Chapter 6: Edolas

Leaf P.O.V

"My head hurts." I said rubbing my head.

I looked around only to see bubbles? and white mountains.

"What is this place?" I asked. "Wasn't I at Fairy Tail? Zak?"

I decided to look around until I spotted four figures.

"Natsu, Wendy, Carla, Happy!" I said flying to them.

"Leaf you're here too!" Wendy said.

"Guys what's going?" I asked.

"As I was saying before he interrupted me the reason why I'm so inform about Edolas is because I'm from there." Carla said.

The three of us gave her a surprised look.

"Edolas?" I asked confused.

"As is the one called Happy and Leaf." Carla said.

"Us?" I asked surprised. "What are you talking about?"

"No you can't be serious." Wendy said.

'I'm sorry child but it's true. The three of us are to blame for this." Carla said. "In an attempt to restore the rapidly depleting magic reserves the king of Edolas had developed a spell that would absorb it from another world. Our world. It's a very powerful spell indeed. He called it anima. That's what open the hole in the sky."

"So that's it." Wendy said.

"Six years ago they begin setting up anima all around the barrier of our worlds but the experiment did not go as they plan. It seems somebody made it their goal to close them one by one." Carla said.

We all stood there in silence taking it all in as Carla stop for a moment before continuing.

"But this anima was simply too large no one was strong enough to close it. Thus the guild and everything surrounding it was absorb."

"Zak." I said worriedly

"Why would they go after Fairy Tail like that?" Natsu asked.

"I told you to provide more magic power to those in Edolas." Carla said.

"So they choose Fairy Tail because they had a bunch of top class wizards because there were more power to take." Wendy said.

"That's correct." Carla said.

"I can't believe it that's a serious selfish move." Natsu said.

"It's like Zak says." I said to myself.

'Sometimes no all the time Humans only care about themselves.' Zak voice ring though my mind.

"You better give us back all our friends back right now!" Natsu yelled shaking the fist to the sky.

"You mean it Carla." Happy said. "This happen because of me, Leaf, and you? It's our fault?"

"Yeah are you telling the truth? Did we really do this?" I asked.

"Indirectly? Yes." Carla said.

"What do you mean indirectly?" Happy asked.

"Yeah that ain't making sense." I said agreeing with Happy.

"The king entrusted us to complete another mission entirely. Something that was totally independent from the one involving anima and magic absorption." Carla said.

"But that doesn't make sense." Wendy said. "How can that be true when you were born in this world and hatched out of a egg."

"Yeah I clearly remember being born in this world hatched by Zak." I said.

"And Happy was too and it was me who found him." Natsu said.

"Indeed we were. To be perfectly honest I myself have never personally set foot in Edolas. I was born in this world and spend my entire life here. It's as exactly as Wendy said but we were imprinted by this knowledge. The details of our mission and of Edolas is what makes part of our very being. " Carla said. "The three of us were born to carry this very mission. For our kingdom so why?"

"Why what?" I asked.

"Why don't the both of you know the first thing about it!" Carla yelled pointing towards the both of us.

"I don't know." Happy said.

"Same here I don't remember no mission or Edolas. All I remember was growing up with Zak and the others." I said.

"I thought you'll be better then the tomcat and knew about it but I was wrong." Carla said to me before turned away from us.

"This is what I meant indirectly." Carla said. "The anima that did this originated from our homeland. So that's why we're partly to blame."

"Then what is the mission you're on Carla?" Wendy asked.

"I can't tell you. I'm sorry."

"Please tell us. I want to know why I'm here" Happy said.

"Yes please. I want to know about this mission and where we come from." I said.

"I said I can't tell you and that's final." Carla said. "You know it but you two just don't remember."

Both me and Happy looked down as Carla denied us answers. I'm starting to understand how Zak feels. To want to know something but either getting nothing, dead ends, or denied. However Natsu started to speak.

"Okay guys. Listen. Now that the cats been out of the bag we should head out. We got to get to Edolas." Natsu said.

"Have you lost your mind!" Carla yelled. "Do you have any idea what's going on here?"

"Do you mean it?" Happy asked before his stomach growled which caused us to laugh. "I'm scared and being scared always makes me hungry."

"It's good to have a healthy appetite." Natsu said smiling. "If all our friends are up in Edolas then we got no choice but to go and help them out."

" Are they really there?" Wendy asked.

"And is Zak there?" I asked.

"I would assume so but for Zak my guess is that he's around here." Carla said.

"He's here?" I asked turning to her.

"Zak is a dragon slayer so he didn't got sucked up by anima meaning that means he's probability around here."

"Then I got to find him." I said getting my wings up.

"Hold on."

I turned to Carla yet again.

"What? Can't you see I need to find my friend." I said.

"I don't think you should find him."

"What?! Why?!" I asked angry.

"You might put him in danger."

"I will never do that to him!" I said.

"Leaf calm down." Wendy said. "Just hear what she has to say."

"No!" I yelled which shocked all of them. "Zak has been with me for my entire life and every single time I can remember he always put me before himself and now that he's stuck here you want me to give up and leave him because I might put him in danger? Danger of what? Tell me!"

"..."

"That's what I thought." I said starting to fly. "Take care you guys because now I need to find Zak."

Third Person P.O.V

"Leaf wait!" Wendy yelled to Leaf who flew away

"Forget him." Carla said. "If he wants to endanger Zak life it's his own fault."

"Carla how could you say that?" Happy asked.

"I'm sorry but I only speak the truth." Carla said. "Like I told you Happy, Leaf can't always protect Zak especially now."

"Leaf..." Happy said.

Leaf P.O.V

I started to fly faster as I called out to Zak.

"Zak! Zak!" I yelled looking around. "Where are you!"

After what Carla said it really got me mad but is it true what she said. Will I put Zak in danger? Flying around I started to remember about back about one of the time he's been there for me.

"Zak I'm hungry." I said rubbing my stomach.

"Yeah same here but don't worry Leaf. Just give me a minute." Zak said patting my head.

Zak proceed to put on a black cloak around him so people can barely see him.

"Wait here." Zak said before leaving the forest

After a few minutes of waiting I seen Zak walking up to me before tossing me a fish.

"Here eat up." Zak said before sitting down.

"Thanks." I said but before I took a bite I notice he didn't had anything. "What about you Zak? Aren't you going to eat?"

"I only had enough jewels to get you a fish." Zak said.

"But aren't you going to be okay?" I asked.

"I'm fine as long as you got something to eat so don't worry about me besides I can survive a day without food." Zak said.

"Thanks Zak." I said before hugging him.

"Hey you're the only family I have left and I won't let anything happen to you so just relax and eat." Zak said returning the hug.

No Carla wrong Zak's always been with me. I don't care if it's my fault or if I put him in danger I'll protect him like how he always protect me. I snap out of my thoughts as I seen a figure up ahead.

"Zak!" I cried going faster.

Zak P.O.V

"Okay where am I?" I asked after digging out of the ground.

All I remember was trying to eat some lightning but there was a hole in the sky before things levitated and there was light surrounding me and everywhere else and now here I am. I looked around and so far it's one of the weirdest places I have ever been too(don't ask)

"I know I wanted peace and quiet from humans but this place is boring. Might come here for a day though." I said looking around. "Now that I think about it where is everybody else?"

I was about to begin to look around when...

"Zak!"

I turned around to see Leaf flying towards me.

"Leaf." I said. "It's nice to see you but what's going on."

"I can't really explain but Carla said something about anima and everybody is taken in by that hole in the sky expect for dragon slayers and because of the anima it leads to a place called Edolas and she said I was born from there." Leaf said.

"So what you're trying to say is that this anima took the people at the guild and lead them to Edolas which Carla says you were born from there even though I was the one that hatched and raised you and we're plus the dragon slayer are the only ones who can saved them." I said trying to process this information I received from Leaf.

"Yeah." Leaf said

"Just great." I said.

"So what are we going to do?" Leaf asked.

"I don't know Leaf not unless you know a way to get there." I said.

"I kinda left them before she can explain more." Leaf said.

"Then there's nothing that we can do." I said.

"There's got to be a way." Leaf said.

"Oh there is."

We turned around to see a strange man in a cloak walking towards us but I notice who he is.

"Jellal what are you doing here and what do you want?" I spatted with electricity coursing though my veins.

"I don't have time to explain but I'm not this Jellal you speak of."

"Who are you then?" I asked.

"My name's Mystogan and I know a way to save your friends." Mystogan said.

"Friends is a strong word." I said crossing my arms.

"What is it?" Leaf asked.

"As you have already know your comrades were taken by the king and are trap in lacrima and the only way to free them is though dragon slaying magic."

"Zak you're a dragon slayer that means you can save them." Leaf said.

"I guess but I don't know." I said.

"What do you mean I don't know?" Leaf asked.

"I'm still not used to them." I said.

"What?! Please Zak you have to save them."Leaf said. "And if you don't I'll say that name you don't like."

"You wouldn't dare." I said narrowing my eyes.

"Zac-"

"Alright fine you win but I'm only doing this because you want me." I said giving up turning to face Mystogan. "So what do I need to do?"

"First eat this both of you." Mystogan said passing me and Leaf a red pill or something. "At Edolas you can't use your magic but with this you can."

"Alright." I said as me and Leaf ate it.

"And here are some more if you manage to free the others." Mystogan said passing me a small jar of it. "Now I'm going to send you towards Edolas and once your there you're on your own. I'm going to try to see if I can find other survivors."

"That's how I do things anyways." I said placing the jar in my bag.

"Alright now hold still." Mystogan said holding his staff in front of us with light now started to surround us.

The next thing I now we were being teleported into Edolas.

Edo-Jade P.O.V.

"Hey what the heck are you doing?"

My and everybody else attention was turn towards Lucy who was kneeling down in front of a table in front of a couple of people.

"What's the big idea with you sneaking around our guild like this?"

"Lucy!"

"Seriously!?"

'What the hell is wrong with them?" I thought.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" I asked walking up to them.

"Um I don't know why are you all acting so freaky?" The person asked backing away.

"Natsu?" Lucy asked before hugging him. "Why didn't you say it was you, you bonehead?"

"Wait that's Natsu?"

"That's quite a fashion statement bro."

"I guess it was a false alarm." I said.

"Natsu where have you been? I was thinking the worst happen. Don't ever make me worry again." Lucy said still hugging Natsu.

"Umm I'm sorry?" Natsu said before Lucy put him into one of her torture techniques.

"Here we go again." I said tired of this scene as always.

"No but you're going to be!" Lucy said.

"All right break it up you're starting to get me angry and trust me you wouldn't like that." I said trying to stop them.

"Jade is that really you?" one of them I don't recognize asked.

"What does that mean?" I asked in a angry tone.

"N-N-Nothing." He said.

"Wait a minute cats?" one of the guild members asked.

We all got a good look at them but that's when the whole guild was thrown into chaos.

"What the hell Exceeds?" I asked getting more angry.

"No way." Gray said.

"Shouldn't we do something?" Juvia asked.

"I got this I always wanted to fight a exceed." I said walking up to them but was stopped by Mira who was the one who walked up to them.

"You sure do look a lot like them." Mira said. "Now I'm understand why everybody's so on edge."

I don't trust them one bit." Gray said.

"Agree we should kick them out." I said.

"You know big sis is right." Elfman said. "Don't worry the little guys just look like exceeds."

"I got a bad feeling."

"That makes the two of us."

"Try anything funny and I'll end you on that spot." I said to them before walking away.

I proceed to concentrate on what I was doing before things went out of hand...again.

"That goes double for you blonde shut your trap!" Levy yelled.

'Can't I get peace for at least two seconds?' I thought getting angry again.

"What was that!" Lucy yelled.

"It's hard enough to finish this job without you acting like a crazed gorilla you brawny beast."

"That's funny coming from a scrawny little grease monkey who can't fix one piece of junk." Lucy said.

"Enough both of you!" I yelled reaching my limit. "Both of you stop acting like little brats!"

"Oh yeah what are you going to do about it?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah what are you going to do about it?" Levy asked.

"I'll show you by shutting you both the hell up." I growled cracking my knuckles butting heads with the both of them.

"Now now you three don't argue we're all in this together aren't we?"

"Not only that but we count on can remember how many times she got us out of a jam."

"You have a point." I said backing away from them. "But no more arguing or else."

Third Person P.O.V

"I recognize most of the people here but I don't think I seen Erza or Zak yet." Wendy said.

"That might not be a bad thing." Natsu said.

"No kidding do you think they'll be the opposite of themselves?" Happy asked.

"The way our lucks been they will be more psycho then Lucy." Natsu said.

"I hope not." Wendy said.

"It's hard to imagine what Erza opposite will be like." Happy said. "But for Zak I imaging him being a little nice."

"I can see that since he is cold towards people." Wendy said. "But what about Erza?"

"Maybe it'll be something like this." Natsu said describing Erza as a pathetic weakling who fears and respects him. "Like that."

"There's no way Edo-Erza would be that pathetic." Happy said.

"Alright then since you're a smarty cat how do you think she'll be like?" Natsu asked.

"I don't just think friend I know." Happy said before describing her as a servant who obeys Happy every command. "Awesome."

"That's crazy and you had the nerve to make fun of my fantasy." Natsu said.

"I think I know who she be like." Wendy said describing Erza as a nice lady who bakes sweets. "Like that."

"You got to be kidding!" Natsu and Happy said.

"These fantasy of yours are waste of brain power and not to mention embarrassing." Carla said.

"Still I can't help but wonder how different Erza and Zak will be." Wendy said.

"I know it's kinda exciting." Happy said.

Edo-Jade P.O.V

"Lucy stop trying to beat up Natsu. I'm sick and tired of hearing him scream because of you." I said as I watch her grab Natsu.

"Oh come on I just want to play a game." Lucy said.

"Oh really."

"Of course this game will rock his socks off."

"Quit it. I don't have time for your freaky pain thing-" Natsu said.

"Is that so? Do you want to play tough?" Lucy asked. "I loved that game."

Edo-Lucy started to beat up Natsu before I exploded causing everybody to look at him.

"Enough! I had have it up to here of all this mayhem today all I want is a day of quiet so I can concentrate on what I'm doing. Is that so hard to ask!" I yelled.

"Jade right you should know better."

"Whatever." Lucy said.

"Lisanna you're back." I said. "Thanks for that. I swear I'm going to lose my mind because of this one day."

"It's-It's really you." I heard Natsu said.

"How many times have I told you jerks not to bully my brother while I'm not around." Lisanna said.

"Yeah we know."

"Finally some end to this havoc." I said. "Thanks again Lisanna you're really Good at causing some of these idiots to shut up."

"It's no problem but I don't like you calling them idiots all the time." Lisanna said crossing her arms at me.

"I'll stop when they stop acting like idiots." I said.

"LISANNA!" Natsu and the exceed cried jumping towards her but was stopped by Lucy.

"Not happening!" Lucy said kicking them and picking up Natsu.

"You know I'm going to allow this." I said doing a approve nod.

"You got three seconds to tell me what's going on then I'll start breaking bones you hear me." Lucy said.

"She's there Lisanna right there." Natsu said in tears pointing at her.

"And this is why I call them idiots." I said but I notice Lisanna uncomfortableness. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Lisanna said with a reassuring smile.

"Good." I said however before I can ask anything else I heard somebody yelled.

"We got big trouble the fairy hunters are here!"

"Impossible how did they track us down so quickly?"

"So that traitorous scum decided to show himself." I said walking outside but was stopped by Lucy.

"Where are you going?" Lucy asked me.

"What do you think to find that traitor and kill him." I said.

"Well you're not going too."

"Who's going to stop me?"

Arguing with Lucy I didn't notice some members went behind me and grab a hold of me.

"LET ME GO!" I yelled struggling to break free.

"No we understand how you feel but it's not worth risking your life." Cana said.

"THEN LET ME FIGHT HIM!"

"Levy get the machine prepared before we lost our hold on Jade." Lucy order.

"Already on it." Levy said on the teleportation machine.

"NO!" I yelled again.

I finally manage to break their hold on me but by the time I did it was too late and we teleported.

? P.O.V

"Filthy cowards." Erza said

"Be patience now Erza sure they escape but there's always next time." I said looking at the crater where Fairy Tail escape. "Soon we'll catch them and that will be last dark guild taken down. It's sad really. Once this is all over there will be no more fun left to do.

"Hmm teleportation magic to think they stoop to employ a spell that uses such an enormous amount of power on one shot. My oh my dark guilds sure are wasteful." Sugarboy said.

"I didn't realize you were here sugarboy." Erza said.

"This is truly concerning but it would have been a bigger problem if you didn't told us." Sugarboy said.

"I'm just surprise they actually got it up but the always manage to surprise me." I said.

"You shouldn't praise insects you squash them." Erza said.

"Yeah I know but still they always manage to avoid us at the last moment." I said.

"He's right and did you hear the giant anima plan was a success. Almost hard to believe. Anyways all captains of the magic warfare unit are to return to the royal city." Sugarboy said.

"So earthland's Fairy Tail has been destoryed?" Erza asked.

"More precisely it has been absorb."

"Who cares it's destroyed and we get magic." I said.

"And what happen to the earthland wizards who were also absorbed by the anima?" Erza asked.

"They're enjoying their stay as part as a giant lacrima." Sugarboy said.

"Now that's what I wanted to hear." I said.

"Splendid then Edolas magic supply should be fulled to capacity for quite some time." Erza said. "Now let's head out to the city."

"Yes let's go." I said jumping on to my beast and head to the capital.

Edo-Jade P.O.V

"Damnit!" I yelled falling to the ground slamming my fist to the ground. "And he was right there too."

We just escape the hunters and after landing and getting back all all I could do is get angry and he was so close too.

"Calm down Jade we'll get him one day but not today we need to survive." Lucy said.

"I guess you're right." I said getting back up. "But we need to take him out now."

"What is he talking about and who were they?" Natsu asked.

"You seriously don't remember?" I asked looking at him. "Those was two of the captain royal guards of the warfare units and one of them happen to be used to be member of Fairy Tail that is until he should us out. We barely made it because of him."

"Who is he?" Wendy asked.

Just thinking about the name made me angry and especially since they don't remember but I took a deep breath and answer them anyways.

"His name is Zachary Nexus or what other people call him The Dark Fairy."

And that's the end of Chapter 6 and boy it's my longest chapter yet. Hope you enjoy it and I'll see you in Chapter but until then don't forget to follow/favorite/review.
