Hi all, had an extra hour so thought I'd write.

Thanks x1000 to blissfulme, SilvermistAnimeLover, a random fairy, Pretzel101, Lost Idea Alchemist, and sabbs123 for reviewing, and to all the people who took the time to read this story!

Don't own Fairy Tail, just my strange characters and plot nekos.

Blade: Oi! Why aren't the cats strange? Why meee?
Crypt: Go back to your realm. You's ain't supposed to be here.
Blade: Who are you?
Crypt: Ahh... Okay... you never saw me.

Here we go!

Chapter 5- As the Clock Ticks

Fairy Tail Guid Hall.

Same as you'd expect from Fairy Tail. Rowdy, loud, rambunctious and the usual alcoholic smell drifting through the air.

What wasn't explained was the unnoticed purple fog drifting around, densest in the guid hall. In fact, it was all over town.

Gildarts was walking back from his latest mission. Luckily, he hadn't sustained any serious injuries. A minor but grueling task: Perverted Vulcan infestations.

Walking through the long path the town had shifted into, he headed straight for the guild.

Immediately, he noticed the mist, getting denser as he walked closer to the guild. Looking up, none of the normal citizens seemed affected or seemed to notice. Casting as short protection spell, he proceeded.

Arriving, Gildarts felt a blast of the violet substance as he opened the guild doors. The fog was so thick he could barley see.

"Gildarts! You're back!" Natsu called from somewhere he couldn't see.

"Oi! I can't see! Where are you guys? What's up with all the purple fog drifting all over town?" He asked.

"You got something wrong with your eyes? I'm right infront of you." Natsu said, waving his hand infront of the older mage."

"Ah! Gildarts, welcome back. Come to my office for a minute will you? I have some paperwork for you." Master called from the stool he was sitting on near the bar.

"Paperwork? Seriously? I'm not Natsu." An angry shout was heard from the named person.

Gildarts noticed the stern tone used and followed. After earning some very strange looks from his guild mates after nearly tripping on everything on his way up, he closed the door. From what he could make out, the old man was standing on his desk.

"Down to business. You said there was a purple mist floating around town?" Master said.

"Yeah. And it's really really dense in here. Why can't you see it?" Gildarts asked.

"Must be concealment magic. Give me a minute, I'll go call Levy and Freed." Master left the room and returned shortly with the named mage.

"You wanted to see us master?" Freed asked.

"I need both of you to cast your strongest revealing spells." Master said, wearing a very serious expression.

Hesitating for a moment, then the two went to it. Levy chanted a few inaudible words and Freed drew various runes. After a short flash of light, a huge blast of murky dense mist was suddenly visible to all of Magnolia.

"What is this?!" Master said, suddenly unable to see three inches in front of him.

Somewhere.

Lucy watched as the five people in front of her had spontaneous panic attack.
Kin made a fortress of various diamond around herself.
Runen created a huge block of Ice and then sat ontop of it, hugging what looked like an snow-pillow.
Blade then started slashing the ice with a fire sword.
Midori decided to furiously cover everything in flowers, effectively burying all of them.
Aki was suddenly curled up in a ball in a box made of stars.

"Ah... Everyone alright?" Lucy asked, unable to decide between laughing or being plain confused.

"We now have to push the final plan like... 200 million years earlier! Yay~!" Midori said in a sing song voice.

"Final plan?" Lucy asked, watching the quick recovery of the rest as they stood.

"So much to explain today... Kin, would you record this so I don't have to make another long speech when the others come?" Aki asked, Kin then forming a solid block of silver.

"Blade, you do it, I'm tired." Kin said, floating upwards and making a platform to lay on.

"Why me?! You're the only one who knows most of it! Get down here!" Blade said, waving his fist at the floating platform.

"Dammit! Why is she the only one who can fly?!" He shouted.

"If you weren't such and idiot, you would just remember to use the fire as a vortex and levitate, or you could ask on of us nicely to make you a structure to get there." Midori pratically sang.

"Why you..."

Lucy merely watched as the burning heavens then started chasing the elixir of life, who was successfully tripping him every so often with a tree root. Runen decided to make it snow around him, Kin was making jewelry with the stack of jewels she created, and Aki was sleeping.

'120 million years of just doing this...' Lucy thought.

"Ah... Everyone...?" The newcomer meekly said.

"Cookie~?" Midori ran up to her and popped it in her mouth.

"Thank you. Um, can you please explain what this plan is?" Lucy asked.

Aki then started floating down.

"We'll begin now."

"Before we first got here, I saw the future about 300 million years away. And by no means was is pleasant. I am able to consider the actions of all beings and how that will,affect the future, then gaining a rough idea what it will be like." She began.

Kin then joined. "It wasn't by any means pretty. Demon ruled the land, shades, and surface world looked like the apocalypse. Less than 1% of humanity survived to that day, and after 5 years of re-calculating every day, the scene never changed." She said, still tinkering with the metals that looked to form an intricate pendant with a heart-shaped saphire in the middle.

Crossing his arms, still looking slightly pissed, Blade continued. "When we were still mortal, we decided to fight. About 7 years into the calculations, some idiot messing with inter-dimensional magic, or the first teleportation magic ripped the time-space continuum fabric and mushed a hell with this world."

"And then the evil demon things ate lots of people~! So then I punched a bunch of idiots and then came up with the idea to seal the demons in another dimension and fight them for eternity~!" Midori sang.

"We're practically the seal. What you see now is sort of a 'resting' dimension, not actually what this place looks like. Outside, I'll make you go insane if you're not prepared. When you people in the normal time stream have exceptionally hard times, drought, plague, etc. it's stuff leaking out of here." Runen added. Lucy stared in shock. They had been fighting? All 120 million years?

Aki then started again. "The plan to be initiated was... Even though we are immortal, we are still able to die in battle. This dimension we've been fighting in will only last another 200 million years, as we originally thought, so our descendants would have picked it up. Unfortunately, when this dimension breaks, all hell will spill out into the main world AND the other world called edolas. With you being summoned here, it won't last 2 years." She said in a grave tone, eyes shining.

"Ah... Here's the hard part. Lucy Heartfilia, as my reincarnation, you are next to take on this task. When the other four guardians are found, our souls will have been exhausted and will be fighting our last battle. It pains me to say it, but you and the other four will fight in the real world to save humanity. Millions will die." Lucy nearly fainted. H-her? The practical NON-FIGHTER?! Her idea was always: stay back, don't get in the way, heal injuries. That was her idea of her standpoint in battle.

Fighting for millions? Immortality? No way. No waaaay.

"I know you are hesitant, but no other can face this task. My blood run through your veins, and you will inherit great power." Aki's voice almost seemed to flow like water, pouring our things, she didn't exactly want to hear.

"G-give me a second. I'm still getting past the 'You have to fight to save the world and edolas' part. Who would my fellow guardian be anyways?" She asked, breathing heavily on the intake.

"Ah... Let me see. We decided to have more guardians in hope of having larger attack force. Natsu Dragneel, Fire Dragon slayer, to be the Burning Hevans. Lissana Strauss and Wendy Marvel to share the role Elixir of Life. Erza Scarlet and Gajeel Redfox to share the role of River of Jewels. Gray Fullbuster to be the Freezing Skies, and you to be the Sacred shine. I know you probably don't know any of these people, for it is very rare to come in contact-"

"No. Freaking. Way."

How'd you like it? I realize the end is a little predictable, but there's a future purpose for it. Please leave a review!
