Hello again people
I very much hope you liked the last chapter
This one's going to be fun
Starting it now
Lucy POV
"WHAT!?" we all shouted in surprise, shock, and confusion.
"I have a great reason to believe, that Revan was once a member of Fairy Tail," Makarov said.
"But," Naomi stuttered, "That's impossible, he could never have been."
"Why do you think he was one of us? Is it because I'm ugly?" Gray asked, scowling with his ugly face.
"His name, the way he acts, and that last sentence he uttered before Darkseid defeated him."
"But, I don't remember him ever being in the guild," Natsu stated and slammed his hands on the stone desk.
"But do you remember this man," he asked and turned the book around for all of us to see.
"Wait," Erza said as she stared at it, "I remember him."
"Yeah," Levy said, "He used to go on missions so often."
"You guys knew him?" I asked and they nodded.
"His name was Revan Flame, he was the son of a rich family, his parents Thomas and Carol Flame were murdered in their home by a rival family that envied them so they hired mercenaries to kill them," Makarov explained, "He disappeared from the world for a short time before reappearing later and joined our guild in his early teens."
"But, Revan said he was descended from royalty," Lily said.
"He is," Makarov explained, "For some time after his parents' death, I searched his family's history and discovered they had hid their heritage to live a normal life in Fiore."
"So who's the girl," I asked.
"Jane Sherod," Makarov said, "She was a wizard in Fairy Tail who fell in love with himnand he with her."
"What happened to her?" Lily asked.
"Unfortunately," he said, tensing up, "She perished on a job, Revan was devastated and soon involved himself in his jobs more than anything else, he barely even visited his own home in Magnolia."
"So he decided to push himself into his work," I said and he nodded.
"Good, so we know who he is now, but how does this help us get him back!?" Naomi asked.
"It helps us because when Revan first joined the guild, he was a member of Darkseid."
3rd Person POV
"WHAT!?" everyone shouted for the second time.
"He was one of them!?" Natsu shouted, his fists bursting in flames.
"Once," Makarov stated.
"Is it possible he led Darkseid here?" Erza asked and immediately, Naomi jumped onto her and pushed her to the ground.
"HE WOULDN'T!" she screamed as Lily and Ajax pulled her back.
"She is right," Makarov said, "The day we first met Revan Flame was the day he betrayed Darkseid."
"What?" they all asked.
"He came to us, asking for help, Darkseid was planning on taking over Fiore, but he saw it as madness, he came to us asking for our help in defeating Darkseid."
"That's why the Darkseid guild master talked about their fall twenty five years ago."
"Yes," he said, "We aided him in destroying Darkseid, but they rerose several years ago. We thought they were just a pack of foolish dark mages though."
"You were wrong," Naomi stated, clenching her fists.
"We were and Revan has payed for our mistake."
"He has," Lucy said, "But we're going to save him."
"How!?" Lily shouted, "We don't even know where they went."
"We do," Wendy said and looked at Natsu who nodded, "We've seen that portal before."
"Where?" everyone asked.
"Back when Magnolia was abducted and turned into a Lacrima," Gajeel stated, "I remember the portal too."
Then it clicked for the Celestial wizard, the white energy wave in the sky, the storm clouds.
"I do too," Lucy said, "They went to Edolas."
Lucy POV
"EDOLAS!?" everyone in Fairy Tail shouted while Star Legion just looked at us quizzically.
"Is that possible?" Gray asked, "I thought only people from Edolas could open a portal there."
"Darkseid got there some how," I said, "and if they could, then we can too."
"How?" Erza asked, "We don't know how they did it."
"I think I know," Orin said and we looked at him, "That guy, the buff wrestler, he said Acnologia haunted him as a kid."
"So?" Natsu asked.
"If the technology he was so advanced it could buff him up more, then is it possible it was Edolas tech?"
We all looked at each other and nodded.
"How does that help our predicament?" Gajeel asked.
"If that's Edolas tech, then he must be from Edolas," he stated, "and if he's from Edolas, that means Acnologia was in Edolas once too."
"Therefore," Levy said in excitement, "Dragons can pass between the two worlds."
"No, three," Makarov said, "Dragons come from a world known as the Dragon Realm."
"So they're able to travel between the worlds," I asked and he nodded.
"It was a theory proposed many years ago, but it was never proven."
"So what," Lily asked, "We find Acnologia and kindly ask him to not eat us, but take us on a magical adventure to Edolas."
"I'm sure he'd eat us," Gray said and I elbowed him.
"I think I have a solution," Shiori said, "While you guys were gone, I went on a job before the siege."
"And?" we all asked.
"I was at a major bar that a lot of mages hung out at during their jobs, I over heard people talking about rumors of a dragon living in the White Forest."
"The White Forest?" Natsu asked.
"It's an ancient forest nearby," she explained, "We can reach there in a couple of days."
"So what happens when we don't find the dragon?" Gray asked and Erza slapped him, "What was that for!?"
"Be more optimistic Gray, this is our only chance to get to Edolas again."
"But I doubt they'll be a dragon there, I mean they've been gone since the July 7, 777!"
"But what about Acnologia?" Lily asked.
"He's an evil dragon," he said and Orin glared at him, probably still feeling some emotions for his mentor besides hatred and anger.
"Gray, shut up," Makarov ordered and he immediately followed his orders, knowing the change in tone that he used, "Everyone, go find this dragon and see if he'll help us."
"Yes sir," Erza said as we left.
Several Hours Later
"This is it," I said as we walked into the forest.
The trees were large and old, ancient even. The bark on them were silver, some parts of it even gleaming as if it was the metal itself. the leaves however, they were a healthy green. We walked across the green grass into the heart of the forest, looking around at the natural beauty.
There were red roses growing from the ground and little flowers every where. I looked back at the town behind us where we had ended up when we got on the train. We continued to walk until we came to a large clearing with an ancient ruin, large pillars and buildings made of stone with markings carved into them.
Some of them were broken or covered in vines.
"So, where's the dragon?" Throran asked as he strolled around.
"I don't know," Shiori said as she walked over to one of the pillars, rubbing her hand across it.
"It's not here," we heard and looked at Naomi, her head bent down as tears dripped out off her eyes.
"Naomi," I said reassuringly, but she shook off the hand I put on her shoulder.
"NO! Your dragon isn't here!"
"You doubt to much child," an ancient, monotone voice bellowed and we looked around, staring into the White Forest around us.
Suddenly, there was the sound of stone cracking and pebbles falling. We turned around to see a giant creature sitting on a fairly large pillar.
Its arms rested on the edge while its hind legs were on the back of the stone pillar. Its scales were a dark shade of blue like indigo while the scales underneath it were a lighter color making it look like the ocean. Its eyes were an sea green, but worn out showing its age and the weariness it felt. The horns on its head were either straight in a spike like shape, but some were in the shape of blades.
"Are you a dragon?"
"I am," it roared and raised its arms, spreading large wings the same color as its scales.
"Wha-, who are you?" Gajeel asked.
"I am Neptune," it stated, "Dragon of water."
"Your the water dragon?" I asked.
"Okay, sir or ma'am?" Gray said and it growled at him.
"I am a he," it answered and we sighed in relief.
"So, um Neptune, right?" I asked and it nodded, then I continued, "We have come here in search of you."
"For what reason, to slay me or to ask of a favor?"
"Um, the second one," Natsu said and it stared at us before nodding.
"And tell me, what favor would this be?"
"We need to cross into another world," Naomi stated and it- he looked at her.
"What makes you believe I can do that?"
"Because," Orin said, "Acnologia could cross into Edolas, why can't you?"
"I can," Neptune said, "However, that ability is a treasured secret kept by my people so that humans would not attain the power to cross into the other worlds, especially our world."
"Wait," Wendy said and he looked at her, "Why did the dragons leave?"
Neptune looked at her for several moment, tensing up before relaxing and beginning to speak.
"For years we lived amongst humans until the call went out to seclude ourselves from human affairs," he explained, "Only I ignored the call and for that I was exiled, never again can I return to Draco Regnum."
"What?" we all asked.
"It's latin," Carla stated, "I means Dragon Realm."
"Indeed," Neptune stated, "So children, what is it that you seek?"
"Um..." we trailed off.
"We need to pass into Edolas," I answered and he stared at me.
"For what reason?"
"To save our guild master."
"What has happened to this person?"
"He was taken from us, beaten by a dark guild."
"And why would they take him?"
"We don't know," I confessed, holding my head down, "but we need to save him."
"And why would I choose to aid you?"
"You said that dragons chose to withhold their power to transverse worlds from humans, but these humans know how to do travel between worlds, how long until they discover how to travel to the Dragon Realm?"
It glared at us for several minutes before shouting at another pillar, obliterating it into dust and rubble.
"I will help you," it stated, "but I require a service of my own."
"What?" we asked.
"Destroy the technology that allows them to transverse the Cosmic Plain, do not allow them to find other worlds and plunder them, save everyone."
"We will," Natsu stated and everyone nodded or shouted their agreement.
"Neptune?" we heard and turned to look into the forest as a girl walked out, "Dad, who are these people?"
"Dad?" we asked and the dragon just looked at her, then at us.
"Nova, these are.. uh?"
"Fairy Tail," the other guild answered.
"Star Legion," we answered.
"Your magic guilds?" she gasped.
"Well, yeah," we all said and rubbed the back of our necks.
"So who are you?" Wendy asked.
"Nova," she introduced, "I don't have a last name."
"She is my foster child," Neptune stated, "She is the Water Dragon Slayer."
"You trained a dragon slayer?" Gajeel asked and he nodded.
"I did."
"So what are you doing here?" Rose asked us.
"We're asking Neptune to take us to Edolas, another world," I answered and she tilted her to her right side like a dog wondering what we were saying, "Your dad, he can travel between worlds."
"You can?"
"Yes," Neptune answered, "A secret that dragons have kept for generations."
"How would you do that?"
"Simple," he stated and looked up to the sky, "I can change the water around me, therefore I can change the weather itself."
"So what does that do?"
"In order to transverse the cosmic plain, the energy around us must be split between positive and negative."
"That means... Lightning!" Levy stated and everyone turned to her, "So you can make a lightning storm so we can go to Edolas?"
"Exactly," Neptune answered and looked up to the sky, "I would suggest we wait till early morning tomorrow, you must rest before your trip to the other world."
"But we need to save Revan now!" Naomi shouted and Neptune just stared at her.
"If you truly want to help him, then rest and recuperate, do not fall in your endeavor to save his life or else you fail him and yourself," Neptune replied and Naomi calmed down.
"Fine, but we're leaving tomorrow morning, no later."
With that she walked over to one of the trees and set up her camp.
"Alright, let's set up camp," I said and we started setting up our camp sites.
"I can't believe we'll get to meet our Edolas versions!" Levy cheerfully stated as she sat in my tent.
"Yeah, your..." I remembered the more kick butt Levy, "um, pleasant."
"Really?"
"Yeah..." I said, nervously chuckling.
"Excuse me," we heard and saw Wendy poke her head into my tent, "You have to come see this."
We walked out into the White Forest where everyone else was, each and everyone of them staring at the trees. I gasped as I looked up at them, the moonlight shooting rays at the trees and turning the leaves a moon white color.
"It's beautiful," I gasped.
"It is, isn't it," I heard and saw Nova leaning on a tree, "I've gone to sleep every night since I was 6 watching the leaves turn white."
"That's when Neptune found you?"
"Yes," she answered, "He found me outside his cave, near a lake in the White Forest."
"So what can you do?" I asked and she pulled up her hand."
Suddenly, water formed on it, creating a shield of water on her hand.
"Whoa."
"Nice, I know."
"Hey Lucy," I heard and saw Levy in her tent, "Go to sleep, we got a big day ahead of us tomorrow."
The Next Day
"All packed," I stated as I put everything in a backpack.
I walked over to the others who stood in front of Neptune who himself had his head held high up to the sky, staring at the clouds above.
"Now, we shall begin," he stated and breathed in deeply.
"BOOM!" the sound of his dragon roar resounded as he fired a roar of water into the sky.
The clouds darkened and rain began to fall. Lightning crackled and boomed in the sky as they shot out in tendrils and arcs, painting the sky white every now and then.
"Now," Neptune stated and began to glow, "We will transverse the Cosmic Plain."
Suddenly, we glowed a pure white color and shot up with Neptune, like comets flying upwards into the dark sky. There was a bright flash and suddenly, we were in a desert like region, sand flying in the wind as we walked about.
"Welcome back to Edolas," I stated.
Done
