S.R: Hello everyone. Just in case you guys only read this story and not everything posted on my account, I'd like to say This is no longer the only story being worked on for my account. The reason being my girlfriend has decided to write as well. However at the moment she's only working on stories for the anime Campione! (yes the exclamation point is part of the show name). As such if you guys followed me or favorited me for my Fairy Tail stuff you'll be getting more notifications than normal because she has a little more free time than I do so she works on more fanfictions than I do.
Natsu: Anything else you want to say?
S.R: I'm leaving out the Exceed, namely because I I've already started working on my fanon arcs and want to get to them sooner rather than later. In other words I'm shortening the Edolas arc… Other than that I don't think there's anything else I want to say.
Natsu: Okay. Just wanted to give you the chance to say something before dedicating yourself to making this chapter kick-ass.
S.R: Maybe it'll be kick-ass I'm having a bit of trouble deciding were to end this chapter. I've already decided next chapter is when you guys go back to Earthland but I'm trying to decide if I want your fight with Faust in this chapter or the next. Anyway I think you should leave now so that I can get to work.
Natsu: Aye, Sir!
NATSU'S POV
"Well I'm a woman of my word; you are now the guild master of our Fairy Tail. We will do whatever you say now" Edo Lucy said to me. Nodding my acceptance I asked to hold a war council with Mystogan, Erza, and whoever Edo Fairy Tail put forward as the strategist. Noticing Wendy yawn out of the corner of my eye I suggested she go take a nap and asked them to keep an eye on her for me while we were planing.
The war council ended up being Me, Mystogan, Erza, and Edo Lucy. Mystogan began the meeting with the suggestion of him nominating me as his champion to fight for him in a duel for the crown, since he was the exiled prince. Erza was all for it as we didn't want to start an all out war and risk harming innocents. I tried to tell him if his challenge was accepted I'd do it, but before I could speak Edo Lucy told us, that'd be a no go since roughly 2 hours before we arrived in Edolas the king announced that he had acquired a large amount of lacrima he was planning to destroy to release magic back into the world. She went on explaining that because of this the entire castle was on lock down and because of that even if we were to get to him to challenge him, we'd be too exhausted to actually fight and win especially if the king used his trump card the Dorma Anim.
While I knew I'd still be able to win due to a few secrets that no one but me knew, I still sided with Edo Lucy. Though that was probably because I remembered Mystogan's explanation on the Anima. Realizing that the lacrima the king was refering to was made up of Magnolia, I decided we'd free them from the lacrima and then using Mystogan's special pills we as a guild would rampage enough to stop the king. With that I began formulating a plan.
*FLASHBACK*
"We have come up with a plan. This plan is going to have several groups. Group one will stay here and keep an eye on Wendy, while waiting for a signal, from Edo Lucy. I want Wendy here because her dragon slayer magic specializes in healing, so I'm keeping her back and safe until we need her. The second group will be causing distractions all over the Royal city, moving quickly and effectively. The distractions are to draw troops away from the lacrima. The last group will be with me freeing everyone from the lacrima" I announced.
After my orders were given we split into groups just like I wanted. The lacrima attack force was going to be me, Mystogan, and Edo Lucy (so she could give the signal). The distraction team was made up of just Edolas Fairy Tail members. I left Erza in charge of the group staying with Wendy. The reason for that being they were also holding Edo Erza back and preventing her from ruining our plans.
*END FLASHBACK*
That was what went through my mind back when I explained the plan. Now, after freeing the others of Fairy Tail and using Mystogan's special magic pills on them we had done fairly well in getting to the king. The reason we went towards the king is after freeing the others I sat down and talked with gramps about a plan of action. He said now that my goal was accomplished we should help Mystogan with his. Anyway We made it to the throne room with plenty of power left, so we figured it would be safe enough for Mystogan to challenge his father. What we weren't expecting was for him to put some conditions forth before he accepted.
His conditions were 1. He chose the battle field. 2. Mystogan's champion had to have some form noble blood in them (meaning whoever he chose had to be a relative of royalty). And 3. Neither side was allowed to kill the other. I could understand him wanting as many advantages as he could get so his first condition was fine. The second condition didn't really bother me as Mystogan could chose me or even Wendy as his champion due to our dragon parents being of the King class rank among dragons. My only guess for the last condition is that if we lost he wanted us to power lacrimas for him so killing us was bad, and since he can't kill us it wouldn't be an honorable battle if we could kill him.
I thought over his conditions for a minute or two before nodding to Mystogan and telling Edo Lucy to send the signal. "Alright then father. I agree to your conditions. As it will take time for you to prepare I will take this time to choose a champion" Mystogan announced as we prepared to leave and meet up with the group that was guarding Wendy. Once we did Wendy gave us all a once over with her healing magic before sitting down in my lap as I was talking with Erza. As she most people went quiet. Looking at Erza I winked before saying "You know, for Edo Fairy Tail they shouldn't be surprised, I mean we told them about this when we met them. As for our Fairy Tail, didn't Gray and Gajeel tell you guys we'd be coming back with another person after doing some paperwork?" Gray and Gajeel both nodded at me as if confirming they told the others, so I just turned my head to watch the others realize what kind of paperwork we did. One by one I saw their eyes widen in realization. "Well…. This calls for a party when we get back" Makarov shouted, while smiling in approval.
S.R: So yeah... I'ma end it there namely because it just seems fitting to end it right there and then get into the real fight next chapter. Ah who am I kidding I'm just drawing a block on the fight with Faust and Dorma Anim. I don't want to make it seem ridiculously easy but I also don't want to go over the top and show off the whole bag of tricks I have planned for Natsu just yet so I don't want to make it too hard either. Anyway I've got a bit more free time here for the next few months so you should be getting a few more chapters from me before May. But please don't hold me to that.
