Happy Holidays, everyone. It took me a while to get the rest of the chapter done, but I've done it. A lot was done for bringing up the background of characters, but I think I did it well. And trust me, it'll be a doozy.
Levy: This will basically be your version of the Key to the Starry Heaven arc, right.
Yup. Or as I rather call it, the Rewrite the World arc. You'll see why soon.
First I want to thank all the people who favorited, followed and reviewed the last two chapters. I wish I can list you, but it is a long list.
Anyway, it's time we get started. I'll leave the disclaimer to Levy, for this chapter is quite important to her.
Levy: What do you have planned?
Who, me?
Levy: You're up to something.
Well, nothing too extreme.
Levy: Alright then. DigiXBot does not own Fairy Tail.
Rewrite the World: The Approaching Enemy
"... I am aware of their strength. They held such a reputation seven years ago. So we will come to them at our strongest. After all," he let out a faint smile. "It would be a good welcome for Fairy Tail, especially for our fellow letter mages."
At this, his body broke apart into numerous green runes, everything from his feet to his cloak.
A cloak that contained a blue dragon symbol…
Five Days Later, Fairy Tail Guild
It was another beautiful day at the Fairy Tail guild. Especially compared with the last seven years, now that the Tenrou Team has returned after so long. Right now it was a normal day with Kinana manning the bar, Vijeeter dancing, the Nebula Knights gathering, and Warren working on his small inventions.
"Can't believe it!" Gajeel shouted as he saw the mission board. "There's barely any good ones here!"
"Or at least any that would support our needs," Levy added sadly from next to him.
"Tell me about it," Nab commented from next to the board. "Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale send what extras they got but it's still not enough."
"Not like you do any," Gajeel grunted.
"Really? Is it that hard to believe I'm only waiting for the right job?"
"Yes." Most of the guild replied immediately, causing him to grumble.
"It seems like a few of us already found some." Levy pointed out.
"Not exactly," Kinana replied as she came over. "Only Mira, Lisanna, Elfman, Kagura, and Carla went on a job today, while Natsu and Happy went on a different one. Master took Macao, Erza, and Wakaba to the town hall so he can talk to the mayor about getting the old hall back. Lucy headed somewhere she didn't disclose about, and Lyon and Merudy already left days ago for Isvan."
"That's a few days journey," Levy said. "What could be so important?"
"No idea." Kinana shrugged. "I heard Lyon planned to go alone, but Mira convinced Merudy to go with him."
"Really, that's interesting to hear."
"There's gotta be something we can do," Gajeel grumbled. "What do think, Lily? Lily?" The Dragon Slayer turned to his Exceed partner…
And saw that the nearly two-centuries-old warrior was now trapped in the adorable embrace of Asuka Connell.
"A little help…" Lily choked out as the little girl continue to snuggle into him.
Levy struggled to hold back laughter at the sight. However, Gajeel had no such restraint.
"Ghi hi hi hi!" Gajeel let out, "How did you get yourself captured like that?"
"...don't ask." Lily sighed as Asuka held him closer.
"Asuka, there you are," Bisca said as she and Alzack came over. The two parents expression both relief and worry when they spotted their daughter.
"Asuka you should at least wait for us," Alzack said.
"But I wanted to hug Lily-jii," the girl protested, a pout on her face.
"L-lily-jii?" The Exceed stuttered out.
"Asuka, you can't people do what they don't want to do," Bisca explained sternly but gently. "Lily doesn't look comfortable, does he?"
The girl looked at Lily, whose frown was more prominent than ever. "No," she said sadly as she let go. "Sorry, Lily-jii."
"I-it's okay, Asuka. Though, why are you calling me… Lily-jii?"
"Cause you're older than grandpa, so that makes you a grandpa too!"
A depressed cloud covered the Exceed thanks to her statement. "Sorry, Lily," Alzack said sheepishly as he and Bisca rubbed the back of her head. "I mentioned how old you were when explaining you to Asuka. She understood you were older than master and-"
"No problem with that," Lily muttered. "Clearly an innocent presumption. Nothing harmful…"
"So any jobs recently?" Levy asked Bisca, hoping to change the mood.
"Just a few clean up jobs nearby," the sniper answered. "Safe enough to bring Asuka anyway. It went faster than reading 'The Priestess of Celtia-'"
"Did you say the 'Priestess of Celtia?'" Levy interrupted with an upbeat tone in her voice.
"Yeah, you're a fan?" Bisca asked with a grin.
"It was my favorite book when I was a little girl," she kneeled down to Asuka. "Is it your favorite too?"
"Yup!" the little girl nodded. "I always ask mommy to read it."
"I can practically recite it from the heart," Bisca boasted
"What's the big deal about this Priestess stuff?" Gajeel asked.
"It's an extremely popular kids book in Fiore," Alzack said. "Didn't you hear any stories when you were a kid?"
"Keh," he scoffed. "Metalicana wasn't some nurturing type. All that matter to him was my training."
"Oh, I see," Alzack said sheepishly
"Mommy, can you read us the Priestess story?" Asuka asked.
"Right now?" she asked.
"Please," to her surprise both Asuka and Levy were begging. When she looked at Levy the letter mage flushed.
"Um, I kinda want to hear it again."
"Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt," Bisca said with an amused grin, before sitting down at the table and pulling a small book from her requip space while Asuka and Levy sat nearby.
"All this fuss over a book," Gajeel muttered, before seeing that Lily was also sitting. "You too?"
"I never had the chance to learn about children stories in Earthland," he explained. "It might be interesting to listen to."
Gajeel groaned and sat down next to him. "Fine, I don't got anything better to do."
"Glad to hear that, Gajeel," Bisca teased, to which Gajeel grumbled. "Anyway, let's begin." She opened the book to the first page and spoke. "A long time ago…"
"A long time ago, the dangerous Yakuma clan declared war against the free nations. They summoned their 18 war gods to attack innocent villages and cities. Many people lost their homes, their safety, and even their families. The lords and rulers were forced to submit to these would be tyrants.
"But one brave girl rose up to challenge these evil-doers. She was Lady Relbeo, a fair priestess of the ancient gods from the land of Celtia. Relbeo knew that only a mighty power could stop the war gods
"So she traveled across the land and found six kings, six benevolent rulers of men. To each, she explained how together they can save everyone from the Yakuma.
"The kings were first hesitant. How is it possible to defeat the Yakuma clan? No such power exists that could defeat their gods. But Relbeo assured them that by combining their heart, they could win.
"So Relbeo and the six kings meet on the midsummer's day, the day that the Yakuma clan demanded their tributes from the people. Relbeo said an ancient chant:
"'By the power of steel and fire, unite the hearts of seven, and bring forth a new guardian.'
"A bright light filled the land, and in their place stood the mighty goddess Brigid. She was a fearsome warrior of old, and she fought against the Yakuma's war gods with all her might, defeating them one by one.
"Eventually, she dueled the strongest of the Yakuma gods, Ikusa-Tsunagi. The battle lasted for several days before she bested him, sending him back to the world of gods. The Yakuma clansmen were captured and sealed away. Brigid vanished, and the priestess and the six kings returned.
"Relbeo the Priestess vanished to the mist, while the six kings continued to rule fairly. But the people knew that if grave danger came to the world, the seven will come together and bring back Brigid."
"And that's that," Bisca said, closing the book shut.
"Brigid is super strong, isn't she?" Asuka said, awe in the toddler's voice.
"She sure is," Levy nodded.
"Heh," Gajeel shrugged, an interested gleam in his eyes. "Not bad. I see why you two like it."
"I'll say," Bickslow said while kneeling next to him, causing the others to look at him.
"Bickslow, when did you get here?" Lily asked.
"I was here the whole time."
"There is no way we couldn't have missed you," Levy said dryly.
"Maybe you did~"
"Did! Did! Did!" his dolls parroted.
Asuka only giggled. "Bick-nii is too funny!"
"And too strange," Alzack, pulling his daughter away from the crazy knight, who only laughed in response
A few tables away, Evergreen sighed as she saw her teammate trolling the others. "He never grows up, does he?" she said to Freed, who was at the same table reading a newspaper. "Freed."
"Sorry," the rune mage said as he brought down the paper. "What did you say?"
"Just said that Bickslow decided to listen in on a kids story. Something called 'The Priestess of Celtia.'"
"'The Priestess of Celtia?'" Freed mused. "What a dark coincidence."
Evergreen raised an eyebrow. "What are you even talking about?"
Freed showed her the newspaper. The front page had the title "Famous Children Writer Found Attacked. Letter Hunter Strikes Again."
"Is she-"
"The author of the story you just mentioned, Reyna Dahl," Freed finished. "She was found in her home under a magic-induced coma. She is only the 17th letter mage that has been attacked in the last few months."
"So someone is targeting letter mages now?" Evergreen asked. "What for?"
"I don't know the reason, but it isn't that simple. I did some research, and I found that all of these wizards have one thing in common. They were either colleagues or students of the Wizard Saint, Joseph Mcgarden."
Evergreen's eyes widened behind her glasses. "That was your old teacher."
"As well as a mentor to Gildarts and his granddaughter, Levy," he added bitterly. "Someone is targeting all of his legacies, and it won't be long till they come to Fairy Tail."
Meanwhile, on the Eastern border of Fiore, a train was running on tracks laid through a snow-covered forest. And inside, two wizards were sitting next to each other in awkward silence.
'Come on, Lyon, say something,' the ice mage thought to himself, as he stared back at Merudy, who was fiddling with her glove-covered hands. 'Anything at all. This could be your only chance to get closer with her. Why did Mira talk me into inviting her…'
'Just say something already,' Merudy reprimanded herself, closing herself into her red jacket. 'Lyon's your guildmate and friend, no need to be shy. You just couldn't leave him alone. Why did I let Mira talk me into following him…'
"So," Merudy spoke up. "Nice weather here, huh?"
'Nice weather, that's all you can come up with?!'
'This might be Merudy's first time to Isvan,' Lyon thought. 'I can work with that…'
"Yeah, Isvan might as well be always winter," Lyon said. "It can be worse than the rest of Iceberg."
"You grew up here, right?"
"Actually, I grew up closer to the border to Stella," he corrected. "But after that, I trained under Ur there."
"So what was life like before?" Merudy asked.
"It was just my mother and me, to be honest," Lyon said. "We lived by ourselves for a while after father passed…" a sad smile crossed his face.
Merudy frowned in concern. "If you don't want to talk about it…"
He smiled brighter to reassure her. "No, I'm fine. Anyway, we lived together until she started to get sick. During the fall, there was always this seasonal flu that struck the area our village was in. There was a good chance if you catch it'll be your last days. I was lucky to avoid it, but my mother wasn't.
"She lasted about two months before she passed. I was on my own, and that's when I learned of magic, of how it can save lives. I thought that if I can learn it, I wouldn't have to fear the flu anymore. And when I learned that the strongest wizard was Ur…"
"You sought her to teach you. You wanted to learn magic to be strong."
He nodded "And for me, that meant I wanted to surpass her. I thought that being the strongest wizard meant I would be safe from sickness," he let out a laugh. "I doubt ice make could have protected me. Anyway, after Ur… passed, I ended up meeting her old friend Gildarts, and he guided me to Fairy Tail.
"So, um," he coughed. "What about you, Merudy?"
"Nothing so noble," Merudy said. "You heard about hereditary magic."
"Yes," Lyon replied. "It's magic that will always be passed down from parent to child except for rare cases. Take-over and Celestial magic are some of them."
"Mine was as well, at least that what the doctors said," she gazed at her hands. "Maguilty Sense is a Lost Magic, like Natsu's dragon magic or Levy's angel magic. And yet because one of my ancestors had it, I was the first Keymon in generations to use it.
"Problem was, my family had no idea how to use it. I couldn't control it, and often I'll end up connecting people through sensory link by accident. They'll end up sharing pain and feelings, from a paper cut to a broken leg. I didn't know how to control it, and everytime I got scared it became worse. People despised me for it, called me a witch
"And I don't know if it was luck or he heard rumors, but Mas- Jose founded me," a bitter expression was on her face. "He promised I could control it. That I could get back at my tormentors by embracing my powers. That I couldn't be afraid if I suppressed my emotions. What a fool I was."
"You were a child, Merudy, not a fool," Lyon consoled. "You trusted him because you needed someone to trust. Nothing could change that."
"Well, you did," Merudy smiled at him, causing his heart to skip a beat. "You and Fairy Tail showed me another path, a path of companions and compassion. I can never thank you enough for that."
"I glad to hear that. I'm glad your with me- us! Yes, with us."
"Hey," both turned to the door of the cabin and saw Gray, Sherry, and Yuka outside. "You two done yet."
"Gray," Lyon said coldly. "I see my younger student has arrived. And he brought guests."
"So did you, Lyon," Gray replied as he sat down next to his fellow student, while Sherry and Yuka sat by Merudy's side.
"We came here to support Gray during the will reading," Yuka explained.
"The time of strained ~love between a mentor and her two students must be honored," Sherry added.
"Hey, is Chelia with you?" Merudy asked.
"No, she had to stay behind," Sherry answered, before sighing. "A shame, I wanted to introduce her to the homeland of myself and our grandfather."
"Some other time, Sherry," Gray said bluntly. He then leaned over to Lyon. "You probably suspect things too, right?"
"Yeah," Lyon replied. "Ur's will suddenly popping up years after her 'death.' It has to be a trap. Altough, it could be because of that recent war that it was found…"
"The whole Pergrande-Iceberg conflict was only in the last two years," Gray argued. "There's no reason to wait this long. That's why I had to bring backup, despite not wanting to"
"There's no need to endanger others," Lyon muttered as he gazed at Merudy, who was talking to Yuka about aether and magic practice.
"We don't have a choice now."
Unbeknownst to the party, they were overheard by a man wearing a cloak. He picked up a red runestone and spoke into it. "Just confirmed that Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Vastia are on their way, Ser. They are suspicious, but the children of Ur will aid us in our mission."
The door to the guild was pushed open, and everyone saw that the Strauss team had returned. Kinana smiled and went forward to greet them "Welcome back, every-" she paused as she looked at them.
Though they look fine, it was clear that their job did not go as planned. A deep frown was planted on Mira's face, while Elfman was muttering to himself. Both Lisanna and Kagura had awkward frowns on their their faces, and Carla had a haunted look in her eyes while dragging a black bodysuit with her.
"What the hell happen with you guys?" Gajeel questioned from a table, only to stiffen up when Mira turned to glare at him.
"Is everything alright, Mira?" Levy asked.
"I am going to the showers," Mira said, the frown not leaving her face. "I don't want to be interrupted at all." she then marched to the back of the hall.
"...what was that about?" Lily asked.
"We were guarding some gold being transported on the train when we ran into some… strange… bandits," Lisanna explained as she sat down next to Levy and the others…
Causing them to cover their noses. "What is that smell!"
"A side effect of that technique of their," Lisanna groaned as Kagura and Elfman joined her.
"What exactly was this technique?" Lily asked in shock as he placed both hands over his face.
"Fake sob stories!" Elfman shouted before his sister could answer, slamming his fist on the table and startling Kagura and Levy. "The leader of the Butt Jiggle Gang made up some sob story that pierces a man's heart."
"Elf-nii-san," Lisanna chided. "They're talking about the smell."
"Wait," Gajeel placed his free hand over his mouth to hold back a laugh. "You lost to some losers with that name."
"Don't go laughing at us, Gajeel!" Elfman yelled. "We did get the gold to our client, but he cut our pay cause it smelled from those scoundrel's farts."
"Their farts?" Levy gapped. "You guys smell because they farted on you."
"Yes," Lisanna groaned. "We got challenged by bandits wearing skin-tight black suits that fight using their farts. It's as weird as it sounds, and that's not going into-" she stopped when she saw Carla coming over with the suit.
"Is the Salamander here?" she asked.
"No, he isn't," Lily answered, concern in his voice. "Is everything alright?"
"Not at the moment," Carla replied, before turning to Levy. "Levy, I need you to burn this." She held up the black bodysuit
"Come again?"
"Hold on," Kagura's eyes widened. "Is that the bodysuit that the Butt Jiggle Gang gave me?"
They all ignored Gajeel's stifled laugh from the mention of that name.
"I need you to burn this from existence," Carla said to Levy, uninterrupted.
"Why do you want me to-"
"Just do it!" she shouted, her eyes widened with fear.
"Okay, okay. Solid Script: Fire!" she created a small word made of flames in her hand, into which Carla threw the bodysuit and watched as it burned away to smoke.
"Oh Great, now it smells like burnt rubber," Gajeel grumbled.
"It's finally gone," Carla smiled, but it was a weak smile. "The suit was destroyed, but the image is still there. The image of Kagura in that horrendous, skin-tight outfit. A suit that would grab the attention of those deviants…"
Kagura knelt down and rubbed her partner's back. "It's okay, Carla. I wouldn't have wore the suit if it would have bothered you."
"I can't really blame Carla for wanting to forget that disaster," Lisanna said
"Man," Cana groaned as she made her way down the streets of Magnolia. "Can't believe you talked me into house-sitting, old man."
The alcoholic card mage was currently heading over to her father's home. Gildarts was currently out completing 10 S-Class jobs, which for him would take a few days. So he left his daughter to watch over his place while he was gone.
"Well, at least I can rob his secret stash of booze while I'm here," she said as arrived at his home…
Only to gap as she saw the front door was lying on the street.
"The hell?!" she ran to the entrance and saw that Gildarts's home was a complete mess. The lone wooden chair was broken into two pieces. The mattress of his bed tore to shreds with springs stretched from their coil. She looked down and spotted a picture frame with a broken glass. Picking it up, she saw that it was Team Unbound, her father's old team.
And the cracks on the glass began over Joseph Mcgarden's face.
"What's going on?"
"Great," Lucy mumbled to herself as she looked at the schedule above the train station. The two boards showed that all trains towards Magnolia won't leave for another two hours. "Looks like I won't be heading home soon."
"Ahhh," a familiar voice groaned. "No trains for two hours." Lucy turned and saw Natsu and Happy standing (or in Happy's case flying) nearby.
"Natsu?"
The Salamander turned his head and beamed. "Yo, Lucy. Didn't know you're here too?"
"Hi, Lucy!" Happy waved.
Lucy smiled back. "Hey, guys. Just got back from a job?"
"It went too fast actually," Natsu grumbled. "Fairy Tail's been stuck with nothing but lousy jobs these days."
"They don't have a good reputation anymore Natsu," Happy said. "So people don't send some challenging jobs to them."
"I guess," he turned to the Celestial mage. "So, you went for a job too?"
Lucy shook her head. "I... was visiting my parents."
Natsu took notice of her delay. "Did you have a good talk?"
"Something like that, though it was a bit one sided…" she mumbled at the end.
"How long were they dead?" he asked. When she turned to him with a shocked expression he held up his hands. "Sorry, I assumed and-"
"And you're right," she said softly. "My mom died 14 years ago from magic deficiency disease. Dad died a year later from some odd disease he picked up."
'14 years ago?' Natsu thought. 'That's when Igneel disappeared. Never mind that.'
"Your dad just suddenly died?" Happy asked in surprised.
"The disease came three months prior, and, he got weaker," tears started to build up in her eyes. "I saw him less and less, and by the time I did… it was too late for him to get better…"
Happy froze as he dropped to the ground. "I'm sorry for us bringing this up, Lucy."
She whipped her tears and smiled at him. "It's okay, Happy. Anyway, dad contact Gildarts, one of mom's old friends, and asked him to take me to Fairy Tail. Dad probably wanted me to have a normal childhood. Well, a happy one at least."
"Wait, Gildarts? You mean that ace guy?"
"They were on a team together under Levy-chan's grandfather," she explained. "Along with Erza's mom, Lyon's teacher, and master's son."
"So why didn't he ask Levy's grandpa?" Happy asked. "He sounds like a more responsible person than Gildarts."
"You're not wrong," Lucy grinned, before knitting her eyebrows. "But for some reason, dad didn't trust him anymore. When I overheard him and Gildarts talking about him, he sounded really bitter for some reason."
"Well, at least you got a better deal than I did," Natsu said.
"Phantom Lord was that bad," she asked.
"Eh, it was alright, for a while," he said. "Jose only recruited me cause I was strong. The only person I even got along with was Merudy, and occasionally Boze and Sue. Everyone else was either cocky like Pinyin or a nutjob like Sol. But," he grinned. "Fairy Tail's a way better guild. Although it could be better if Gajeel and Lyon weren't such rude assholes"
Lucy laughed "Glad to hear that."
The three were unaware that a small party of four was watching them behind a newspaper stand. "There's our target, Layla Heartfilia's daughter but she's not alone."
"I read the files on that guy," another said. "He's the Salamander Natsu, former S-Class of Phantom Lord and a heavy hitter at Fairy Tail. Can our shielding even protect us from his senses."
"What's our plan, mum?"
Their leader, a young woman in her twenties, only made a series of gestures with her hand.
"Wait for the right moment to isolate," her subordinate repeated the translation. "Understood."
"Guys!" Everyone in the guild turned and saw Cana running with all her might towards the entrance. But right at the door she stumbled and fell forward.
"Cana!" Levy raced forward and caught the Card Mage before she could hit the floor. "What is it?"
"Gildarts place," she said between breathes. "it was ransacked!"
"What do you mean ransacked?" Lily asked.
"I mean that some asshole went through his place looking for something!" she yelled. "And they might be coming here," she reached into her sack and pulled out the picture frame. "Whoever they are, they got beef with your old man, Levy."
"What?" Levy gapped. "Who would-"
"We got in coming!" Max shouted. Everyone looked outside and saw that a small army of a few dozen men and women were arriving. All of them wore leather vest over tunic shirts. Further leather was tied around their wrists, and on their legs were silk pants and leather boots. Many of them held either swords or wooden staffs. In front of them were three individuals wearing cloaks over their back but different clothing. If the fairies could see the newcomers from behind, they would see markings on the back of the cloaks and the vest.
In the center was a medium height and stocky man wearing chainmail over a tunic shirt that clung to his thick muscles and a navy blue kilt that showed off hairy legs. His face was covered with a messy brown beard and shaggy hair on his head, while hazel eyes showed contempt for the wizards. His right arm ended with a metal hook.
To his right was a lithe woman whose head reach up to his shoulders. She wore a dress made of woven together leather pieces and tunic pants underneath with brown leather boots. On her hand were three bracelets each, each one with a bead decorated with a unique marking. Strands of dark blue hair reached her shoulders, and her eyes were as hazel as the rest.
The last man on the left was the strangest. Unlike the other man, he was tall and lanky, and wore what looked like a white straight jacket which covered up to his ankles and wrist. Brown sandals rested on his feet. His head was completely shaven, and his eyes and mouth remained hidden under a pair of metallic goggles and a metallic closed muzzle, which strangely looked like can open at the mouth and had a button on the left side.
"Alright," Warren said, swallowing his anxiety. "We got a small army outside. So, what now?"
"Are they from Twilight Ogre?" Lisanna asked. "Or some nearby guild?"
"Never seen them around these parts," Bisca said as she handed Asuka to Kinana.
"The best option we have is to figure what they want," Lily said.
"A small team should suffice," Freed said. And with that, the Nebula Knights, Gajeel, Levy, Lily, the two Strauss siblings, Kagura, Carla, Cana, Alzack, Bisca, Max, Laki, and Warren stepped outside.
"Identify yourselves immediately," Lily said sternly as he transformed into his battle form while the other fairies stood ready to fight.
The head woman blinked. "Did that cat just jab?"
"I think, sister Murray, that that be an Exceed," the straightjacket man said. "A race that suddenly appeared in this world 7 years ago."
"Save the exposition for later, Moreau," the stocky man said sternly.
"Sorry, Mercator," Moreau replied bitterly. "I thought it be best to keep up to date with the outside world."
"Are you the creeps that attacked Gildarts's place?" Cana asked, holding three glowing cards out in view.
"If you are speaking about Gildarts Clive, then yes, we did," Murray answered. "However, it was a biscuit to the bear for us."
"Biscuits? What does that even-"
"We came for two individuals," Mercator said. "Hand over Levy Mcgarden and Freed Justine to us, and we will be on our way."
The other fairies stiffened. "That's not a request we'll be following," Evergreen countered, placing a hand by her glasses.
"You just messed with the wrong guild," Elfman said, cracking on his fists. "What sort of men would hand over their comrades?"
"Unless they're blood related, I see no reason why you protect them," Moreau countered.
"Clearly you never messed with people like us," Alzack said with a scoff as he and his wife unlocked the safeties from their firearms.
Gajeel growled as he marched forward to the invaders' leader. "Who the hell are you?"
"Stay out of this, Strainseir," Mercator replied coldly.
"Not till you explain why you three smell like Shrimp!"
The other fairies gapped at his claim.
"They… smell like me?" Levy said under her breathe. "But that would mean…"
"You're saying that we smell like seafood?" Murray asked.
"I think he means we smell like Levy Mcgarden," Moreau corrected. "Dragon Slayers like him have a highly developed sense of smell."
"Then I might as well inform you," Mercator said. "We are Clan Garten, the nation devoted to research. And we are here to capture the legacies of Joseph Mcgarden, the traitor to our people."
I told you this chapter would be a doozy.
Gajeel: A doozy is an understatement!
Levy: My grandfather's a traitor?!
Lily: Levy, Joseph Mcgarden's not real. He's a character created by DigiXBot.
Thanks for ruining the suspense, Lily!
Lily: Sorry
Urg, anyway, leave a review and let me know what you think about this. And don't forget to follow or favorite if you're enjoying this so far. Hope I can get another chapter out before Winter Break ends. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
