3rd Pov:

After leaving the castle they all discussed what they should do first, get gear or train in the fields. "Honestly I think we should go ahead and get the gear first and train elsewhere. There is no need to show off our abilities where others can see." suggested Lucy. Laxus, Cobra, Gajeel and Freed agreed while Wendy just nodded her head along. With everyone in agreement they walked to Erhards shop for gear as they didn't want to solely rely on their magic in the event that it did not work as effectively in this world.

Once they arrived at Erhards shop they introduced themselves and got to looking around. Lucy, Wendy and Carla walked towards the wall that had bows for them to look over as an alternative weapon. Cobra, Gajeel and Lily moved towards the swords as their weapon choice. Laxus moved towards some staffs that had huge blades attached to them. Naofumi stopped in front of other shields wondering if he could copy or even use them in any way since no other weapon could be touched by him.

Lucy left Wendy and Carla at the bows since she had Sagittarius's bow and didn't want to offend him in any way. While passing by Laxus she noticed twin blue blades. The blades themselves almost looked like they were made of a hardened crystal of some sort. Reaching her hand out to touch the hilt of one; she felt a sort of resonance inside her when she grasped the hilt and knew she found her weapons.

Wendy selected a golden and blue bow that made its own arrows.

Lily selected a red bladed sword.

Gajeel chose a large sword.

Cobra selected a sword that when he touched changed from a shiny metallic blade to a purple blade that reflected his poison inside.

Carla ended up with two daggers, one with a blue blade the other with a red blade. Both used fire with high attack stats and ice with high defensive stats.

Freed's sword let out a dark swirl from the hilt of his blade when he grabbed it. It paired well with his magic.

Laxus went to grab a sword that interested him because he could feel static surrounding it. When Erhard spoke, "I wouldn't touch that sword. Every single person who has tried to hold it or gotten to close has been shocked within an inch of their lives. That sword is a magic sword very powerful but very temperamental." Laxus just smirked at him and picked up the sword. Lightening arced out of both himself and the sword sending out an electric pulse towards everyone. Gajeel twitched when the lightning raced up and down his piercings until it stopped. Carla and Lily both got shocked and their fur puffed up. Naofumi blocked the lightning with his shield, behind him were Wendy and Lucy. Cobra and Freed were shocked, Freed's hair rose up from the shock while Cobra tried to ground himself against most of the lightning. When the pulse and lightning died down Laxus stood there with the blade of the sword against his shoulder and a smirk.

Everyone glared at him, "what it just needed to be shown who was boss." he said with a shrug.

Naofumi just shook his head and went back to looking over a shield that caught his interest. It was a long shield as he touched it, his shield transformed into an exact replica of the long shield. He stood there shocked for a moment before an excited grin took over his face. He went to reach for another shield, one looking like it was made from the very stars themselves when a hand smacked his. "Brother, don't you think you should ask before copying someone's hard work? You don't even know how much these shields or weapons we have chosen cost. We currently have limited funds and until we get more perhaps we should get only what is needed and then when we have more money we can buy or copy shields to your heart's content." Scolded Lucy.

"He can copy that shield if he wants, it is about to be decommissioned anyways. It is supposed to give off a dark camouflage magic shield but no one has ever been able to make it appear." Said Erhard.

Naofumi didn't even hesitate before he copied the shield and walked towards Erhard to pay for their chosen weapons.

Once everything was paid for and promising Erhard to come again if they were in the area they left the shop. They were walking towards the city gates when they were stopped by a short and weirdly dressed man asking if they needed any slaves. " My name is Beloukas, I am a slave trader merchant. I have lots of varying products if you would like to have a look." He said with a grin. Cobra gave the man a glare while looking into soul to see he had a hidden agenda. As per the Queen's orders I must get him to choose the demi human, perhaps they will help to quell his rage.

Naofumi just shrugged his shoulders and followed the merchant to see what other things he had. He had no interest in slaves. As they all entered his tent they saw a bunch of cages with beasts in them. One cage had a blanket half covering it. The slave trader showed them all different beasts in cages before NAofumi said no to them all. Passing by the half covered cage they heard a feminine cough, Naofumi lifted the blanket a bit more and saw a small slaved demi human. Something about this small girl pulled at him. Her scent drew him, "How much for her?" he asked in somewhat of a daze. "She is all but half dead, if you are truly set on her I'll give you a discount, 30 silvers." Naofumi agreed and the slave trader removed her from the cage and handed Naofumi a knife.

"Why are you handing me a knife?"

"It's for her slave crest, this way she will never lie to you and always follow your orders." Lucy looked at her brother after the slave traders remark. She knew they couldn't really trust anyone here but she wasn't comfortable with having the small girl marked as a slave. "Broth-" "I'll have the crest used for now, when she is older I'll remove it" Naofumi interrupted. He sliced his thumb and let a few drops fall into the plate he was given. The slave trader circled her slave crest on her chest. They all saw how it flared purple and gave off small purple sparks before she whimpered in pain. "Why is it hurting her?!" Cobra yelled out. "It's part of the process and will be over momentarily. Beloukas answered. The light died down until it disappeared completely. Wendy stood next to the girl while Naofumi gave the man 31 silvers and stated the extra was a commission.

They all left the tent taking the girl with them to Erhards where Naofumi got her clothes and a small sword for a total of 6 silvers. Afterwards they left Erhards shop again and entered a restaurant for food. Everyone one was whispering and pointing at Naofumi in disgust. "Looks like your name was only cleared in the castle but no one told the people." said Lucy with a sigh. "The king isn't going to clear his name, he wants Naofumi to suffer just because he is the shield hero. He wants him to suffer and since he can't erase everyone's mind and doesn't want to kill the nobles only the people and now other heros have all been brainwashed to believe that Naofumi is a rapist." Cobra responded with a grunt.

"Other heroes? Did he erase their memory of you outing his lies?" inquired Naofumi. Cobra just nodded in response. "Regardless, if we want to fight these waves then we are going to need funds and to train. After we eat, let's head into the forest to train." Laxus said with a sigh.

"On that subject brother why did you buy a slave?" asked Lucy after a glance at the small girl who was eating and talking with Wendy.

"He couldn't help it, Bunny, she is his mate. His dragon instincts called to her for protection and the crest will ensure she will not lie to him nor disobey him until she is mature enough to handle herself and be mated with him." grunted out Gajeel. "That's great news brother you found your mate! I am so happy for you!" Squealed Lucy as she hugged her brother, not noticing the looks she was getting from everyone in the establishment or the heated looks sent to her from other men. "Sit down Blondie and finish your food so we can leave." Growled Laxus as he glared at any and all men that were still looking at Lucy.

After eating they left into the forest to train and see if their magic could hurt these monsters. While there were only weak balloon animals near the capitol forest they learned their magic was much stronger in this world and they had to hold back as to not cause too much damage to the surrounding area. During this time they traveled to a village called Lute to trade in the fur of animal hides and other creatures they had taken out. In the village they learned of some ore they could mine that would give them better pay. By this time they had all learned the slave girls name was Raphtalia and Wendy's healing was too advanced for this world. They would have to keep that ability a secret lest anyone with wrong intentions come and kidnap her.

Naofumi took to adding part of the kills to his shield and had level up to level 40 due to his team's exp points and his own dragon slayer abilities that he mostly hid as a trump card. While mining for ore the now 15 year old Raphtalia reacted to a two headed dog that looked similar to the monster that killed her parents. Everyone but Naofumi and Cobra went to intervene but were told not to as she needed to face this trauma to be able to move past it and not let it haunt her anymore. After she killed the two headed dog and Naofumi was healed from its bite they mined a few more ores and left. After turning in the ore and getting a significant profit due to how much they brought back they left back to the capital to get food.

While enjoying the now Buffet of food in front of them Naofumi took Raphtalia's small flag from her meal and drew the Fairy Tail symbol on it causing everyone to smile.

Everyone was in the field relaxing while Raphtaila who was now 18 chased what looked like a porcupine monster. "We need better armor brother. It seems we have all outgrown ours and our weapons need to be either remade or upgraded." Said Lucy after she sat down next to her brother. "Shield prison." murmured Naofumi when the monster came close enough. Raphtalia was quickly there to kill it as Naofumi released the monster. "Yeah I was just thinking we needed to get better equipment and armor. Let's go to Erhards shop and see what he has." He said as he looked over at his teammates to see their swords looking a bit dull and clothes looking a bit worse for wear. "Cobra, Laxus, Wendy, Carla and I can take care of the clothing while you and the others go to get the weapons fixed up. Our weapons are fine and not dulled down unlike Freeds, Gajeel, Lilys and Raphtalias. Their weapons need to be fixed up and you need armor, not just the simple cloth you have been wearing." said Lucy once they reached the capitol gates. They split into two groups, one going to get some clothes and the others towards Erhards shop agreeing to meet there once done.

Lucy and her group walked around clothing shops to find either cloth or clothes that would replace their already worn ones. After finding some bolts of fabric that were given to Virgo to make new clothes they also looked for traveling boots that would be comfortable for everyone during their journey.

When all the purchases were made they left to meet everyone at Erhards shop. They arrived to hear Erhard telling Naofumi about the dragon hourglass inside the church that would let them track when the next wave would hit. Naofumi's group already had their armor and now clothing that Virgo gave them. Lucy said she would meet them at the church once they were all dressed and had their armor in place. Before they split up again she gave the others their new shoes to put on and they separated again.

After Virgo gave them the new clothing they took turns dressing in the dressing room and helped each other put on their armor then left to join Naofumi at the church.

Lucy and her group arrived in time for her to hear someone say, "is that Naofumi?" She could see her brother's blank face when he turned but his eyes were showing his anger. He just walked past the dumb spear guy when the bitchy princess opened her mouth, "Hey Sir Motoyatsu is talking to you Naofumi!" She then smirked as Naofumi stopped walking. The other heroes just stared at Naofumi with distrust and disgust on their faces. Having had enough Lucy walked forward, she stopped at her brother's side and turned to the princess, "Really was someone calling out to my brother? I couldn't hear anything but air blowing by. Also you-" Lucy stepped forward getting into the fakes face, "you do not get to speak to my brother at all, lest not forget we know the truth and you do not know what we are capable of." Lucy's power rose and swirled around her in a golden glow. Naofumi placed his hand on his twin's shoulder, "She isn't worth it sis and she will get hers soon enough." Lucy glared back at the princess once more, not stopping until she took a step back and shook in fear. "Fine brother, let's go. I believe we have what we came here for anyways. We needn't bother with trash." They all turned towards the doors and left hearing the princess screech in anger and being called trash.

Later that night a confused Raphtalia asked about the rumors going around about Naofumi and was promptly told the truth, that they were all lies spread by the king and princess.

In the morning they all gathered in the square waiting to be transported to the wave. They all heard Raphtalia swear to be by Naofumi's side forever and smiled knowing she accepted the mating. After the battle Lucy knew her brother would be removing her slave crest as she was now of age and mature enough to be safe and not be swayed by idiots who only seek to ruin her brothers good name.

As the timer Ran down they were transported atop a cliff, looking up at the sky they saw colored waves filling it. Naofumi looked down to see the other heroes running towards something and made to follow them when Raphtalia stopped him and pointed at a village. " Naofumi isn't that-" "it's Lute village, is it even evacuated?" He said aloud only to see a flare go off letting them know there were people still in the village. "Let's go guys, we need to help those people in the village." Naofumi shouted before taking off towards it. Everyone followed after him. When they arrived they could see monsters attacking everyone. "Wendy, Carla, Freed and Raphtalia get the villagers evacuated, the rest of us will help destroy these monsters." yelled Lucy as she blocked a sword strike from a zombie towards a villager. Gajeel sliced the head off of it. "Wendy, do not heal anyone with your powers yet until the wave is gone, use the potions Naofumi taught you to make." Yelled out Laxus as he, Cobra and Naofumi ran towards the monsters. Naofumi worked on getting all the monsters fathered towards the town center so it made dealing with them easier while Lucy, Cobra and Lily picked off the stragglers. Once all the monsters were in the town center he set the tower alight and jumped down using his sister's borrowed whip to pull himself to safety.

Most of the monsters were taken out by the burning tower but not all. Laxus was using his lightning to take out several at once, Cobra using his dragon claws and sword on others. Gajeel took out a big undead that was creeping up behind Lucy. Lily and Naofumi were shielding each other and attacking the insects that were trying to swarm them and the others. They had a system down in place trading and praying attacks allowing their respective partners to attack while they switched from blocking and attacking. "The numbers aren't diminishing." said Naofumi as they all stood back to back and took a moment to breathe. Suddenly fire started shooting up at the sky, "look out!" he shouted and threw up a shield prison around everyone. Through the cracks of the prison they could see the fire raining down on all the monsters taking them out.

Raphtalia arrived to see the aftermath, filled with anger that the knights didn't care that Naofumi and her newfound family were there; she attacked the lead knight only to have her sword stopped by another knight. "Did you launch that attack knowing Naofumi was still in the village?!" She yelled in her anger.

"Raphtalia don't just ignore them, let them be killed by the zombies." Naofumi said as he blocked a sword from one about to kill the head knight. Naofumi and Raphtalia proceeded to kill the small leftover party of monsters, while the majority of the knights left to join the other heroes. The sky then changed from it's dark wave filled form to a sky filled with clouds showing it was late afternoon. The wave had ended. Everyone else took care of the remaining monsters while Wendy went around helping the more severely injured villagers.

After being thanked by the villagers for their help Naofumi and his teammates left back to the capitol. They made a stop at the slave traders tent to have Raphtalias slave crest removed and went to the inn to have showers and change clothes from their fight before finally getting some much needed sleep.
