Sorry for the long wait minna! This is a ff I'm writing with my friend, who is really busy. We won't be able to update very often, generally about once or twice a month. Anyway hope you enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own FairyTail or Attack on Titan.
Aka's POV
I started to hurry up and get to the edge of the ruins where I was supposed to meet Wendy and her friends. The sun was starting to set and I really didn't want to be late. I skidded to a stop, looking around. Suddenly my eyes opened wider as I realised that the Fairy Tail mages probably disappeared like all the other teams we sent.
Tears welled up in my eyes, even though I knew it wasn't my fault they decided to go on this mission I still felt responsible for leading them to this awful place. I knew that it was probably hopeless, but I still wanted to get stronger so that someday I would be able to save the people lost here. I sighed and turned around, starting to head back to Rose. I knew that if I wasn't there by midnight I would end up a sacrifice, just like everyone else in Rose I had the curse that held our people to the town.
It was then that I felt something off; so I turned to look at the ruins. There at the top, the cherry tree was piecing itself back together. I raised an eyebrow, this place was creepy. I turned and started running faster, away from the place that had taken all of my friends. Of course I knew that they hadn't really vanished, they were being kept somewhere. They had to be, and I would find out where.
Erza's POV
The people with the brown jackets were swinging towards us on what looked like little wires attached to their waists. I analyzed them, and seeing as they were native's of this world I assumed they could help us. I requipped into my normal Heart Kreuz armor as they landed. I was surprised Wendy had talked to Kirito and Asuna, but I wasn't sure how these people would react to her.
When they landed I started hearing little whispers coming from them and one of them pointed at me. I assumed they had never seen magic as they lived in this odd world. I narrowed my eyes and stepped forwards at the same time as Wendy. I motioned for her to step back and she did.
"Hello, we mean you no harm, please lower your weapons." I noticed that some of them had pulled out their swords from little sheaths on either sides of their waists. It did not seem smart to just tell them we were from another world, they seemed slightly hostile and jumpy and I was sure that would set them off. "I am afraid me and my friends here have become terribly lost, could you tell us where we are?" I thought it seemed like a good question, but they all gasped and most of them looked even more on edge than before.
"Lost? We just watched you appear on top of Wall Maria! You don't 'get lost' and end up in titan territory!" One of them shouted towards the back. He had dark blond hair and pale green eyes. I shifted my gaze to him as others around him started either nodding their head slightly in agreement or looking embarrassed at their teammates outburst.
"Titans? Is that what those monsters were?" Natsu asked from the behind me. This got a collective gasp from the group of people. Once again I heard whispers, but this time they were centered around being oblivious to titans. Then I heard the word amnesia and decided that would be a good excuse. It would probably lessen their hostility.
"Yeah, have you been living under a rock your whole life Pinky?" Another of the people called out, this time a petite female with stunning blue eyes and light reddish hair. She sneered as Natsu winced at the nickname. His face darkened and I knew that the blue eyed female was in trouble. Gray had often called him pinky due to his hair, and now with Gray gone…
"YOU BITCH! HOW DARE YOU?!" Natsu roared as he charged the poor woman. I didn't even try to stop him, I wanted to smash her face in just as bad as he did. I suppose this threw all attempts at negotiating with these people after all. As he got closer the people raised their swords, only to have them melt into puddles of shining liquid when he lit his body on fire.
"WING ATTACK OF THE FIRE DRAGON!" Too late I realised these people were not mages and the blow would probably kill most of the ones near the unfortunate female. I sighed and ran up to Natsu requipping to my flame empress armor. As I said, it was too late to stop him from killing the blue eyed bitch but the ones around her could be saved. I ran faster, tossing them as far away from Natsu as I could. Then I gave the burning woman one of my death glares and whispered 'do not insult our deceased nakama, or you shall face our wrath'. With that I returned to a spot near the other brown jackets.
"Now, no interruptions unless you want to end up like her." I stated gesturing towards the flaming corpse that was once a lovely young woman. "We came from the titans side of the wall because we fell from our home world of earthland after one of us," I glared at Natsu who was just staring at his hands over the flaming corpse, "destroyed an important tree. So far we have lost three of our number to those demons you call titans. We were told to join something called the survey corps, so where can we do that?" I ended looking at the now somber group of people. A tall male with black hair and brown eyes stood up then.
"I don't want end up like 'Dria so I'll tell you. You just gotta go to military school for a couple years then you can join that group of idiots. I'll guide you." He smirked and jumped off the wall towards the side inhabited with humans before signing off on his waist-wires. I requipped into my flight armor and raced down the side of the wall after him. On my way I grabbed Kirito and Asuna who seemed completely clueless and as baffled as the brown jackets did. Happy lifted Natsu and I thought I heard him mumble something before grabbing Wendy too.
I weaved between buildings hearing gasps from the puzzled civilians as we flew by following the brown eyed man until he finally landed outside a small building with those same odd characters from the tree scrawled on a sign hanging above its door.
"Here ya go. Just go on in this building and talk to the guy at the desk. Then you can go join the useless idiots of the Survey Corps." He waved slightly and left. I snorted and led the new Team Natsu inside the building. It was tiny, all it held was a small desk and a couple of chairs. Wendy walked up to the desk before I could stop her.
"Hello sir," She said to the tall bald man behind the desk, "We are here to join the military. Where do we sign up?" The aging man behind the desk looked at her in a mix of shock and utter bewilderment.
"Are you sure you want to do that miss? I'm not sure if you're suited for the military." The man replied to her. Wendy glared at him.
"Yes I'm positive. So where do we sign up?" He handed her several sheets of paper.
"Just have you and your friends fill that out and you're good to go. We'll ship you off with the next batch of recruits." Wendy walked back to us and handed us the sheets. They were simple and didn't ask for much. I started filling out the short questionnaire and when I finished I handed it back to the man. I saw that Wendy, Kirito, and Asuna had already turned theirs in. Natsu was almost done and Happy was sniffling on Natsu's shoulder.
I sighed and picked Happy off Natsu's shoulder and walked to the man again.
"You forgot one." I told him. He looked at me like I was insane, and I gave him a death glare. He seemed unaffected so I sighed.
"You forgot me! WAAAAAAA!" Happy exclaimed, even more emotional than usual. Though he was annoying, he had good reason for his current over sensitivity, so I didn't chastise him for it. The mans face morphed to one of complete shock after he heard Happy speak though.
"What are you!?" He asked Happy.
Happy frowned and sniffled some more, fresh tears sliding down his stained cheeks. "I am an exceed, currently t-the o-only-y on-ne in thi-this wor-world." By the end you could barely understand the poor exceed due is uncontrollable sobbing. The bald man looked baffled before quietly handing the sobbing exceed his form. Happy then turned to me, his cries of anguish quieting somewhat and asked me why the sheet didn't mention magic type if it was for the military. I sighed softly and started to explain to him that this world didn't have magic while the man started looking at us like we were insane again.
"M-magic? Isn't that something in children's stories?" The man asked. "I'm afraid that the military doesn't stand for such childish things." It was our turn to look at him as though he were insane.
"What do you mean magic is only found in children's stories? All of us are mages." Natsu said, lifting his arm on fire for a few seconds. The man's eyes widened beyond belief. I allowed some tears to well up in my eye, magic had been useless in this world. I quickly stifled them when I saw Kirito gaze my way and whisper something to Asuna, who just nodded slightly and looked at me pityingly. I most certainly did NOT want pity.
"How did you do that?" He asked the pinkette.
"Magic." Natsu said, he generally would have done his trademark grin here but his attempt was glaringly fake, and the fact that Natsu couldn't even smile properly almost brought those tears back into my eyes.
"So, whens our first mission?" I asked, masking my sadness with my usual stern tone.
"Mission? You won't get those for a while, several years. Ya gotta go to military training first." The man said in the same tone, though his was far more convincing than my own.
"When do we leave for training?" I asked, continuing my facade.
"Now." The man said, and led us to a wagon that was pulling up outside the small building. We hopped on and Natsu started groaning.
"W-whyyyyy? The vehicles here are worse than the ones back on earthland!" He sighed, then put a hand to his mouth and fell over in agony. A young boy with a blonde bowl cut walked up to us.
"Is he okay?" The boy said, pointing to the agonized Natsu. He looked about Wendy's age, maybe a tiny bit older. I looked around and realised I was older than pretty much everyone there. I was surprised that people so young were joining the military.
Natsu shook his head and groaned some more. I sighed and punched him, he was knocked out instantly. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded being knocked out myself, it would prevent the onslaught of dark thoughts and once happy memories plaguing my mind.
"He should be fine. He just has terrible motion sickness." I said to the boy, whose eyes were wide in shock and slight fear. Wendy attempted a smile, it was but a ghost of the cheery grins she held in the past.
"Hi, I'm Wendy. The red haired girl is Erza and the pink haired boy she just knocked out is Natsu. The oddly silent boy with black hair is Kirito and the orange haired girl with him is Asuna," At this point Kirito looked startled and Asuna just kinda waved, "The blue exceed is Happy."
"Why is he happy? Whats his name?" The boy asked. "Oh, oops. My name is Armin."
"He isn't happy, he actually is probably quite sad at the moment. His name is Happy." Wendy held out her hand, "Nice to meet you Armin." Armin shook her hand right as a dark brown haired boy with green eyes walked up.
"Who are these people?" The boy asked, looking at us. I thought for a moment.
"Hello. We call ourselves Team New World." I started, liking the way it sounded. The other members of the newly named Team New World nodded.
"Team New World? Oh do you want to change the world too? Maybe you can help us, we want to defeat the titans once and for all." The boy stated, his somber tone matching Wendy's. I could tell this boy had been through death and hardship, he seemed like someone who would be a good ally. Wendy nodded softly in response to his question, the rest of us following her lead. I could tell Wendy was depressed, but I also thought she was adjusting to the situation better than the rest of us. The only thing that set her apart from the other kids here was her hair. We'd all have to change our hair as it was obvious that this world did not have hair colors like ours.
"Yeah, we lost some of our friends to the titans not long ago. We seek vengeance and hope to eliminate the titans by joining the Survey Corps." As I finished my statement I noticed a look of sympathy and a flare of determination in the boys eyes.
"Looks like we have something in common, the titans have taken many of the ones I care about as well." His face darkened, I could tell he was remembering something from the past, but he quickly looked up and attempted a smile, "I'm Eren Jaeger, nice to meet you." he said. I smiled sadly, I felt he understood how I was feeling, this comforted me a little. That was when I noticed an older girl next to him, her expression looked much like mine did as a child. I had to wonder what horrors she had faced to get to that point.
"Hello." I said walking up to her. She didn't respond. "I see we have something in common." She looked slightly surprised.
"And that would be?" She asked.
"It seems we both have people we would sacrifice our lives for. I suppose we also both have a dark past."
"It seems so." She stayed silent for a while.
"So, whats your name?" I asked her.
"Mikasa. And you?" Mikasa stated.
"Erza." We sat there in an oddly comfortable silence for the rest of the ride to the military training camp. This girl reminded me of my self, I could see many qualities in her that others have said I possess.
Wendy's POV
When Ezra was walking off to talk to some dark haired girl I started talking to Armin again. He was really nice, and he was really curious about the outside world. He seemed like someone I could trust eventually. He seemed fascinated by everything, and kept asking me questions, which was starting to get very annoying. Finally he stopped talking and I decided to ask him some questions.
"So, Armin. Why do you wanna join the military?" This question had been bothering me for a while now. The boy was obviously smart enough to go on and get a job that had lower risk and most likely higher pay as well.
"Revenge. The titans killed my entire family. Also, to be free. I hate living like mindless cattle, trapped inside these walls waiting to be slaughtered. What about you?" He ended with another question.
"The titans killed three of my family, and dragged me into this mess. They took my best friend and the only one I had left from my childhood." I said. I had noticed I beginning to talk in a similar tone to Erza, except darker and more monotone. Armin noticed this and didn't ask anything else. I was glad for the silence, and I closed my eyes, trying not to relive the memories I held with my teammates while also holding on to them with all my might. I refused to die in this world, I would make it home and I would bring my nakama with me. I wouldn't let anyone else die while I was there. Never again.
Sorry for the shorter chapter, I've been really busy. Please tell us what you think, we haven't seen any fanfiction like this and we wanna know what you think. :)
