Hello Readers! Here is the next Chapter to Battle Cry. I hope you enjoy it! Another thing, in this story I decided to make the AOT characters a few years older so that they can be around the same age as the FT characters. I believe that this being so will help them relate with each other better. If I get something or some facts wrong, please feel free to politely correct me. I don't know every exact detail of either shows. For this Fanfic, Team Levi will consist of the main characters: Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Sasha, Connie, Reiner, Annie, Bertolt, Christa, and Ymir. And No, no one knows that *SPOILER*

that Reiner, Annie, and Bertolt are titans yet. So without further ado, Chapter 2.


FT POV

It had been 4 hours since they had departed. The red flashing in the sky had finally died down and the sky was now painted a beautiful shade of orange from the sunset that hung low. The members of Fairy Tail recruited for the special mission had brought a few horses and carriages to help carry their supplies and, if they were tired, them. No one had really said a word so far; it seems as if everyone was reflecting on what the master had said to them earlier.

They traveled in line fashion; Erza was in the front of it, since she was the one with the map. By now, mostly everyone was riding a horse or on the back of a carriage. The only ones who were still energetic enough to walk were Natsu, Gajeel, Laxus, and Elfman.

Levy led her horse out of the 'train' and went to walk beside Erza. "Erza-san, how are we supposed to cross worlds? Where are we supposed to cross worlds?" She asked.

Erza lowered the map from her face and looked toward the questioning bookworm. "I'm not entirely sure." she was frustrated. "This map leads us to these strange markings," she handed Levy the map and pointed. "The map ends between these two parallel lines. There's a page note next to it, but it's written in some ancient text.

Levy stared at the said text. With the use of her extreme knowledge of ancient writings and book-smarts, she was able to decipher the script. It said-

FIORE WORLD GATEWAY

"It's some sort of gateway," Levy said. She read further. "How far are we away from the end of this map?" She looked to the red headed woman.

"I'd say about 40 minutes." She replied.

She nodded. "The text says that there's a type of keypad to punch location coordinates in. These coordinates are addresses for individual worlds. Do you happen to know what is the address to...Shingeki Noi,...Kyojeen?," Erza handed Levy a folded note.

"Shingeki No Kyojin. Master gave this to me earlier." she handed Levy a folded paper.

Levy traded the map for the paper. She unfolded it; the paper revealed odd symbols. Must be the coordinates levy thought.

"We must hurry, the sun is setting." Erza interrupted the bookworm's train of thought. "Everyone fasten your pace, we're almost at the portal!" She whipped the reigns of her horse, urging it to speed up. Poor thing had been pulling the woman's 'luggage' all afternoon.

"HYA!"

"Are we there yet?" Evergreen asked, fanning herself with her feathery fan. She had been riding in one of the carriages.

"You just asked that a minute ago." Bixlo said. He was with her as well as with Freed.

"A lady shouldn't have to be in a carriage for 5 hours!" the impatient woman replied.

"ACTUALLY, it has only been 4 hours and 40 minu-" Freed interjected.

"Shut up Freed." She snapped.

In front of their carriage was Grey whose horse had been pulling them the whole, dang, trip... "Oi Erza! are we there yet?! I'm getting of the nagging hag in the back seat!" Evergreen was flabbergasted. "Also, I can't breathe with this Koala on me." The ice mage hinted at the water mage who somehow ended up sharing his horse. She had been crushing his ribs for a while now.

"Grey-sama..." Her whisper made him shudder. She was having another one of her 'fantasies'.

"Yes." She cracked a smile. "Everyone, halt! We are here!" She stopped her horse and stepped down from it. Everyone got out/up to stretch.

"Hey, if we're here, where is the gate?" Natsu pointed out.

"Flamebrain is right!" Gajeel said (finally given a line). The salmon head glared at him. The iron dragon slayer just replied with his famous gahee. "hey shawty," Gajeel went up to Levy and lazily rested his arm above her head. "You're smart, figure out why there's no gate." He looked around to the forest scenery, trying to see if there was some sort of portal nearby.

Natsu was making his way to his best friend, the celestial mage, but suddenly he ran into something. A timbering Natsu startled Lucy. It didn't make sense because there was nothing there to block his path. Either something invisible was standing there or the fire eater was so talented that he tripped over a flat surface. Probably the later, she thought.

"What the Heck?!" Natsu got up. He extended his arms out in front of him. He waved them up and down, trying to feel where the flat surface he ran into was. "Guys!" he yelled. "There's something here!" He shouted, rubbing his hands against the flat, invisible surface.

"I sense some kind of magic," Freed announced. "I recognize it... it's rune magic."

"Can Freed-sama do anything about it?" Juvia spoke up.

"It's an extremely strong type of rune magic. I may be able to cancel it out for thirty minutes at the most." He replied.

"Please do. We don't have much time." Erza directed.

Freed chanted a spell. Slowly, but surely, his runes began to reveal two 40 foot tall, stone pillars. Each pillar was painted with ancient symbols similar to those on the map.

"Levy,..." Erza looked to the girl still being weighted by a muscular arm of a certain dragon slayer. "Do your thing." The requip mage smiled.

Gajeel took his arm off of the girl. Levy pulled out the folded paper that contained the address from her pocket. She looked at the two giant pillars, she carefully read the scripts written on them. She walked closer to them, still observing the two stone towers.

The bluette observed that the scripts on the pillars were written vertically. Right under the last letter of the left pillar was an awkward blank space. It seemed out of place. When Levy looked closer, she realized that this was the keypad. It really was like a keyboard, there were ancient letters arranged perfectly in horizontal fashion. She looked at the paper then back to the keypad. She pushed the first symbol that looked similar to the first one the note. She continued to do so, completing the address.

When she finished, the tower began to light up.

"Is it open? Erza asked.

"Only one way to find out!" Natsu shouted. He marched forward.

Everyone gasped in shock...

"HELLO NEW WORLD!" Natsu shouted.

"Um, Natsu?"

"Wait a sec, I'm absorbing the new atmosphere!"

"Natsu-"

"GRAVITY FEELS SO MUCH LIGHTER HERE!"

"NATSU!" Grey punched the over-exaggerating main in the back of the head. "YOUR STILL IN FIORE YOU IDIOT!"

"It didn't work?" Erza said questioningly.

"I don't get it..." Levy checked the keypad. "I punched in the right letters..." She felt slightly discouraged. "Lemme try again."

She punched in the address; the pillars did what they did before, they lit up. For experimentation, Grey walked back to the group through the pillars. Nothing happened.

"Ugh, what is missing?" Levy asked herself.

"Guys, I don't mean to rush, but we're running out of time." Everyone looked to Freed who was still using his magic energy. Everyone saw that it was taking its toll on him.

Erza went to Levy and crouched down the keypad level. "Is it so old that it doesn't function?" Erza questioned frustratingly.

"I don't know..." Levy began to feel just the same as Erza.

The requip mage clenched her teeth. "DARN THIS STUPID THING!" she punched the keypad. Just when she was about to tell everyone to head back to Magnolia, lightning from the sky struck the top of the two pillars. The blue lights that had lit up the two stones had turned golden.

Everyone looked to Laxus, thinking that it was he who had commanded the lightning to come down. His confused face gave everyone the answer that it wasn't the lightning dragon slayer.

Natsu, who had still been standing on the other side of pillars, started to walk back to the group. "Guys, what hap-"

He vanished.

"NATSU!" Wendy shouted in fear. Everyone was baffled.

"Everyone, Hurry!" Erza shouted. "Back on your horses! We're going through!"

The Fairy Tail mages got back on their horses or carriages. With the fierce slap of the reigns, they urged their horses to run rapidly into the portal. Freed went in last since he was the one helping open the gate. By the time all them made it through and disappeared off of Fiore, the portal closed and the view of the pillars faded, blending with the forest.

Little did they know that they had been followed. The mysterious figure had been hiding in the woods, watching them. Not pleased at all, the figure clenched its jaw in fury.

"So it seems that Fairy Tail is going to butt in my plans..."

The figure gave a malicious smile. "If they get in my way, I will get in theirs..." a chuckle came from its lips. "and END them."

The colorful and bright world known to the FT mages had now turned into more authentic and lush colors. The neon forest that they entered was now more dark in color. It wasn't just the world around them that changed...

"Natsu! Where are you?" Lucy shouted.

"I'm right here, Luce!" The dragon slayer revealed himself behind the distant trees. He made his way towards the others.

"Natsu? is that... you?" Lucy was almost certain that this person wasn't the mage she had feelings for- I mean had a deep connection with. The man she recalls had salmon hair and had more muscle mass. The person in front of her had brown hair and looked more slim and was slightly taller. The only similar trait was the eyes; they were onyx in color.

"Yeah, of course its me, why wouldn't it be?" He walked up to the girl.

"Your hair..." She said. He gave her a confused look. He also noticed that his clothes were slightly loose and skimpy. He pulled a strand of hair from his head. He was shocked to find his usual pinkish hair had turned into a deep shade of brown.

"What the-" He quickly looked at everyone else.

Lucy and Laxus both retained their blonde hair and eye colors. Their body masses changed however; Lucy's outrages and attractive curves had mellowed down and had become more proportioned and as for Laxus, he was still as tall as ever, but his overlarge muscles had become somewhat smaller. Levy's blue hair turned blonde, strangely. Her body didn't change, well not enough for the naked eye to notice. Wendy's hair became brunette and her eyes changed to the color of honey. Just like the bookworm, her body didn't change. Juvia's hair had turned raven black and her hips shrunk in width. The requip mage's scarlet hair changed to the color of copper, either way it still looked beautiful on her. Mirajane's snow white hair turned to ash-blonde and Elman's to a light shade of black. The shape of their bodies had definitely mellowed down. Grey and Evergreen stayed about the same. Gajeel didn't change much, but all his piercings were gone and he had grown eyebrows. Bixlow had a full head of hair and his hair turned into a dark rustic color. Freed's forest green hair became a color in between red and brown.

"Why do we all look so different?" Wendy questioned.

"Maybe since we changed worlds, our appearances changed to fit the forms of the people that live here..." Lucy reasoned.

"That makes sense..." Erza replied. She observed the surrounding area. Strait ahead she saw light that lead out of the forest. "Come on, we need to get out of here and meet a woman by the name of Hanji Zoe. She might have the answers to why this planet called for our help. Everyone, cover your guild marks. We do not want to attract any attention to ourselves."

They began cover their symbols.

Laxus, Gajeel, and Elfman jumped in some of the carriages, Natsu however was reluctant to get in. Erza simply punched the dragon slayer hard enough in the stomach to K.O. him. She through him on her horse like he was another piece of luggage. Once again, the FT mages urged their horses to go fast and head for the city described as being surrounded by massive walls.

XXXX 40 minutes later. XXXX

"THERE IT IS!" Erza yelled as she pointed to the 50 meter high walls. She was glad they were almost there; she didn't know what kind of beasts lived outside of the protection of the walls. She wasn't so sure how she was to fight them if they were to have an encounter.

THUMP. THUMP.

"What was that?" Lucy yelped.

The ground began to shake vigorously. The horses and wagons/carriages had a difficult time keeping balance. The thumping seemed to be getting closer.

Erza looked back toward the forest area that they had just exited, something was causing the nearby trees to timber. Something big was approaching them.

"ASKJKGHELKXCLASO!" a loud screech pierced the wizards' ears.

"WHAT IS THAT?" Natsu yelled pointing at the disfigured humanoid charging toward them.

Panicking, Erza quickly told them the only thing they could do. "EVERYONE RUSH TO THE WALLS"

AOT POV

"What another boring day..." Eren sighed as he wrung his mop for the 5th time. Today was the squads day off. Since it is Sunday, Team Levi spent half of the day cleaning the entire survey corps castle. Everything had to be sparkling clean.

"It's so hooooottttt!" Connie complained. He was dusting the shelves. "I'm coming to the point where you dumping that dirty water on me is good enough to cool me down..." he told Eren.

The titan shifter chuckled. "If I did that, the Lance Corporal would kill us for making the room even more dirty."

"Which I don't completely understand." A certain blonde male joined in their little conversation. He was arranging the paperwork on the desk that rested comfortably along the wall. "The grounds are always clean..."

Eren replied with a voice that mimicked the said Captain. "It's not clean until I can see the reflection of your Sh*tty face off of the floor." The three boys bursted into laughter.

"That's right Yeager." All laughter stopped. The faces of the once cheerful boys was now pale. "As a special reward for your excellent imitation of myself, I'm going to let the three of you clean this entire castle that it looks like it was built from mirrors." The not-so-amused Lance Corporal Levi had managed to walk by and overhear the conversation. With his final words, he went back to whatever it was that he was going to do.

"Way to go Eren..." Connie sighed.

Somewhere else in the camp.

"Man, the sun is beating down on us hard..." A brunette with a signature ponytail groaned. "Mikasa, aren't you hot in that scarf?" She asked the Asian girl while lifting some supply crates off of a delivery wagon.

"Not at all. It's a special scarf. I wear it like jewelry." The girl replied.

"But your face is dripping with sweat..." Sasha said. Mikasa blushed with embarrassment. They both laughed it off though.

"Oi, potato girl, aren't you gonna help me here?" A rude implication of 'stop talking and help me' came from the forgotten boy who was helping them lift the heavy crates.

"Horseface," Sasha turned to face him. "why you gotta be so ruu~uude, don'tcha know I'm human du~ude~" She sang. Mikasa started to laugh. "I'll never be a horse anyway"

He tried to give his normal jerk face, but failed. He flashed his rarely seen smile as he handed her the next crate.

"Get a room." Annie came over to them. Jean, being the virgin he is, blushed, but no one saw.

"Please, we are just friends." Sasha was oblivious as ever.

Jean 'coughed' "So why are you here Annie?"

"Wow, rude much?" the blonde girl replied.

"I know right?" Sasha agreed, giving the horseface a hard time.

"I mean, aren't you supposed to be working in the stables with Reiner and Bertolt?" Jean clarified.

"Yeah, but I heard some interesting rumors. Apparently we are going to have some new recruits."

"What about these new recruits?" Mikasa asked, stacking a crate neatly on top of others.

"These recruits are getting special training and when they graduate, they're joining Team Levi." Annie finished.

"I wonder why..." Mikasa thought.

"Who knows," Annie hopped off the crate she had been resting on. "We may find out soon." She walked back toward the stables.

In the Corporal's office.

"That is why we launched the SOS" Hanji finished.

"I see. We are at your service then." The requip mage gave her hand. Hanji took it and shook.

"And what will be your cover story?" A man, known as Erwin Smith, questioned. "We can't have our people in a state of panic knowning that there are different kinds of races from different planets who could be another threat to our humanity."

"I assure you sir, we are not a threat. I just found out earlier today that there are different planets among us. You are lucky enough that we came." Erza said. "As for our cover story, we are from small town in Chlorba that got burned down. We suffer from slight amnesia. We have scars from the burns and are embarrassed by them. Because of this, we cover them." She lifted her shoulder, showing a bandage that covered her guild mark.

"Just for curiosty, what are you really hiding?" Levi spoke up.

Erza stared at him for moment. She untied the wrapping, revealing the colorless guild mark. Instead of looking like a tattoo, which it normally did, it looked like someone had branded her with an iron rod formed in symbol's shape.

"Very well." The stoic man replied.

"Where is the rest of your squad, Miss Scarlet?" Erwin asked.

"They are outside of your camp, Commander."

"I would love to meet them sometime." he smiled.

"Of course sir."

"By the way, how did you find the Survey Corps?"

"When entering the walls, we ran into this man. He saved us from, I believe you call them Titans? I asked if he knew a woman named Hanji Zoe and he lead us here." Erza pointed to Mike who was currently sniffing her and chuckling.

The commander's smile only grew.
