The red haired man grimaced as the masses of unintelligible and idiotic voices assailed his ears.
"Here's your coffee sir" the waitress laid the cup down before him, he grunted dismissively but he gave her a tip to prevent any complaints. He sipped his coffee and didn't even flinch when he heard the mans' neck break, the two strolled out of the shop shortly after, the man scoffed and dialled his Scroll.
"Yes?" A seductive female voice answered.
"Did you send your two little lackeys to deal with our…animal problem?"
"No."
"Well they took care of it anyway, keep your dogs leashed Cinder."
"I will, remember you are only a consultant Cobra" she said his name venomously.
"If you were competent I wouldn't need to be one" he hung up before she could respond and sipped his coffee. He liked it but honestly, given the reports, he couldn't understand how Beacon's headmaster and that one Professor/Doctor could drink so much of this stuff without their hearts exploding.

Lucy sighed as some of Natsu's partially chewed food landed near her plate, wishing her teammate wasn't so messy when she heard the dreaded words shouted across the cafeteria.
"FOOD FIGHT!"
It happened quickly. Food was thrown. Students fled for their own safety. Nora declared herself Queen of the castle and Ruby demanded justice, but that did not matter for they were to receive only vengeance. Ruby found herself suddenly flung backwards as the result of a vicious strike.
"You dare speak of justice" Erza growled angrily "when you are responsible for the destruction of a poor, innocent strawberry cake" she raised her head to glare at team RWBY "YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSION!" The poor first year team shook with fear.
At the same time team JNPR was facing a similar problem but in the shape of a demonic wall of fire.
"You dare call yourself a Queen" Natsu glared at Nora "when all this delicious, wonderful food lays wasted" flames burst from Natsu with an even greater intensity "YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR TRANSGRESSION!" The first year team rapidly rearranged their tables into a small fort in the vain hopes of saving themselves.
"Gray. Bunker. Now." Lucy ordered succinctly.
Gray made a bunker out of pure ice and when they entered it a settled down he closed off the entrance.
"Those poor kids" Lucy sighed.
"And it was going so well for you and Weiss" Gray said with faux-melancholy. Lucy over-theatrically hid her eyes with a hand and fake cried. After a few moments she and Gray started chuckling.
"…You do you think everyone back home is okay?" Gray asked suddenly.
"Of course, they are Fairy Tail wizards" she then smirked "you missing Juvia already?" She teased him.
"Do I miss the creepy stalker/fangirl?…..nope."
"You really don't care about her?"
"Of course I do she's a part of Fairy Tail, she's family…I don't like her like so likes me…but if I told her it'd break her heart" he sighed "and I really don't want to do that."
"Wow, I didn't know you could be that sweet."
"What what makes you think that?!" Gray asked, offended.
"You spend nearly all your time stripping and fighting with Natsu" she responded in a deadpan manner.
"Touché."
They just chuckled again and waited for the carnage to abate.

Ruby kept going over the plan in her head as they waited for the combat class to end. She was however able to cheer for her sister beating a transfer student.
"Miss Xiao Long is the victor" Ms Goodwitch announced "Mister Dragneel you have been requested for a fight."
"SWEET!" Natsu leapt down into the arena, already wearing his gear "who am I fighting?" He asked excitedly.
"A transfer student from Atlas" Goodwitch told him "Mister Dragneel vs…"
Natsu's opponent walked into the arena and team LEGN's eyes widened.
"…Mister Redfox."
"GAJEEL!" Natsu exclaimed in surprise.
Gajeel stood wearing an armoured grey vest with a black fur collar and belt cape, dark green military cargo pants and black combat boots. In addition to his studs he had round steel coloured scales in similar areas to Natsu. His hair was significantly shorter but still just as wild and restrain be He also had thick metal bracers on his arms.
"Gihihi" Gajeel chuckled in his unique way "ready to lose Salamander?" He taunted.
"Bring it scrapheap!" Natsu replied with a huge smile on his face.
"Wait…that's THE Gajeel?" Weiss asked Lucy "your teammate?"
"Yeah!" Lucy replied with a huge grin "If he's here…everyone else might be okay" she finished quietly and Weiss gave her hand a comforting squeeze.
"Begin!"
Natsu blasted forward and tried to headbutt Gajeel in the stomach. Gajeel flicked his wrist and plates from his bracers snapped in front of his fists, he then delivered a downward punch to Natsu's spine and his hydraulic gauntlet sent the pinkette into the floor. Natsu quickly countered by punching both of Gajeel's legs out from under him, he then balled up and rolled, with a blast of extreme force he straightened, blasting of the ground with his fists and delivered a double heel kick to Gajeel's midsection and sent him flying towards the ceilings.
Gajeel recovered and flipped midair, his feet alighted on the ceiling, the fist plates on his gauntlets glowed as he activated the Gravity Dust within them and he thrust them into the ceilings as he kicked off. After rocketing downwards Gajeel flipped again and cratered the ground where Natsu's head was moments before. Natsu grinned as he dodged backwards, with another shotgun blast he flew forward and delivered a spinning kick with his right leg to Gajeel's left side, Gajeel hit the offending limb with a jab from his right hand followed by a haymaker with his left hand. Natsu guarded but was flung away, as he flipped though the air he pushed off the ground at the same time as he fired his boots, instantly righting himself and forcing Gajeel to dodge the shot. Both Natsu and Gajeel settled into their combat stances as the entire class, even professor Goodwitch, stared with wide eyes.
"Holy shit" Yang mumbled weakly.
"Indeed" Blake responded quietly.
"All that…" Ruby muttered "…and it isn't even a minute into the match."
With a burst of flame Natsu had closed the distance between them in his demonic semblance form and swung his claws at his fellow dragon slayer when Gajeel smirked.
"Shooby do bop" a powerful sonic pulse knocked Natsu back and forced him to cover his ears.
"Oh please no" team LEGN groaned in unison.
Natsu looked up to see Gajeel holding an electric guitar he had pulled from…somewhere…and he had an evil smile on his face. Natsu clamped his hands down on his ears even harder as Gajeel unleashed a savage, pulsing riff that started to push him backwards towards the wall.
"Huh" Gray uttered thoughtfully "he's a lot better than last time I heard him play."
"Yes" Erza agreed "and he's using his new semblance well."
Natsu's grimace turned into a smile before he shot upwards then down at Gajeel. Gajeel sent another blast at Natsu but he powered through it and swiped at him with his claws, Gajeel's eyes widened when he saw twin fires raging around Natsu's ears.
'He set his ears alight so the fire would consume the air around them thus stopping the sound from reaching them' Professor Goodwitch thought to herself 'incredible.'
Gajeel scowled and hit a button on his guitar and the strings were incased in plating, one side of the body split open and a blade emerged while an array of small rocket boosters extended from the other side, Gajeel's scowl switched to a smirk as he uppercut Natsu's chest with his axe. Natsu was flung back but he quickly started flying in rapid circles around Gajeel who switched back to his guitar and sent sonic bursts at Natsu to try and knock him out of the air, Natsu dodged and dived at Gajeel forcing him to switch back to his axe and swing it upwards at him, Natsu dodged to the side. Gajeel smirked and let go of his axe and unleashed a gravity blast punch near Natsu's ear, blowing away the flames, he then grabbed the Salamander's head and brought it close so his mouth was at Natsu's ear.
"SHOOBY DO BOP!" He shouted out in another sonic blast.
Natsu knew only pain for a second before he passed out.
—
Natsu woke up slowly in the infirmary and took note of his surroundings. He saw two doctors taking care of him, a male and a female.
"You're a moron" Natsu looked to the voice and saw the same doctor as last time.
"Hi Greg!" Natsu said happily.
The other two doctors seemed shocked at someone so happy to see their senior doctor…again.
Greg rolled his eyes "Your ear has healed up so go on and get out of here."
Natsu did just that but as he left he said "Thanks Greg!"
All was silent for several moments after he left.
"'Thanks Greg'?"
"Quiet you."
—
Natsu didn't have to go far before the rest of his team and team RWBY found him.
"Natsu are you okay?!" Ruby asked frantically.
Natsu chuckled "I'm fine Ruby" he said as he patted his friend on the head.
"NATSU!" Cried out two more voices.
Team LEGN looked around and saw the familiar shapes of Lisanna Strauss an Wendy Marvel rushing over to them.
"Lisanna! Wendy!" Natsu greeted them happily.
"Natsu!" Wendy called out "are you oka-" she seemed to trip over nothing and fly into Ruby. The two tumbled to the ground in a heap. Wendy when to apologise but she realised her face was barely an inch from the other girls. They both seemed to freeze as they stared into each others eyes in that moment.
"Having fun down there you two?" Came Yang's teasing voice.
Wendy and Ruby's brains restarted and they leapt apart and stood, blushing furiously.
Lisanna smiled "Awww" which prompted bigger blushes from the two younger girls.
"My darling Gray!"
Gray looked up and saw a familiar blue blur headed for and he braced…by shoving Yang in front of him.
Juvia was confused. Why did her darling Gray's chest feel so squishy? That wasn't right.
"You mind getting your face out of boobs please" Juvia heard an unknown female voice.
Juvia bolted upright and saw a blonde girl with purple eyes. Behind her Gray was smiling. Did he want to see Juvia with another woman? Juvia began to fantasise and blush, steam pouring out of her ears.
"How'd it feel to get your ass kicked Salamander?" Gajeel taunted as he walked up to them.
"I'm sure you remember from when you were in Phantom Lord" Natsu countered with a smirk.
Gajeel chuckled "Touché Salamander."
"So you guys made it here too somehow" Lucy said as she smiled at the two dragon slayers banter.
"Obviously" Gajeel snarked "and I am leader of team RLMS (Realms)."
"That name's fitting" Gray said dryly "…why does Lisanna have cat ears now?"
"Side effect of Magic and Aura apparently" Lisanna replied "like how Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy have scales now."
The assembled mages looked at Wendy, who blushed slightly from all the attention, and they all saw soft, white, oval scales in the same places as Natsu and Gajeel.
"So when did Gajeel learn how to actually sing and play?" Lucy asked, getting a scowl from the resident iron eater.
"When he discovered his Semblance everyone who heard him forced him to learn" Juvia said as she suppressed a giggle.
Gajeel grumbled under his breath so Gray took pity on him.
"At least now we can hear any songs you come up with, you're a pretty good song writer."
"Tch, whatever" Gajeel blew it off and looked away but everyone saw the smile he tried to hide.
"So how have you guys been?"
And with that they all started catching up.
—
"So what're you naming it?"
"Her."
"What're you naming her?"
"I don't know yet."
"How about Zerry?"
"…Tai…you are truly awful at naming children."
"You wound me Zeref."
"Please don't tempt me."
Tai let out a mock gasp.
"I'll call her Arcadia."
"That's nice…why'd you make her again?"
"My brother will need help combating my other creations."
"He'll have to wait a few years."
"She'll develop far faster than a human child" Zeref gently picked up the baby demon "…plus I'm lonely but have no idea how to look after children."
"You could ask me for tips."
"The day I ask you to infest my child with your cursed puns is the day the world ends."
"…'Your child' huh?"
"…I…"
"Good for you buddy."
"Thank you."
