Thank you all who reviewed the last chapter.

Fairy Tail's Twin Gauntlets

"So, Evergreen you and Elfman getting cozy?" Bickslow teased. He stuck out his tongue toward her.

Evergreen glared over at the perverted man. "Don't be ridiculous. That brunt annoys me." The woman waved her fan in front of her clearly flustered.

Laxus walked in front his so called personal guards with his arms folded across his chest. "Both of you knock it off." The group was almost at their client's house and the last thing he wanted to look like he and his team were some unprofessional immature brats like Team Natsu.

Even though the lightning wizard had changed he still cared about his own personal reputation. He kept his mind focused on the mission it shouldn't take them more than a day at best to take care of the problem this town was having. His peaceful mind was however quickly interrupted when he heard screaming.

He and the Thunder Legion looked ahead to see several people running their way in a panic. They brushed and slammed into the members or managed to go around. Each person ran for their lives, shouting those very words.

One person nearly knocked off Evergreen's glasses. She looked back at the frightened people as she adjusted her glasses. "How rude?"

"What could everyone be running from?" Freed questioned aloud.

Evergreen turned back around. "I don't know, but it better be worth all this panic." She folded her arms under her breasts, pushing them up. She was a fairy damn it and she shouldn't be almost run over like she was the road itself.

The panic crowd was finally out of the group's way for them to see what was up a head. Flames danced off of buildings while houses and businesses alike appeared to have been attacked. Creepy looking doll like puppets that had the appearance of black stuff dolls half the size of a regular man with a tin tip at the top of their head came walking at them.

They cover the street in front of them like a small army and each of the four Fairy Tail wizards prepared themselves to fight. "What are those things?" Evergreen questioned, preparing her fan.

"Nothing we can't handle?" Bickslow stated.

"Hmm?" Freed shifted his eyes to the right where there was an alleyway beside him. "You guys." Everyone looked in the same direction to see more of the creepy dolls coming out of the alleyway. They looked to the other side to see that the same thing was happening on their left.

The group finally looked back to see more coming from and all the people had long disappeared. "We're surrounded," Freed stated. "Do you think they were waiting just for us?"

"But this isn't the job we sign up for," Evergreen stated.

Freed focused on Laxus their fearless leader. "Laxus, what do we do?"
Sparks flew off the blonde's body. "We take these things down then figure out who's controlling them and see what they want."

"Right." Freed nodded in agreement.

"There's no way they can take down the Thunder Legion," Bickslow stated. His babies chanted 'Thunder Legion' three times. Each of the four wizards took a different direction to face a portion of the dolls that dared to challenge them.

Freed swung his rapier sword at the first dolls that came at him.

Bickslow stretched his hands out to the side. "Let's go, babies." His dolls shot energy blast at the first row of dolls his way.

"Fairy Ray!" Evergreen shot a ray of compress Fairy dust across the row of dolls in front of her.

Laxus charged up one of his fist with lightning and thrust it forward. He shot a blast of lighting that blew up street in front of him.

Black smoke rose and slowly faded.

To all of their surprise none of their attacks did a thing to the dolls and they continued toward them with this time them attacking. Their arms extended out, slamming into Freed. Energy blast formed in the mouths of the dolls that blasted Bickslow back.

A doll slammed right into Evergreen's chest and even Laxus was hit back by the dolls he attacked. All four of them were back to back with each other as the puppets continued to come forward.

"I don't understand how none our attacks had any effective," Freed said.

"Maybe we just need to hit them harder," Bickslow suggested. 'Hit them harder' his babies repeated.

Laxus got down on one knee and placed his hand on the ground. He used his lightning explosion to attack the dolls from below, lifting them into the air. The dolls break out the spell and began attacking the team once again.

Each of the four wizards fight hard against the dolls, doing everything in their power to stop the dolls they were the ones who were bash and beaten. No one, not even Laxus could take down a single doll.

Laxus used his lightning body to try strike what he could down when four dolls managed to surround him in mid-air. All four opened their mouths with a purple magic circle appearing in front of them.

Laxus' lightning suddenly disappeared along with all of his magic power. He felt his body stiffen up as he started come crashing down to the ground while the four dolls followed him down in the same position they used to bind him.

The dragon slayer clenched his teeth. What are they doing to me? He questioned to himself.

Evergreen and Bickslow were blasted back onto the ground.

Freed looked over at the falling Laxus. He yelled out his name no longer paying attention to the enemy in front of him. The green hair man was stuck in the back by an arm, knocking him down like the rest of his team.

Laxus closed one of his eyes, preparing himself for the upcoming impact with the ground. He just couldn't understand how he and his team were failing to a bunch of dolls. What was going on around this town?

A white flash of light consumed the area. Something new was going on, but this time it was in Laxus' favor. Sparks of lightning came off his body and he could feel his body and magic working again. He turned into lightning and landed on the ground on one hand and knee.

When the light faded and several of the puppets had been destroyed, but there were still plenty left to crush. Laxus quickly noticed a new scent and looked back at the building behind him. On the edge of the roof was a person in a cloak. The person's face was hidden behind the shadows of its hood.

Laxus couldn't tell if this was good or bad news for him and his team. He stood up and faced the mysterious person. He looked at whoever it was seriously. "Who are you?"

Instead of answering the person simply pointed to the enemy puppets. "Those things only have one weakness. You have to hit them on the very top of their heads otherwise you're just powering them up." The person was without a doubt male.

Laxus looked at the man strangely. "That didn't answer my questioned."

"We can talk later," the male responded. "Unless you rather these puppets rip you and your team to pieces."

Laxus looked back at the puppets that were coming from all sides who try to wipe him and his team out. He became focused on the battle once again. "Fine." Lighting wrapped around his body. "Get your lazy asses up and strike them on their heads. Don't you dare mess this up. We're Fairy Tail wizards, damn it."

Being saved by some stranger certainly didn't sit well with the S Class wizard, but if the person was telling the truth they could finally win this. He charged forward at the puppets.

The Thunder Legion brought themselves back up on their feet. Each filled with new resolve to win this battle against this puppet army. They each went at the puppets, aiming for the very tops of their heads.

Evergreen used her Fairy Bullets with several hitting their mark, however some didn't thus those puppets came at her with the added strength she gave them. She used her Fairy Wings to fly around them and try again.

Bickslow had his puppets swoop up above to directly aim down on the puppets in his way while Freed flew over himself and slashed over the heads with his rapier.

Laxus used a combination of shooting lightning from the sky and his fist to take down several of the puppets.

The mysterious person watched the sight. I guess I should get into this too, he thought. But if I use my standard magic they might notice the similarities to my old man. He balled up his fists. They glowed in a white light. Good thing I learned more than one type of magic.

He launched himself off the roof just as the puppets movements became more complicated and they did what they could to avoid being directly hit on top of the head that forced the Thunder Legion and Laxus to quickly react.

The puppets' arms turned into blades as they spun around like spinning tops. The five wizards were forced to counter while still fighting trying to lower the number of the overall army. The hooded man enveloped his feet in light as he flipped and slammed his heel on top of another puppet's head, destroying it.

Laxus' team had exhausted a lot of their magic from their earlier failed attempts and their now semi successful attacks. Laxus even began to sweat and there were still a good number of them surrounding the five wizards.

The puppets stepped forward once again.

Flames flew up in the sky with a powerful screeched that caught all of their attention. Further near the edge of the city a large amount of flames came up over the rooftops before quickly dying down. Afterwards the remaining puppets crashed down, going limp surprising Laxus and his guard.

"Uh, what just happened?" Bickslow questioned.

Dark purple magic circles appeared under the puppets that weren't destroyed and sinked into them.

"Hmm, nice work sis." Laxus and the others looked at the hooded man that had just spoken who happened to now in between Laxus and his team. The hooded wizard took down his hood to reveal that he was the disguise Blot.

Laxus turned fully around to face the young man. "So who are you?"

Blot looked over to where the flames came from. "I'll explain everything once we meet up with my sister. She's better at this explaining stuff than me." The young black haired wizard headed down the alley on the right side without another word.

Laxus was curious to know what this was all about, but he didn't like the kid who 'saved' them wasn't providing any. He followed without even bothering to tell his team to tag along they knew to do it instinctively.

Sometime later, the group arrived at the second battle sight. Cobble stones littered the ground along with broken bracelets. The damage wasn't too bad, especially compared to what Fairy Tail was known for. A second hooded person stood in the middle of it. The group arrived on the person's right.

Blot lifted his hand to wave. "Yo, sis."

The other hooded person looked in the group's direction. Layla removed her hood so the group could properly see her face. Laxus and the others could swear the two could be Gajeel's family if they only had a few more piercings; however the girl just had a set of heart shape earrings that didn't seem to match her tough looking demeanor.

"So you took care of that loser," Blot stated. He folded his arms across his chest, much like his father. A habit he never really lean to break since he first became a teenager.

Layla sighed. "Unfortunately he got away."

"What!?" He brought his fists down to his side. "How you let that happened?"

"He had a group of C classes with him so they covered his escape," Layla explained.

Blot looked greatly annoyed at this. "Which means we haven't even made a dent in their real forces. What was the point of coming here then?"

"To make sure the Thunder Legion and Da-Laxus were safe," Layla reminded her brother. She knew how he felt. She should have been able to easily send back a B rank wizard, but he was forgetting they needed to secure the safety of their fellow wizards.

Blot nodded. "Yeah, yeah." He really needed to keep those things in perspective; he hated when he became absent minded. It reminded him of Natsu junior and that was one of last people he wanted to be like.

Laxus and the others were getting really annoyed at this point. They didn't understand what the hell was going on and it was ticking them off. "Hey, you two mind explaining what the hell you're talking about?" Laxus stated.

The twins looked over at their younger age father. They then gave each other a look. Both of them took off the gauntlet they were wearing and showed the group the back of their hands. They both had the Fairy Tail mark there; Layla's was purple while Blot's was blue.

All four of them looked astonish. "You're in Fairy Tail?" Freed questioned.

"That impossible I've never seen you before," Evergreen stated. She knew they use to be loners in Fairy Tail so they didn't know everyone, but ever since the Battle of Fairy Tail they been really good with keeping up with Fairy Tail and its members. They had never seen either of these two before.

The twins putted their hands down. "I'll assume you're familiar with time travel like the Eclipse Gate."

"You're from the future?" Freed questioned. "But the Eclipse Gate was destroyed by Natsu."

"That's true," Layla responded. She putted her gauntlet back on her hand before continuing. "However in our time we have another way of time travel." She lifted her left wrist to show the green bracelet. "This device has allowed us to come back in time to stop those who have come back to alter this time."

"No matter how backwards like it may be," Blot slipped in.

"Are you saying those puppets we were fighting are a part of that?" Bickslow said. His babies repeated his last words three times.

Layla nodded. She spread her arms back. "I think it would be better to explain things at the guild. This will affect all of them and not just you. I'd prefer to answer any questions people have once instead over and over again."

Laxus nodded in understanding. "Fine."

Evergreen looked over at their leader. "But, Laxus what about our mission? Do we just scrap it?"

The Dreyar twins looked at each other. "Didn't we take care of their mission for them before we got here?" Blot asked his sister.

Layla pulled a Wyvern scale out of her cloak and threw it down at Laxus' feet. "You can turn this in and collect the reward you were going to get."

Laxus looked down at the scale. Their mission was to take care of a Wyvern attack that was plaguing the city. How could these two so simply defeat a Wyvern and help them against that puppet army. Neither of them looked like they had a scratch on them. Was their more to them then just being Fairy Tail wizards?

Laxus looked back at the twins that resembled his fellow Fairy Tail wizard. "We can't take it. We didn't complete the mission."

"But you would have if not for the interference of the future," Layla told him. "Our mission here is to keep as much of history the same."

Laxus looked down at the scale once again.

"So what do you think, Master?" Erza asked. She had just finished explaining what her team had experience during their last job to the entire guild. Natsu and the others stood behind the Fairy Queen while Master Makarov sat on top of the bar.

The old man had his arms folded across his chest. "Hmm, this does sound troubling. We defiantly need more information before we act."

"What's going on?"

Everyone looked over at the doors to see Gajeel and team Shadow Gear. The group came over to the rest of the guild to see what had gotten everyone's interest. "We were just informing the Master about our strange encounter during our last mission," Erza explained.

"We had a strange encounter during our last mission too," Levy said. She moved her hand to the side.

"What happened, my child?" Master Makarov asked.

Levy and Gajeel quickly explained to everyone about shaking in the city they took their last assignment in. How they met a mysterious person who had similar looks to Gajeel and how Gajeel could smell that other people were there just seconds before they arrived, but they only saw one man who disappeared in a wave of light.

Gajeel held out a broken bracelet that he had found at the sight. "This was the only sign of other people being there."

Lucy looked over at Erza. "Do you think that they were like the guys we fought?"

"It's possible."

"The people you fought?" Gajeel questioned. Erza then once again explained they had with a group of wizards so that they were aware of circumstances.

"So do you think this mysterious person was fighting similar guys like you?" Levy asked.

"Maybe," Erza stated. There was no way she could be sure.

"You guys talking about me?" The guild members once again focused their attention on the doors to see Laxus and his team. On either side of the group was one of the Dreyar twins who all stood in front of the double doors.

"Laxus," the master said.

Gajeel looked over at the black haired teen boy. "Wait, you're-"

"The one we saw that night," Lily finished.

"Yo," Blot said simply. His eyes fell on Levy who was staring at the group intensely. He smirked and got a certain look in his eyes that made the solid script wizard become insecure like he was undressing her with his eyes. She slightly blushed.

Layla glared over at her brother. She hated when he acted like that.

Blot's eyes quickly wonder to the other beautiful women of the Fairy Tail guild, the ones he knew, but were now so much younger than the ones he saw on a day to day basis. He spotted Erza and Mira of course, Lisanna, Bisca, and Wendy even though he imaged her older.

Both twins' eyes fell on the one woman they had to thank for their very existence. Both kept up a poker face when they saw Lucy, staring at them. It was amazing that genetics could make two people look so much alike even if they were mother and daughter.

Laxus moved toward the rest of the guild with the other five wizards following his lead. "Laxus, who are these people you brought with you?" his grandfather questioned.

Laxus shifted his eyes toward each of the two people that had temporary joined up with his team. "Show him."

Both twins followed their future father's orders. They took off their gloves and once again showed their Fairy Tail marks that shocked everyone. They then slipped their gauntlets back on.

Freed gestured to the pair. "It seems they are time travelers and know what's really going on."

Makarov nodded, now understanding why he had never seen these so called children of Fairy Tail before. "Then please enlighten us."

Blot and Layla stepped forward in front of their father. They looked intently at their fellow guild mates. "The people you've been fighting are from a Dark Guild in our time called Crime Spree. They are the strongest guild that has ever existed in Fiore."

Everyone looked at them in utter shock. "What!? But what about Oracion Seis or Grimoire Heart?" Gray stated as he clenched his teeth, remembering how tough both guilds were.

"The problem with this guild is both its numbers and its powers," Blot said. "They have thousands of members and not a single guild hall, but several bases throughout the kingdom."

"How can that be possible?" Erza questioned. "Only ten percent of the population are wizards and many belong to ligament guilds."

"We believe they've gather wizards from across the globe to add to their ranks all for the conquest of taking over Fiore," Layla told them. "We don't know what they plan to do after that since in our time we've been able to place them in a stalemate."

"A stalemate?" Natsu questioned.

"That's right, an alliance was form to hold off the advance of Crime Spree," Layla explained. "Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale have been working to stop them from getting any further. Still even combine we aren't able to take them down either."

"They're fighting against four of the most powerful guilds and we're only in a stalemate," Evergreen shouted.

"Why isn't Mermaid Heel and Quatro Cerberus in our alliance?" Erza questioned. She was sure with Kagura and Millianna's help they could surely turn the tides on this guild that wanted to take over their kingdom.

Layla looked down, knowing they would hate what she was about to say next. There was true pity for the red head woman. "The guilds of Mermaid Heel and Quatro Cerberus were wiped out as well as Twilight Orge by Crime Spree."

Erza's eyes opened wide in shock.

"That's why the alliance was formed so no other guild would fall to the same fate," Layla told them, still looking down. She didn't want to see Erza's reaction to the lost of her friends.

Erza had lowered her head so the shadows of her hair covered her eyes. Her body trembled in anger and sadness.

"We believe they came back to this time because you aren't as strong as you are in our time," Layla continued on. "That and with the alliance not formed it's the perfect chance for them to strike. That's why we were sent back."

Natsu folded his arms across his chest. "But why only the two of you if they sent back their entire guild?"

Layla lifted her head. "They used a man name Onyx to allow them to slip back in time with a machine to enhance his powers. He was so weak he could only afford to send two people back. No one in the alliance knows Crime Spree better than my brother and I.

"We've gather more information on the guild than anyone else. We are known as Fairy Tail's twin gauntlets as well as two of Fairy Tail's strongest wizards in our time. So the master allowed us to come back and complete this mission. We figured it would be best to inform you of the guild because of its sheer numbers and we can't be everywhere at once."

"If they're as powerful as you say they are then how can you plan to beat them all?" Gray wondered aloud.

Layla lifted up her left arm to show off her bracelet. "Like some of you might have seen. They disappeared when a bracelet like this is destroyed that's because it's the only thing linking them and us to this time. If it's destroyed or remove then we are force back to our time period."

"So all we have to do is break those things and then they're all go away," Happy said happily.

"But then what will happen after that?" Lucy questioned.

"We're handle things in our time," Blot answered.

"No way!" Natsu threw his fists out. "They came back to face us so we're going to fight them!"

"We don't have time for your stupidity," Blot said. "Even if by some miracle you could beat them what are you going to do with them? Keep them trap here in your time. You want to do something meaningful stop Crime Spree before they get as big as they do in our time, you idiot."

Blot then looked over at his great grandfather. "Master, can you inform the other guilds about the situation so they can protect themselves."

Makarov nodded. He then jumped down onto the floor and walked up to the black haired twins. He looked up to them. "But are there any wizards that we should be actually worried about on their own."

The twins looked at each other again and then at the sixth master of Fairy Tail. "Yes, we know a few that are to be watched out for," Layla said. "First, you should know the Crime Spree's rank system. They have five levels of wizards.

"The first is D ranks who are normal level wizards, then C rank that are just above average, B ranks are the ones that one should be watched out for such a Pipe, the puppeteer. I fought against him before we got here, but he managed to get away.

"In our time he almost wiped out the Strauss siblings and the Thunder Legion," Layla informed them. Everyone looked in shock that was expected the Thunder Legion and Laxus who had to deal with those crazy puppets. They would have been taken down if it weren't for Blot informing them about their one big weakness.

"However though B Class wizards are strong each of them are known to have a glaring weakness in their magic if you know it you stand chance," Layla started up again. She looked back at her father and his team. "Laxus and his team already know about that man's weakness now so they can fill you in about that later. We know there are twelve B Class wizards in total."

She returned her attention back to her great grandfather. "A class wizards come to an amount of ten. From what we've seen they're all egotistic so they love to brag about what they've done, but they are all also very powerful.

"Such as Rage the Teleporter. He's face off with Gajeel and each time they've every fought it's only ended up in a tie, but he's also taken down several powerful wizards. Then there is Lizbeth the Dark Pool many describe her as a sexy looking librarian. She wiped out an entire town by herself."

Bickslow pointed over to Evergreen. "Like Ever over her."

"Shut up!" She glared at the helmet wearing man.

"And then there is of course Myra the Demon Temptress," Blot basically growled out each word. He remembered his own dark history with the woman and vowed to pay her back for what she did. "She's considered the most dangerous of the A class especially to men. She can read any guy she comes across, know their weakness and even secrets you've thought you only ever kept yourself."

Layla closed her eyes. "But that doesn't mean she's any less dangerous to women either. Even though she can't read a female like she can read a man she was the one who killed Kagura of Mermaid Heel and has been feared through the country ever since."

Shock once again rose up inside of Erza. The person who killed her friend, Simon's sister. The red haired woman stepped forward. "What does this woman look like?"

Layla opened her eyes. She looked straight at Erza she could easily figure out why she wanted to know that information. "It won't change anything, Erza. If you want to stop them then you have to stop Crime Spree before they ever get this powerful."

Erza tightened her fists so hard they were shacking.

Layla knew now wasn't to the time to let her more comforting nature come out. This situation was serious and they all needed to know what they were up against. "There are ten A Class wizards and then there are they're S Class that total number is six."

"You serious?" Elfman questioned.

"Someone who took down Kagura is only an A class," Mirajane said worry. Kagura was almost as strong as Erza so the prospect of an entirely higher class was truly frightening.

"We only know one of the S Class by name and that's Ulysses," Layla stated. "We don't know his magic only that he single handedly destroyed Quatro Cerberus." An unsettling air fell on the guild. Could such a force, such a guild actually be possible?

The Reviews that I got before inspired me to write faster.
