Shadow meets the Legion Platoon and Goodbye
Shadow is seen running superfast through a grassy field and going up a mountain until he stopped himself and look down seeing Magnolia Town from a distance that looks like a small toy set for little kids, climbing up to get this kind of view would take hours or almost the whole day to get up here but Shadow easily ran up in under a minute. Although there is still that vision, he saw from the Chaos Emerald yesterday, he couldn't get those red eyes out of his head for some reason and his gut was telling him to beware of danger.
"What could this mean, why do those eyes feel so familiar and… why do I have the urge to destroy the man who have those eyes?" Shadow asked himself, all these questions have been becoming a bother to him.
"Damn it, I tried using the Chaos Emerald for answers, but they haven't given me anything at all." Shadow said, holding up the green Chaos Emerald from his pocket. All they showed him are the same eyes wondering if they're trying to warn him.
"I need to find out who this man is, but that's going to be difficult since I don't even know where to start." Shadow stated. If only he had a clue, that would be helpful.
"Well, no use worrying about it now, I'll head to the guild and see if there's any job to do." Shadow suggested and ran back to the guildhall.
As Shadow his way back to the guild he senses some unfamiliar present at the guild where everyone is, about six people and one of them is very strong almost to Gildart's level and worries that it could be trouble. He sees the guildhall still standing with no damage as well as on the outside around it, thinking that they haven't started the fight yet or maybe they could be friends to Fairy Tail then he heard some cheering from the inside.
"Hey, what's with all the screaming?" Shadow asked walking into the guild seeing everyone.
"Oh Shadow, just in time, we were about to celebrate with our new friends, the Legion Corps!" Makarov explained gesturing to the six people.
One man has a cleft chin and rounded nose. His blonde hair stands in a great quiff atop his head, and he has quite prominent side-burns. He wears a white, 70's disco-style suit, with the front of the shirt left open to reveal a large amount of chest hair. The forearms of the suit are decorated with golden tassels, and he matches this with a thin red belt. he finishes his look with a pair of black dress shoes and dark, round sunglasses.
"My, you one edgy-looking familiar with dangerous-sweet taste, name's Sugarboy." Sugarboy said in a strange funky tone.
"(I guess he's proofed that disco never dies.)" Shadow thought.
The second person is a woman with shoulder-length purple hair, save for a wide streak of white hair that runs across the left side of her face. She has yellow eyes and thin eyebrows styled into the shape of arrows. She wears a dark green full-body suit, which is sleeveless. Under the top of this suit she has a white collared shirt, through which she ties a red ribbon. Around her waist sits a brown utility belt. Her hands are covered with long gloves that end just before her elbow and her feet are covered by large brown boots. Breasts sizes: D-cup.
"I'm Mary Hughes. Don't think I've seen you here before." Mary pointed out.
"I'm new, joined here for a week." Shadow explained.
"Really, though you look familiar for some reason. Oh yeah, I'm Dan Straight." A man said.
He's a slim, young man with crimson colored hair and magenta eyes. His canines are very sharp. Dan has small, thin lines running down from the ends of his eyes and towards his cheeks. He wears a thick armor over his body which consists of a metallic breastplate that extends down to his knees, making the lower extension appear as a long skirt, while he also wears shoulder pads and gauntlets on his arms. He also wears armor to cover his legs. Underneath it all, he wears a black sweater with dark pants, the latter being covered slightly with a dark green skirt, as well as brown shoes. He carries his two Magic Weapons on his back.
"Greetings, I am called Samuel. And to answer your question Dan, he was at the crash sight after young Natsu saved when she was falling from the sky." The small talking cat answered.
Samuel is a small, anthropomorphous light blue cat. he has cat-like features with whiskers, cat-like ears and nose. His attire consists of a Mitre with the Zentopia Church insignia on it, Gale-Force Reading Glasses, a red scarf adorned by a blue-colored ornament, white "pants", and a dark-blue shirt.
"Oh yeah, I remember seeing Natsu and Lucy carrying an injured guy from the forest. Are you okay by any chance?" A girl asked.
She's a short girl with long brown hair that is braided and tied at the end with a blue bauble. Her cheeks are usually seen flushed and she has a puppy-like nose and smile, giving her the appearance of a cute little animal. She seems to be the youngest of the group though with a figure is more mature and developed body. She dons a pair of dark green tights, which she wears under a colorful dress. The top and sleeves of the dress are white, with a blue collar and cuffs. From her chest downwards, the dress becomes detailed and colorful, being divided into many sections, with the chest area and skirt being yellow, and the part that covers her stomach red. On her feet, her wears a pair of bright red sandals. Breasts sizes: CC-cup.
"…A monkey girl?" Shadow confused her face for a monkey.
"HEY! Who are you calling a monkey, my name is Coco and I look more like a cute puppy dog than a monkey!" Coco snapped.
"You're named after a drink; your parents must stink at names." Shadow tilted his head.
"How dare you?! I'm proud of that name, you bastard!" Coco angered.
"Calm yourself Coco, unlike his guildmates he hasn't met during the Infinite Clock case, so he's just being caution of strangers." The old-looking man said.
He is a tall and muscular man that sports white hair in a similar style to Laxus', with most of it slicked back and having numerous spiky strands pointing backwards, and some strands over his forehead. He has gray eyes and prominent cheekbones. He also has two tufts of hair on both side of his chin which point downwards and has black ring around his eyes. Also, he doesn't have any particular eyebrows. He wears armor on his chest, shoulders, and arm as the rest are a blue shirt, pale brown-gold baggy pants, and black boots.
"I am Byro Cracy, the leader of the Legion Platoon. It's a pleasure to meet you." Byro bowed.
"Shadow, the Ultimate Lifeform from another world." Shadow introduced himself.
"Huh, wait, are you from Edolas I read about once?" Samuel asked.
"No, more like from another universe completely different than Earthland and this Edolas." Shadow answered.
"Whoa, for real?" Dan asked shock.
"Yeah, we were shock about at first too and he said that he was even a human-like hedgehog." Lucy explained.
"A hedgehog, there's no way you could be something cute while you're all dark and rude." Coco denied.
Shadow reach into the pocket of his pants and pulled out a picture of him being a hedgehog, which he seems to be always carry for unknown reason and show it to the platoon as they look at the photo then gasps of seeing his previous form. They look at Shadow, he nodded in response.
"Well, I'll be… guess you can't judge a book by its cover." Coco shocked.
"Anyway, what's this I hear about a party?" Shadow asked as he puts the photo back in the pocket.
"Well, at first these guys were our enemies until later everything got a little complicated until the real threat was revealed as it turns out to be some old dark wizards Fairy Tail beaten seven years ago and they were stronger than ever, but we managed to beat them together preventing from living in a nightmare by a giant fish clock!" Happy explained in his own words as the rest were too complicated to understand for him.
"Yeah, what he said." Natsu nodded.
"I think we should everything some more details to him." Lucy stated.
"It's fine, in other words you guys saved the world. Kinda reminds me of my friends back home." Shadow said with a small smile.
"I'm curious about what your friends are like, we're they cool?" Natsu asked.
Shadow didn't mind talking about his friends to the others, always thinking that Fairy Tail resemble some of his friends back home as he wonders how they're doing right now without him in their world anymore.
"To be honest, we didn't start out as friends as I was their enemy trying to get my revenge on the world." Shadow started telling his life.
"Why would you want revenge?" Gray asked.
"…I was created with alien DNA to be a living cure by a professor who wanted me to cure his granddaughter, Maria. When the government got word of this, they fear that I could be danger to the world and send their soldiers to shut everything down and killed all the scientist there including the professor, Maria and I tried to escape but I was the only one to escape and Maria was killed by a soldier right before me eyes." Shadow explained.
Everyone gasps as they are shock of hearing that those people would kill an innocent little girl because they think Shadow is dangerous from what helped created him, some were angry like Natsu wanting to pound those jerks to the ground while others were sad like Lucy feeling sorry for Shadow losing a friend like how she lost her family.
"I tried destroying the world, but I was eventually stopped by a blue hedgehog named Sonic who was known to be the fastest thing alive, even faster than me. After our battle, I lost all my memories until they came back, and I remembered the promise I made to Maria. That I would keep the world safe with my power, that's why I fight." Shadow finished explaining his life story as his fist glow red emitting his power of Chaos.
"Wow, who knew you went through such an ordeal." Lisanna said, feeling sorry for Shadow.
"Those guys were so UNMANLY to kill a young girl!" Elfman shouted in rage.
"It's alright, ironically I worked for the same group that killed Maria, but I made sure that I do things my way and getting the job done." Shadow mentioned.
"Anyway, I believe there was a party we were going to do." Shadow reminded.
"He's right, let's put away the sad moment enjoy the fun today!" Macao declared, everyone shouted agreeing and everyone got to partying on like wild animals.
They did everything to make things fun like an eating contest between Natsu and Dan though he use his lance to make the meat bigger for Natsu to fall behind, Byro and Gildart were just sitting together being quiet until they got along, and some of the platoon apologizes to Lucy for being rough on her because they were on a mission to get her while they were fooled by the Neo Oración Seis and she forgives them. Samuel calls Panther Lilly brother because he sees him as his own brother, they had their sparing match having fun in the fight unlike their other encounters.
Shadow even had his fun by competing in an arm-wrestling contest against Elfman, the white-haired muscle man couldn't move his arm an inch as he just yawns and slams his arm down with great strength that flipped Elfman over. He joined Gildart and Byro for a drink as they shared a moment while favoring the booze in their cups, he also sees Cana having a drink with a giant barrel as she becomes drunk.
The party went on for hours until sunset and Legion Platoon revealed their real reason for visiting Fairy Tail.
"Huh, you're leaving?" Natsu asked as he and everyone became shock.
"Yes, I'm afraid that is the case, our duty pulls us elsewhere. We been in charge of locating the shattered infinite clock pieces, once we return them, they'll be sealed and hidden away for all of eternity." Byro explained.
"But it's not going to be easy, is it?" Shadow gussed.
"Yes, the clock pieces have lost most of their magic power, so it'll be impossible to detect them." Byro answered.
"Even so, I believe we will meet again." Shadow smirked, shocking the platoon a bit.
"Yeah, we'll like 'tot' see you guys again." Natsu smiled.
"Coco, thank for all your help. And Mary, I hope we'll hang out again." Lucy said to the two females of the platoon.
"I will 'tot' hang out with you again, I promise." Mary said with her cheeks blushing.
"And, well, farewell Lucy and I… hope you'll forgive me for this!" Coco sprinted to the group before anyone could understand what she meant.
Coco grabs Natsu's head by the cheek and pulls him in for her to smack her lips against his, which resulted to everyone except Shadow to gasps of the sudden action including Natsu though he slow sink in to the kiss, mostly Lucy with her face turning red and feeling a little angry.
"HEY! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Lucy asked, pulling the two apart.
"H-hey Lucy, I was the kissy here, n-not the kisser." Natsu pointed out, scared of Angry Lucy a bit.
"No kidding, it took you seven stinkin' years to finally kiss me!" Lucy said.
"Oh good, I… hey, wait a minute." Natsu realized what Lucy was going for, or so he thinks. He's still new of being in a relationship with a girl.
"I'm sorry Lucy, it just Natsu is so brave and strong with a burning passion, literally, and I just couldn't help myself with my heart being drawn to him." Coco confessed.
"Well, I guess it's no big deal, but let me show you how a real kiss is like." Lucy said before pulling Natsu into a kiss and he soon kisses her back.
"I think I'll be calling it a day." Shadow said, teleporting out to his apartment.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Well, bet you weren't expecting Coco to make such a bold move on Natsu in front of everyone including Lucy who is already Natsu's girlfriend and that will be explained in the next chapter as Fairy Tail will also learn of a very important event that's coming soon. Shadow seem to be at ease telling his guild his past and will keep fulfilling his promise to Maria to protect all life which includes Earthland as his new home.
