Hello again viewers
I got the next chapter here
I love all the positive reviews you guys are throwing at me
By the way, if you saw the whole thing with Gray saying he was ugly... That was my cousin, my idiot cousin who got onto my computer while I went to get some lunch. She decided it would be fun to rewrite a couple things on my computer, but I passed over that part.
So anyways, I've got a lot of OCs coming in
So starting the chapter
Lucy POV
"So," I said as we looked around, "Which way to the royal city?"
"Why the royal city?" Naomi asked.
"Mystogan should be able to help us," Erza stated, looking into the distance.
"I do believe your aid is here," Neptune stated and shot up into the sky, back to Earthland while a large cloud of dust and sand flew towards us.
Suddenly, the cloud stopped and we coughed up dust as we looked at a dark figure. It was a person riding a horse. He or she was wearing armor over simple robed clothing and a cloak that had a hood which covered their face.
"Who are you?" the person said, their voice obscured by what seemed to be a change in tone.
"Um..." we all stuttered and he or she pulled out a bow and arrow, pointing it at us.
"Speak!"
"I'm Lucy," I quickly stated and they lowered the bow.
"Lucy, as in the Fairy Tail mage from Earthland?"
"Yes," I squeaked and they grabbed their hood, pulling it up.
We all gasped as we saw rainbow highlighted blonde hair and light blue eyes like blue embers.
"Lily?" Naomi gasped and looked at our Lily.
"Whoa," both Lilies gasped in unison and stared at each other, "Sweet."
"So we just found the Edolas Lily," Throran said, "That's just what we need, another Lily."
"Excuse me," the Edolas Lily asked, raising her bow again.
"Nothing," he squeaked and both Lilies giggled uncontrollably.
"So Lily?" I asked and she looked at me, "Where are you from?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, are you in a guild or are you a hunter or something?"
"I'm in a guild," she answered, "It's the second official guild to be formed."
"What is it?" Ajax asked.
"Oh you'll see," she stated and reared her horse around, "Follow me!"
She rode off and we immediately scrambled after her.
Several Hours Later
"Did you... have to... go so fast," I heaved as we finally made it to Lily who had stopped on a large hill.
"Where are we anyway?" Natsu asked as he climbed up the hill.
"Home," Edo-Lily said, "If you guys are from Star Legion then you should know this place."
"What pla-" Naomi stopped in her tracks as she stared at the sight before us.
The Edolas version of Destin lay before us, however, instead of the large town it was a large city. People walked about, going through the daily routines of their lives as the city gleamed in the sunlight.
"It's beautiful," Naomi murmured.
"Hey," Ajax said, "Where's the guild hall?"
We looked at the giant mountain to see it gone, no fortress walls or banners anywhere.
"It's not under the mountain?"
"Under the mountain," Edo-Lily laughed, "Your guild hall's under a mountain? Ours is a little more up."
We followed her instruction and gasped.
Instead of the mountain fortress that was built into the side of the mountain, it was now a castle built atop the mountain.
"Welcome to Super verticem montis in regnum," she stated and we looked at her, then at Carla.
"It's latin again," she sighed, "It means, Kingdom Atop the Mountain."
"Do you have a shorter name?" I asked and she nodded.
"The old rulers of the castle called it by another name," she explained, "Draco habitent, also known as Dragon Roost."
"Dragon Roost?" we all asked.
"In the days of old, long before the rule of the tyrant king, dragons were believed to have existed," she explained, "This place was built by the family of Flame as a home to dragons and humans alike, however when dragons faded to legend it was abandoned until we turned it into our guild hall."
"If it used to be home to dragons," Wendy said, "Is it possible that it may have clues to where are dragons went?"
"Yeah, does it!?" Natsu demanded.
"I dunno," she said, "We just moved into it a year ago, haven't had much time to explore other than expanding in it."
"Wait," Naomi said, "If this is the Star Legion guild hall, does that mean that your guild master's our guild master?"
"Maybe," she said and immediately, Naomi bolted for the mountain.
"Naomi, WAIT!" I shouted as we chased after her.
"Why?" she asked as she stopped at the bottom of the hill, "If there's a chance that Revan exists in this world, than he may know where our Revan is."
"Alright," Ajax said as he ran over, "Let's get this over with."
We walked towards the mountain while the whole of Destin stared in awe at us. By the time we got there, most of Destin's population was following us. We climbed a giant step of stairs up to the top of the mountain.
"I'm back!" Lily hollered as she pushed open the guild hall doors and strolled in.
We stared at the whole guild, everyone we knew was different.
"Wow, you actually made it back," the Edo-Throran said.
He wore fur and leather armor with a bunch of metal weapons on his back. A scar ran down his right eye making it milky white while his left eye was the same color as our Throran's.
"Good for you," the Edo-Ajax said.
He was wearing a black suit with a red shield on it that had the Star Legion symbol on it.
"Good to see you again," the Edo-Dylan stated as he sat at the bar, wearing a suit made of different shades of blue.
"So, mind us asking, where the hell were you?" Edo-Shiori asked, wearing black, leather clothing.
"I picked up some guys who actually like being shot at," she said as she walked us in and immediately, the guild hall went silent.
"Are they?" the Edo-Orin asked.
"Our Earthland counterparts, yep."
"Hi," I nervously greeted and they just stared at us.
"What're you looking at?" Gajeel sneered, but Levy nudged him with her elbow.
"You're Earthland wizards?" Edo-Shiori asked and we nodded.
"Yeah," Naomi said and they started murmuring amongst themselves.
"It cannot be," an old, weary voice said and we looked up to see a man in greying brown robes.
A long, wavy grey beard covered his chin along with a long grey moustache with the same going for his hair.
"It can't be," Erza growled as a sword appeared in her right hand.
"You," Natsu gasped in shock before smiling, "Looks like you actually joined a guild."
The man stared at us before his lips curled into a smile of joy and he stepped down the stone steps that led to the main floor of the castle.
"No young man, I did not join a guild, I founded one."
"Wait, are you?" I asked and he smiled at me.
"I was once King Faust, king of Edolas," he said and immediately, everyone stepped back from him.
"You were the one who turned us into a lacrima?" Levy asked and he nodded.
"I am truly sorry," he apologized and went down onto his knees, putting his head down, "I ask you, forgive me for I had forgotten the duties of being a king."
"I forgive you gramps," Natsu smiled and we looked at him, shocked.
"You forgave him that easily?" Gray asked.
"Oh yeah," Natsu said while rubbing the back of his neck, "I didn't tell you guys."
"Tell us what?" we all asked.
"Before you left," Faust began to explain, "I asked the young man something."
***Flashback***
3rd Person POV
Several Years Ago
"Solidarity," Faust said as he stared up into the sky.
Golden rivers of magical energy weaving through the air into the dark sky as magic left the world of Edolas forever.
"Huh?" Natsu asked as he looked down at the fallen king of Edolas.
"Courage," he replied, "Conviction."
"It seems I had forgotten some important things..."
Natsu looked down at him, watching in shock and wonder as Faust transformed from a cold hearted tyrant into a warm hearted true king.
"Is being in a guild fun?"
"Yeah!" Natsu stated and smiled at him.
***Flashback End***
Lucy POV
Present
"You're good now?"
Faust nodded and turned around to face the Edo-Star Legion.
"This is my guild, the Star Legion," he stated and everyone in the guild hall besides the Earthland wizards cheered, "This is my redemption, to lead others onto the path of good rather than the path of evil and madness that I had walked on."
"That's a fine way to go about it," Erza said as she inspected the guild hall, "So, you founded the Star Legion in this world?"
"That I did," Faust answered, "So who founded the Star Legion in Earthland?"
"Our guild master," Naomi replied, "Revan Flame."
"I suppose you have not come here to learn about Edolas?"
"No," I answered, "Revan was kidnapped by people from Edolas."
"That's impossible," he gasped, "The Anima technology was powered by magic and there is no magic left in Edolas."
"That's what we thought too," Wendy stated, "but we figured out that people from Earthland found out how to open a portal to Edolas."
"That would explain much," Faust said and gestured for us to follow him.
He lead us up the stairs and towards the familiar throne that Revan used to sit in. Instead of the magnificent throne we once knew, it was a large wooden throne with fine silk padding and tapestry with a wooden desk in front of it.
"About several weeks ago," Faust began as he sat in the throne and filed through the papers on the desk, "People reported of a dark guild that still possessed magic."
"And?" I asked.
"We thought it was a joke until several days ago when a business man by the name of Edward Buckenhave came to us asking if we wanted to purchase magical items. We of course waved him off as a liar, but I sent some of my guild members to spy on him."
"What happened?" Natsu asked with excitement.
"We found him selling magical items to the dark guild that resides far off near the ruins of the old cities."
"What's the dark guild's name?" Gajeel asked.
"Darkseid."
"WHAT!?" we all shouted and he stared at us.
"Is something the matter?"
"Yeah," I replied, "Darkseid's the one who kidnapped Revan, who destroyed Destin in our world and nearly decimated the guild hall."
"Then this is a much bigger threat than we anticipated," he said and began stroking his beard.
"Master," we heard and turned to see Edo-Throran run up to the throne room, "A messenger's here from the Royal City."
Faust perked up and got up, following him to the main floor. We followed and saw the one person we hadn't seen in so long.
"Coco, it is good to see you again my child," Faust greeted and the familiar little girl ran up like a speeding bullet and embraced the old king.
"Hello sir," she said and looked over his shoulder at us.
Her eyes turned into dinner saucers and her mouth dropped.
"Ms. Lucy?"
"Hi Coco," I greeted and she smiled widely.
"What're you doing here?"
"We came to rescue our guild master," Naomi blurted out and she tilted her head.
"Who're you?"
"We're the Star Legion of Earthland," Lily explained and she mouthed an "o".
"So what's happened?"
We sighed as we explained everything again to Coco.
Several Hours Later
"So your here to rescue this Revan person from the combined forces of the Earthland and Edolas Darkseid?" she asked and we all nodded in unison.
"Coco?" Faust asked, "Why are you here exactly?"
"Oh," she said and opened a backpack she had on her back, "King Jellal asked me to deliver this message."
She cleared her throat and began to speak.
"Dear Star Legion, it has come to my attention that the dark guild known as Darkseid is becoming a rising problem in the affairs of Edolas, I hereby renounce the old king Faust's exile for the duration of the coming meeting of magic guilds in which all the forces of Edolas will meet and help defeat Darkseid."
"They're allowing you back into the Royal City?" Edo-Lily asked and Faust nodded as he read the message for himself.
"Only for the duration of this meeting however," he said, "I do not expect this to be long."
"Atleast you'll be back in your home," Coco said and Faust smiled before laughing heartily.
"Come on, it will take us a week before we arrive at the Royal City, best to get a head start."
"Yeah, come on," Nova said and we all turned to her, "What?"
"Wait, you came along too?" Lily asked.
"Well, of course."
"Did Neptune allow you too?" Naomi asked and she nervously poked her fingers together.
"Well... No," she nervously answered and we all sighed.
"You snuck aboard?"
"Yeah."
"Come on," Naomi said as we followed Faust out the door and she started cheering.
One Week Later
"We're here," Lily said as we rode through the giant gate of the Royal City.
"Sir," a guard said as he stepped in front of our cart, "Please step away from the cart."
Faust nodded and we all got out as he searched the cart.
"You're clear sir," he said and allowed us back onto Faust's cart.
We rode further into the Royal City, the entire populace coming out to watch the old king ride by in his cart filled to the brim with members from the Edo-Star Legion, Fairy Tail, and Star Legion. Soon we arrived at the castle and found ourselves before our old friends.
"Faust," Mystogan said in a stoic tone.
"Hello your majesty," he said and bowed his upper body.
The rest of Edo-Star Legion followed leaving us the only ones standing. Mystogan stared at us, his eyes wide and mouth slightly dropped before he rushed forward and grabbed Wendy in a bear hug.
"How are you here?" he asked as he squeezed Wendy.
"We found a dragon and he took us here," she answered and he finally let go of her.
"A dragon?"
"Yeah," I said, "Neptune, the water dragon."
"I didn't know dragons still existed in Fiore?"
"They do, well some," Levy explained, "There's Acnologia and Neptune, maybe even some in hiding."
"That's an amazing adventure you can tell us in the castle," he said with a smile and gestured for us to follow him inside.
We started walking with him into the castle when the royal guard stepped in front of Faust befor he could take a step forward.
"I'm sorry sir, but you cannot continue past, so are the orders from King Jellal."
"I see," Faust said and bowed his head in shame.
"Mystogan," I said and he looked at me, "You're not letting him into the castle?"
"It is against the law for him to even step foot in here, I am stretching my own rulership by letting him stand here, right now."
"But he offered us hospitality," Wendy said, "The least you can do is offer him the same."
Mystogan stood there for several moments, thinking before he looked up at the old king, his father.
"Guards, allow my fath- the old king Faust passage into the royal castle, but one mishap and he shall be expelled with extreme prejudice."
"Thank you my king," Faust said with a smile and followed us inside.
We stared in awe at the royal castle as we walked through it for the first time without anyone trying to kill us.
"Hello Scarlet," we heard a voice say and turned around to see Erza Knightwalker wearing her little outfit with her scarlet hair grown back to its full length.
"Hello Knightwalker," Erza said and the two warriors stared off.
"Okay," we heard and saw the ever so familiar sight of Lucy Ashley, my Edolas version walk up to the two, "Let's just calm down and go to the meeting."
"Yes," they both said and went to where ever we were headed.
Soon we came to a large room with a table in the center with multiple seats. On the table was a full 3D map of Edolas with actual detail making it look like a model collection.
"All guild members, please take your seats," Mystogan ordered and everyone sat down in seats.
In seconds, Mystogan, Faust, Edo-Lucy, and Knightwalker were all seated while the rest of us stood, watching and listening.
"It has come to my attention that the dark guild known as Darkseid has become a threat to all of Edolas," Mystogan stated and everyone nodded, "Therefore, I am ordering every guild to come together in order to ally ourselves against the dark mages."
"Excuse me," Edo-me asked, "How will aligning ourselves help stop Darkseid if we don't even know where they are?"
"My guild does," Faust stated as he stood up and pointed at the map on the table.
He pointed at a gray city surrounded by dead mountains that were a cold gray color on the map.
"I sent some of my guild members to spy on a man who attempted to sell us false magical weapons, we found him selling the weapons to Darkseid."
"That'll be useful," Knightwalker stated, "I would suggest preparing the royal army for a full scale assault on the old city ruins immediately."
"No," Mystogan said as he looked at the location of Edo-Darkseid intently, "Sending the entire army would leave us defenseless, send a small team along with Fairy Tail, Star Legion, and our Earthland friends."
He looked up to us and we all nodded. He nodded back and looked back at the map before speaking.
"If Darkseid truly does possess magic again, then we must find out how they have it and how to destroy it."
"Destroy magic!?" everyone from Edolas shouted and got up in shock.
"Indeed," Mystogan calmly replied, "Magic is what tore apart Edolas before, it must not be allowed to tear us apart again."
"I agree with the king," Faust stated and sat back in his seat.
Everyone looked at each other before grumbling and sitting back down with arms crossed over their chests.
"So where can we find this merchant?" Mystogan asked and we all shrugged.
"Did you catch a name?" Knightwalker asked and Faust nodded.
"Edward Buckenhave."
Instantly, everyone besides us gasped and we all looked at them quizzically.
"What's wrong?" Edo-Lily asked.
"Edward's a supplier for the Royal City," Knightwalker explained, "He's supplied us with food, weapons, and supplies. In return we give him currency."
"Well he's been supplying Darkseid," Lily stated and the Edo-Lily nodded with her counterpart.
"Then we must find him," Mystogan stated, "He comes to sell us goods every few months, it's been two, so he should be back soon."
"Arrest him on sight?" Knightwalker asked and he nodded.
She left the meeting room with several guards in tow, probably off to prepare the trap.
"So what do we do now?" I asked and everyone turned to me.
"Now," Mystogan stated, "We wait and we watch as well as listen."
3rd Person POV
Elsewhere in Edolas
"AH!" Revan screamed as the machinery drained him of his magical energy.
"This is quite a show," the Edo-leader of Darkseid remarked, munching on a muffin as he did.
"Indeed, I told you I could supply you with an infinite source of magic," the Earthland Darkseid leader replied as they watched him writhe and yell in pain.
"You know his allies will come for him," a voice said and they turned to see a man with tubes going around his arms from a tank on his chest filled with red, luminous liquid, "We should prepare."
"Now now," the Earthland mage said, "We need not rush ourselves, besides, everything is going as planned."
"How so?" the Edo-Darkseid leader asked as he finished his muffin.
"In time you will see and in time you will laugh as Edolas unravels itself from the false image of peace that it has taken a hold of."
"And from the ashes of destruction we will rise," the muscled man said, "Darkseid will rule over all."
"Indeed."
Done
