The first smell Gray recognised was the smell of disinfectant. His nose twitched at the smell as he sniffed the air. The raven opened his eyes only to immediately close them. There was a bright light that surrounded him so he had to slowly open his eyes until he got used to the illuminated room.
The ice mage got up from the unknown bed he had been sleeping on to stand on the cold, tiled floor. He looked around the room now that he could see. There was a bed at the back right corner of the room leaning against a white wall. A small toilet was exactly opposite the bed and in front of all of that laid a black glass wall, which Gray was confused about.
This was crazy. Where the hell was he?
He walked up to the black glass wall and analysed it. He ran a finger down it trying to stay calm and then punched it to see how strong it was. When he heard it shake he smirked, amused at how strong the wall was. Not much of a match to him at all.
'I would prefer if you didn't do that.'
Gray turned around back to the black glass wall. When he could see that it was transparent and that a person was behind it, he was shocked. The ice mage gazed out to see who had talked.
A lab coat was nicely placed on a well built man. He had smart shoes on and clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other. The stranger looked back at him with blue eyes and smiled a nervous smile towards him. His bronze coloured hair shone in the same light that Gray's raven hair shone in and he seemed a little terrified of the ice mage.
Gray looked at him with clear confusion in his eyes. He clearly did not understand a word that the unusual man had said.
'Ok. I get it. Talk. What language do you speak?' the teen still looked at him bewildered so he lifted his hand to his mouth and did a talking hand action.
"Who are you? Where am I? Why can't I understand you?" Gray answered still not aware of his location and why he wasn't able to understand the man. In the whole Fairy Tail universe everyone spook the same language so he simply didn't understand why or how the other seemed to speak another.
'Oooooooohhhh, he speaks Japanese...hmmmm.' " I am Dr Brown." He tried introducing himself hoping he said it right. He only knew how to say certain things in every language to communicate with any subject he may have.
"I am Gray. Why am I trapped here? No, where is here?"
'I'm going to need to give him a translator.' The doctor said to himself whilst looking around the room. He didn't understand what the teen said once again and decided that now he would stop that from happening. It was getting on his nerves. 'I'll get one that makes everyone on this planet talk Japanese in his perspective and so that everyone else can understand him.' He continued to walk around the room looking for the universal translator he wanted to give to the ice mage.
Gray just looked at the man irritated that his question was not answered but decided to do something more useful than be mad at the other. The raven looked around the room once more and tried to use his ice make to create the Fairy Tail guild symbol. He succeed and the scientist saw him too. As the raven changed it to match the one on his chest, the scientist screamed looking for the translator more frantically. This was a breakthrough!
Once it was found he opened the door to the room in front of him that Gray was put in and forced the universal translator onto the mage's neck. The small metal square dug into his flesh securing itself there. The raven flinched but it really didn't hurt at all considering the pain he felt before when in Earth land. He had assumed that he was no longer there a minute ago due to all the strange factors that had been presented to him.
"OK, um. Can you understand me...Gray?" The scientist said hopefully.
"Yeah, I can. Now tell me where I am."
"Thank God..." The man whispered to himself. He walked in front of the mage straightening himself out to look presentable then looked into the raven's eyes.
"Ok, you are in a facility called London Science lab. We had made some kind of transportation technology and must have taken you from somewhere. I apologise but we need to experiment on you, for instance your...ice powers are remarkably unusual since none of our kind has any powers what so ever."
"First of all, it's called ice magic. Second of all, you have no right to experiment on me if you've taken me from my world. And third of all WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU PUT INTO MY NECK?!"
The scientist sighed.
"I put a universal translator into your neck so that you can pick up everything anyone on this planet says to you, so any language is understandable. And you will stay here because we have to learn about how you body works then we'll send you b-"
The ice mage swiftly made an ice sword and pressed it into Dr Brown's neck, laughing in an evil manner. "Send me back, now." He demanded pressing into the flesh of the others neck. "Would you seriously kill me if I told you I won't?" Gray glared at him coldly and then took a slash at his leg. Then dug the magical sword into the neck of the scientist once more.
"Arrrggghhh!"
"Yes. You see, I am not a very nice person when I'm angry, and a matter of fact neither are my friends so if you won't teleport me out of here,I'll kill you and find my own way back."
"Over here Natsu-kun!" The small blue haired girl shouted sniffing more of the air. The three dragon slayers had been attempting to locate Gray's smell for the past half hour, and still had not achieved.
His smell seemed to be coming from in and around the guil. It was difficult for even their dragon slayers noses to find out where the smell was strongest since it all seemed to smell the same.
"Gajeel come too! I think I found where the strongest smell is!"
After a moment the iron dragon slayer carried by Panther Lily rounded the corner he was sniffing to reach Wendy's location.
"You think?"
"I-i'm not so sure."
"Well show us!" Natsu said rounding the other corner impatient about the whole situation. He didn't realise how much he relied on the raven to keep him entertained on daily bases. And to be honest, he really missed him. The fire mage was also worried about how the Gray was doing and if he was in danger. This in turn caused him to want to find the other more quickly.
"Well, smell here."
"Doesn't smell much different from the rest of the guild." Gajeel said confused as he smelled the air.
"Yes it does! Smell a little to the left, you'll smell a different smell." He tried again but didn't succeed. "I don't smell anyt-"
"I do! There's someone else. The person-the people-the...my god" Natsu widened his eyes at what he's discovered. He was now so terrified for Gray it hurt.
"FLY ME TO LEVY HAPPY!"
"Aye!" The Exceed complied flying at a fast spread toward the guild entrance. Wendy looked at them scared at what the pinkette must have found to make him rush like that. She had noticed that Gray's smell was mixed with one other, so maybe the fire dragon slayer smelt more than one. Maybe it was a group.
"Kid, we gotta go after him before he starts going crazy on Levy." Gajeel said looking protectively but in question. The blue haired girl nodded and they both went inside the guild to find Natsu yelling at Levy about how he smelt billions of people with Gray.
"-and there were nice smelling people too!" Levy had a blanket covering her abdomen and below. She was sitting on one of the couches that had been recently bought and was gawping at the fire mage.
Lucy was standing up beside the sofa. The celestial mage had one hand in her blonde hair, and her terrified eyes staring at Natsu. Makarov had a bewildered face on as he also listened intently to what the teen was saying to them.
"Wait?! You're saying you could smell that there were...billions of people... billions mixed up with Gray's smell?! Are you serious?!" Lucy screamed in fright. It was not...possible.
"Yes!" Well, apparently it was.
"Natsu, what direction did the smell come from?" Levy asked trying to focus on a way to work out why there was this many people with Gray. If only she knew the universe he was in...
"North...um...ah! North-East." The blue haired girl got up throwing the blanket onto the couch she had just occupied and fetched a notebook and pen from behind the bar counter. "Ok, so when Evergreen and the rest get the information from the library we can see where Gray is potentially." They all nodded.
"How could Natsu smell all this when we couldn't?!" Gajeel said in frustration moving side to side on the floor he now stood on right next to Levy. Panther Lily, Carla and Happy were now on the table talking about the situation like the two dragon slayers were doing. The blue haired teen was too busy with Natsu to even notice that he had come in yet and Wendy was disappointed since it meant that she had to stop him from being negative.
"Gajeel-kun, we should be happy that we have a lead to find Gray-kun." The taller mage just huffed at that and began to talk to the Exceeds instead. Wendy sighed at his stubbornness and walked up to the master to talk to him."Master." The short man looked at her from his position on one of the tables. "Oh, hello Wendy. Are you ok?" The blue haired girl nodded shyly looking away as something saddening came to mind.
"What's wrong, girl?"
"I-I'm just embarrassed and sad that I...couldn't be of help in the search as all..."
"Oh, you were and you'll help even more 'cause the search isn't over yet."
"I know. I just wanted to make this bit of it fast-"
"Done!" the green haired teen rushed to Levy, interrupting her thinking about their next course of action. She looked up; looking visually taken aback then she let the word sink down into her mind.
"Great! Now bring the rune here!" Freed did as he was told and a rune appeared in front of him full of Gray's ice magic. Natsu, Happy, Carla, Wendy, Panther Lily, Gajeel, Lucy, Levy and even the master began to stare at the blue magic twirling around trapped inside of the rune.
Another tug at Natsu's heart came painfully. He grunted as his emotions began to overcome him as he watched the magic move around. "Why...why did they take him?" the fire mage whispered to himself a silent tear dropping down onto his cheek. The action was not noticed as it seemed that everyone was crowding around the rune analysing Gray's essence. Natsu went into a gaze as the blue haired teen began to take action.
"-analysing this with my magic an-"
"-re. Ok, I'll help too. I wonder how Laxus is doing-"
"-get him back guys!"
"-wonder if he's ok-"
"-a Fairy Tale mage, after all-"
"Natsu!" the pinkette snapped out of his gaze to see a worried friend shaking him as hard as she could. Everyone had slightly terrified looks on their faces as they looked upon him. "Natsu! Why are you...? Are you ok?" Lucy asked him as if he was an endangered animal with much concern in her voice.
The fire mage nodded confused at his friend's stares. He knew they would be scared for him if he zoned out since all of this is unusual to them and they probably were terrified that he was being taken away like...Gray but the reason that they were so terrified was because...
The right side of Natsu's body had faded away.
"What?!" The white haired mage screamed on the train back to Magnolia accompanied by Juvia and Erza.
"He's been taken?!" He shouted at the two females. Juvia looked as if she was about to cry yet Erza did not feel even the slightest bit threatened. The scarlet haired teen put her hand in the air effectively calling Bickslow's baby toward her hand and asked it to connect with the guild. By adding her magic power, she guessed it would work quite soon. Erza was trying to concentrate on doing just that but couldn't because of Gray's brother's screaming. She had had enough of his screaming.
After getting off of the train to Lamia scale they just ran in and snatched Lyon and began to run back to the train station not telling him anything, and since the armoured beauty was much more stronger than him he didn't have a chance at pulling away. Juvia had suggested that they should have been more polite but the Erza, that wasn't necessary. Since Gray was out of their universe being put through whatever.
"Hey, Scarlet, what are you doing?! I'm talking to the both of you! What happened to Gray?!" He shouted at Erza, who just wanted to beat him to a pulp, but continued to add her magic power into the baby as Juvia tried to explain things to Lyon.
"Lyon-sama, Gray-sama has possibly been transported to another universe by an unknown souce. We don't know how but suddenly as Natsu-kun was fighting with Gray-sama, he disappeared and Juvia doesn't know what to do to bring him back. Levy-san is the one who is working on a plan to bring him back but now Juvia is trying to find out where he is or where he was transported from. Please Lyon-sama," The rain mage held Lyon's hand in a begging fashion and asked"will you help Juvia to find Gray-sama?" she asked in a shaky voice, tearing up yet again.
"Pft. Of course I will. If miss rude here would have told me that before I would have calmed down." He gestured to Erza with his finger and the blue haired teen just sighed sitting more comfortably in the train chair next to Lyon.
"Lyon...he disappeared right in front of me... do you know how that feels?" The armoured beauty whispered to him. The only male looked up to her with saddened eyes as she spoke.
"I mean...he could have been...experimented on...tortured...killed...all because he was different from them...all because we didn't know someone would do that to our a FairyTail mage as powerful as Gray...all because I wasn't ready enough to save him...this shows you how weak I a-"
"Hey look mum it's Titania!" A young brunette let go of her mother's hand and ran into the train that they were boarding. The train to Magnolia. Erza's emotional face turned away from the child looking into the window not wanting the girl to see her like this but unlike her mother who was trying to catch up she was oblivious to the awkward feeling that Lyon, Juvia and Erza was feeling.
"Titania, Hi I'm Hannah!" Erza looked at the girl slowly trying to recover from what she never thought she would say until back then when Jellal was possessed. Ashamed but wanting to make Hannah happy she turned around and put on her best fake smile. At first all the younger did was stare at her until Juvia felt the need to step in.
"Um, little girl could yo-"
"Wow!" Erza stared blankly as the girl held onto the pole next to the scarlet's chair so that she wouldn't fall down when the train began to move again. A grin was spread all over her face and her eyes sparkled with inspiration.
"You're so cool! You pretend to be happy but you're not and that's awesome because it means that you're not trying to ruin some people's good moods! That is so amazing! You're super pretty but super strong and everyone obeys you! I'm so happy to see that you have emotions so that I can prove the other kids at my school. They say that you're just a robot but I knew, I knew..." Hannah grabbed onto the armoured beauty's other arm eyes sparkling in awe and ran to sit down next to her. She grinned at Erza.
"Awwww..." Juvia smiled looking at how that just those little girl's words cheered her enough to have a smile on her face. This was a rewarding thing to see.
Once Hannah's mother appeared and came to hit her daughter and drag her away, with much difficulty, all three decided to input power towards connecting with the guild and because they all were so powerful together, they were able to talk to Levy with ease but that what they heard wasn't a positive. Oh no.
"Natsu's half invisible; I just don't know what to do." Three pairs of eyes widened.
"Nope! He doesn't know anything either!" the youngest transformation mage told the other three. She was currently a pink and purple bunny because she thought it would hopefully attract the animals in Edolas to her. She did but they all were unaware of what had happened to the ice mage.
"Seriously, this is starting to take a while..." Mira sighed looking around the field that her siblings, Droy, and Jet were searching in. The white haired beauty looked around to see if anymore living beings were here and came across this fuzzy looking creature. It had red hair which wrapped around its entire body but still stuck out which was unusual. Its pink nose was small and it had but only two hind legs which she assumed that it used them for running or bouncing. She walked over to it and crouched down to touch a little fuzzy animal's nose. It's nose twitched and looked at her with big sapphire eyes, she tried to speak to it, only to have it bounce away from her.
"The animals on this planet are not at all manly!" Elman declared irritated at the lack of results. They needed to bring back Gray now! It was just a case of how manly they all were.
"Not true, they just don't know. Come on, tell us where Gray is little animals!" Droy replied then wondered around for answers. The others looked away from him trying to ignore the way he was behaving on this mission, if you were to call it that, and continued digging for information on the ice mage's disappearance.
Jet was running in high speed to look for another location for them to vacate. He ran around endless amounts of planets and found a few which he had told Mira about.
"To the south-east there's an ice planet, it's a good place to go for information but it's temperature is below 0 degrees."
"That's fine; I can deal with the cold. Lisanna, Elfman and Droy...I don't know if they'll be able to handle it."
"They might have to stay there. Because I was running so fast I could heat myself up but otherwise I won't be able to handle it myself." Jet sighed. He looked up to the sky thinking of a better solution. This situation was terrible. It was just ruining the guild and made no sense to be happening according to Jet. He wondered how Levy was doing too. And Gray for that matter.
"Well, I don't think we can use is if only you and I ask the animals, especially since I am the only one out of us too that has experience talking to animals." How were the others meant to help on this ice planet if it was so cold? She thought that the orange-haired mage might have to search for another useful planet for them to check out.
Elfman, Droy and Lisanna had been watching the other two having this long conversation. After speaking to the remainder animals left, they just awaited instruction from the other two. "Come on guys. What ya talking about for it to take so long." The white haired teen said as she watched her older sister talk to Jet. She had untransformed from the rabbit and was standing inpatient. The other two silently gazed over at the other two though Elfman was visualbly irritated.
It was just when Lisanna was about to complain about how long they were taking to talk Levy's voice suddenly sounded in her ear. Relaying the same message as Erza, Juvia and Lyon got.
"He's half gone...half of his body is gone... disappeared. Natsu might leave like Gray...I'm...not sure what to do..."
Hope you liked it. Next chapter will be about Gray in London/Hackney really and Natsu's...problem?
