Chapter 21: Game in Edolas

When Wendy opened the door she saw a room which she assumed was the throne room due to the throne and the king of Edolas standing in centre in front of a table "welcome child would you like to play a game with me" he then signed for her to walk over to him which she did "I'm sure you know the situation of our world and how you can help, so I have proposition a simple game between the two of us with some stakes" he said "what are the stakes" she asked "if you lose the game I want you to stay here in Edolas, granted you would stay in luxury in the place for the rest of your days free to do as you please but considering your desire to stay with your friends if you win we will give you and your friends a way to get home, if the game ends in a draw we will still give you away home on the terms that you come back to this world for a week every ten years thus you get to go home and the magic of Edolas remains as such either way the band on magic will lift" he stated "and what about my friends" she asked "the safety of your friends is granted they will be returned home no matter the outcome or stay for a while if they like we have an amusement park in the castle" he said "whoa, so what's the game you wanted" she said "well first of all I would like you play a shadow game meaning that we both have to follow the terms of the agreement" to this Wendy nodded "the game we will play a simple game of rock paper scissors and I will only play paper" Wendy looked confused at this "let's say I beat you with rock or scissors the game ends in a tie okay" Wendy nodded and then as both them began the game.

As the two began the dark game Wendy thought about the mental aspect of the game 'I don't want to stay here so given the rules mean that if I play paper I can't lose, alright then paper' as the both said "rock, paper, scissors" wound up the battles outcome was decided "paper" "rock" the dark game then ended

Wendy being the victor of the game the king held up his end of the bargain "you have won and so here" he handed her a small device "that will allow you to travel between Earthland and Edolas child, if you ever want to come back feel free you will always be welcome in Edolas, now as for your friends I'll have a guard take you to them" with that said, once Wendy had left Mystogan said "why'd you make the game that easy" at this the king said (does this guy have a name at all, like seriously, oh as for the whole writing him being nicer thing I wrote him more like Makarov than how he was canonically) "I had to from what you've said she can supply this world with unlimited magic power, so whether or not she comes here again depends on how this world treats her, plus when you were talking about the girl it's clear that you hold her close to your heart" Mystogan just stared at him "you get along well I wonder what have you been up to with her" "father" Mystogan said shocked and he just started laughing "cheer up, this is the first time I've seen you in years let a father have his fun with his son, besides I may not be far off calling her daughter in lawwwww" he stopped when he noticed Mystogan killer glare.

(Meanwhile)

Carla and Happy were having a discussion with the queen of the exceeds and her attendants "you see we sent a generation our children to earth land after the queen received a premonition of the future of Edolas" the queen then said "yes I saw Edolas destruction islands destroyed the kingdom in chaos both human and exceed dead or dying and a girl with black hair standing over it all with a smile on her face, that's why I sent the exceed children to Earthland" at this Carla was shocked "did you say a girl with black hair" happy asked "yes a young girl with black hair and red eyes laying waste to this kingdom" 'Wendy' both Carla and happy thought, the queen then continued "so when you return to Earthland be careful" after Happy and Carla left to reunite with the others asked "your majesty why didn't you tell Carla she is your daughter" the queen then sighed "I will once we have located the other exceeds we sent to Earthland perhaps we should set up a camp in Earthland to find our people".

Back with Wendy she had made her way down to dungeon to release her friends when she got Lucy and Natsu out, the three were surprised by another three that entered the dungeon, "no way what are you three doing here" Natsu said "Gajeel got us out of the Lacrima in the plaza, and Erza suggested we bust you guys out, but is there something we don't know, cause I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't be out yet" Grey said but was then answered by another figure behind him "I ask for forgiveness in this matter it's just the situation has changed, for now though the king has thought of a nice apology gift to compensate" the figure was Erza Knightwalker to this Natsu asked "what sort of gift" she smiled at this "quite simply it's a fight between you and the 4 generals of Edolas for a bit of fun" after these words were said the members of team Natsu plus Gajeel all looked pumped about the prospect of a fight, it was at that point that fairy tail's Erza approached her counterpart and then "if that's the case then I would like to see how I measure up to myself" Knightwalker then nodded and said "I too would like to see that" before both proceeded to walk out, Lucy was about to follow when she noted Natsu, Grey and Wendy covering behind her "guys why are you doing that" she said "two Erza's Lucy I'm not going anywhere near that" Natsu said "yeah that's even worse than Wendy in full on vampire" Grey said "normally I'd be upset but Erza kinda scares me too" Wendy said with this Lucy pointed out "guys won't they be more mad if we keep them waiting" and as Lucy finished her sentence the three of them were gone, running to catch up.
