Unexpected Batty Reunion during Training!

Shadow is seen sitting on a rock enjoying the peaceful day while watching Natsu sweeping the front yard of the small guildhall.

That's right, Natsu Dragneel, the one known as Salamander the Fire Dragon Mage of Fairy Tail who caused destruction wherever he goes mostly by accident during jobs, taking things to the extreme, is sweeping with a broom in his hand and it is no illusion.

"So, why exactly are you sweeping, Natsu?" Shadow asked as he tilt his head.

"Because it's my turn to sweep the guild, but it's soooo boring." Natsu winced.

"Then why bother doing it?" Shadow asked again.

"Hopefully, something exciting like a new job will come up soon, but at least Happy is helping too." Natsu mentioned.

"You mean like that?" Shadow pointed to where the blue cat is, sleeping peaceful.

"YOU STUPID CAT!" Natsu shouted in rage that his best friend is sleeping when he should be helping him with the sweeping.

"I still don't understand how the cats of this world are born from eggs; it just doesn't make sense." Shadow stated disbelief from the story he heard from the other guild members.

"What else is there to understand, Happy and the other exceed came from eggs and hatched out of them, simple as that." Natsu said, always saying the things he does not understand sometimes.

"Okay… so, yesterday sure was a blast partying with those Legion Platoons." Shadow said, since he came back from the mission that time.

"Yeah, those guys sure know how have to fun despite that serious old guy who smiled for the first time in who knows how long." Natsu smiled, hoping to see those guys again in the future soon.

"I'm more surprised you were cooled with that Coco kissing you like that." Shadow teased making Natsu jump with his face turning pink like his hair.

"I didn't know you were into dog girls too." Shadow added.

"Sh-Shut up, how was I supposed to know Coco had feelings for me and do that! Besides, I have Lucy!" Natsu pointed out.

"This gotten me curious, how did you two started dating? Looks to me like you didn't know anything about dating and such." Shadow asked.

"You're not wrong there, back before the infinite clock adventure and waking up after seven years I didn't know anything about liking girls at all. Growing up in the mountain with a fire dragon can make you lack any social knowing or whatever." Natsu admitted as he scratches the back of his head.

"Gray always did say you have ashes for brains and a major idiot." Shadow mentioned.

"HEY?! That Ice Princess is the idiot, always taking off his clothes whenever he wants and thinking he's better than me which he is NOT!" Natsu angered.

"At least Gray knows when to stay 'cool.'" Shadow joked, causing Natsu to laugh for a few seconds and said.

"I don't get it?"

"So, what made you changed your view on the females?" Shadow asked.

"Well, I hanged out with other girls in the guild, but I never really saw them more than just friends though I did feel… different to Luc, not like any other girls I know." Natsu started explaining.

"Whenever I'm with Lucy, I feel like my world has just expanded and we stick together ever since she joined Fairy Tail we've been through all the crazy adventures. She can even hold her own in fights pretty well with her Celestial spirits and herself, but there are times when she can be a bit wincing." Natsu mentioned, remembering all the adventures and peaceful times with Lucy.

"Although, there are times when I find her butt on her head or touching her breasts without realizing it." Natsu chuckled nervous, remembering the embarrassing times too.

"(You don't sound that embarrass.)" Shadow thought noticed the tone.

"It was later during the S-Class ranking on Tenrou Island, when Lucy was hurt by one of the big shots of the Grimoire Heart, I was really pissed off so much I wanted to save her, and we defeated the white fat man together. It was awesome! It was then I realize that I love her and decided to confess my love to her after fighting the enemy."

"But then the black king dragon Acnologia suddenly showed up and blasted the island while guys were saved by a spell that made you sleep for seven years while still looking the same. I heard that from Mira." Shadow recalled hearing the story from Mira.

"Yeah, my head is still blank on the big talk everyone was talking about." Natsu confessed, his brain couldn't handle all that knowledge at once.

"Anyway, after some of the guildmates who weren't on the island found us after the island reappeared, I was shocked to see them all age up while me and others remind the same. And when I saw Lucy, my body just moved on its own and jump at her with my lips onto hers before either of us realize it and… well, the rest is history." Natsu ended his story.

"Wow finally summoned the courage. Nice job there." Shadow commented.

"Thanks, I'm still new to all this dating stuff but we're figuring this out together." Natsu nodded.

"Glad to hear that." Shadow smiled, wondering to himself if he can find love again like with Rouge back in his old world.

"(I don't know why, but I get the feeling we'll be doing something both exciting and dangerous at the same time.)" Shadow thought.

(Later)

"Come on, we can totally win this year with the Tenrou Island team back, we have a chance." Romeo argued with his dad.

"And I told you no, we're not doing this again!" Macao argued back.

"Well, this sure is interesting." Shadow said.

Earlier, Makarov called everyone (except Natsu, Luc, Wendy, Gray, Happy, and Carla are out trying to find a way to boost their power after missing seven years of training) to informed them of the new guild mater Gildarts, but the man was a no-show and left a letter stating his reasons for not taking the job and made Laxus part of Fairy Tail again and Makarov master again much to his disproval. Makarov got all angry that he will be guild master until the day he dies and starts drinking some deer, then the next thing everyone knows Romeo starts bringing up about a tournament and Macao doesn't seem to like the idea with everyone else agreeing something about wanting to suffer all that again.

"Hey, we're back." Natsu announced as he and the others enter the guild.

"Sup guys, Laxus is back in the guild, Makarov is apparently Master again, and the son and father are arguing about a tournament they went through." Shadow informed.

"Tournament, that sounds awesome, where do I sign in?" Natsu exciting.

"Cool your jets, Natsu, at least let's hear about it first." Lucy calmed down her boyfriend.

"While you guys were stuck on Tenoru island, there's a tournament to determine Fiore's number one guild." Romeo explained.

"Guilds from all over the country gather to face off against each other in magic events, they call it the Grand Magic Games!" Romeo said.

"Awesome!" Natsu hyped up.

"That sounds totally amazing!" Lucy agreed.

"Yeah, I love to play some games!" Wendy said.

"So, it's more like a magic festival?" Gray guessed.

"I understand, Sabretooth became number one when they won the last go rounds." Erza stated.

"That's right, but if we can beat them and win the games this year, we'll be number one instead." Romeo explained getting the Tenrou wizards excited.

"That does sound good, but I'm not sure if we can win in our current state.' Makarov concerned.

"That's what I've been saying all along.: Macao said.

"And the winner will get 30,000,000 jewels as the prize money!" Romeo added.

"We're in!" Makarov quickly changed his mind.

"Hmm, mention anything about money and the old man will go for it." Shadow amused of this.

"Heh, tell me about it." Laxus chuckled, hearing that with his super hearing of a dragon.

"When does this game starts anyway?" Natsu asked.

"It kicks off in three months!" Romeo answered, glad to see his lifetime idol is in and so it everyone else including Shadow.

"That's plenty of time, but we have to get training very hard, so we'll have to start training ASAP!" Natsu said pounding his flaming fists together.

"Well, then I wish you luck in three months." Shadow smirked.

"You're going off alone?" Erza asked.

"Yeah, I'm a part of Fairy Tail that means I got do my part on helping this guild become number one!" Shadow said.

"Hey Shadow, when you visit me let's have another sparring match, I won't lose to you next time!" Natsu challenged Shadow for a rematch.

"Sure, I'll be happy to take you on." Shadow accepted the challenge.

"Shadow just remember no matter how strong one may be, there are only so much one can do alone and your strength will grow even more with others by your side and in your heart. Never forget that being in a guild, especially in Fairy Tail are your family." Makarov advised, letting him know that the guild will always be there for him the most.

"Thanks. See you in three months." Shadow said before teleporting away.

"Alright guys, let's get started!" Natsu grinned.

(One Week Later)

One week have passed since everyone from Tenrou island heard of the Grand Magic Games and separate in groups going to separate locations to train hard for the three date of the event though Shadow went off to train alone.

Shadow decided to go up the mountain almost close to a town he visited once for a job request to deal with bandits as he is seen running up the mountain itself with a large rock almost twice his sizes tied to his back for weight training to increase his speed and strength into his legs.

Later, using the same rock on his back to do push-ups about 500 and 500 more to go, same with doing weight lifts. He even has large rocks tied to his arms though smaller than the one on his back, they are still heavy to increase the striking strength of his punches and the speed to throw them too.

He practices hard using his Chaos powers trying to make more Chaos Spears than he would normally make while meditating as his body floats about ten feet above the ground. He also fires his Chaos Spears at the targets he made and launched them high and far, but he manages to hit every single one of them. And they exploded from Shadow command to make it a little dramatic on his part, to show off at the games.

He does his Spin Dash attack for some time, bouncing off some trees like a giant game of pinball and increasing the speed of his spin to make the dash more powerful. He would also break through the trees like a high-powerful chainsaw, cutting them clean like a very sharp knife on butter.

"Alright, looks like I'm making some good progress." Shadow noticed that his is getting strong from just one week.

"Hmm, I wonder how the others are doing?" Shadow asked, looking up to the sky as he thinks of everyone of Fairy Tail.

Then his ear twitches a bit upon hearing a single snapped of a stick and a few footsteps.

"If you come here for a fight, then you better turn around before you end up in a coma for months." Shadow threatened as his fist glows red without turning around.

"Well, it's a good thing you still have your shady emo after being brought to this world." A woman's voice sassed.

Shadow's eyes widen that the voice is so familiar to him, but he thought it was impossible since he was the only one at the that room where Dark Room used the Chaos Emerald to send him to Earthland, yet his instinct is telling him to trust this voice and turn around to meet this person face to face.

Shadow slowly turns around, not dropping his guard as he is being cautions in case this one is an enemy with the same voice and has been sent out to kill him hired by others, but once her see the person his arms drop, and his eyes widen again as his heart start beating faster.

"…Rouge…?" Shaodw uttered a single word.

"Hey there, dark handsome, miss me?" The woman now called Rouge asked sarcastically.

Rouge is a human with the mature body is a full-grown woman with tan skin, white hair, and teal eyes. She still has the bat features of her anthropomorphic bat form back on Mobius of large pointy ears, small fangs, a short tail, and a pair of black wings on her back. Her short white hair flares out at the back and she typically wear blue eyeshadow, as well as lipstick. She wears black skintight unitary with no sleeves, a pink, heart-shaped chest plate-like top with white trim, and tall white gloves and boots with pink cuffs. The boots are high heeled and feature hearts on the toes. Breasts sizes: H-cup.

All Shadow did was rush toward Rouge with his superspeed, bringing her into his arms for an embrace, and kiss her on the lips shocking the bat woman a little until she kisses him back and wrap her arms around his back to enjoy the moment.

This is no dream. The feeling of his girlfriend's lips on his, touching her body with his hands including on her butt giving them a good squeeze which made her moan in the kiss, and the sensation from the kiss filling his mind with love like fireworks going off around them. This is real, Rouge the Bat is with him on Earthland right now, and he has never been happier to have her here right now. Her larger breasts were new to him, but he didn't care.

The kiss lasted for seven minutes until the two separates for air to breathe from the long love session.

"I guess that means you miss me that much." Rouge chuckled.

"I'm so glad you're here, but how? I thought you were at the computer lab." Shadow asked.

"Well, you weren't exactly the only one who went that abandoned lab. After I was done uploading the data, I decided to follow you in case of backup not that I doubted you, but my gut was telling me you would be in big trouble." Rouge started explaining how she got here.

(Flashback)

Rouge flies through the hallways making sharp turns to where Shadow is hoping that her instinct is wrong when she gets there.

Once she reaches the room, she is suddenly pulled in by a strong vortex as she grabs on to the ledge of the doorway holding on to dear life.

"By the time I got there, Dark Doom has already activated the portal to send you away with the Chaos Emeralds." Rouge said.

Rouge see Shadow being pulled into the vortex and it was starting to close up while Dark Doom let out an evil laugh that he believes he had won, and it sure looked that way until she got a crazy idea that might just work.

"Dark Doom certainly would've been a pain in the ass until I decided to give him a taste of his medicine."

Rouge lets go of the ledge and use the vortex suction to increase her speed flying toward the distracted black alien and kick him in the back to push him into the vortex as she soon follows. Then the vortex close, vanished from sight.

"It was a rough ride, let me tell you and when I came to, I was shock to find myself as a human."

Rouge crash landed somewhere in a forest near the river. When she wakes up, she saw her reflection on the rushing water gasped of her now human body.

(Flashback End)

"I started to learn about this world and you making a name for yourself, I intended to go to Magnolia where this Fairy Tail guild is, but I found you here instead." Rouge finished her story.

"So, Dark Doom is here too." Shadow sighed, wondering if he's the one from his vision.

"What are you doing out here anyway?" Rouge asked.

"I'm training for the Grand Magic Games, I'm gonna help Fairy Tail become number one again!" Shadow answered.

"Then I hope they won't mind a new girl joining in on the fun." Rouge said with butterfly eyes.

"I'm sure they'll be thrill to have you!" Shadow reassured, grabbing onto Rouge and they teleported to the guildhall so they can meet their newest member.
