"Why don't we go to the party, that's being held at the palace? We can't stress too much, We just need to take it one step of a time." Wendy smile. Carla flew up towards Wendy and patted her head.
"Good thinking Wendy, might as well go and see if we can find any clues" The group nodded in agreement. "Right Lucy and I can be the entertainers at the party while you 2 can go and see if you can recognize anyone that is in 'our' time." Mirajane smiled.
"Huh! What Entertainers! You can't be serious Mira. How can we be entertainers I mean..." Mirajane gave Lucy a pat on the shoulder. "Don't worry Lucy, I know we can do it plus It could be fun" She smiled once more. Lucy nervously smiled.
"A-alright"
"ALRIGHT I'm fired up!" Natsu grins.
*flash forward*
The scene was horrific Aladdin was mad… no furious. This place once blooming with peace and happiness, but now mix together with both worlds. Everyone running around in confusion. People are dying one by one. Children crying for their parents. Men fighting men, there was confusion everywhere. Everyone blamed each other, not wanting to accept the reality. It was…. MADNESS...
"NATSU! ALADDIN!" Lucy stood there in shock, tears flooded her eyes. She saw Natsu knocked down one after another, Aladdin fights beside Natsu, they both were beaten, bruised, to the point where they couldn't use any more magic but they never gave up. They never gave in, until at last blow, knocking both Natsu and Aladdin near Lucy. "Natsu! Aladdin" Lucy ran by to their side.
"Please, please stop! I beg you, I don't want to see you both getting hurt. I – I don't want to lose you both!" She pleaded and pleaded for them to stop. She couldn't take it, it was too much for her, to see someone she cares about are getting beaten up right in front of her own very eyes. Even so, that didn't stop them. They both looked at Lucy with caring eyes, filled with determination and hope. Her eyes widen as tears flooded down her face.
"This is war…." a woman with long pink hair looking down at this new world that was 'once' a world where everyone could make their own density.
"Is it going to end up like this? Will everyone die?" she looked at the future. Her eyes were nothing but tears and sadness. "Will it be another….my dear beloved.., Solomon…" She looked towards the little magi. "Aladdin….forgive me. I wanted to help... I swear I did, but... but now" Tears formed in her eyes, crying in despair. But as she was going to give into the darkness, she heard a voice.
"Don't give up" A girl with very long, wavy, blonde hair that reaches down to her feet with a single lock pointing upwards, large green eyes that appear to have no irises and a slight child-like build. She wears a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. She looked at the girl with confusion.
"W-who are you?" the women spoke.
The girl walked towards the women as she stared right at her. "Have hope and believe in them" This shocked the women even more. The child continues. "There's going to be a bright future ahead for these youngsters." She smiled at the women. Her eyes widen, this girl's eyes do not waver nor does it have a hint hesitation. She had those eyes, those eyes that look towards a bright future.
"How can you be so sure?"
"Isn't it the same reason why you brought them here" she looks at the women with hope in her eyes. "Don't worry I'm sure that 'they' will be able to make a bright future"
*Back to the present*
"Thanks for all, we are able to achieve such stunning victory in the recent war. Tonight, we shall celebrate that triumph" Sinbad introduces the capturers of the Dungeon Zagan. "Bask the glory of your victory to your heart's content!" the crowd cheers "I have one more joyous report to make to you. Guest of our country have conquered yet another new dungeon." Coming from behind was none other than Sharrken, Yamraiha and Masrur, "Allow me to introduce them to you" Sinbad continues. Sharrken pushes Alibaba in front. "Alibaba Saluja, Ren Hakuryuu, Morgiana and Aladdin." The crowd roared, as their mentors looked at them with pride. Suddenly a loud yell came over, "Yo! Alibaba! Alad.."The voice stop mid-way. Alibaba recognizes the voice and tried to find where it was coming from. Natsu? He thought. The crowd went also silent, looking to see who the one that yelled was. Sinbad looked at Alibaba and the rest with a face looking at them. Saying you better tell me what just happen kind of face. Alibaba nervously laughs and nods.
"AHEM as I was saying" Sinbad looking compose, "This moment right now is the beginning of a new journey. Now then, raise your glasses, to the new adventure that is about to begin anew!" Raising his glass up him yells, "Cheers!" They celebrate their victory and cheer on the upcoming adventures, Sindria's citizens immerse themselves in the festivities.
"Bwahaha haha" Aladdin and his friends watch a play imitating them. "T-that doesn't even look like Aladdin" Alibaba said through laughter coming out of his mouth. "Ne ne Aladdin why don't you pose as that man" Alibaba sinkers, trying to hold his laughter.
"Huh like this Alibaba" Aladdin gave a naive expression, imitating the huge muscular man that was posing none stop. This caused Alibaba and Sharrken to burst out laughing. This contented Aladdin and kept on imitating, Aladdin was emerged in the act but his mind would always wander off. What was his feeling that felt when Alibaba and the rest were coming back to Sindria? He felt something was off and that something wasn't right, but what? He soon stopped the imitation. His action caused Morgiana and Alibaba looking at the little magi in concern. Not only them it was also Sharrken and Yamraiha.
"Aladdin-kun what's wrong?" Yamraiha looked very concerned towards Aladdin. Aladdin jerked as he noticed that he worried his friends.
"AH! Sorry it seemed that I spaced out a bit" Aladdin made sure that he made a convincing smile. Hoping to fool his teacher. It seemed to work because she sighed of relief and went back bickering with Sharrken about that magic is better than swordsmanship.
"Aladdin" Alibaba spoke from behind. "Are you sure you're alright? There's nothing that's bothering you?" He said looking at his friend very concern. Aladdin nodded in responds, the minute's pass by and Alibaba apologizes for all the worries he caused them and that he is very glad to have met Morgiana and Aladdin. Morgiana and Aladdin looked at each other and smiled. They were also glad to have met Alibaba. In the midst of a heartwarming conversation Sharrken popped up.
"Yo what's the big deal? Getting all sentimental on us!" He grins mischievous. "Here drink up!" He shoves Alibaba a drink of alcohol. Meanwhile, Koubun tells Hakuryuu about the orders they got from the Kou Empire, which tells them to come back home.
"Ughh I don't wanna go….*hic* Sinbad said that I could stay here as long as I want...*hic*"
"Princess Kougyoku please you must go. We don't want to be a burden to Sinbad" He said trying to convince the princess to leave.
"But I don't wanna~~~"
"Ah princess…" Koubun sighs, how am I going to get the princess to leave? Koubun looks at prince Hakuryuu, with pleading eyes, he says. "Prince…" and with that only words the prince sighs as he agrees to stand up, not only making Koubun filled with joy but brought determination to Hakuryuu. I must get and answer from Lord Sinbad, fast. He mumbles to himself, not knowing that the king himself was listening and watching.
"Bwahaha Hahaha" Sharrken and Alibaba again started to laugh uncontrollably. "Not a good impression" both said between laugher. "Cut it out Aladdin." Alibaba holds his stomach since it hurt so much from laughing.
"Huh why~~" he once more looks at them a clueless expression. He then gave one more pose and it was the end for them. They couldn't stop laughing, but because of this Yamraiha started to scold Sharrken as for Alibaba he spilled some wine on top Morgiana dress causing for both of them to look away. As Aladdin mindless kept on posing he was calling from behind.
"Aladdin" A strong voice called out for Aladdin. He looked behind him to see.
"Ah Uncle Sinbad, What are you doing" he smiled at the king. The king smiled back, "I want to talk with for a sec"
"Talk about? What is it?"
"About the other magi beside you" With that Aladdin looked at him with a shocked expression. Are there really other magic beside me? He though
Earlier that day
"WAHH~~~ this is so amazing" Fairy Tail looks in awe. The festival was none like any other. It was colorful, people dancing and drinking. It was just like the guild back home. They thought. Even though they have seen countless of parties and festivals of different kinds. This was different, they were in the past. It was something new, unforgettable and very exciting.
"Wah! Wendy I'm so glad we decided to come here" Lucy grins widely, eyeing the little sky dragon slayer.
"Hai Lucy-san" She smile, giving a hint of rosiness.
"So what do we do now? Now that we're at the festival" Natsu spoke, looking around the crowd. Mirajane thought smiled looking at Lucy, she spoke.
"Mhmm well why don't we grab something to eat in the meantime" Mirajane suggests. Lucy walked around the stands. Seeing what they had to offer for food. As she was roaming around, she saw all kinds of things. It amazed her how even though they are experiencing the past first hand it shows that they are not so different after all. Lucy smiled, she loved this atmosphere it's so much like the guild back home. Lucy now had food in her hands and started to head back to her friends. Lucy groans, "Why do I have to be the one getting the food" She cries. "If anything Natsu should be the one getting it." She pouts.
*Flashback"
"Lucy" Mirajane looking straight at her.
"Hai Mira?'
"Why don't you go and grab some food while we try to find seats."
"Huh?! How come? Why doesn't Natsu get it" She states pointed at the dragon slayer. Mirajane without changing her appearance looks at Lucy. "Well Lucy, Natsu he might get the food, but knowing him, he will run off towards somewhere else." Looking at her with only a smile. Lucy then noticed a glare smile of you-don't-want-that-to-happen-now-do-we kind of look... Lucy nodded rapidly. Leaving as suggested.
End of Flashback
"Ah… now I remember" she sighs. While grabbing the food, the citizens of the Sindria were heading to the center of the festival. Lucy took notice. What's going on? She thought. She looks towards the crowd and there appeared a tall muscular man with long purple hair. He was dressed in fancy clothing and surround with him was a group of people. She decided to ask the person beside her for information.
"Um excuse me?" Lucy said politely.
"Yes?"
"Um who's that person?"
"You don't know him?!" The stranger grins widely, "Then you must be a traveler. That person over there is our king. He's name is king Sinbad and it seems that he's going to give a speech about now"
"THE KING?!" Lucy shouted which caused the man to jump a little. She thanked the stranger and started too rushed towards her friends.
"MINA!" she yelled, running towards her comrades. They looked at her concerned. As Lucy finally made it to the table. Breathing heavily.
"Lucy-san are you alright"
"Yeah Lucy are you alright?"
"Yeah Luce you look horrible" Lucy smacked Natsu. "HEY!" she glared at him, he flinched. "Haha kidding- kidding" Lucy sighs, "Well the reason why I came so quickly here was because the king is going to make a speech soon."
"Yea so what?" Natsu said while eating the food Lucy brought, Lucy once more smacks Natsu in the head. "HEY! What was that for?"
"That was for your ignorance!" she yelled back. "Huh?!" he looked at her, oblivious. "For your information we might be able to grab some more information about this world and maybe they'll talk about the fight that we witness when we first enter this new world." She finally said.
"That's a great idea Lucy-san" Wendy smiles
"Yeah we should get going, we don't want to miss such an important speech now do we" Mirajane looking compose evermore.
"Yeah whatever" With that they proceeded to the center of Sindria there the King was giving his great speech. In that speech, it seems that they were in a recent war with someone but won a great triumph. To their surprise they were in the middle of it. So that's why they were fighting, they thought. Soon the king was giving out the names of the hero's that help them win this war. The King began to introduce them.
"Allow my introduce you Alibaba Saluja, Ren Hakuryuu, Morgiana and Aladdin" The crowd roared. Their eyes widen.
"Ne Mira-san aren't they those the kids that brought a huge amount of gold into the kingdom?"
"Yeah your right Wendy and if memory serves me right Natsu also got a chance to talk with them right?" Mirajane clapped her hands cheerfully. Lucy nodded, she was about to talk with Natsu about how he felt but as turning around. She sees Natsu eyes widen grinning from ear to ear. This did not look good... The next thing he did was the thing he's always good at.
"YO! ALIBABA ALD-"Lucy and Wendy quickly rushed over and covered Natsu mouth, causing them both fall in unison. Mirajane chuckled. Natsu looked at the two girls dumbfounded. You could also see that Alibaba noticed Natsu Voice and was trying to search for him. The crowd was also in lost. The King was also in shock, but didn't lose his composure. He continue, but not without looking at Alibaba and the rest, eyeing them that they need to explain on what just had happened.
The only people that knew about this were the close bystanders. They chuckled when seeing Lucy and Wendy on top of the trouble maker. Lucy glared at Natsu, as for Wendy she sighs of relief.
"NATSU! ARE YOU CRAZY! We could have gotten caught!" She yelled,
"Now, Now Lucy don't be so hard on Natsu. It was quite entertaining don't you think so Wendy?" Placing one of her hand on her cheek looking at Wendy with an innocent smile. Wendy nervously laughs. Feeling relief that Natsu didn't fight back. In the end Natsu apologizes and they went on their way. Enjoying the festival.
*Back with Magi*
"Uncle Sinbad so their other magi beside me?"
"Yes. You know one of them very well yourself. The Kou Empire's magi, Judar. He has deep ties to Al Tharmen, and as such, he is a magi to be wary of." Aladdin stood quiet, letting Sinbad to continue. "The second one is the wandering Magi, Yunan. The one who caused Dungeon No. 1 to appear 15 years ago." This made Aladdin curious. 15 years he thought.
"The first Dungeon, you mean?"
"Yes, His intentions and motives are unclear. He's simply an enigma, but the most shrouded mystery at this time is… The Lean Empire's magi, Sheheherazade. She's the legendary magi who's said to have supported the empire for the last two hundred years."
"Two hundred years?" Aladdin said in utter shock.
"I know it may be somewhat hard to believe, but there's no question that Leam's current prosperity is due to her power." Aladdin took that into consideration. It was hard to believe someone as powerful as her still lives on.
"And, so Aladdin will you go to Leam for me" Sinbad looks at Aladdin with determination and confidence "As the magi of the Kingdom of Sindria?" Aladdin stared at Sinbad, he gave a small smile. In which case he gave an answer to the impatient king.
"Uncle Sinbad… I am not a magi of this country yet, you know." Sinbad had is head down, his eyes glare not at Aladdin but at the fact that it didn't go the way he wanted. He then smiled, laughing. "Hahaha you are right" He continued, "Give this conversation some thought after the festival" he said, getting up and leaving the table. While turning he raised his arm. "Just enjoy yourself as much as possible tonight!" leaving Aladdin alone.
"You're Highness! You're Highness! Please don't fall asleep in a place like this!" Kobun pleaded.
"Here why doesn't she take this" Said a woman offering a cup of water. Ka Kobun looked up and saw the most beautiful women he ever saw. She has long white hair and a face of an angel. The women spoke again. "Excuse me" she said politely "Do you mind if I gave her this" This brought Ka Kobun back into reality.
"Ah yes! Of course!" He tried waking up the princess. He somehow manages to get the princess up.
"Nooo Ka Kobun I don't want to leave!" She whined. "Lord Sinbad said that I'm able to stay here as long as I pleased." Ka Kobun tried to convince the princess that she couldn't and that they needed to leave but it was all to fail. She wouldn't budge.
That was until the women spoke again. In her innocent and cheerful voice she spoke to the princess. "You know Lord Sinbad told me once that he loves girls who are dependable." She said handing the cup water to the princess. She looked at the lady with a hint of blush. She spoke. "Really?" The women nodded. She then drank the water and for some odd reason she didn't feel tipsy or drunk. She felt that sober. Her eyes widen, A-Amazing. She thought. She directed her head towards the women to thank her, but she suddenly disappears.
"Ka Kobun where is the kind lady that left?" She look to see where her companion was but he also left. She looked at her surroundings. Where in the world are they? This displeases the princess. As she was about to leave Sinbad arrived in the nick of time.
"HUH! Lord Sinbad!" She said in a shocked voice. The King smiled "It seems you you're feeling fine and here I thought I offer you a drink of water" he eyed the drink.
"Huh? Wasn't it you who sent the kind lady to give me water?" This gave Sinbad a curious look to the princess. And once again without losing his smile he question the princess. "Princess Kougyoku would you mind telling me how did this lady look like?"
"OH Yes of course lord Sinbad- but…" She hesitated a little Sinbad seem too noticed and looked at her with only a smile. "What is it princess?" He said in a sweet gentle voice, smoothing the princess. He careless her hand. She blushes on sight.
"Ah well I only saw her face" She said a little soft. Sinbad patted her head. "It's fine. I will understand why you won't tell me. However I would feel disappointment knowing that you don't trust me enough to tell me-"He looked to his side. Showing a sad looking face. This caused the princess to quickly react. "Ah well" the princess continued. "She was a very beautiful she has long, white hair, which curls slightly at the ends. I'm sorry Lord Sinbad, but I only saw her face nothing more." Sinbad was pleased, knowing a little information is more than enough for him. Even though it wasn't much for him but the information is still information. Sinbad then takes Kougyoku on a walk. He tells her that he wants their blissful time to last forever and she agrees. It was easy for him to manipulate Kougyoku... Ja'far catches him and remarks that he's an evil person for manipulating Kougyoku, but Sinbad replies that she's valuable, and the same goes for Alibaba and his friends. Ja'far says that he's become a person he didn't want to become, but this is a road he took.
*Back to the present*
"I was told I'd meet you if I came here. Chalk up another one for number one"
"Well, well I almost forgot about you" There sat a man with long blonde hair. He's outfit shown wearing a very long, crimson vest with golden edges, reaching down to his knees and closed few inches above his waist on the front, something which leaves his legs free, over a cream-colored shirt, with a prominent collar, whose corners are held in place by buttons, and mildly loose sleeves, ending in cuffs decorated by intricate motifs. He smirks at the boy "Would you help me remember?"
Gray tilt his head as he stared at the man with determined eyes "Don't bother racking your brain. This is the end of line for you."
"Oh, my! Fairy Tail's Gray and Sabertooth's Rufus are going to duel in the library area!" Chapati yelled with excitement.
*In the stands*
With the battle between Gray and Rufus about to commence, Romeo asks Mavis if she predicted the meeting between the two Make-Mages to which she replies that she did. Hearing the news Warren and others think that Gray would be a clear winner with Mavis' calculations. However…
"The victor of this battle will be uncertain"
"HUH?!"
"N-Number one what do you mean?" Mavis confirms that the victor of this battle was still uncertain but that it was vital that Gray wins as she tells them how Rufus is a key member to Sabertooth's strategy. She remembers back to when she told Team Fairy Tail about how Rufus needed to be taken out as soon as possible.
"B-But why did Gray ask to fight Rufus then?!" Romeo asked.
"Romeo, Gray demanded that he should be the one to battle Rufus for Lucy's and the guild's sake." Romeo understood but still worried for Gray. Now with the battle about to begin, Mavis turns towards the big screen where she sees Gray and Rufus about to fight. Mavis closes her eyes as a flash back appeared. There Mavis asks Gray to show her the power of his emotions that would overcome Sabertooth's Memory-Make Mage. Gray looking determined as ever smirks at Mavis giving her the ok. That he will defeat him.
As Fairy Tail pay attention to the screen Mavis felt someone other than Fairy Tail in the stands. She looks behind her and there she saw a girl. She seems out of breath and looked worried… no more like distress. Something must have happen with Natsu and the rest. If she remembers correctly her name should be Yukino. The girl from Sabertooth- But why? Would she come here if there both enemies? Master Makarov took notice that Mavis wasn't looking at the game anymore and was staring at something else. He followed her eyes to where it landed on…. YUKINO!
"Yukino!" His eyes widen, He was shock to see a member of a Sabertooth here in front of them. The members of Fairy Tail were also shocked but that shock soon turned into anger. They were ready to fight.
"Oi what bring a Sabertooth member here?" Freed looking intrigue of a member of a Sabertooth is right in front of them.
"Yeah what would a Sabertooth want from us!?" Jet giving a stance, readying to fight.
"Hey do you think she's here to spy on us?!" Droy said while eating a piece of chicken.
"No way! You got to be kidding me!" says Evergreen looking in disbelief that they would send a girl to all the dirty work.
"They sure got some balls" Bickslow smirks, getting ready to fight. Yukino flinched, she started to back away a little. She was scared. She knew that Sabertooth and Fairy Tail aren't in good terms with them at the moment but she needed to tell them. Not for her sack but for her new friends that helped her when she was feeling down. With all her might she tried not looking scared. Her heart was pounding she felt the palms of her hands were getting sweaty. She knew right away that she wasn't going to be welcome.
"umm.." Yukino opened her mouth only to be talked over. "Why don't you leave!" Cana stared at Yukino with anger in her eyes. Yukino flinched "W-Wait If you let me…"
"NO NEED!" Cana said in a stern voice. "We don't need anything from you! Not after what your guild has done with Lucy and the rest" Cana was infuriate. She was ready to pull out her cards and fight Yukino here and there but before she could do anything. Master Mavis stopped Cana from doing so.
"Cana!" she called.
"B-But First Master?!" Mavis only shook her head as she looked at Yukino. It seems to her there was something important, knowing that she would get this kind of response she still had the courage to confront Fairy Tail. Mavis looked at Makarov he sighs and looks at Yukino. Yukino anticipate the Master guild responds. She clenched her hands tight, her eyes tight shut waiting for what's to come. But she didn't feel anything. She thought that she was going to get a beat down or even yelled at but she only felt a soft, gentle hand on her head. Patting her like she was a good little girl. She final broke down crying not because she was scared but because she never felt this type of warmth before in her pervious guild. It was a new experience for her which made her heart flutter. The guild look shocked and also guilty at the same time.
"Now then" the master spoke. "What is it that you needed to tell us child" Yukino lifted her head up as she began to tell them what happen with Natsu and the rest.
*Back to Gray Vs Rufus*
Rufus only smirked keeping his head down looking at his book. Gray made his stance as he placed to hands together. Rufus suddenly closed his book. "Ice make! Freeze Lancer!" Ice suddenly appear as spears headed towards Rufus. It was getting closer and closer until Rufus quickly jumped away from the attack. Still in the air he mumbles to himself "Memorize…" there he landed on the floor, now standing in front of Gray. Gray to this opportunity "You're not getting away! Ice Impact!" once again he slams his two hands together creating another ice figure. It headed towards Rufus but quickly dodges it. Once again in mid-air he adjusts his hat and mumbles "Memorize..."
"What are you muttering about?"
"Memories become weapons."
"huh?"
"I can memorize magic that I can see, then use that those memories as a base to mold a new magic."
"What the hell is that?"
"Your magic, Ice make. Orga's thunder magic, Lighting Magic" he stares at Gray "Orga… I remember, Memory Make. Sword of Frozen Black Lighting." He uses Memory to create Memory-Make: Sword of Frozen Black Lightning and attacks Gray with it, shocking Gray with its power. Rufus once again attacks Gray with his Memory-Make: Shrine of Turbulent Fang. Gray uses his Ice-Make: Shield to block Rufus' attack, but Rufus makes Gray's shield disappear by memorizing and forgetting it, allowing his attack to hit Gray. Rufus laughs at a defeated Gray, but Gray struggles to get up.
"haha what's wrong? I thought this was the end of the line for me?" Rufus walks towards Gray but as doing so he sees a book on the floor. Him being intrigue he use his magic to levitate it up so that he was able to see it. Not only one book but a few more.
"What's this?" he looks curiously. "Oh The Magic System, The Book of the Heaven…"
"The book of the Abyss, Advance dark magic... Awaking Alchemy in the Subliminal Mind, Ancient Fairy Magic" He chuckles "I found some good things here- Oh" Rufus eyes widen. "What's this? Wisdom of Solomon? Interesting"
"Bastard... This is no time for casual reading!" Before Rufus could have a look on the last one. Gray attacks Rufus before he read anymore but that didn't matter to him because he read enough to memorize.
"Gray has manage to get up!" the crowed looked in awe. From the Domus Flau, Max, Warren, Levy and Elfman watch in shock of how Rufus was able to make his own spells and worry for Gray's well-being.
"You can still move? Well, if you couldn't I'll make the most of our time together by letting you have a taste of ancient magic. However, I can put a different spin on the magic I memorized and combine it with other kinds of magic to produce completely new magic. That is, it's ancient magic with a new interpretation!"
"Line of Ancients Master Swordsmen!" Soldiers appear in front of Gray. Rufus chuckles tilting his hat a bit looking at Gray. "To think, I can create soulless soldiers out of stray elements but this is a new "Interpretation."
"The memories I have of your Ice molding magic have made this brilliant dream come to fruition!"
_*in the stands*
"A-Amazing he created lots of soldiers just like that" Romeo said looking at the Master in shocked. Makarov looked at Gray distress. Not only because of Gray getting hurt but now Natsu and the rest were taken to who knows where. He goes back to Yukino "Is this true? Is that what really happen during Natsu mission to save Lucy?"
"Hai" she responded sadly. Makarov rubs the bridge of this nose. How could this possible happen? Why did they take Natsu and the rest? Makarov was in a pinched. What should he do? He couldn't cause a commotion. He doesn't want the rest of the guild that's participating in the match to find out that their comrades are gone missing.
"Wait so you're saying that Nee-san is also missing?!" Elfman yelled. Yukino nodded, Elfman boiled in anger. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I SHOULD HAVE GONE WITH NEE-SAN!" Elfman scolded himself and was on the point of leaving and going to the palace himself. His sister tried to hold him back but he insisted to leave and head to the palace.
"ELFMAN!" Makarov yelled. Elfman quickly look behind and stared that the Master.
"What I can't just sit here and do nothing! I need to go and save Nee-san... I don't want to feel that experience again!" He cried.
"Elfman you just can't go off on your own not knowing how to get there"
"I don't care! I'll just find a way then" As Elfman was about to leave he felt a huge bang on his head. Which hurt him a lot. It turns out that it was Master Makarov huge bang that gave him the smack.
"OW!"
"You idiotic child you must calm down. Rushing won't solve anything. Right now we need to think of a plan on how to get into contact with Natsu and the rest. As in deep thought Mavis spoke.
"Makarov"
"Yes first Master?"
"Do not fret for I knew that this was coming"
"WHAT!" They all looked at her shocked.
*Gray and Rufus*
With no defense against Rufus' attack, Gray is hurled into the air while his fellow members and the crowd watch in shock of Rufus' Magic while Rufus gloats about his power. Rufus then reads several books and memorizes the spells, while the crowd and his guild watch in surprise of the battle. Gray quickly covers the books in ice, however Rufus has already read them all and attacks Gray with another spell. Makarov then asks Mavis of Gray's strategy, with Mavis remarks that he doesn't have a strategy and that she's betting on his feelings.
"Colorful Slashing Attack Flames" Gray tried to withstand the fire being blasted at him but it was to strang that it flung him in the air causing him to crash the wall. He slid down as Rufus looks at Gray with a smug look.
"Remember this. You'll never beat me"
"This is one-sided fight so far. In the battle of molding magic, will Rufus win?" Chapati shouted.
Rufus chuckles "I admit it, I underestimated you in a bit. I didn't think you would hang on to this long and I'm grateful to you. For being my guinea pig today as I test the ancient magic I memorize!"
"Showing Ancient Wisdom!"
"UGHH ARGH!"
*Back to Fairy Tail*
"Haha haha L-Luce d-did you see how that guy looked!" Natsu said between laughter. Smacking Lucy from behind.
"Yea, yea I have…Natsu would you quite smacking me! It's starting to hurt!" Lucy whined. "Ah haha gomen Luce, didn't mean to" giving a cheeky grin.
"Now, now Lucy It was a pretty funny play" Mirajane smiled, looking pleased as ever. "Don't you think so Wendy? She nodded in responding. "Hai Mirajane, it was very interesting" she giggles.
"But still it's thanks to Wendy that were able to enjoy such pleasant festival!" Charla said, Wendy blushed.
"By the way Mira-san where did you run off to?" Wendy looked at her curiously. Lily also looked at Mirajane curiously. "Yeah where did you run off to?"
"Hehe There's no need to worry about that Wendy, Lily" She gave Wendy a cheerful smile. Wendy was unsure but didn't question neither did Lily. Happy on the other hand felt his bag a little heavier. "Eh?" He moved his shoulder, grabbing his bag, untying it and relieving a small box. Natsu took notice.
"Oi Happy what you got there?"
"Aye I don't know Natsu" he said handing him the box. Natsu took it and started to examine it. He couldn't figure it out so he gave it to Lucy. Who to her surprise was very shocked?
"Happy where did you get this?!" Lucy shouted, almost causing the crowd to look their way.
"Aye! I-I don't know it just suddenly appear!"
"Lucy what's wrong" Mirajane looked at the object that was held in Lucy's hand. "Is everything alright?" She looked at her worriedly.
"Ah yes I am it's just- could this be."
"Oh a portable Lacrima vision" Mirajane looked surprised.
"A portable what?" Natsu looks at the small box curiously.
"A portable lacrima vision Natsu" Mirajane spoke. Lucy eye widen. "Mirajane do you perhaps know about it?"
"Hai!" She smiles. The group smiled with joy. "But" she continue making the group look at her worried. "We should go somewhere private. This place has too many people." Mirajane suggest a quieter place in order for her to explain. The gang retreated to a secluded area. Where there was no one in sight.
"So Mirajane how did it end up in Happy bag?"
"Well Natsu that I can't tell you because I don't know how it got there in the first place"
"What really?!"
"Hai, but what I do know is that this is one of many Lacrima version." Natsu and the rest looked at her confused.
"What do you mean Mira? There's other version of this in different shapes and form?" says Lucy.
"Hai Lucy this Lacrima is one of many. The one that we have right now is a Lacrima vision it allows us to see images of locations. In other words" She clicks a button and there appears a hologram and in that hologram was the grand magic games.
"LOOK!" Lucy shouted, pointing at the hologram. There they saw Gray fighting Rufus and by the looks of it he's losing. Every time Gray starts to attack Rufus was able to make him stop somehow and stop him from using his magic.
"Oi this can't be happening right now" Natsu looked in disbelief. They see Gray being attack multiply of times. Rufus was joying every second of it. He gave a smug look at Gray as he extended his arm and chanted. "Showing Ancients Wisdom!" Gray being forced to lay on his back, a full force of gravity was preventing him from getting up.
"Oi Gray get up!" Natsu shouted.
"Gray-san" Wendy trembled. Her hands automatically went to her mouth. The shocking image was unbearable.
"GRAY!" both Lucy and Mirajane yelled.
"Aye Natsu what's happening? Is Gray going to lose?"
"OF COURSE NOT!" Natsu looks at his furry little friend. He clenches his fist as he reverts back to the video. Rufus spoke.
"The ancients certainly did come up with some heart stoppers. There's nothing I can't do with this magic. You're sensing the firsthand, aren't you? I can even control gravity. At this rate, you'll be crushed but the light and there's no way you can escape!"
Natsu clenching his fist, all he heard was his comrade yelling in pain. It wasn't only effecting Natsu it was affecting the rest of his friends as well. He looks towards his comrades and saw the facial expression everyone gave. All of them look in shock to see Gray in such state they also had the same feeling that Natsu as had. He reverts back to the hologram.
"Gray" he utters.
Back in the library area the fight continues as Rufus boasts about his powers to Gray, still on the floor being press by gravity started to recall something. He slowly gets up "yeesh As if.." Gray started to move little by little.
"You can still move?!"
"Defeat, you say?" He gets up and remembers Ur and all the battles he's won. "Molding magic is magic that gives you freedom. Isn't that right, UI" he smirks, "On top of that," Finally getting up on his own 2 feet. "My memories. Ul, the battle I won with your magic, and what I got from them. The feeling I sensed from them..."
"Hey Gray! Quit dilly-dallying and take this guy out!"
"hmp" Gray smirks, "Shut up! That's just I'm about to do!" clashing his both hands he slams it on the floor. Ice reached up to Rufus but he quickly dodges it.
Oh, my! Has Gray Fullbuster started to counterattack at last?!"
"GRAY!" Lucy shouted in excitement.
Natsu crossed his arms, giving a smirk. "Tch, finally he's getting a move on"
"Loos like you still asking for more huh"
"Nah, I had plenty of that! Memory Make is pretty damn impressive. But you know, my own memories can turn into a big ass power, too.
"That's quite interesting thing to say. What kind of memories do you have?"
"I doubt you'd understand. The pain of getting hit, the frustration of losing, the joy of winning, all of that. They've drive been driven into this body, these fists, and this head. It becomes my strength in the next fight. All of my battles up to now, those memories, they are all my power! The power that's gonna knock you for a loop is my memories!" Gray then strips off his top, much to the surprise of the crowd, Chapati and Juvia.
"My, my that Gray" Mirajane smiles, Lucy sighs. Carla flew over to cover Wendy's face. "Wendy cover you eyes!"
"ahh Carla!"
"YEAH THAT RIGHT GRAY! KICK 'EM TO THE CURVE!" Natsu shouted.
"That's a unique logic . But I don't care for it. Typically, the weaker the dog, the more it barks. Or so they say."
"You don't like it? Not that I give a damn."
"Remembering is learning. You shouldn't use it to focus on emotions"
"Your memories are only emotions. There's not enough honor. The memories you have are going to destroy you."
"What?!"
"Since getting the seal of Fairy Tail, I've never lost against the same opponent twice."
"Oh do you have some kind of plan?" Gray prepares one of his spells and Rufus gets ready to memorize the attack but then Rufus realizes that what Gray prepared was no ordinary spell. Gray then begins shaping a large amount of blades at an incredible speed, shocking even Rufus with his amount of skill.
"Amazing but even so, it's just ice- Memory Make! Karma of the burning Earth!" Attacking Gray with a full force of flames. Rufus thinking that he had won. Suddenly Gray forces his way through, telling Rufus that he's faced stronger flames and then attacks Rufus with Ice-Make: Ice Bringer. Rufus then falls to the ground after taking Gray's attack, much to the relief of Mavis
"You showed us... the power of your feelings and their strength" Mavis being relief of this battle looked at Makarov. She stood up to the guild surprise she looked determined then ever. She extended her arms and suddenly there appears a small box in her palm of her hands. Yukino eyes widen.
"Master Mavis i-is that a Portable Lacrima vision!" Yukino shouted. Mavis looks at Yukino and nodded.
"Hai Yukino" Then the box suddenly disappears from her grasp. This action shocked Yukino and the rest.
"Where did it go?"
Mavis looks at Yukino giving her a soft smile. "Don't worry. I'm sure it will come in hand for them" Makarov eyes widen. "You're not telling me that you-"
"Yes but-" looking out in the battle of Gray and Rufus she notice a particular book that wasn't supposed to be in this world.
"First Master?" Makarov looked worried. Mavis looked back "Don't worry just have faith in Natsu and the rest… I'm sure there able to come back" with that Yukino, Makarov and the rest of Fairy tail looked at her with a concern look. Gray catches Rufus' hat from the air. Chapati announces Gray to be victorious. Gray on the other hand felt something was off. He started to walk around the library. It seems that he was trying to find something. As he retrace his step he finally found the thing that he was looking for. He picked it up, it was the book that Gray manage to get away from Rufus. He wasn't much of a reader but something about this book was off. It wasn't that he was idiot or something he knew he's books very well but he never encounter a book like this.
As he open the book he's eyes widen. "What in the world!" The book was title "The kingdom of Magic. Magi" This raised his suspicion even more.
"It seems that Rufus wasn't a very good title reader." He looks through the page and he couldn't believe his eyes. There were so much unknown information in this book. He went to were Rufus laid his eyes. There. He thought.
"Solomon Wisdom" once again this surprised Gray. He needed to get this book back to Master Makarov maybe he'd know something about this.
*Back to the magic world*
Mirajane who was holding onto the portable lacrima vision turns it off and handed it back to Happy. They all headed back to the festival but this time they weren't that excited anymore. Not for the fact that Gray got injured but the fact that they forgot all about the grand magic games and were having fun in this new world. Mirajane tried to change the mood. She headed near Wendy and started a talk about fun things. Mirajane nudged Lucy, giving her the look. Lucy nodded. Lucy took this opportunity to and try to cheer up Natsu who was being super quite. This didn't suit the normal character of Natsu and she hated that Natsu was being so quite.
"Ne Natsu why are you so quite?"
"huh?"
Lucy pouted, she grabbed Natsu cheeks and started to pull them apart. She thought that by pulling his cheeks apart he would react but to her surprise he didn't. This pissed Lucy more as she pulled them more until she got tired of it. She then suddenly got an idea.
"Mhm I wonder if Gray was right?" She said it loud enough to get his attention and it seemed to work. Natsu glance at Lucy, like a little 5 year old kid wanting to know if something up. This caused Lucy to chuckle a little. She continues. "Mhmm maybe what Gray said to me was true. Is he possibly the strongest mage in Fairy Tail" Natsu quickly turns around and faced Lucy.
"THAT GRAY! When I get my hands on him…" he yells. "Oi Lucy what else did Gray-"Lucy was cracking up laughing. Natsu looks at Lucy with a confused. He then turn crimson red, he finally realize why she was laughing. Natsu only looked away but he was now stomping the ground.
"Are you done yet?"
"Hahah yeah I'm done" whipping the tears away from her eyes. Natsu grins "So what should we do now?" he said looking at Lucy all cheerfully. Lucy thought for a bit and notice a huge building. She points at the building and suggested to head towards it. Natsu looked at her confused but went along with it. Soon they both headed towards the building together.
*With Aladdin*
Night falls as Aladdin sat on the ledge of a building. Eating his grapes he wonders. On what he should do about this uncertain feeling. "Aladdin?" said a boy coming towards Aladdin
"Alibaba-kun"
"So you were here" he chuckles.
"I went to see Miss Duyna-san was doing, but she still hasn't woken up yet." Aladdin looking a little depress. Alibaba came near his friend, confronting him.
"I see" He responded. "I haven't been able to go see her yet myself… For some reason she reminds me of Cassim, and it's kind of painful…" Alibaba expression was sadness. Something like that, he didn't want anyone to go through what his dear best friend went through. He continues. "But, after seeing her memories, I just can forgive Al Tharmen." Aladdin smile at Alibaba, agreeing with his idea.
"Alibaba, I love the world we're living in, I love the people here…." A Flashback came from his own world. "I won't ever let this world end." He said full with hope. Clutching his flute. Alibaba spot to see Aladdin face more determined than ever.
"Yeah"
However, he wonders where should he go next? How was he able to achieve this goal of his? Sometime later fireworks started to shoot out everyone was in awe. Alibaba and Aladdin smiled. Suddenly both heard girl yelling. They both turned around and there, they see Natsu running up the stairway. Their eyes widen.
"NATSU!" They both yelled, Natsu stopped his track, turn his head towards and grins.
"Hey Alibaba, Aladdin what's up!" He grins. Alibaba and Aladdin walk towards him. "Natsu what bring you here to the festival?" Alibaba said curiously. Natsu was about to respond when he hears groaning coming from the background.
"Natsu- how are you able to come up here so fast without getting so tired." She said walking towards Natsu. But she didn't notice that there were other people here as well.
"Oh~" Alibaba nudges Natsu on the arm. "I didn't know you brought a lady here" snickering at Natsu. Natsu looked at him confused.
"Huh? You mean Lucy? Yea we came here to see a better view of the town." He said carelessly. Which gave Alibaba quite a shock.
"Y-you mean she's you girlfriend!" Alibaba yelled. When Natsu heard this, his face flushed bright red. "O-OF COURSE NOT! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT." He yelled.
"Meant by what Natsu?" Lucy said now next to Natsu. He laughed nervously as he shook off what Alibaba said. "Ah it's nothing Lucy" She nodded, she looked at Alibaba and Aladdin and gave them a nice smile.
"Hello it seems we haven't met. My name is Lucy, its nice meeting you Alibaba and Aladdin" giving them a sweet smile. They both looked at her confused.
"How do you know our names Miss Lucy-san?"
"eh?! oh… umm-" Lucy clumsily spoke without thinking, forgetting that she wasn't supposed to know them. "Um- Oh yeah! The king.. Yeah the king. When he announce the hero's that helped protected Sindria. That's how I knew your names"
Alibaba placed his thump and point finger on his chin creating a 'L' shape. He places one of his leg on a rock. As he looks far in the distance. "You know, I even surprise myself. If I'm this famous. I wonder if there will be girls asking me out soon" he said looking smug as ever.
"Yeah…" Aladdin eyes wondered causing Alibaba to react harshly. Lucy and Natsu started to chuckle. Aladdin and Alibaba took notice and laughed with them.
"Now then, its nice meeting you Lucy" Alibaba extended his arm, wanting to shake Lucy's hand. But before he could. His eyes widen in shocked. "ALADDIN!" he cried. Lucy felt a sudden pressure on her chest. Alibaba looked at this scene unfold in disbelief.
"Mmm boobs" Aladdin said while rubbing his face on it. "Ah such huge boobs!" Alibaba tried to talk but couldn't get the right words out of his mouth. Lucy boiling with anger punched Aladdin on his head causing him to wincing in pain, crouching on the floor.
"YOU PERV!" She yells, Aladdin looked at her blanked. "Ow that hurts Miss Lucy-san and here I thought that you were a nice person. You're just like Miss Yamraiha" He was now standing up.
"Miss Yamraiha? Who's that?" Lucy looked at him curiously. Aladdin looked at her with a grin "Ah she helps me with my magic. She's also my teacher. She specialize in water magic." Oh just like Juvia both Lucy and Natsu thought. "She's also pretty despite her violent side and a sharp tongue. She's an awesome teacher!" Aladdin said with full joy and excitement.
"Wah~~ amazing!" Lucy clapped her hands together. "What kind of magician are you then? Fire? Ice?" Lucy looked at Aladdin really curiously. Aladdin took into a deep thought
"If I had to say. I would think that my specialty would be fire" Lucy eyes widen. "Amazing so you can also use fire magic. Can we see it!" Lucy looked at the magi curiously. Aladdin rubbing the back of his head as he looked at Lucy unsure. Lucy took notice and changed her expression from excited to worry. "You can't use it?" Aladdin noticed Lucy worried expression. He quickly waved his hands. "Ah no It's not like that Miss Lucy it's just I don't have my staff with me and…" Before he could finish Natsu grins, cracking his knuckles. "Aladdin!" He said surprise the little magi. "Yeah Natsu-san?" Aladdin looking at him clueless Lucy eyes widen, you got to be kidding me. She mentally yelled herself.
"Let's have a match!" says Natsu clutching his fist. Lucy eyes widen "Wait- WHAT! NATSU!" But before she could have stopped Natsu his fist was already in flames. This action made Alibaba and Aladdin looked at him in amazed.
"N-Natsu your hand!" Alibaba shouted. "It's burning!"
"Huh" It took Natsu 5 mins to figure out what he has done. "Oh this-" His eyes looked to the left. He anxiously looks at Lucy, Who only respond was glaring at him.
"Natsu-san?" Aladdin now getting more intrigue of Natsu's magic. "Natsu what type of magic is that?" Lucy and Natsu both jumped. "A-ah F-Fire Magic" He sweated profoundly trying to hide the fact that he just relived something he shouldn't have. Aladdin was more intrigue than ever before. Aladdin continues. "Natsu-san how are you able to summon fire with a staff?" he awaited for his answer. Natsu jerked and so did Lucy. This did not look well.
"Ah well- "Before Lucy was about to make an excuse a huge explosion happen in the middle of the festival. This distracted Alibaba and Aladdin.
"Alibaba! Look!" Aladdin pointed at the huge smoke appearing.
"Aladdin let's go" with that they both left leaving Lucy and Natsu alone. Happy appeared in front of them. "NATSU!" he shouted.
"What's going on Happy?"
"Y-you can't believe it!"
*With Mirajane and Wendy*
"Mira-san this is so much fun!" Wendy admiring the festival to the fullest. They enjoyed the atmosphere in this town. Wendy and Mirajane walked everywhere.
Mirajane noticed that Wendy was still thinking about the grand magic games. She knew that Wendy was worried about her friends back in the past but what was there that they can do. Mirajane placed his hand onto Wendy's shoulder.
"Ah hai? Mira-san" Mirajane only smiled at the response. "Wendy we will get back so don't worry kay" Wendy smiled, nodding in agreement.
"Hai Mira-san but… That's not the only thing that bothers me." Mirajane looks at her confused.
"About what?"
"That voice while being unconscious she told us to help this world right?" Wendy was getting onto something. Mirajane eyes widen.
"That's right Wendy!"
"Mhp of course Wendy will be right!" Carla, Lily nodded "Yes as expected of Wendy." Wendy blushed of embarrassment.
"But the real question is what? What is it that we need to help them in?" says Mirajane. As they both walking around the festival. They here a huge explosion coming from the place where the king made his speech.
"Oi what's going?" Lily shouted, you could see the citizens of Sindria running away from the attack. "Wendy let's go." They both ran towards the attack. There they met up with Natsu and the rest it seems that they both came in the right time because right in front of them where Alibaba, Aladdin and Morgiana they were not alone there came the generals and none other than the king of this country. King Sinbad. Alibaba seem to notice Natsu, his eyes widen.
"N-Natsu" Alibaba shouted. Natsu gave a sheepish smile, waving at Alibaba.
"Y-Yo" Sinbad came forth into battle. He crossed his arm as a smile crept onto Sinbad face. As he faced his enemy right in the eyes.
"Well then what do we have here"
