Arcin: Hello... I know the update is late and I'm sorry I just started school so I haven't gotten around to it till now. But I will tell you that I'm thinking of ending this book soon.

Zara: What?

Arcin: Yeah I have the ending ready and it's pretty much all set up for the ending so I'm thinking it be good to finish. Besides I've been working on this book for... is it almost 2 years now. I've had the ending ready for a while so I think it's a good time to finish it up on a high.

Zara: B-but

Arcin: Don't worry about it Zara I'm sure everyone will be ready for when the ending comes along.

Lucy: Yeah but if you finish the book that means we don't get to talk to you anymore.

Arcin: Um... yeah well. I've been thinking about it for awhile. But I do need some time to set up the next chapter to introduce the ending chapters so don't worry.

Roxanne: Yeah let Arcin work on other things... like getting my book done and out for the contest it's in on Inkitt.

Zara: Hey stop stealing Arcin away! Bother her when she's working on your book!

Arcin: Roxie I told you not to promote the book on this story.

Roxanne: Well you need all the help you can get since you have pretty much no social media that will help you expand your readers of the book.

Arcin: Hey! It's a choice. L-lucy while I deal with this can you do the disclaimer.

Lucy: Sure Arcin. Arcin Enroth does not own Fairy Tail or any of its characters. She only owns her own character and the over crossing story with the original.

Back to Where This all Began

Chapter 37

(Zara's POV)

Time skip- one month later

"That took longer than we thought." I muttered. "Yeah who would have thought that thing would be so hard to find." Aria sighed. "It was not too surprising." Leaf huffed.

I pushed open the guild hall doors I noticed Natsu over with the others I didn't think if bothering him but he actually saw me and went over to me. "Zara how did things go?" he asked. "Fine took way longer than expected though to complete it. The stupid thing was a pain to find." I told him.

"Well, you finished it at least. But we actually go two new members when you were gone. This is Wendy and Carla." Natsu introduced me. "Nice to meet you two. Hey besides that did anything else interesting happened?" I asked. "Well we were sent to another world." he told me. "That's pretty cool. And you came back alive so that's a bonus." I chuckled.

"Very funny. But you should have seen the place. It had floating islands, and magic was limited there too." he exclaimed. "If I was a normal person that would have sounded very interesting. But I see weird things like that often Natsu. Though I'm sure you had one underworld of a good time." I chuckled.

"So when are you going one your next mission? I want to come with you." he told me. "Soon," I answered. "This one will be fine if others come along it's not as bad as the other two." Leaf told me.

"We will be leaving tomorrow morning. You don't need to bring much. If you for some reason what to bring other people no more than 6 not including yourself." Aria told him. "Well, we're going to our place to make sure we have all our things packed up see you tomorrow." I told him.

...

It was early morning. We were waiting for Natsu to come along since he said he wanted to come. "What's taking the boy so long?" Leaf muttered. "I did say morning, not early morning Lead so be calm." Aria sighed. "Zara put your robe on with the odd over you head alright." Leaf told me. "Fine." I sighed.

I had my robe on with my hood over my head as I lied down in the grass. When I saw some people come this way. "Sorry, it took so long. I had trouble getting some people to move." Natsu told us. "Thank god you're finally here. Now let's go." Leaf huffed.

"Hold on. Aria said I could bring some people so I brought my team." Natsu told him. "She did say that." I chuckled.

When we finally had everyone we left. I followed after Leaf and Aria as I protected the others that came as we went through the gate. Natsu brought along Lucy, Happy, Gary, Erza, Wendy, and Carla I was actually expecting this to happen so this did not surprise me.

We landed on solid ground I looked around to see that we were in a graveyard. "Leaf, Aria where are we?" I asked. "We are in Iris' dimension the one she fought hard to protect. This is what has become of it after 8 years." Aria told me.

"So much death. The town is in such bad shape too." I muttered I felt bad seeing the town in such shape. "What happened here?" Wendy asked Leaf. "Our enemy the dime-invaders happened. They destroyed this town after the protect of it died as it was not really important to them. They leave death a destruction in their path where every they go." he answered.

"He's joking right?" Lucy asked. "No. This is no joke. Me, Leaf, and Aria are fighting a losing battle at the moment. We are the only one's that are able to protect the dimensions at the moment. This is a war that is going on and places like this get caught in the middle." I sighed.

"Things are going to crazy. Portal's have begun opening up at random. An attack is also coming this way." I overheard someone growl. "Everyone get down and behind me." I growled. "Whats going on?" Gary asked. "We can't be spotted by the people here. Things are crazy like they said. This location is special let's say." I muttered.

"But shouldn't we do something about this?" Erza asked. "Yes we are going to do something but stop talking they will hear us." I hissed.

"I know that. But I can't leave the city that my daughter and husband fought to protect." they growled. "But things have gotten real bad. At this rate you will die too." the first growled.

"I don't care. My life is here. I won't leave it behind." they growled. Before the conversation continued an alarm sounded. "Shit they're here! I'm going to get everyone to safety. You better go and hide." the voice exclaimed before leaving. "I'm not going to sit back and let my home get destroyed." the second growled before leaving as well.

"This has gotten worse than we thought." Leaf hissed. "They have a safe house we can hide you guys there." I told them. "No way we want to help protect this town." Natsu growled. "They've lost so much we need to help." Wendy told me.

"Leaf I don't think I'll be able to change their mind. Can you do something? I'm going to protect this town. Come on Aria." I huffed as I walked past two graves that had flowers on them. I shook my head before continuing forward.

...

I was hiding in a building currently in my dragon dimensional armour form holding on to the bleeding blade. Aria was beside me in her battle form as we waited. I watched as the sky turned a dark purple as dime-invaders began to come through the portal.

I was quiet as the dime's came down to the streets. I was racing past quickly killing the odd dime-invader as I followed them to where they were heading. I saw a lady demon fighting off the dime-invaders the best that she could.

I could clearly see that she was outmatched but she was doing very well. "What shall we do?" Aria asked. "Attack. Take out the dimes I think this building maybe where a safe house is so we have to protect it." I answered she nodded to… well, what looked like a nod from a giant dog.

Aria charged forward and began attacking some of the dimes. I then flew over and blocked and attack from a dime-invarder that was going to kill the lady. "You're going to get yourself killed lady if you're not careful." I told her. She looked at me in surprise but quickly changed and nodded in reply.

"I can see that you're in pretty bad shape you probably should go rest up and get yourself some medical attention." I told her. "No! I'm not going to back down to them. I'd rather die." she exclaimed. "You really wouldn't. It's better to live and fight another they die when you can. Things will be fine. I can handle it." I told her.

"But your all alone." she told me. I heard the sound of a yell. "Not really. I have some help this time. So don't worry. We'll take care of this." I told her. I eventually got her to leave which allowed things to get real.

"You couldn't change their minds could you?" I chuckled. "No, those guys are so stubborn." Leaf muttered. "Be happy I think with their help things might actually get done faster." I told him.

"You guys try and avoid as much close combat as possible. They maybe are only low-level grunts but to the normal person, they are very strong. So be careful and watch each other's back." I huffed.

The fight began and we started fighting the dime-invaders all over. I was using magic mainly fire and air with the odd use of light magic on the dime-invaders, but I was all slashing them down left and right.

Whenever I had one of them coming from behind it was either Aria or Erza that took them down before they could hit me. I made sure to keep them safe from the dimes as they helped me.

"Natsu and Happy. I'm going to close the portal. Cover me as I get up there. The rest of you keep them distracted." I told them. "Alright." they agreed. "When I close the portal all we have to do is get rid of the remaining stragglers." I told them.

I began to fly up towards the portal. I had Natsu keeping whatever dimes that came for me away. I actually got there close enough and began the spell to close the portal. Then a dime came right for me but Natsu flew with Happy right over and punched him away and allowed me to finish the spell.

The portal closed and that stopped any more dime-invaders coming through. "Natsu. Look out!" I exclaimed as I pushed him out of the way putting up a shield I got nicked on my arm in a quick counter I slashed them down.

The two of us got to the ground. "Everyone come to me I have a trick that might just work." I told them. We got into a circle as they surrounded us I then put up a shield around us. "Leaf, Aria use some of the spells to increase our power." I huffed. "Got it." They replied.

"To get out of this we all have to attack at once. But stay in this circle. Leaf is preparing a spell to help us." I told them. Leaf and Aira increased our power with and enhancement spell. "Alright now!" I yelled. Using all we had we attacked as many as well could.

We used attacked to give Leaf enough time to prepare the spell. "Alright now!" he told me. I put up a strong shield around all allies as it was cast. After that, there were no dime-invaders left.

"Alright, let's go." I told them. We then got away from there. "What are we here to do Leaf?" I asked. "It's a simple drop off, to gain some more information. This will the next mission." Leaf answered. "Alright take us to the drop sight." I sighed.

We walked off and went to a park. This was the drop site apparently. Leaf put something down on the bench then we hid off to the side of a few minutes before going back over to see a drive now on the bench. Leaf picked it up then gave me the signal.

"See easy. Now let's go." Aria sighed as I opened the portal. "Let's go." Leaf sighed as we entered the portal.

"Thanks for your help. You really helped out when we fought against the dime-invaders back there." I sighed looking at the guild hall. "Actually let's take a few pictures." I huffed pulling out my camera. We got a lot of picture's groups together. The last picture was that of all of us. I thought that the pictures looked really nice.

This is definitely something I'm going to keep. These pictures are really good. These are a great keepsake for the time I've had here. I muttered as I put the camera away.

Zara: Your not even in this book Roxanne! So stop confusing the readers by coming here!
Roxanne: Well it's just as much my house as it is yours!

Arcin: It's not either of your houses! It's my parents!

Zara: Yeah so get out!

Arcin: Ugh!

Roxanne: Look your annoying Arcin!

Zara: No you are!

Arcin: You two are acting like children! Which neither of you are! So shut up! Zara! Though I'm deciding to finish this book that doesn't mean you can be rude! I'm writing a book for you just like Roxanne so stop pouting if anything the guys from Fairy Tail should be more upset than you! And you Roxanne! I get you want your book to do well in the contest so do I but this fanfic does have nothing to do with you so please refrain from popping in at random.

Zara & Roxanne: Yes Arcin.

Arcin: Sigh... good.

Natsu: Hey what's wrong?

Arcin: These two were acting like children. I have enough to deal with already this just put me behind on my plans.

Natsu: So I've heard that your planning on ending the book is that true?

Arcin: ... um. I-i'm just going to go.

Natsu: Hey answer my question!
