My logic: In my limited vocabulary of Spanish, words with -a at the end usually are feminine words while those that end in -o are masculine. So Scorpio becomes Scorpia, even if that doesn't make any sense. You'll see what I mean in a second.
Don't let Erza fool you – read the name slowly. It's Ezra in here.
This one shot doesn't really fit in with the modern AU's, but it's still an alternate universe.
Title: Doblador de Género, which is a fancy way of saying Gender Bender in Spanish.
Summary: Gate of the merman, Aquarius, open!" "Tch, I was on a date with my girlfriend, Scorpia. Why do you always have to bother me, Lucky? Do you have a girlfriend yet? Hmm?" Or, in which everything and everyone in the world is completely reversed.
"Gate of the merman, Aquarius, open!" A twist of the golden key and one chant later, a large blue haired and blue tailed merman was floating in the air next to a blonde man all dressed up in a tux.
"Tch, I was on a date with my girlfriend, Scorpia. Why do you always have to bother me when I'm on a date, Lucky? Do you even have a girlfriend yet? Do you even know what dating means? Hmm?" the blue merman taunted.
"Can you read the situation here, Aquarius? I'm about to be killed by this mage right here!" Lucky, as the blonde young man was called, shouted. The villain in front of them was patiently waiting for them to finish their argument so she could beat the crap out of Lucky, but if Aquarius was going to do it for her, then why waste the energy?
The three – Lucky, Aquarius, and the female villain – were on a large ship slowly leaving port. Around them was several more woman supporting the backs and fainted bodies of men all dressed up as nice as Lucky.
Aquarius faced the female villain. "If you want to get rid of him, that's fine with me," Aquarius growled, ignoring Lucky's glare. "But I can't hurt my master on purpose, or else he would have been dead long ago."
"Don't give me attitude, Aquarius!" Lucky yelled. "Help me out here!"
"Tch. Pest."
"I feel like Odysseus when he faces Circe, except with no allies," Lucky muttered, having read the book on the train to the harbor they were currently leaving.
"Tch. Stupid bookworm."
"Hey!"
The enemy, a tall female with long purple hair and dark eyes, glanced down at her nails. Just yesterday, she'd had them done – and now she was going to have to fight this wizard herself? No thank you! She had a different plan in mind. "But Aquarius, if you want to get rid of Lucky, then I'll be your new master," the young woman tried.
Aquarius' eye twitched. His glare deepened. "Are you trying to flirt with me, you fool?" he said. The waves and surrounding ocean got choppier. "You don't even know Celestial magic! And you have no right to flirt!" The crew members glanced over the side of the boat warily, each one making sure her dress wasn't wet from the water starting to leak into the boat.
"Um, master...?" one of them started.
"After all," Aquarius hissed, "I already have a girlfriend!" Gripping his pot tightly, Aquarius swung it around as he yelled – and the waves complied as a huge one swept the boat back into the port, into the town, and into pieces. Lucky screamed as the waves washed over him, his tux torn. He washed up onto the beach with the wrecked ship behind him.
"Did I kill that scheming girl?" Aquarius fumed. Lucky got to his feet as he watched the floating mermaid glance around the ruined boat. "I can't believe she tried to flirt with me! Ugh!"
Just then, a person leaped down from the roof of a building. "Did you do this, Lucky?" the girl asked. With wild pink hair, a zipped up black vest, and baggy white pants, Natsa surveyed the wreckage.
"Aquarius did, actually," Lucky muttered. "I'm never going undercover again."
Two more people joined them, along with a flying animal. "This is worse than when I blew up the clock tower last week," Gracie said in amazement. Her white shorts, sports bra, and dark boots attracted plenty of looks from males, which she ignored as she weaved a hand through her short black hair.
"Hush!" Ezra growled as he stepped forward. One of the strongest wizards Lucky knew – if not the strongest – Ezra had dark eyes, fitted gray armor, smooth red hair, and a last name to match his hair.
"An old friend of mine gave me that name," he'd explained when they had asked why his last name was Scarlet. Bullshit, Lucky had thought. Ezra has a girlfriend.
"Focus on our mission!" Ezra barked. "Lucky! Where is the criminal Bora that we were supposed to catch?"
Lucky glanced down at his keys. Aquarius had gone back to the Spirit World as soon as Natsa, Gracie, and Ezra came over. "I don't know," he admitted. "Bora disappeared after Aquarius pushed the ship into the harbor."
"More like crashed," Gracie muttered coldly.
"I'm right here, boys!" Bora shouted as she emerged from the ship. Her dress was barley torn, her hair still curled. Lucky wondered how she'd even survived the attack – their client hadn't given them much information on her other than she was kidnapping innocents and using her ship to take them to another country as slaves. Was she a wizard?
"I'm afraid we'll have to take you in to the national police now," Ezra said.
"That's not going to happen, I'm afraid," Bora replied, tossing her purple hair the same way she had before Aquarius had destroyed her ship. If it didn't work the first time, try again!
"And why not?" Lucky asked. "We're four highly trained mages from Fairy Tail!"
"Because even wizards can burn!" And with that, she summoned several jets of flames that combined into one large ball that fanned out, engulfing Gracie, Lucky, and Ezra. Bora laughed as she watched the fire rage – and then thought, Wasn't there another one of them? I only saw three of them and that flying creature... Then she saw it – a human, standing in the flames. The outline of a person standing unharmed. Natsa waved at Bora and started to eat up the flames. "Thanks for the snack."
"What? What happened to my fire?!" Bora shrieked.
"Sorry, but I'm a Fire Dragonslayer! Your flames don't have any effect," Natsa said as the last bit of fire disappeared. Behind her Lucky, Gracie, the flying creature, and Ezra stood without a scratch or a burn on any of them.
"Great job, Natsa!" the flying animal - a blue feline with the wings of an angel - cheered, winking.
"Thanks, Happy." Natsa beamed at the cat. "Now to get rid of Flora!"
"Wait - get rid of - " both Bora and Lucky shouted at the same time.
"Don't kill her! Our client wants her alive!" Lucky growled.
Bora shrieked, "I'm too pretty to die! And it's Bora!"
Natsa, ignoring them, started his next spell. "With a flame on my left hand..."
Gracie winced. "I feel kinda bad for Bora now..."
"...And a flame on my right hand..."
"Natsa! Don't you dare!" Ezra yelled.
"...When you combine those flames together..."
"Holy shi - "
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Bora's curse was cut off by Natsa's giant flame that hurled towards her, swallowing up the fire mage. As it raged, the young men duped by Bora woke up and ran away from the site, and Bora's henchwomen quickly escaped as well. When the fire finally went out, Bora's dress was miraculously still left, but tattered beyond repair. Bora's hair was also singed.
"My - how - what -" the female villain gasped.
"How did she survive that?" Natsa pouted. "Damn it."
Lucky rolled his eyes as he walked forward. "Bora, we are Fairy Tail Wizards and we are here to arrest you for illegal slave trafficking, flirting, and theft... that's all of them, right?"
"I don't think flirting is a crime, Lucky," Gracie pointed out.
"As well as destroying properties, attempted murder, several cases of assault, and not having a license to operate a boat," Ezra added. He had requipped a sword and was holding it to Bora's gulping neck while glaring at Natsa. "Never disobey an order from me again, Natsa - or else."
Natsa flinched. "Aye - um - yes sir!" Happy landed on the teenager's head of long messy hair, her wings gone due to the timer wearing off. "I'm too scared to move..."
Just then, there was a shout. From a street leading downhill into the now damaged harbor, several of the Magic Council's troops were racing down to where the damage was worst. In other words, right to where the five members of Fairy Tail were with Bora.
"Halt!" a man in the lead yelled. "What in Fiore's name is going on - "
"Let's get out of here!" Natsa said, grabbing Lucky's wrist and pulling her to a different street. Gracie and Ezra followed, Ezra dragging Bora along with him. "Do not forget our prisoner!" he said.
"Right - right," Natsa puffed. "I'm out of shape, aren't I?"
Gracie said, "You always have been - you just figured that out now?"
"Shut up! And where's your excuse for a top?"
"Crap!"
Lucky rolled his eyes before covering them with his free hand until Gracie yelled, "Flame brain! It's still on!" Laughing, Lucky put down the same hand as Natsa grinned, Happy encouraged Natsa, and Ezra glared at both of them.
"Let's go back to Fairy Tail!" Natsa cheered.
That's all for now ^_^ If you have an idea for the next AU, feel free to leave a review.
