clean of blood. If you would fight Esdeath again, would you be capable of killing her?" It was a very heavy question to ask of Wendy and from how she acted by the mention of Esdeath, she was able to do so but was this the moment Wendy did kill Esdeath? "This isn't something you have to worry about right now. However, she is an extremely dangerous induvial and has to be killed. So long as she breathes, we'll never know peace when the new era begins."

Everyone in Fairy Tail understood the importance of how much a threat Esdeath truly is based on what Najenda had explained to the young dragon slayer. "How strong is Esdeath anyway?"

That was a good question. With everything they've heard of Esdeath, they don't know how powerful she is. "We would need fifty thousand elite soldiers and at least ten Imperial Arm users including Akame."

Lucy found that hard to believe. "She's that powerful!?"

It even took Erza a few seconds to comprehend what she heard. "I never knew she would be that powerful. Fifty thousand and ten of the Imperial Arms. I've never heard such a thing before."

"S-She's that strong?"

"Esdeath and Great General Budo are on a completely different scale of strength. I hate to tell you this Wendy but the only reason you won was because Esdeath was unaware of your abilities from before. It was the same person who did this to me. "In any case, I'm still here and I will end this despair. For that to happen, we need to take Borick out of the picture. Do you understand?"

"Yes, ma'am. I'll do anything I can to help out and…I'll give everything I have next time I see Esdeath."

"Now that's the kind of attitude I like to hear from my subordinates."

"Yes and as I've said before, until I find a way back to my world, I won't die."

After that, the scene shifted with Wendy tagging along with Leone and Susanoo sneaking into the back of a large cathedral. It seemed there was no one around. "Man they really thinned out the security here. Guess they couldn't spare any more."

"Are you sure this'll work?"

"Don't worry about it. This'll be a piece of cake. The boss knows what she's doing. Now we just need our girl from the inside." They approached a door and it opened to reveal a soldier but it turned out to be Chelsea in disguise. She let them inside and transformed back into a soldier. Once inside, the three members ran until they arrived at the main hall of the building where there were people attending. Susanoo was the first to start and killed the guards who were stationed. This created a panic and the people fled the cathedral in terror. It didn't take long for two familiar faces to attack him but were intercepted by Leone. "Well, looks like the puppets came out to play."

"How right you are." They saw Kurome approaching them. "How bold of you to take up the front lines. However, it's pointless since Borick isn't here. If you want to get to him, you'll have to get through me first. Now Natala! Doya!" They two corpses jumped to attack but were blown away by Wendy's attack. Kurome wasn't all too happy to see her. "You again."

"Hello again Kurome."

"As much as I like this little reunion of ours…" She drew out her sword.

"I don't have any time to waste on the likes of you. Now tell me where my sister is!"

"Oh, so you want to know where Akame is do you? Well, you're not going to know since I'll kill you myself!" Leone lunged at her enemy with all the killing intent she had. "Time to say goodnight little girl!"

However, something crashed in-between her and Kurome and Leone jumped back. "That's enough." The dust cleared to reveal Wave. "I won't let you hurt any of my allies. How about you try fighting me instead!?"

Leone wasn't the least bit intimidated by him. "Back for more huh? You want Su to send your ass flying again?"

Wave ignored her and turned his attention to Wendy. "I would say it's nice to see you again Wendy but given our situation, I don't think that would be the right choice of words."

Wendy shared the same feeling as him. "Wave…"

"There's something I want to know Wendy. Why is it that you decided to join Night Raid? Why didn't you tell us who you are in the first place? I'm sure all of us could've understood."

"She doesn't need to answer to you!"

"That's alright Leone. Night Raid took me in when I had nowhere else to go so for that I'm indebted to them. I couldn't tell you who I really was because you were the enemy. There was no telling what Esdeath could do if she learned about my magic. Lost magic in my world could be dangerous if used in the wrong hands. I refuse to use my magic for such things."

"Doesn't it bother you the fact that you're with murderers? Any blood on their hands is on yours as well. They're the same ones who killed Bols! Don't you feel any regret knowing that?!"

"Of course, I do. Mr. Bols was nice but I have come to terms of what happens in this world. It's not like my own where we can get along. The Empire is Night Raid's enemy which means they're my enemy as well. That also means you're my enemy too Wave."

Hearing that prove to everyone in Fairy Tail she had accepted the ways the world she in works. It also showed how much Wendy had grown in the time she has been in the world. Carla could certainly see that.

"I see. So that's what you think. Fine then. Child or not, I won't hold back against the enemy who tries to harm my comrades!" His words echoed strongly through the all the members of Fairy Tail. They saw Wave draw out his sword and stab the floor with it. "Grand Chariot!" Everyone saw him transform into armor similar to what Tatsumi wore which interested Erza greatly. Wave wasted no time in attacking Leone and demonstrated how powerful he was. His next attack was aimed at Wendy but Leone pushed her out of the way so she took the attack instead. "I'll start with you first." His focus went primarily towards Leone and attacked her again while she was still down. "This'll finish it."

"Sky Dragon's Roar!" Wendy's attack made Wave jump back before he could deliver another attack at Leone. Wendy attacked Wave again and was sent away from Leone. It was then everyone saw a rare sight from Wendy. Seeing the young dragon slayer angry. "That's enough. I won't stand for this anymore and I won't let the same thing happen again. I was devastated when we lost Sheele and felt hopeless when I wasn't there to do anything for Bulat. So now I have had enough. As long as I'm here…!" The wind blew out fiercely from her. "I won't lose anyone else important to me again!" Kurome sent her corpse puppets at Wendy but she easily blew them away out of the building. She used her enchantment spells on herself. "I'm the one you'll be fighting against Wave!"

Wendy's fight against Wave started. They traded blow for blow and it was impressive Wave could match up with Wendy's enchantments. As the battle continued, Wendy started to have the upper hand in the fight. However, time was a factor. "I'm glad you're holding your own against this guy but can you hurry it up?! Esdeath might show up at any time now!"

That's right. There was still the chance Esdeath could show up and change the situation drastically which would very disadvantageous for the Night Raid members and Wendy. The young dragon slayer had no choice but to use her Ice Sky Dragon Mode to end the battle quickly as possible. She jumped into the air and attacked Wave. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S STRIKING SPEAR!" The attack created massive destruction all around the area and dust kicked up everywhere. When it settled, Wave was lying face down on the ground before Wendy.

It seemed the battle was won as Wendy walked back to Leone and Susanoo. There was still the problem about the mission but Leone reassured the younger girl that it'll still go as planned. "We're not…done yet."

Everyone was surprised Wave could still stand after taking an attack like Wendy's. "How's he still conscious after being hit by an attack like Wendy's?!" Lucy asked.

"Why? You've already lost Wave so why continue to fight?"

"Just so long as I draw breath, I won't surrender. It's a soldier's duty to follow orders no matter what."

"You're not a target of interest but if you continue like this, we will kill you."

"Then that's your only choice if you want to stop me."

Left with no other choice, Susanoo rushed to where Wave was to end him. However, he was intercepted. "Venom Stinger! Five Point Piercer!" Susanoo was hit five times and was sent away from Wave.

Erza and everyone saw who it was when she landed next to Wave. "The fourth Tartaros demon."

"Syka? What are you doing here?"

"Well, I heard the commotion that was going on so I decided to see what was happening. I thought it was you who was the cause of all of this." Her attention turned to Wendy. "So we meet again Fairy Tail. And the others must be this Night Raid I've heard so much about. The ones who caused so much pain to us." To think they would come face to face with another member of Tartaros so soon. In some ways, this seemed worse than Esdeath arriving. "I would suggest you leave now. You'll only be in the way."

"What do you mean? You're not part of the Jaegers so why are you concerned with me?"

"While it is true I may not care for you or the others in your group except for Seryu, you're still important to her so I'm doing this for her sake. Besides, you don't look like you're in any condition to fight. Leave now."

Hearing that struck to Erza as a little strange. "Why would she care about one of them?"

"Fine then. Just promise that-" And Syka knocked Wave out before he could finish his sentence. It was somehow unexpected for someone like a Tartaros demon to do. "W-What the hell?! I thought you were on the same side?"

"Please. As if we would join forces with a bunch of humans. It was always for our own benefit. We don't consider them important to us. Only a means of use to the end. Well, most of them anyway. Seryu is a special case for me." Erza was still wondering about that. "Night Raid and Fairy Tail. Two groups who have caused so much damage to us both here and back in Earthland. Both of you are my enemies and Night Raid is an enemy of Seryu. For the honor of my guild and for Seryu, I WILL AVENGE MY FALLEN COMRADES!" The floor cracked underneath her due to her rising power.

"Oh really? We already took out three of you. What can you do?"

"Instead of telling you, why don't I show you?" Syka's body began to shift and change into something larger. Something more monstrous. When her transformation was complete, it was like she had become something totally different. She easily stood over Wendy and the two Night Raid members. "Etherious Form! Demon Scorpion!"She let out a monstrous bellow.

Even if it was a memory, Erza could sense how dangerous Syka had become. "What a terrifying transformation."

"Y-You got to be kidding me. Talk about a drastic change in appearance."

"We may be in trouble."

"We have to escape. Now!"

"Leone, take Wendy and get out of here. I'll buy you some time."

"But Mr. Su-"

"Got it Su." Leone grabbed Wendy and was carrying her bridal style. "Come on Wendy. let's get outta here." The two bolted out of the building with Susanoo alone with the demon. It wasn't long until they heard a crash behind them. Even less when Syka was quickly chasing after them through the streets. "Damn that thing doesn't know when to give up."

"We have to do something."

"I am doing something! It's called running for our lives!"

"I mean something else than that. We have to fight her sooner or later."

"Seriously?! I know that but here in the middle of town?"

"No, outside of the city. That way we won't have to worry about any unnecessary casualties and anything else bothering us."

It was the best plan they have at this time. Syka jumped into the air and tried to attack where both Wendy and Leone were. Leone jumped out of the of the attack and it destroyed everything around the area. The chase continued until they found themselves at the outskirts of the city. It was obvious their mission went off the rails but Leone saw the upside to this. The only drawback was to deal with Syka. Leone stopped and put Wendy down. All that was left was to wait for Syka's arrival. "Listen to me, Leone. I have something to ask you. Will you…help me fight against her?" It was first time everyone heard of Wendy asking for help. "I know I'm the one responsible for bringing Tartaros here in your world and I tried to handle it on my own but what Mine said to me before was true. This just isn't my fight alone. It's all of ours and that means I don't have to face them alone. So again, I ask, will you help me?"

Leone smiled at the younger girl. "Well, I say it's about damn time you asked." Not a moment too soon, Syka's shadow over them and landed in front of the two girls. "Let's take this demon bitch down together! "Let's kick this demon bitch's ass to the curb, Wendy!"

"Right. I'll help you in any way I can."

Syka was the first to attack but both girls jumped back to avoid the attack. Wendy used her enchantment spells on her and Leone. They worked in tandem against the demon and it seemed to work. They then delivered a combo attack of their own on the demon. "Roaring Lion's Sky Dragon Assault!"

Natsu was impressed by what they did. "That looks so cool!"

However, the combo attack wasn't enough and Syka stood up. "An impressive endeavor. I suppose this is what happens when a dragon slayer and an Imperial Arms user can achieve when working together. However, you will need something far more powerful if you want to stop me for good!"She resumed her attacks on the two girls. Syka managed to grab Leone with her tail but Leone proved to be strong enough to break free from the demon. Wendy struck Syka not too long after.

They continued to attack the demon tighter but the fight proved to be tougher than they thought. "Damn it. What's going to take to bring this demon bitch down?"

"I may have an idea."

Wendy shared the details to Leone. "Wait, are you sure about that Wendy?"

"I am."

"All right then but we better hurry up. I'm pretty sure your enhancement spells are going to wear off soon."

"I think so too. We have to make this count."

Syka resumed her attacks. Leone and Wendy continued to attack the demon with any chance they saw while avoiding Syka's attacks. It was then they did a similar maneuver Leone did with Akame back then. Wendy attacked Syka with her Sky Dragon's Soar Charge and both crashed into the ground. The young dragon slayer then jumped high into the air. This time Leone ran to where Wendy was and jumped over to her. She went a little higher than Wendy and the young dragon slayer grabbed her by the legs and threw her down right at the demon with another combination attack. "Raging Lion's Sky Dragon Impact!"

Erza was impressed by the teamwork both of them displayed in this fight. After Leone jumped off the demon, Syka screamed out of frustration and stood up. "I will not be made a fool of by some humans! I am a demon created by Zeref himself. I will eliminate any who stands in my way!"She created an attack over her head and the sphere was double the size of her. "This will be the end for the both of you! Venomageddon!"

Syka slammed the attack to the ground and it traveled to where Wendy and Leone were. Wendy acted quickly with her counterattack. "DRAGON SLAYER'S SECRET ART! SHATTERING LIGHT: SKY DRILL!" Her attack overcame Syka's and struck the demon herself. It was obvious from seeing in her current state that Wendy's attack did a massive amount of damage to her.

The fight wasn't over yet as Leone grabbed the demon by the tail and started to spin Syka around before throwing her up into the air. "Enjoy your trip to the moon!" Wendy started to run where Leone was and she understood what she had to do next. "Finish this now Wendy!"

Leone gave Wendy a strong lift into the air and Wendy closed in on the demon. "CHANGE MODE: ICE SKY DRAGON!" She hadn't had a moment less to lose to finish the fight once and for all. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!"

Her attack completely enveloped the demon and screamed. "NO! THIS CAN'T BE…HAPPENING!"

After the attack subsided, Wendy reverted into her normal form and fell back down. Leone managed to catch her in time. "Gotcha!" She took a closer look at the younger girl. "Wendy, are you okay?"

Wendy made a few small sounds before answering the older girl. "I'm…okay, Leone."

"That's good to know. I'm glad you're alright." They suddenly heard a crash near them and saw that it was Syka not moving from her position. "I guess I can't say the same for her." Leone set Wendy down who was able enough to stand and walked over to the defeated demon. She soon stood over Syka. "Got any last words?" Silence was her answer and Leone raised her claw. "As an act of kindness from me, I'll make it quick for you." Leone quickly crushed Syka's head. The sight proved to be a little gruesome for some of the Fairy Tail members. Leone

retracted her claw and stared at the demon for a few seconds.

"Leone?"

The blonde turned to the younger girl who was walking toward her. Wendy tripped and started to fall but Leone was able to catch her again. "I gotcha."

"Do you…think Tatsumi and the others are alright?"

"I'm sure they're fine. Probably wrapping up the mission by now." She picked up Wendy again bridal style and walked to the edge of the cliff overlooking the city. "The city looks like a wreck."

"I hope…everything will be okay after this."

"Yeah. Everything will be fine. Don't worry about it."

There was silence between the two for a few seconds before Wendy spoke up again.

"Hey, Leone…"

"What is it?"

Wendy smiled at the older girl. "Thank you for helping me." The scene went black. Everyone felt like they could breathe better after seeing two intense battles Wendy was in. Chelsea and Akame had heard what the fights were like but seeing them with their own eyes was whole different experience.

The scene came back with Wendy overlooking the city alone. "There you are."

Wendy turned around to see Chelsea. "Chelsea."

"What are you doing out here?"

"I'm just…having one last look. Funny as it is to me, I'm going to miss this place."

"I know what you mean. Then again we have been in this city for over a month so it's natural. Come on. The others are waiting for us along with that horse carriage."

Wendy, along with Natsu both felt a little ill upon hearing that. "H-Horse carriage?"

"Yeah, horse carriage. Why, is something the matter?"

"No no, it's alright. Shall we uh…go now?"

The scene shifted to Wendy traveling with the rest of Night Raid riding in the horse carriage. And Natsu already felt like he was going to lose his lunch. "I don't feel so good."

Lucy thought she would be used to this by now but somehow, Natsu always found a new way to surprise her and not in a good way. "You're getting motion sickness from seeing a memory?!" Gajeel was the same and tried to hold it back. Even Laxus was struggling with his motion sickness.

"Are you going to be okay Wendy?"

"I will be when…we stop."

Leone offered her lap so Wendy can lay her head on it. She gladly took up the offer. They had a small conversation of how did Wendy obtain motion sickness in the first place and the only explanation she had was that she just had it one day. She also explained that Natsu and the other dragon slayers have motion sickness as well as they were demonstrating now. Susanoo offered to make some remedies for Wendy's motion sickness but had to wait until they arrive back at their base. The conversation changed with Najenda talking about their mission. "Thanks to that whole spectacle back in Kyoroch, we'll be retreating back to the base by a longer route from the south. There's no telling how long it'll take once we come back."

"It'll take that long?"

"We can't go back the way we arrived. There'll be no doubt that Esdeath and the rest of the Jaegers, as well as other Imperial soldiers looking for us along that route. It's for the best if we want to avoid capture."

"So I doubt we'll be taking the carriage all the way huh."

"We'll only be using it for the early part of our journey. We'll be walking the rest of the way. Still, we succeeded in our mission. There isn't much left for us to do at this point for the time being. With Borick out the picture, the Revolutionary Army will soon make their move. It is the first step toward a better future for everyone." The scene shifted again (much to the dragon slayer's relief) and now everyone in Night Raid was sitting around at a large camp fire at night. It seemed to be a celebration. "First off, I would like to congratulate all of you for a job well done. With Borick out of the way, we are one step closer to overthrowing the Empire. Once we rid of the evil and corruption plaguing this nation, we will usher in a new age." Najenda raised her glass. "To the Revolution!"

"To the Revolution!"

Everyone dined in their food and had a relatively good time celebrating their success. The celebration went for quite a while until everyone turned in. Almost everyone as Wendy was still awake looking at the stream alone. "Can't sleep?"

Leone approached Wendy from behind and joined the younger girl. "Kinda. It's just that I can't believe so much has happened on this journey and we're just getting started. I can't help but wonder what's going to be in store for us later on."

"Who knows but whatever it is, we'll be able to tackle it head on together."

It was a heartwarming scene to see for everyone. It was little moments like this one that were probably the most endearing Wendy kept close to her. Speaking of the young dragon slayer, she seemed to be a little nervous about something. "Um…Leone…"

"What is it now?"

"C-Can you look away for just a second?"

Leone did just that but still did understand what Wendy wanted to do. "Just why do you need me to look aw-" She stopped talking as Wendy gave the older girl a kiss on her cheek. It only lasted a few seconds before Wendy broke the kiss and moved away from Leone who was still a little surprised. "Wendy?"

"Consider that…a gift for helping me last night. I…couldn't have done it without you."

Leone's response was bringing Wendy in for a hug. It wasn't like any of the other hugs where she shoved the younger girl into her breasts. It was a loving, caring hug. "We'll always be here for you Wendy. I'll be here for you as long as you need me to be." Wendy's response to Leone's words were returning Leone's hug. Then the whole scene went to black which was a little strange. Leone let out a slight sigh of relief. "Thank you Wendy for not showing that one extra bit between us."

It seemed to be the end of another part of what Wendy had to go through. Lucy felt very glad Wendy was able to survive this far in the world she was in. "So everything will be better for everyone sooner or later, right?"

"Oh, how wrong you are."

They looked over to Chelsea who had her arms crossed with her eyes closed. "And what do you mean by that?" Gray asked.

Chelsea huffed at the ice mage and opened her eyes to look at the Fairy Tail members. "I admit everything did smooth out in the end for us when we succeeded in our mission. But…you have no idea what Wendy had to go through next. What you're about to see next is where Wendy truly experienced hell." With that grim foreboding, everyone turned their attention to the next scene in Wendy's memories.

A/N: FINALLY, IT'S DONE! Just halfway done and then I can start moving on in this story. Now if you excuse me, I have an extremely powerful urge to update my other stories and create a few so it'll be a while for the next update on this but that's what happens when I work on a godforsaken chapter like this. So until then…I'll you all in the next chapter or in the next story I create.
