Hey guys! Decided to do another chapter since I got bored. Ive gotten some reviews on my writing style and I'm sorry if you don't like it but I just write for fun I try to improve how I want to but besides that I just enjoy writing, but for the people who gave the reviews I have no ill will because you were just trying to help and I appreciate it. Anyways on to the next chapter!
After applying the guild stamp on her shoulder there were some cheers from the guild members for having another member. Some people were excited and some were just waking up from the blood loss or from when Natsu exerted his magical pressure earlier. Or there were some like Erza who had her hands at her chest trying to figure out why they aren't fully grown like Ultear was and now was jealous of the older woman. (A/N: credit to experimenter19).
There was a certain raven haired teen who just woke up and was staring at Ultear not with lust but with confusion. He slowly walked up to her and said on name. "Ur?" The raven haired teen named Gray asked. Ultear turned around and was confused at first but remembered the former student of her mother was in the guild. "Im sorry but I'm not Ur." Ultear said with a small smile as she patted the young boys head.
"But you look exactly like her but with longer hair?" Gray asked not believing what the older female was saying. Some of the guild members including the guild master overheard what Gray said and started having more nose bleeds thinking of the mother and daughter. Ultear bit her lip trying to figure out what to say to the young ice wizard. She was saved by the love of her life luckily.
"Sorry to break it to you Gray, she is related to your master but she isn't her." Natsu said as he walked up to the two. Gray looked between them and nodded and walked back to where he was seated by Cana and started sulking. "Poor guy that is still pretty recent for him." Ultear whispered sadly. She saw Gray as somewhat of a you her brother as well as Lyon.
"I know but time will help heal his wounds." Natsu said knowing from experience. Ultear nodded at his words and turned towards the dragon slayer. "Natsu we really need to talk." Ultear said with a serious face. Natsu nodded and looked around the guild quickly until he saw the scarlet haired girl still having her hands placed on her chest. Laughing a bit, he walked over to Wendy and grabbed her hand and walked to Erza.
"Erza can you watch Wendy for a bit while I go talk to Ultear in private please." Natsu asked politely. Erza broke out of her stupor as she registered what he asked before accepting. Wendy was excited to play with her "Older Sister" but she wanted to be with her father. "Are you gonna be back soon papa?" Wendy asked with a pouty face. "We wont be that long be good for Erza okay?" Natsu asked and Wendy nodded as Erza took her towards the kid table with Gray and Cana.
After getting his babysitter for Wendy he walked back to Ultear and nodded her to follow. They left the guild hall and went out to the woods near where Natsu's old house was. "Ok we should be in private now." Natsu said as he stopped and turned towards the time mage. Ultear sighed as she pinched her nose. "We haven't been back for more then two days and you already changed the timeline."
Natsu flinched knowing she was talking about Wendy. "I didn't know if Mystogan was going to be here to protect her when Grandeeny left. What was I suppose to do leave her to die. She didn't know any offensive magic till we fought the Oracion Seis." Natsu said defending his course of action.
"I guess you have a point. We don't know if Edolas time field was changed or not since it's a different universe." Ultear said confused of the whole situation. "Also we need to plan out what we are going to do about future events that we are going to keep the same or change." Ultear said taking charge of the situation.
"I think we should talk about if we are going to tell anyone yet first." Natsu said stating his opinion on the matter. He wouldn't mind telling Master Makarov the situation knowing he would be helpful to what is happening. "Gramps could be very helpful with what is going on. He also has lots of connections." Natsu explained to Ultear. "You are right, but would he believe us." Ultear asked not knowing the old guild master as well as the dragon slayer.
"If we explained our case I think he would, he is very wise and will probably give us good advice." Natsu explained to Ultear. Ultear didn't reply and stopped to think about the situation. She was about to reply when Natsu held up his hand. "Wait I smell some people near us." Natsu said as Ultear nodded. The fire dragon slayer started following the scent. The closer he got to the scent the closer they got to the location of where his house use to be. They slowly crept up to the spot and heard a fire going. They walked around and hid behind a bush until they heard.
"Ahhh your burning my fish!" Natsu laughed recognizing the voice and walked through the bushes with Ultear right behind him. Right there where his house should be, was a camp fire with four people or should I say one person and three cats sitting around it. Before Natsu could say anything he was tackled by a flying blur. "Natsuuuuu where were you and why is the old guild hall there and everyone is younger and why is Mystogan here!" Happy rambled on as Natsu started to pet his furry friend.
Happy stated the truth along with Mystogan was Carla and Pantherlily sitting around the fire. "Its good to see some friendly faces." Mystogan said as he stood up to go to the fire dragon slayer. "How are you all here?" Natsu asked in disbelief. Pantherlily was the one to speak up. "We don't know, all the three of us exceeds could remember was some war and we woke up a few miles out of town and when we went to the guild hall only happy recognized it." Pantherlily explained.
"That would make sense since you and Carla joined after the remodel." Natsu said while in a thinking pose. "But I'm more curious on how you're here Mystogan?" Natsu asked looking at his old ally. "I honestly don't know either before I was sent here I was doing some paperwork and went to bed, before I knew anything else I woke up out here in the woods and found these three arguing." Mystogan said with a confused look.
Natsu turned to Ultear hoping she might have a theory on what happened. Seeing the look from Natsu she decided to explain what she thought happened. "From what I can tell since you four are from a different universe, is that when we used Last Ages to go back in time it couldn't send the exceeds back to Edolas and Mystogan was here back in this time and was sent here in the form he was in Edolas." Ultear explained.
"I guess that makes sense, but what happened how did we get sent back in time?" Mystogan asked. "That would be our fault." Natsu said while rubbing the back of his neck with his hand. "We used an ancient spell to try and go back in time when we were losing the war in the future, but what we didn't guess was with how much magic we used we would get sent back this far." Natsu explained to the group.
Everyone was a bit shocked at the news. Until Mystogan stood up and looked worried. "Oh no, what about Wendy I was so confused about being back I forgot I was the one that found her." After saying this Carla started to get worried as well. "Don't worry you two I didn't know if you were here so I went straight there to find Wendy, she is at the guild right now with Erza." Natsu said as the two sighed in relief. "But I may now be her adoptive father." Natsu added in.
"Well at least she might grow a back bone then." Surprisingly it was not other then Carla who said the statement. Everyone looked at her shocked at what she said. "I love Wendy but that girl was timid and shy, I hoped she would gain your attitude a little bit and become more open to others, and now she might." Carla explained as the group nodded.
"Ok but were gonna need a plan for how to continue from here on out." Ultear said. The group talked it out for over an hour and they at least got some of the groundwork laid out.
Mystogan would join later down the road as after he travelled for a bit to regain some of his magic staves he needs for his magic. Pantherlily will go with him since he isn't supposed to join the guild for a long time and we don't know where Gajeel is at this point in time.
Carla and Happy will join the guild after Natsu and Ultear go on a mission and say they rescued them from something related to the mission. Then Natsu will give Carla to Wendy as a gift and Happy will stay with Natsu. After a while they will go into more detail but for now Natsu and Ultear are expected back at the guild and need to go back right away.
They are back! I felt like it would be weird without our Exceed friends and Mystogan was always a cool character that was tossed out really early in my opinion. Also his magic was really cool as well.
