Chapter 34: The Fairy Tail Wizards
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray leave Land of Fantasy and they start searching for the next world and Ky finds a new world that has a town and so the group decide to that world and Ky uses Dawn of Hope to create a trail of light followed by a light portal and Ky and his friends follow the light trail and go to the light portal to enter the world.
(World of Fiore)
The light portal appears in a town and Ky and his friends leave the portal after it disappears and the group look around the town to see if there are any Black Xetis or Heartless but so far there's nothing in town.
"Where are we now?" Zatch asked and Tails activates his techno map.
"According to my techno map, we're in a place called Fiore. It's a kingdom where mages live." Tail explained.
"Mages, huh? Sounds like my kind of world." Elena said
"This place is kinda peaceful so far too.." Max said.
"Yeah. For now." Kiyo said.
"We have to watch out because Black Xetis or Heartless will appear." T.J. said but just then Phantom Black Xetis and Zombie Black Xetis appear. "Me and my big mouth." T.J. said.
"Don't worry, T.J. We can take 'em." Ky said as he takes out Dawn of Hope.
(Battle Theme: Fairy Tail Battle Theme)
The Phantom Black Xetis attack the group with their chains but Ky attacks with Dawn of Hope while Elena casts Thunder and then casts Blizzard while Max uses Shield Boomerang but the Zombie Black Xetis attack with their limbs but Tails tail swipes and then shoots a shot from his blaster while Blaze double flame kicks while Shadow throws Chaos Arrows but the Phantom Black Xetis shoot black beams but Storm unleashes electricity while Lucky uses Ground Pound while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker but the Zombie Black Xetis dig underground and rise up to attack but T.J. slashes with his knife followed by a forward kick but the Phantom Black Xetis disappear to attack but Bentley throws sleep darts allowing Sly to use Cane Push while Murray uppercuts but the Black Xetis continue to attack but Ky uses Strike Raid and the group defeat the Black Xetis.
"You don't think Bowser Jr. or Zervik's minions will be here too, do you?" Zatch asked.
"They should be since the Black Xetis are here." Sly said.
"Maybe Nex, Pax, and Griff are here too." Ky said.
"Let's check." Elena said.
(Field Theme: Fairy Tail)
(Magnolia)
The group start exploring around the town to see if anymore Black Xetis or any Heartless have appeared but so far they haven't appeared yet but they can't let their guard down so they keep looking but as they continue to explore they see a building with a symbol that looks like a bird with a tail in the middle of the building and so they decide to go into the building.
(Fairy Tail Guild)
They enter the building and they see some people sitting, relaxing, drinking, and talking to each other and the group look around while ignoring some people looking at them and they see a woman with white long hair and wearing a pink dress behind the counter and she notices the group.
"Well, hello there." The woman greeted the group. "Are you all new around here?" The woman asked.
"You could say that." Ky answered.
"We're just looking around to see if there are any bad guys around here." Max said and the woman giggles.
"Are you all superheroes?" The woman asked.
"Not really..." Kiyo answered.
"Well then, my name is Mirajane Strauss, but you may call me Mira. If there's anything you need, just tell me, okay?" Mira said.
"Sure thing. Thanks, Mira." Ky said and they look around.
"Hey! What're you doing here?! You're not here to cause trouble in Fairy Tail, are ya?!" A voice demanded and the group turn to see a boy with spiky pink hair, wearing a white scarf around his neck, a black sleeveless, opened, and untucked waistcoat, white high knee trousers, a thick waistband around his left wrist, and black sandals.
"What? No way." Ky answered.
"Quite the rude one, huh? You should at least welcome guests around here, moron." Elena said.
"Why you...!" The boy growled as he charges at the group but someone stops him.
"Natsu, enough. Honestly, these people are guests and we shall treat them as such. Besides, they don't appear evil." Someone said and it's a woman with scarlet long hair, wearing knight armor, a blue skirt, and black boots.
"But you'll never know, Erza. For all we know, they could kill us anytime." Another voice said and it's a blue furred cat eating fish while being with the boy named Natsu.
"We're not here to kill anyone." Tails said.
"We're just investigating is all." Blaze said.
"What makes you think we're here to hurt you guys?" Murray asked.
"Forgive me. It's just that my friends are on high alert. There has been major attacks as of late." The woman named Erza explained.
"Don't worry. We're not gonna attack you." Ky said.
"I believe them." Another voice said and it's a little girl with long blue hair and wearing a shoulder less yellow dress.
"I agree with Wendy. If they're not the enemy, then we shan't treat them like that." Another voice said and it's a female white furred cat next to the girl named Wendy.
"Then why're you here?" Another voice asked and it's a young man with long black spiky hair, tan skin, having piecing like accessories on his face, wearing a sleeveless top with a black feather on his left side, and black gloves.
"We're here to find any Black Xetis or Heartless and find the Keyhole." Shadow said.
"Sorry, but we've never heard of any of those." Erza said.
"If you say so." Kiyo said.
"We'll keep looking." Ky said.
"You know what you're doing?" A voice asked and it's another young man with raven black hair, wearing black pants, a necklace that looks like a sword with a stone in it around his neck, a metal bracelet, a chain attached to belt loops on the right side of his pants, and is shirtless.
"We do, unlike a certain impolite moron who enjoys wasting our time." Elena said to Natsu making him charge again at the girl but Erza stops him again.
"Sorry about Natsu. He's just worried about someone and we're on our way to find her." Erza said.
"Who?" Bentley asked.
"Her name is Lucy and she and Natsu got into a fight about something Natsu did." Wendy explained.
"And during that argument, he called Lucy weak and made her run away from here. Now we're gonna find her." The raven haired male explained.
"You should wear a shirt first, Gray." The blue furred cat said calling the male Gray.
"I'm not worried about her. You guys wanna find her and you're forcing me to tag along." Natsu said.
"Natsu, she's your friend too." Wendy said.
"I'm sure she'd search the end of the world for you if you went away and never returned." Erza said.
"Not to mention it's YOUR fault, Salamander." The tan skinned young man said.
"And YOU drove her off by calling her weak." Gray said.
"Whatever. Let's get the search outta the way." Natsu said.
"Is it okay if we help?" Ky asked and Natsu was about to answer but Erza cuts in.
"Of course. We would appreciate some assistance. Thank you." Erza said making Natsu face palm.
"Get over yourself, Salamander." The tan skinned young man said.
"Shut it, Metal boy!" Natsu yelled.
"It's not Gajeel's fault you drove Lucy out, Hot-head!" Gray said.
"Stay outta this, ya shirtless popcicle!" Natsu yelled.
"I'M not the one who hurt Lucy's feelings, so shut your face!" Gray yelled getting in Natsu's face and Natsu does the same.
"What's their deal?" T.J. asked.
"They always fight." The blue furred cat answered.
"Boys. They always get into pointless and stupid fights. At least Ky is more mature than these idiots." Elena said.
"Uh, thanks?" Ky said.
"Let us start finding Lucy." Erza said.
"YOU can! I'm gonna go on a job." Natsu said.
"But, Natsu, you said you'd help." Wendy said.
"I heard it." The blue furred cat said.
"I was forced to and you two know it." Natsu said.
"You're still going, whether you want to or not." Gray said.
"I said shut it, Ice-prick!" Natsu yelled.
"I don't take orders from YOU, Flare-face!" Gray yelled.
"Enough! Both of you!" Erza said.
"Anyway, where do we start finding Lucy?" Tails asked.
"Normally, she goes to her apartment after visiting here. Let's try there." Erza suggested.
"Sounds good to me. Let's go find this Lucy and bring her back here." Ky said.
"Excellent! Please see if you can." A voice said and the group see a tiny old man wearing an orange and blue hat and an opened orange shirt showing a white shirt.
"And you are?" Shadow asked.
"I'm Makarov, master of the Fairy Tail Guild. You all must be new here." Makarov said.
"You could say that..." Sly said.
"Anyway, let's get going." Max said.
"Very well. By the way, who are you?" Erza asked.
"Ky." Ky introduced.
"Elena." Elena introduced.
"Max Goof." Max introduced.
"Tails." Tails introduced.
"Blaze the Cat." Blaze introduced.
"Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog." Shadow introduced.
"Kiyo Takamine." Kiyo introduced.
"Zatch Bell." Zatch introduced.
"T.J. Detweiler." T.J. introduced.
"Sly Cooper." Sly introduced.
"Bentley." Bentley introduced.
"Murray." Murray introduced.
"And this is Storm the Pikachu and this is Lucky the Yoshi." Ky introduced the two.
"Pikachu!" Storm said.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said.
"A pleasure to meet you all. I am Erza Scarlet." Erza introduced.
"Gray Fullbuster." Gray introduced.
"I'm Wendy Marvell." Wendy introduced. "And this is Carla, my Exceed friend." Wendy introduced Carla.
"Hello." Carla said.
"Name's Gajeel Redfox." Gajeel introduced.
"I'm Happy. It's nice to meet you." Happy introduced.
"You've already met Natsu the idiot." Gray said.
"Shut up!" Natsu yelled.
"Okay then. Let's start searching for Lucy." Ky said.
"But we don't know where her apartment is." Zatch said.
"Don't worry about that. We know the way. We've been to her place lots of times." Gray said.
"But since you volunteered to come along, I won't have to." Natsu said but Erza hits his head.
"Something tells me that Natsu doesn't like this Lucy girl at all..." Ky said.
"Well..." Elena was cut off by Happy.
"That's not true, Ky. Lucy is Natsu's friend. He's just angry from the argument." Happy said.
"That he caused." Gray said.
"We'd best to get to Lucy's apartment right away." Erza said.
"Lead the way." Sly said.
The group go through the town to find Lucy's apartment but as they keep moving they see Heartless appearing.
"So the Heartless ARE here along with the Black Xetis." Ky said taking out Dawn of Hope.
"The what?" Natsu asked confused.
"We'll explain later." Tails said.
"We have to get rid of them." Max said.
The Heartless attack the group but Ky attacks with Dawn of Hope while Elena casts Fire while Max uses Shield Missile but the Heartless attack back but Tails fires lasers from his blaster while Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Shadow multi punches followed by a multi spin kick but the Heartless keep fighting back but Storm uses Skullbash while Lucky uses Egg Roll while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga but the Heartless sink into the ground and attack but T.J. throws knives but a Heartless gets behind T.J. but Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws bombs while Murray triple punches but the Heartless fight back but Natsu attacks with fire punches while Gray makes an ice sword and slashes with it while Erza slashes with her sword but the Heartless fight back but Wendy attacks with a whirlwind from her mouth but a Heartless attacks Wendy but Gajeel creates an iron pole and impales the Heartless but the Heartless continue to fight back but Ky delivers a slash with Dawn of Hope and they defeat the Heartless.
"Just what are those things?" Erza asked.
"Those were Heartless. They're creatures born from the darkness in others' hearts, just like the other creatures called Black Xetis. They consume the light of a heart. That's why they're both here. We're here to destroy them and seal the Keyhole before they do." Ky explained.
"What happens if they find this Keyhole?" Wendy asked.
"This town'll be destroyed." Ky answered.
"Then, let's deal with them." Natsu said.
"Not until you deal with some unfinished business. YOU owe Lucy an apology." Gray said pointing at Natsu.
"She's the one who blew a fuse." Natsu replied.
"And YOU'RE the one being an idiot." Gray shot back.
"Shut up! Both of you!" Erza yelled.
"C'mon. Let's hurry to Bunny girl's apartment." Gajeel said.
"What?" T.J. asked confused.
"That's a nickname for Lucy Gajeel made." Happy said.
"How stupid." Elena said.
"Let's just find the apartment." Ky said.
The group continue through town to find Lucy's apartment but as they keep moving Ky sees something leaping from roof to roof and takes a closer look and that something is a shadowy figure.
"Who is that?" Ky asked.
"Ky, what's wrong?" Elena asked.
"Nothing. Let's keep going." Ky said.
The group continue to follow Natsu, Gray, Erza, Wendy, and Gajeel through town until they finally arrive at a building.
(Lucy's Apartment)
"Is that Lucy's apartment?" Max asked.
"Yes. She must be here." Erza said as she knocks on the door but there is no response and so Erza tries again but nothing. "Lucy? Are you in there?" Erza asked.
"She must be REALLY angry." Zatch said.
"I guess she won't talk to anyone." Shadow said.
"Happy, fly me up there." Natsu said.
"Aye, sir!" Happy said as he summons wings on his back and he takes Natsu upward.
"Well?" Blaze asked.
"She's not in her room." Natsu said as he and Happy land.
"Then she's not in her apartment after all..." Bentley said.
"If not, then where is she?" Kiyo asked.
"We'll have to keep searching until we find her." Gajeel said.
"Good luck with that. I'll just head back and..." Natsu was cut off by Erza grabbing Natsu's ear.
"YOU'RE coming with us! You caused Lucy to run off and so WE'RE searching for her TOGETHER! Is that clear?!" Erza demanded.
"Aye..." Natsu said.
"You should try smelling where she is." Gray said.
"Okay." Wendy said.
"Fine." Natsu said.
"Sure." Gajeel said.
Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel start sniffing like dogs.
"She was here, but she ran off somewhere that way." Wendy said pointing at a path in front of them.
"Okay then. Let's see if we can find her there." Ky said and the group start heading for that direction.
The group keep going through the town with Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel leading the way and as they keep moving they arrive at a forest.
(Fiore Forest)
"Lucy should be here." Natsu said.
"Great. Then we should..." Ky was cut off by a voice.
"About time you got here, Ky." A voice said and the group see someone on a treetop and Ky is shocked to see that it's Nex.
"Nex!" Ky said shocked.
"So that's one of your friends?" Elena asked.
"Yeah." Ky answered.
"I'll admit. It's good to see you again and I see that these little maggots are your new friends." Nex said.
"Maggots?!" Natsu and Gajeel demanded at the same time.
"Don't bother attacking me. Your attacks are futile and weak." Nex said.
"Sound familiar, Flame-brain?" Gray asked.
"What're you doing here?" Ky asked.
"Not your concern. Just looking for something." Nex said.
"What about Pax or Griff? Have you seen them?" Ky asked.
"Maybe. Follow me, and I'll tell you what you wanna know." Nex said as he jumps off from the treetop to another treetop.
"Wait! You guys search for Lucy! I gotta follow him." Ky said as he goes for the tree.
"Ky, wait!" Elena called but Ky has already got on the treetop and leaps from treetop to treetop.
"Looks like we'll have to split up." Gray said.
"Agreed. Natsu, Happy, you go with Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray." Erza said.
"Actually those two can go with Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Kiyo and Zatch, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray. Storm, Lucky, and I are going with Ky!" Elena said as she, Storm, and Lucky go after Ky.
"Hey! You can't leave us! Wait!" T.J. called.
"T.J., there's no option." Tails said.
"Gajeel, Wendy, and Carla, you're together." Erza said.
"Okay." Wendy said.
"Whatever, Titania." Gajeel said.
"Gray, you're with me." Erza said.
"Got it." Gray said and everyone parts ways with who goes with whom.
(Treetop)
Ky is still the treetops following Nex and as he's trying to get to Nex he finds that he's getting closer.
"Almost there, Nex." Ky said but as he gets closer he sees a Black Xeti getting in his way and swipes at Ky and knocks him off the treetops.
Meanwhile in the field a girl with shoulder length blonde hair that is tied by ribbons of some colors into a ponytail on the right side of her head while the rest of her hair is loose wearing a white and blue sleeveless top, a blue short skirt, carrying a black whip on her side while a set of gold keys are on the other side, and wearing long boots is sitting on a rock to take a break from walking through the forest to clear her mind after what she's been through today.
"That stupid Natsu. Why does he have to be SO reckless all the time?!" The girl asked to herself. "Why does he have to do stupid things while we're on a job? He even had the nerve to call me weak and even punched me." The girl said as she feels her face that now has a mark from the punch she got.
Flashback:
The girl, Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Erza return to Fairy Tail after their job and as they sit down to rest Mira walks over to them.
"Hi, guys. How was your job?" Mira asked.
"It was fine...until Natsu had to screw up evertything up like the idiot he is." The girl answered.
"Oh, c'mon, Lucy. You're still on that?" Natsu asked.
"What happened?" Wendy asked.
"Our job was to find and slay a beast while also protecting a temple from it." Erza answered.
"We went to where we were supposed to go to and we found that beast and we saw it destroying the temple and so we attacked it." Gray added.
"Although we did our best to stop it, the beast was putting up a fight, but we still didn't give up and we kept fighting back, but it was still being stubborn and kept fighting back." Lucy explained.
"That was when I had enough of the beast and so I used my Fire Magic to destroy it." Natsu said.
"AND destroying the temple in the process." Lucy said.
"Hey, I don't see what the big deal is. We still did our job and we took down the beast, right?" Natsu said.
"YOU got in the way when we were about to attack again. And the 'big deal' is that our mission was to PROTECT the temple, not destroy it, you halfwit! Even if the beast was beaten, we still had to make sure that temple was not destroyed and now we didn't get our jewels for this." Lucy said.
"Sheesh, I never thought you'd blow such a huge fuse over a little mistake." Natsu said.
"Little mistake...? LITTLE MISTAKE?! WHAT YOU DID WAS A HUGE MISTAKE!" Lucy shouted with rage.
"Ya know, nothin's more annoying than you throwing your little fits over nothing." Natsu said slightly ticked off.
"Little fits...OVER NOTHING?!" Lucy yelled. "You idiot! We were expected to complete a job and try not to cause anymore damage, but apparently, you don't even care and go ahead and blow things up like it's your specialty." Lucy said.
"For information, I DO care about completing a job and what was I supposed to do?" Natsu asked.
"Oh, gee, I don't know. Maybe you could've just distracted it somewhere AWAY from the temple and then you could take it down, but knowing you, that thought never occurred to you." Lucy said.
"Well, maybe YOU should've told me to distract it!" Natsu snapped.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize I have tell you EVERYTHING while we're fighting. Next thing you might want me to remind you to use the bathroom and have your diaper changed too." Lucy said causing some laughter around the guild and Natsu gets extremely angry.
"At least I can fight on my own! What do you do every time we fight? Oh, right. You summon your Celestial Spirits to do your dirty work since you can't do jack on your own!" Natsu yelled.
"They don't fight FOR me, they HELP me! There is a difference! At least I don't tell them to destroy something we're supposed to protect, which you hardly do!" Lucy shot back.
"In case you've forgotten or maybe that brain has left your head, I DO protect things! I just don't have a choice." Natsu said.
"Oh, so now I'M the idiot?!" Lucy asked.
"It's not about you, Lucy!" Natsu yelled.
"No, it's not! But you still shouldn't be too reckless during fights because that could get us into more trouble and we've had enough of it already!" Lucy said.
"Who the hell went and made YOU master of the guild?" Natsu asked.
"No one, but I'm just trying to be smart and avoid anymore damage, unlike you." Lucy said.
"Well,, unlike YOU, I'M stronger and can us Fire Magic! You can't do a single thing because you always depend on your Spirits or me or Ice-prick or Erza or Happy or even Wendy to save your little hide all the time because you're the weak one!" Natsu yelled.
"Natsu, enough!" Gray yelled.
"Being weak beats being a stupid hot-head." Lucy replied and Natsu gets so angry that he delivers a fire punch at Lucy's face knocking her down and everyone gasps at this.
"Lucy!" Wendy cried.
"Enough is enough!" Erza yelled as she helps Lucy up. "Are you all right, Lucy?" Erza asked.
"I guess. What is wrong with you?" Lucy asked.
"..." Natsu doesn't say a word.
"I swear, you really ARE an idiot." Lucy said as she runs out of the guild.
Flashback End.
"Okay. So I'm not as strong as anyone else, but at least I'm not an idiot. I can't believe I yelled at him, but he went too far. Everybody in Fairy Tail is probably worried about me right now and are probably searching for me, but I don't want to be found. I'll come back when I feel like it." Lucy said.
"Or you don't have to come back ever again." A voice said and Lucy looks around.
"Who's there? Natsu? Gray? Erza? Wendy?" Lucy asked still looking around but she doesn't see anything. "If this is some kind of joke, then it's not funny. Come out now or I'll find you!" Lucy threatened.
"Calm down. You don't have to be afraid. We're right behind you and we want to talk, Lucy Heartfilia." A voice said and Lucy turns to see Bowser Jr. appearing.
"Who are you? Are you from a Dark Guild?" Lucy asked.
"Don't worry about where I'm from. I'm Bowser Jr. and I'd like to ask you why you waste your life in Fairy Tail and waste your life with a bunch of drunken wizards." Bowser Jr. said.
"Well, sure they're like that, but they also care about each other and work together." Lucy said.
"Stupid answer. The only thing that Fairy Tail has stolen is your potential. You could be much more without them. All you do there is depend on your so called friends to help you and also rely on your Spirits to help as well." Bowser Jr. said.
"Look, I'm not in a good mood to talk about this. I also don't appreciate you talking trash about everyone in Fairy Tail." Lucy said.
"I'm offering you to come with me and you can be an even better and stronger wizard than anyone else. You can also make that boy, Natsu, pay for what he's done to you." Bowser Jr. said.
"If I say no?" Lucy asked.
"This'll make you change your mind." Bowser Jr. said as he unleashes Zombie Black Xetis and Werewolf Black Xetis. "I'd like your answer NOW." Bowser Jr. said.
"You and your monsters don't scare me. I can handle these by myself." Lucy said.
"Stupid girl. I offered this once and you just spat it. Now you'll pay for it. Black Xetis, KILL HER!" Bowser Jr. commanded and the Zombie Black Xetis and Werewolf Black Xetis attack Lucy.
And CLIFFHANGER! Sorry about that people. What'd you think of this chapter? Hope you enjoyed it. I'm gonna continue writing this and hopefully, it's more enjoyable. Anyway, next time, Ky finds Lucy, but also finds someone else, much to his surprise and it's a dark Keyblade wielder. I'll see you all in the next chapter. Take care and goodbye. Don't forget to review.
