Anyone notice that most of my bad guys are from the Starry Sky arc? I will be introducing another character but I'll be making her slightly younger than the age I think she is in the anime. I'm sorry if it seems odd, but the only other character I have in mind, is appearing later on in the story. that, and she's the only one I can picture looking like a child and then morphing into a teenager. Sooo in other words, she's Fairy Tail's version of Mizune.

Please R&R and DISCLAIMER: I do not own Fairy Tail, if I did, NaLu would SO be happening.

A sound soul

Dwells within a sound mind

And a sound body

The last thing she remembers is falling down a coffin induced hole and then landing on her ass a few seconds later. When she heard a few more grunts, she opened her eyes and looked around. Weapons may pay more attention during battle but it was the meisters that landed on their feet.

What she also noticed was that they were all in their normal clothing. She looked down and sighed in disappointment. Bye-bye sexy dress, hello black tank, dark grey skinny jeans, and black combats.

"Damn" Lucy muttered. Erza, seeing the look on her face and understanding, chuckled. "Wait," Lucy started, "If we're in these clothes, where are our other ones?" she wondered.

Mira stood up, "Probably at home," she said. After Lucy, Jellal, and Juvia stood up, Gildarts took charge.

"We need a plan," he said.

"I agree," Erza started, "I think Gildarts and Mira should go after Angel, first of all."

Gildarts shook his head in agreement, "Exactly what I was thinking. But the only concern I have with that is Imitatia" he finished.

"Her name is Michelle," Lucy spoke up.

"How do you know that?" Mira asked, surprised.

"She told me," Lucy said and left it at that.

"As I was saying. I'm worried about Im- Michelle. I don't want Natsu and Lucy going after her after what happened," Gildarts said.

"We can do it. We've gone after her again and left without a scratch. Let us fight her" Natsu said, fire burning in his eyes. Gildarts sighed and gave in, to which Natsu smiled in triumph.

"Then that leaves us, Gray. Who do you want to fight?" Erza asked.

"Velveno. For some reason, he just pisses me off" he responded, Juvia smiling in encouragement.

Erza grinned, "Then that leaves us Mary," she said to Jellal, who nodded in response.

"Now that we have our marks, let's go!" Gildarts said.

"And be safe" Mira added.

After they had split up with the others, Natsu and Lucy quickly ran into Michelle. Great, Natsu thought glumly, it's to early to do this shit...

"Michelle-" Lucy started but got cut off.

"Don't listen Imitatia. Kick their asses and get back to Angel!" Midnight shouted, making said girl cry.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Stop yelling, I can't deal with yelling!" Michelle exclaimed.

Lucy really didn't understand it. Why did Midnight yelling at Michelle make her mad? It's like there's this strange connection between the two. A connection that scared Lucy. Not because it's with Michelle. But... because it's a foreign feeling that she hasn't felt since her parents died.

"Midnight scream resonance," Michelle said, giving in to his bullying. Midnight evilly laughed.

"NO! Lucy, transform!" Natsu shouted. She did and Natsu rushed towards Michelle, slashing at her. To his disappointment, she dodged. But to his pleasure, the scream resonance didn't go through. Michelle launched at him, narrowly missing his ear as Natsu dodged. He then brought Lucy up and swung her towards Michelle's left side. She blocked with Midnight and jumped back, creating distance between her and Natsu.

"Your good" Nastu said, breathing heavily.

"Your not bad yourself" she said back in the same condition as her opponent.

"We wont win this way. We need to resonate!" Lucy told Natsu, who nodded.

"Let's go SOUL RESONANCE!"

Natsu then swung the new Lucy in different angles and the sharp gusts of air went rushing towards Michelle. She was able do dodge all of them except one that lightly scratched her cheek. With dull eyes, she quietly said, "Midnight, scream resonance."

A high pitched scream filled the room, causing Natsu to drop Lucy and her to transform back, both covering their ears. Michelle walked up to Natsu and kicked him, sending him flying across the room and into the wall, leaving a dent.

"Natsu!"

"Are we there yet, Gray-sama?" Juvia asked.

Gray sighed in frustration, "For the tenth time Juvia, no we are not." Juvia dipped her head low, sad that Gray was frustrated with her. He noticed and smiled lightly, nudging her with his elbow. "I'm sorry, Juvia, that was unca- what's that?" he asked her.

Juvia looked in the direction Gray was pointing. And, oddly enough, there was Mary with Velveno and another person that they hadn't seen up top. She looks to be about ten years old with long, messy pink hair covering her left eye. She's wearing a long white dress that flares out like flower pedals. Around her waist is a silk green sash with a pink rose in the center.

"Juvia wants to know who that is" she said. She was confused. Why would there be a little girl working with witches? Unless she was a witch, but still, she's never seen a witch this young before.

"I agree" Gray said. Without having to be told, Juvia suddenly transformed into her signature dark blue street machine pistol form. Gray shooted in the the enemy's direction as he ran towards them. Hopefully I can take these guys and it will be over, he thought. But that was wishful thinking, wasn't it?

Of course it was!

The mystery girl somehow conjured up a flower, jumped in it, and then disappeared into the floor, while still in the flower.

"Cosmos! Damn you, you bastard! You scared her off!" Mary yelled, "Velveno, go after her. I'll, like, totes deal with this prick" Mary said darkly.

"Gotcha" Velveno replied, running in the opposite direction that Gray and Juvia came in.

Damn, I guess me and Erza are gunna have to switch targets, Gray thought with disdain and he shot at Mary. He expected her to dodge them and then attack them back. What he didn't expect? Her to just stand there and laugh, not moving a single inch.

"Why are you laughing at me!? And why didn't my bullets hit you?" Gray demanded.

"Holy Tact," Mary said, conjuring up a creepy, disfigured wooden hand with its index finger pointing out slightly further.

The heck is that, Gray wondered. Mary, seeing his face and confusing it with a look of amazement, held her head up high and smiled triumphantly.

"Like my wand? It can totes do some amazing things, y'know! Like..."

Gray tuned her out. What was with her way of talking? She sounded stuck-up almost. Besides, a wand? Seriously? He didn't know about other worlds, but in their world, witches didn't use wands, they used animals. But if that were the case, then the child, Cosmos, wouldn't have conjured a plant and escaped through it.

Wow, he realized, there sure were types of witches that people didn't know about... he'd have to remember to tell Makarov when he got back up top.

"... Isn't that, like, totes awesome or what? Are you even listening to me!?" Mary shouted.

"Huh? What?" he said, sweat-dropping. Crap. He looked at Juvia, who shrugged in return. Gray groaned, Great, she wasn't listening either.

"Why you... I don't like being ignored. You'll totes pay for tuning me out." Mary hissed. Then, Gray felt his hand to towards his head. The hand with Juvia in it...

"What's going on?" he asked worriedly, the gun now pressed against his temple.

"This is my magic. If you were paying attention, you'd, like, know about it" Mary replied, grinning like a mad-man. Gray then got worried, especially as his finger slowly started to pull the trigger...

Erza usually didn't complain, but she figured this time would be an exception. She was mad that things didn't work out her way, especially since out of the two, she called "dibs" on the one she originally wanted.

So why the hell was Velveno in front of her instead of Mary? And with a little girl, no less! Speaking of the girl, who was she? Erza didn't see her upstairs.

"Crap. Cosmos," said girl looked up at him,"I need you to go ahead and commence with the plan, Ok? Can you do that?" he asked in such a soft tone, it shocked Erza. Cosmos shook her head softly and ran further down the tunnel.

"You wouldn't mind telling me what the plan is, would you?" Erza asked, jokingly.

Velveno laughed softly, "Sorry."

"It was worth a shot" she replied.

"Where's Mary?" Jellal asked, shocking Erza. Yeah, he wasn't stupid. He knew who his meister wanted to fight.

"Fighting some guy. He made her mad by scaring Cosmos off and wanted to teach him a lesson. Poor bastard" he answered.

"What kind of weapon did he have?" after all, she needed to know who to pummel for stealing her desired opponent.

"Mhmm... it was a gun."

Gray... Jellal almost felt bad for him.

"That's all I needed to know. Thank you. Now then, shall we start our battle?" Erza asked. Without having to be told, Jellal transformed. Velveno grinned and took a fighting stance. Without warning, Erza dashed towards him, appearing in front of him in a second and slashed at him. As fast as Erza was in front of him, he was behind her.

Velveno punched at Erza's back,but she dodged and slashed upward at him. Unluckily for her, he dodged, too. He then jumped into the air and drop-kicked Erza, sending her crashing down onto the rocky floor. She rolled out of the way as he tried to attempt it again and then slashed at his feet as they made contact with the ground, missing the left one entirely but leaving a deep gash in his right ankle. Velveno hissed loudly in pain as he jumped back to create distance between him and Erza.

"That hurt," Velveno gritted towards her.

"It hurts being drop-kicked onto rock," Erza flatly retorted. Suddenly, Velveno grinned as he was surrounded by a bright light. "Your a wizard!?" she asked, shocked.

Velveno breathed a laugh, " No, I'm not. I'm an escaped convict that just-so-happens to know how to use a little bit of magic. You should feel honored, you get too see my magic- not many do."

"Oh?" Erza raised an eyebrow, "And what kind of magic may that be?" she wondered.

"You'll see," he grinned as a sword flashed out of nowhere and landed in his hands. What was odd about it was...

"How!?" Erza asked, shocked. The sword in his hands was a perfect replica of Jellal.

"I introduce, my magic," he mock-bowed, "It allows me to perfectly copy my opponents weapons and abilities."

Erza was shocked. She's never heard of a power like the one Velveno has. She also wasn't used to men knowing how to use a witch's power. It shocked her, and she doesn't get shocked so easily- the only time she was this shocked was when she found out Lucy had black blood and was keeping it to herself.

"Jellal, we have to end this quickly," she whispered to the reflective image of her partner. He nodded in agreement before they shared a look they both knew quite well.

"Let's go SOUL RESONANCE."

After that was done, Erza heard Velveno laugh. She looked cruelly towards him and glared, "What's so funny?"

he stopped laughing and started grinning, "Remember when I said weapons and abilities?" before she could reply, he said,"Well, Let's go... SOUL RESONANCE!"

Gildarts was worried about them. He knew he didn't have to be, but he always did, he couldn't help it! Throughout his and Mira's journey of running to find Angel, he couldn't help but let his mind wander off and think about the brats.

"I know how you feel, Gildarts. But we have to trust them! I can hear a few dull sounds, so that means they're already fighting," Mira said, using her super weapon hearing and trying to pull the older meister out of his worries. Fortunately, her efforts helped said meister. Unfortunately, they made her wonder about her friends.

She was worried just like Gildarts, but she had to have confidence in them. In fact, Mira was one of the very few people in the entire academy that had complete faith in the rowdy bunch- mainly because she knew that they would always get their job done, no matter how long it took them.

The only others she knew of that had the same faith as her were, surprisingly, the headmaster, Levy, and Gildarts, even though he tries to act like he doesn't, which Mira finds funny. Just as she was trying to suppress a giggle, Angel came out of one of the walls and roundhouse kicked Gildarts. To no avail, of course, since he was only moved a couple of inches. He grabbed Angel's ankle, pulled her back, and threw her as easily as he would a baseball. Also to no avail, since she twisted in midair and elegantly landed on her feet.

"Wow, I knew you were strong, but not this strong. One of those kicks usually sends the receiver flying across the room," Angel noted.

"Then you must be used to fighting weaklings 'cause that kick was pretty pathetic," Gildarts replied, a devious grin on his face.

Mira sweat-dropped, "Please don't antagonize her," she pleaded. Angel would already be hard enough to beat, they didn't need more fuel added to the fire in their situation.

"I'll show you," Angel hissed as the white snake tattoos slithered off her arms and slithered at high speed towards Gildarts and Mira.

Again, I am SO SORRY! I really don't mean to be late on the updates, I just... kinda forget...

Your probably thinking, "Wow that's a lame-ass excuse" but that's all I have to say about it. And I already hate myself because of it so you don't need to make the matter any worse!

my bad on shortening Natsu and Gildart's fight, I was the next chapter will have a longer version of em! I actually shortened this a smidge so I could update already.

And I am still on writer's block with No Ordinary Girls. And, as mentioned in I Promise, Heated argument too me over a year to write cause I SO cannot write Lemons worth a damn. So it will take time, but I do have a good bit typed.

Again, sorry.

Until Next Time!
