Chapter 17: The Stage Is Set
Thankfully the thing didn't attack during the middle of the night. Chopper and Sakura both stayed at the guildhall over night watching over the three that needed it.
The rest of them had breakfast at the Thousand Sunny. Luffy and Naruto ate their breakfast very quickly.
"All right you ready!" said Luffy.
Naruto nodded.
Both of them started to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Nami.
"Just something we want to do before either everything gets fixed or destroyed." Said Naruto.
"We'll meet you at the guild hall." Said Luffy.
Both of them left.
"Does anyone else get the feeling their going to do something stupid?" asked Sasuke.
"I might have an idea… said Robin.
"What?" asked Isaribi.
"Was it just me or does the cat fist sound like something Garp would do?" asked Robin.
With the exception of Brook and Fu they all realized that yes… that does sound like something Garp would do.
At the Tendo Residence those that lived there eating breakfast.
"Oh my, I hope Azusa is all right." Said Kasumi.
"But Robbie is the one I'm worried about,." Said Fluttershy, "He's not a marital artist…"
"I think I heard he brainwashed Wendy into not breaking up with him." said Akane.
"Seriously?" asked Rainbow Dash.
However that was when they noticed a cute little fox scamper in.
"Oh hello there!" said Fluttershy.
However she got a strange feeling from the fox, as if it wasn't a real fox, yet at the same time it was.
"It just me or is the fox glaring at me." Signed Panda Genma.
Indeed the fox was glaring at him.
The of lunged at him suddenly turning into Naruto and punched Panda Genma in the face.
"What the hell!" signed Panda Genma once he recovered from the punch.
Only for a rubbery punch to hit him from outside.
Indeed that punch was from Luffy.
Both of them quickly ran away.
Everyone eating breakfast watched the two pirates running away.
"Well… that happened." Said Nabiki.
'You think is has something to with the cat fist?" asked Ukyo.
"Eyup." Answered Applejack.
Meanwhile at the Guild Hall Azusa had woken up.
"Can I please use the stethoscope so I can check your heart rate." Said Chopper who was in his big foot like form so that he could check up on her knowing her bizarre form of kleptomania.
"But Azusa wants Peter!" cried Azusa.
Chopper sighed.
Sakura who was rebranding Makarov sighed under her breath, "She was more tolerable possessed."
Makarov laughed at this.
That was when Robbie woke up groaning.
"What happened and why does it fell like I was hit by a truck?" he muttered.
"You were possessed by an evil entity and someone had to beat out of you." Said Makarov.
"Yeah right." Said Robbie.
"It's true." Said Sakura finishing bandaging Makarov.
She got out of the examination equipment.
"All right! Since you're awake it's time for examination." Said Sakura.
Seriously…" said Robbie.
"Seriously." Said Sakura.
"We're the same age, how can you be a doctor?" asked Robbie.
"Well I'm in training." Said Sakura, "Also I'm one of the pirates."
"Oh yeah… that…" muttered Robbie.
"So let me examine you, okay." Said Sakura.
She lightly touched him and he flinched.
"You got beaten up really badly…" said Sakura.
"Maybe we should switch Sakura." Said Chopper quickly realizing that having Sakura handle him with her super strength might be a bad idea.
"Fine." Said Sakura.
Robbie stared at Chopper.
"What was I dragged into this time." He muttered.
"It's a long a story." Said Chopper.
After running some examinations, Mirajane entered with some food.
"I'm so glad all three of you are awake." She said, "I have breakfast downstairs for you two."
"Thanks, Mira!" said Chopper.
"Thank you." Said Sakura.
Both of them left.
"Okay seriously… what is going on?" asked Robbie.
"Both of you were possessed by something horrible." Said Mirajane, "One of the pirates unfortunately had to beat it out of you..."
"What about that magic necklace thing I heard about?" asked Azusa.
"Also doesn't one of you wizards have healing magic." Said Robbie.
"Our wounds have some sort of demonic taint to them. They can't be healed." Explained Makarov.
"It's true." Said Mirajane.
"So tell me Mira… have you found someone to take my place?" asked Markov.
"Luffy can inflate his bones." Said Mirajane, "We're all hoping it works."
"If what Bill said is true." Sighed Markarov.
"Everyone involved will talk about it today… unless it happens sooner than expect." Sighed Mirajane.
"Are you sure it's going to happen today?" asked Markarov.
"The Gatekeeper told Naruto that." Said Mirajane.
"I see." Said Markarov.
"Hopefully we'll be able to plan it our before it starts." Said Mirajane.
"Good." Said Makarov.
"All three of you should stay in bed." Said Mirajane, "I'll be back if you need anything."
"Wait!" said Azusa.
"Yes?" asked Mirajane.
"Can you tell Azusa where she is?" asked Azusa.
This made everyone else sweat drop.
Meanwhile Bill and Discord were watching this to get their minds off the thing that would happen later.
"Hey what would happen if you Discord her." Laughed Bill.
"I don't' want to know." Said Discord, "I already pulled it on Kodachi, I don't' ant to pull it on her."
Bill blinked and then realized.
"She would become sane, wouldn't she?" asked Bill.
"More than likely." Said Bill.
Sometime later those were involved in the plan to stop the discussed what the plan was.
"All right!" said Twilight, "We need someone to fight Ranma… whoever has to have to especially burn bright."
Erza who volunteered to represent Earthland requiped a sword which and she swiped it produced flames.
"You know this is going to be extremely dangerous." Pointed out Twilight.
"We're going to be in the middle of a tornado." Said Ranma.
"So what's the plan exactly?" asked Luffy.
"Well… Ranma and Erza will form the tornado which will have both Ranma's Ki and Erza's Magic, I will magically place the tornado on your arm, then Naruto and Dipper will add the part before you hit whatever is what we're stopping." Said Twilight.
"This sounds extremely dangerous." Said Dipper.
"I don't know it sounds fine." Said Naruto.
"So many things can go wrong… I mean we're dealing with a tornado!" said Dipper, "So many thing can go wrong…"
Natsu was listening into this intently to this conversation.
"Dipper's right…" said Twilight, "We all have to be very careful with this."
"What about Luffy?" asked Ranma.
"I've been through worse." Said Luffy with a shrug.
They were going to ask, however…
"I don't think we need the answer." Said Ranma.
"I guess you're right." Said Twilight.
Dipper and Erza looked at each other and shrugged.
That was when everything began to shake.
It felt like an earthquake.
Everyone inside of the Guild Hall (well… that weren't injured) left they saw that what appeared to be a giant flower made of Crystal had started to pop out of the ground.
But there was a something off about it. Like what it was what they could perceive at the thing trying to eat the worlds.
Though out the mixed town they all watched as this happened. Everyone figured that it had something to do with the whatever was going on.
Back at the Guild Hall they knew one thing.
"We have to get there right now." Said Erza.
However that we when Crystal Vines began to grow all around them. And quickly began to sprout the flowers which into grew into the various monsters.
The monster went on the attack.
Sakura punched a couple of them.
However more just showed up.
"Looks like they don't want you get through." Said Zoro.
Diana created magic bolts to blast several of them.
"I believe that you should have backup help you." Said Diana.
"I volunteer!" Natsu said almost immediately.
"Really?" asked Erza.
"Of course! You're not leaving me out of this!" said Natsu.
Erza looked at Natsu somewhat suspiciously.
"I'm going too!" said Mabel.
Erza Dipper quickly realized they shouldn't leave Mabel out of it.
"I'm going too." Said Zoro.
"Same here." Said Ryoga.
Everyone stares at the two of them.
"I think I'm going to go too." Sighed Sasuke messaging a headache that seemed to be developing.
"I'm going too." Said Rainbow Dash.
"We should keep the group small in case we get word about other people need our help." Said Diana, "However Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash."
"Human form with elements?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yes." Answered Princess Luna.
Princess Luna floated two cups of water along with a tiara and necklace with red gem.
Twilight put on the tiara and Rainbow Dash wore the necklace. They both activated their curses.
Ran now wore an outfit consisting of a red t-shirt that ended just above her belly button, a short red skirt that had bicycle shorts underneath and black finger less gloves on her hands and the red gem on her belt.
Hikaru now wore a fuchsia dress, that sparkled like diamonds, it had long sleeves and the skirt reach just below her knee she still wore the tiara on her head.
"Please tell me you can do something with those things." Said Zoro.
Ran sent out of a red bolt of lighting from her hand destroying any more crystal monster.
"You tell me." She said with a smirk.
"Let's go!" said Erza requipping into a set of armor.
The group consisting of the group that were planning on destroying the ting and their bodyguard all left, that was when more Crystal vines began to surround the area as a way to prevent from leaving.
Diana looked at the group as the vines grew once again.
That was when she had an idea.,
"Mirajane." Said Diana, "I require you help with something."
"What?" asked Mirajane.
"I will explain inside." Said Diana.
Mirajane nodded.
Both headed inside to enact her plan.
With the group going to fight it, they continue running hoping that they would be able to make it in time to destroy the thing.
Next Time: The group in charge of destroying the thing and their body guards keep running into problems. Thankfully they have some help on the way there. Who's there to help? Find out next time!
