Chapter 40
Lets Go!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, only my own OC's and ideas.
Within seconds all of the running soldiers were blown backward in flashes of silver light and their bewildered shouts echoed through the square,
"Run!" Frea ordered and at once they took off, dodging around the fallen soldiers and rushing through the town until they left the chaos behind and stopped down a dark alley, panting. Frea pulled her hood back up and noticed that they gave her a bewildered look, she sighed.
"What's the Hood for?" Grey asked.
"I sort of look like two wanted criminals..." Frea muttered. "You'd be surprised at how easily recognizable I am here."
"What is going on? Where are we?" Erza demanded.
"Edolas." Frea replied. "Its an alternate universe apart from EarthLand, that's where we live." She explained and everyone blinked in surprise as a man that looked almost exactly Gajeel showed up and the two hooked their arms over each other's shoulders.
"Who the hell is this?" Erza, Gray and Frea asked at the same time and the two look-a-likes gave them that weird snicker.
"Gi Hee... This handsome guy here is Edolas me, he helped me figure out the rescue plan." Gajeel smirked.
"Impressive escape, I must say." The Edolas Gajeel smiled and Erza stared them down for a minute before turning her attention back to Frea.
"Never mind that, Frea, explain everything." Erza ordered. Both Gajeel's faces fell as Gray let a comment split about Erza not caring about Gajeel's comment of being handsome. Frea couldn't resist a smile at the comment, but she took a deep breath after a moment and prepared to explain what was going on.
"Magnolia was sucked into and Anima and everyone in the Guild was turned into a Giant Lacrima, besides Gajeel and I. And for the record, Fairy Tail is considered a Dark Guild." Frea started. "I think Wendy and Natsu might be here somewhere... anyway, Edolas has a limited supply of Magic Energy, so they are planning on extracting the Magic from the Lacrima made from Magnolia." Frea explained. "If that happens, we can say goodbye to everybody."
"Why aren't we a Lacrima?" Gray asked.
"You were up until about ten minutes ago, what do you think the Iron-Head and I were doing back there? We were saving you." Frea explained.
"What are we gonna do without our Magic?" Erza muttered and the EarthLand Gajeel stepped forward, pulling a glass bottle pull of red pills from his pocket. Frea blinked in surprise once she realized what they were, the same thing Mystogan had given her.
"These will let you use your Magic here." Gajeel explained and handed a pill to Erza and Grey, "Your right Silver, the Pyro and the Sky kid should be here somewhere, I don't know where though." Frea looked away for a minute,
"That means we have to find the rest of the Guild, and Natsu and Wendy..." Frea murmured. She closed her eyes for a minute and breathed in deeply, ignoring the short conversation Erza had started up with the others. She could pick up on so many different things... people, food, steel...... Nothing that told her where the rest of the Guild was, or the two missing Dragon Slayers.
"Frea?"
Frea opened her eyes and glanced up, taken from her thoughts when someone said her name. "Hmm?" She murmured and her gaze locked on to Erza.
"Could you use that spell of yours? To try and find everyone?" Erza asked and Frea blinked slowly.
"I'm guessing your talking about 'Energy Sense', right?" Frea asked and Erza nodded. Frea let out a soft sigh and clasped her hands together in front of her, resting her chin against them. "It's worth a try, but no promises. I tried this earlier and Edolas' Energy Signature's are very different from the one's back home." She murmured and closed her eyes again.
"Energy Sense." Frea said quietly and her Magic appeared around her, along with the Magic Circle under her feet. Her senses cast out over the city, and she was immediately bombarded with all of the Energy Signatures here. Human... Something that looked like Happy and Carla's Energy Signatures that was coming from somewhere far above them...
She stayed silent for a few more minutes, trying to find anything. She stiffened when she locked onto the traces of two Energy Signature's, one was fiery red, and the other a cool blue... she was surprised to find a shimmering gold one too. Her eyes opened and she let her hands fall,
"Alright. Wendy and Natsu are in the direction of the Castle." Frea murmured. "It sort of looks like Lucy might be there too." Frea explained and she shared the confused look on the others faces.
"The cheerleader ain't a Dragon Slayer, why would she be walking around?" Gajeel huffed and Frea shrugged.
"Don't ask me... Edolas is still confusing, your guess is as good as mine." Frea told him. She moved her gaze over the alley, and she frowned a little. "I wasn't able to find the Guild though..." She muttered.
"Alright here's the plan." Erza said and everyone fixed their attention on her. "Gajeel, your going to try and find the Guild." Erza ordered. "Gray and Frea, your coming with me to find Natsu and Wendy." She told them briskly and they nodded. "Everyone stay safe and be careful, we are all going home." Erza told them.
Gajeel disappeared along with his Edolas Counterpart and Erza motioned for Frea to take the lead as she led them in the direction of Natsu and Wendy's Energy Signatures, setting off at a brisk pace. She made sure to try and steer clear of the bustling soldiers in the city and she sweatdropped a little. The longer they traveled toward the Castle, she was becoming more and more on edge.
She had started to get a bad feeling, and she was aware of an extremely negative and Evil energy getting closer. The closer they got to the castle, less and less people lined the streets. The small group of three came to a sudden stop as a tall young woman with pure white hair and icy blue eyes appeared in the middle of the street ahead of them. She had a very large black sword resting on her shoulder and she wore a black leather outfit, and a long scar stretched across her face.
Frea took a defensive stance, and she was aware of Erza and Grey doing the same thing behind her.
"Hmm... So your the EarthLand Mages I'm supposed to eliminate?" The woman asked and Frea clenched a fist.
"Let me guess, your the King's assassin? Winter Shadelocker?" Frea growled and Winter smiled sadistically.
"Your pretty smart! So, I've been dying to know, how powerful is the EarthLand Frea?" Winter chuckled and Frea frowned.
"Frea, why is Winter the evil one?" Grey asked and she sighed.
"I don't know... but before you ask, she is one of the two reasons I am currently wanted dead or alive." Frea Explained. "The other reason, the Frea here is part of Fairy Tail, and its a dark Guild as I said earlier." She explained quickly. "We don't have time for this, but she isn't someone to mess with, from what I've figured out."
Frea took a step back and placed a hand on Erza's shoulder, channeling her Magic over to the red-head who stared in surprise when she realized what she was doing. Frea channeled a small part of her Magic into Erza, and centered it around the Red-head's eyes, so she could see Natsu and Wendy's Energy Signature's for a short time.
"You two keep going, I'll take her on." Frea told them.
"That's not gonna happen, we're not leaving you behind!" Grey snapped and she smirked, her fangs flashing a little.
"And what choice do you have, Popsicle? You really oughtta have more faith in me," She smiled and chuckled at his annoyed expression when she called him Popsicle. "Erza knows where to go, and I have a feeling those two might be in trouble." She explained. "As soon as I beat her, I'll catch up, ok?"
Erza and Gray exchanged glances and Frea smiled wider, "I promise ok? She said she wanted a fight with me, so she'll get it." Frea pulled her hood down, and rolled her shoulders, hearing them crack. "So go, and I'll see you later." Frea told them and they paused before nodding and running off. Frea turned her silver gaze on Winter Shadelocker and their gazes met, one silver and one icy blue.
"You sound certain you can beat me." Winter pointed out with a smile and Frea nodded, giving the assassin a smirk.
"I'm pretty sure I can, after all," Frea wrapped her fist in her Magic and ran forward. "I'm a Mage of Fairy Tail!"
