Tails her with Chapter 4 of Black Flame Ruby, this chapter was a bit of a slog to get through, but I think the rest of the Arc will be more bearable to get through, mind you I'm also reading the Manga as I'm going.
I do not own RWBY, Fairy Tail or Monster Hunter, they belong to Rooster Teeth, Hiro Mashima and Capcom respectively.
Enjoy
We see Ruby, Yang, Wendy, Carla, Siora and the Fairy Tail group, on a ship, with the three Dragon Slayers looking out to the Ocean. "I wish this is how we could experience transportation, all the time." Natsu says, wistfully.
"Yeah, the Motion sickness sucks, but hey without it we could never appreciate something as simple as this." Wendy says, and the two nod.
"Natsu, since we're not in the middle of an important mission, can I ask something, well, personal?" Ruby asks.
"Depends." Natsu says, and Ruby sighs.
"I can feel your Mate Link, but where are they at, cause I know it's not Erza or Lucy?" She asks, and his eyes darken a lot.
"She's missing, two years ago; she went with her sister and brother, on an S-Class job and disappeared. Mira said she seemed to disintegrate in front of her, the rest of the Guild believes she's dead, but I KNOW better." Natsu says.
"Since your souls are linked." Wendy says, and he nods.
"I can still feel her soul, and no matter how far I go, it always feels out of reach." Natsu says, frustrated.
"What's her name?" Ruby asks.
"Lisanna." He says, none of them notice Erza leaning on the mast, with wide eyes.
"Let's just enjoy the Ocean Air, while we can." Wendy says, and they nod, the scene then changes to the Fairy Tail Guild hall.
"Master, we're back from our mission, with 5 new members." Erza says, walking into the Guild.
"There back!" A couple people yell.
"5 people want to join?!" an older man asks, surprised, he's slim with slicked back, dark blue hair and dark eyes.
"Welcome back, so how did the mission go?" A tiny old man asks, then his eyes widen, seeing Siora. "Ah, what are you doing here, Lady Siora?" He asks, shocking the Guild.
"Well, Cait Shelter has disbanded, on account of Roubaul having been a Spirit, and Young Natsu said we'd be welcomed here, Master Makarov." Siora says.
"Oh, well he's correct, on that point, so welcome, you can talk to Mirajane for your Guild Mark." He says, and Natsu takes them to Mirajane. She's a slim but curvy and voluptuous girl with long white hair, and large blue eyes.
"Alright where do you want your marks and what color?" Mira asks.
"Left Shoulder, Red." Ruby says, and Mira nods, putting the Guild stamp on her shoulder, leaving a red mark. "Uhm, no offense, but what's your Guild Mark supposed to be, a Helmet?" She asks, and Mira laughs.
"Believe it or not, the mark is a Fairy with a tail, now you." Mira says, looking at Wendy.
"Right shoulder, blue." Wendy says, and Mira nods, she's then shocked, seeing Yang and Carla.
"Two more Cats like Happy!" Mira says.
"What?!" Several people yell.
"Don't call us cats, we're Exceeds, the names Yang." Yang says. "Now back and black." She says.
"Same location, pink." Carla says, and Mira nods.
"Right here, and gold." Siora says, pointing to her cleavage cut-out.
"The center of your Chest?" Mira asks, and Siora nods.
"Now you four, let's introduce ourselves, my name is Siora Faelar, but most people just call me Lady Siora." Siora says.
"I'm Ruby Rose, I've earned the Alias, Black Flame." Ruby says, shocking those who've heard the Alias.
"I'm Wendy Marvell, I've gained the Alias, The Sky Mistress." Wendy says, also shocking those, who've also heard her Alias.
"As I said my name is Yang, and this is Carla." Yang says, and Carla nods, and after a little while for them to get settled in, Mira walks over to the five of them.
"So what Magic's, do you ladies use, though I imagine Yang and Carla use Aera like Happy." Mira says, getting the Guilds attention.
"Don't compare the two of us to the lazy Exceed, we can use more than Aera, Yang and I both use Elemental Knight Magic, and we're in the process of learning Transformation Magic." Carla says.
"What's Elemental Knight Magic, and why Transformation Magic?" Mira asks.
"Show them Yang." Carla says.
"Salamander, do you want to help me show them?" Yang asks.
"How so?" Natsu asks.
"Just get in the center of the Guild." She says, and he nods, she stands across from him. She starts glowing, then the glow gets bigger, when it dies down, the Fairy Tail members are shocked, with what they see. Being a Girl around the same age as Ruby and Wendy, she's slim, has straight, shoulder-length, blonde hair and red eyes, but she has Yang's ears and Tail, wearing a black, sleeveless, midriff shirt, camo pants, and black boots. "This is why we're learning Transformation Magic, now, Flame Knight's Infernal Spear." She chants, and blue fire condenses into a spear, which she throws at Natsu and he eats it.
"Yang uses Flame Knight Magic, while I use Wind Knight Magic." Carla says, as Yang returns to her Exceed form.
"Anyway, while there is no Magic I don't know of, I'm rather partial to Learning Lost Magics, and my favorite is Arc of Embodiment." Siora says, and the Guild looks at her shocked.
"I use some Requip, Sword and Bow Magic, even a little Teleportation Magic, but my main Magic is my Black Flame Dragon Slayer Magic." Ruby says, shocking the Guild even more, both with the amount of Magic's she knows, at her age, and the fact she's a Dragon Slayer.
"I know a little Requip as well, but I mainly use Enchantments, Sky Dragon Slayer Magic and Sky Dragon Healing Magic, and with a lot of training, I'll be adding Poison Dragon Slayer Magic to my list." Wendy says, also shocking the Guild, that she's also a Dragon Slayer.
"Wait, so we now have four Dragon Slayers!?" Makarov says, shocked.
"Bullshit!" A guy yells, he has long black hair, red eyes and many piercings in his face, shocking a few people. "Metalicana told me about the one and only Black Flame Dragon, and that Dragon would sooner destroy all of humanity, than train a Dragon Slayer." The guy says.
"Your Black Steel Gajeel, right?" Ruby asks.
"Yeah." Gajeel says, and Ruby nods, appearing in front of him.
"Black Flame Dragon's Iron Fist!" Ruby yells, slamming her inflamed fist into Gajeel's face, launching him across the Guild, shocking those who know how strong Gajeel is. "I know how my dad hates Humans, but don't ever say anything about him, like you know him." She says, walking away.
"When it comes to Ruby, you absolutely don't ever say anything bad about her father." Siora says.
"By chance, what is her Dragon's name?" Makarov asks, and Siora smirks.
"Fatalis, the Black Flame Dragon, oldest living Being in the world, and the only being that both the Black Wizard Zeref and the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse Acnologia, fear." She says, shocking everyone, Siora is the only one to notice a masked man with multiple staves on his back, look at Wendy with wide eyes, then turn around and disappear, later we see Siora and Mira talking at the bar, with Siora drinking tea.
"You seem pretty happy, Miss Faelar, is the Tea that good?" Mira asks.
"The Tea is exquisite, yes, but what has me so happy is that I just remembered why your Guilds mark looked so familiar to me." Siora says.
"And that is?" Mira asks.
"It's the same Mark, a man I lovingly call Gildy, has." Siora says, shocking Mira.
[Few days later]
"So where are you ladies staying?" Mira asks, walking up to the four of them.
"We're living pretty close to Natsu. Before we left where Cait Shelter was, mom used Requip to store our house, and brought it back out, when we found a nice clearing in the forest." Ruby says, shocking Mira.
"Wendy?" Mira asks.
"Yes?" Wendy says.
"The other day, you said something that kind of confused me, about Poison Dragon Slayer Magic." Mira says, catching a few people's attention.
"Ah, well, I'll answer this right away, I was only raised by one Dragon, my Mama, Grandeeny, a Sky Dragon. But in the course of the Mission the Alliance did to take down the Oracion Seis, I fought the member, called Cobra, he was a 2nd Generation Dragon Slayer. Which means, he had a Dragon Lacrima implanted into him, a Lacrima made from the Heart of a Dragon, a Poison Dragon, allowing him to use Poison Dragon Slayer Magic. In our battle, I did something very, very stupid, and consumed his Poison. I survived and now I have the potential to use Poison Dragon Slayer Magic, just have to train to use it." Wendy says.
"I guess it was stupid to eat poison." A Guild member says.
"No, what she did could have killed her, you dumbasses, consuming another Dragon Slayer's Element, is funnily enough, poison to a Dragon Slayer. My father told me of the attempts, and the number of those who succeeded, can be counted on a single hand, 4 well now 5. What she did, is something hundreds of Dragon Slayers have died slow and agonizingly painful deaths, attempting." Gajeel says, shocking the entire Guild.
"You're not going to yell at me are you, I've already been reprimanded 5 times." Wendy says.
"Who's the fifth, cause Ruby, Yang, Carla and Siora make 4?" Mira asks.
"It was probably Salamander, he's an idiot, but he at least knows the ins and outs of our Magic, and would definitely know the dangers of attempting it." Gajeel says, and the Guild is a little shocked, when Wendy nods.
"Yeah, Natsu was the fifth who reprimanded me." Wendy says, when everyone hears a bell ringing.
"That Bell, that means…" Natsu says, happy.
"What's going on?" Ruby asks, and the four of them walk to the entrance of the guild.
"Gildarts is back!" Natsu says.
"The man, who is said to possibly be the strongest Mage in Fiore, even stronger than any of the Ten Wizard Saints, which is weird since your Guild Master is also a member of the Ten Wizard Saints." Ruby says.
"Yeah, he's also a member of our Guild." Natsu says.
"Does everyone have to be so loud?" Carla asks, annoyed.
"Well, it makes sense that the Guild is excited, Gildarts has been gone on a mission for the last 3 years." Mira asks.
"Why would the strongest Mage in Fairy Tail take 3 years to do a mission?" Lucy asks.
"He was probably on a Decade or Century Quest." Wendy says, from the Guild entrance.
"What?" Lucy asks.
"You're right Wendy, and Lucy there are 3 types of Quests above an S-Rank Quest, and those are SS-Quests, Decade and Century Quests, Quests that haven't been completed in a decade or Century." Mira explains, and the group of people at the door see how the town has split in two.
"Is this really necessary?" Ruby asks.
"Gildarts uses Crush Magic, pretty much anything he comes into contact with, is smashed to pieces, even Magic, the problem is Gildarts is so laid back, he never really pays attention when he's walking…" Natsu explains.
"And smashes everything he walks into." Ruby says, and Natsu nods, but as they're waiting, they notice 3 figures instead of one. After a few minutes the 3 are now in the Guild, the first is a tall man with orange slicked back hair and dark green eyes, wearing a black cloak, though a few people notice he has many bruises and a black eye. The second guy, none of them but Siora and Ruby know is Castien, makes them think of Siora, he hasn't changed at all, he still has the same spiky, black hair, he just has a tougher look in his cyan eyes, he's wearing a skintight, gray shirt with fore-arm length sleeves, under a long black coat with blue trim, baggy, black gi-pants, held up by a cyan obi, and black boots, on his back is a sheathed longsword, the sheathe is pitch black, along with the handle and curved guard, which has glowing blue markings. The last guy looks about 14, he has messy, blonde hair and dark blue eyes, he's wearing a tight, black shirt, under a white chest plate, blue pants that cut off at the shins, and white greaves and bracers, on his back is a large white twinblade, with swirling blue marks across the blades.
"Gildarts!" The bunch of the Guild screams and crowds around the Orange haired man.
"Who are these two?" The dark blue haired guy asks.
"Hello brother." Siora says, walking up to Castien, and shocking everyone, and Gildarts starts sweating.
"Sister." Castien says, he then seems to start checking her over.
"Problem?" She asks, as he puts his glowing blue hand on her head.
"I'm checking your head, to see if you're alright." He says.
"Why, I'm fine." She says.
"Obviously not, since you slept with that oaf." He says, pointing at Gildarts, and shocking the whole Guild.
"Oh so you learned about that, that explains why Gildy's so beaten up, and I know how you may feel about that, but come on, you have to admit he has a certain charm." Siora says, smiling, and everyone feels a burst of heat, and looks over to see Wendy holding Ruby by the wrist, who's glaring at Gildarts.
"YOU DID WHAT WITH MY MOTHER!" Ruby snarls, as black Flames are flickering around her, Wendy just shrugs and lets go of Ruby, who appears in front of Gildarts, surprising everyone, other than those who've seen her fight, at her speed. "EBONY LOTUS : BLACK FLAME DRAGON'S FIST!" She snarls, throwing a fist of far more concentrated flames, Gildarts put his hand up to stop it, but EVERYONE, except Siora and Castien, is shocked when her fist plows right through his defense and into his face, launching him through the wall, and back through the town and every house in his way.
"Ru-Ruby?" Erza asks after a few minutes.
"What?" Ruby asks.
"Do you know what Siora's, brother meant, when he said 'slept'?" Erza asks.
"Duh, all Dragon Slayers have inherent knowledge, about that type of thing, as soon as we hit the age of 12, pretty much Dragon Slayer Puberty." Ruby explains.
"So that means, anytime the other girls used to bathe with Natsu…" Erza says annoyed, but then the blonde boy speaks up.
"Unless all of you thought Salamander was an idiot about sexes and their differences, then he understood the trust you girls have in him. When it comes to that type of thing, Dragon Slayers are single minded, like Dragons, we have Mating habits like the Dragons who raised us, and in that foil, our souls link with a single person, and only that one person, they are the only one we show romantic affection to." The boy says, diffusing the situation before it can become a situation.
"And you are, well a Dragon Slayer is obvious." Ruby says.
"My name is Jaune Arc, I'm the Arcane Dragon Slayer." Jaune says, and while everyone else is confused by that, Ruby's eyes widen.
"You're the Son of Acnologia!?" Ruby yells, shocking everyone.
"Yes, as much as I hate him, I'll at least admit he raised me." He says.
"Why would you hate your father?" Natsu asks.
"Are you really asking me, why I hate a Murderous and Psychotic Dragon, who kills people by the Country, and is the reason Dragon's are considered extinct." Jaune says, shocking all of them, except Ruby, Siora and Castien, when the wall blows in and Gildarts walks in, rubbing his neck.
"Damn kid, your reaction is understandable, but just damn, that actually hurt a bit." Gildarts says, massaging his shoulder, Makarov then sighs.
"As funny as seeing you get launched through a wall, by a kid was, Gildarts, report on your job." Makarov says.
"Ah Master, sorry but I never even made it to the Client." Gildarts says.
"What?!" The guild.
"Yeah, he had the misfortune of having a run in with my father." Jaune says, shocking everyone.
"You're lucky to even be alive, then." Ruby says.
"Yeah, if the two of them hadn't found me, I probably wouldn't be alive now. Anyway Master, I'm heading home to rest, hey Natsu, come by later, there's a few things I want to talk about." Gildarts says, leaving through the hole he made.
"Wait up Gildarts, there's something I need to talk with you about." Siora says, walking after him.
"Oh, uh, is that right, Lady Siora." He says, blushing, shocking the whole Guild.
"Oh, just call me Siora, and don't worry about my Brother, cause he'll leave you alone from now on, if he knows what's good for him." She says, and Castien shivers at that. "Oh and Cana, can you come to?" She asks, looking at a girl with brown hair, wearing orange pants and a blue bikini top, and the girl nods, seeing it wasn't actually a request, and not wanting to get on Siora's bad side, following after them.
"So, are you two here to join as well?" Makarov asks, looking at Castien and Jaune.
"I never cared to join a Guild, but since my sister is now a part of this Guild, I wouldn't mind joining, and having 5 Dragon Slayer's that can train together, will help with what's to come." Castien says.
"What's that mean?" Makarov asks.
"My Father, from what Castien has told me, eventually goes after every Dragon Slayer he finds." Jaune says, shocking them.
"But.. he raised you." Makarov says.
"Yeah, because my father wants a challenge, someone that can fight him on equal ground, and someone who won't just kill him, like if he ever found her father again." Jaune says, pointing at Ruby.
"Yeah, my dad told me about that fight, he called Acnologia an 'Upstart Prick', calling himself the Dragon King, heh, Acnologia is lucky to have survived that fight." Ruby says, laughing.
"Well talk to Mira at the bar, for your Guild Mark." Makarov says, and the two go over to Mira.
"So, where do you want your mark and what color?" Mira asks.
"Left fore-arm, black." Jaune says.
"Right side of my neck, cyan." Castien says.
"So what Magic do you guys use?" Mira asks.
"Like my sister, there isn't a Magic I don't know how to use, but I prefer Maker Magics." Castien says, confusing them that both of them said there's no Magic they don't know.
"Is there one you prefer over others?" Gray asks, and Castien takes a Maker stance, creating an orange Magic Circle.
"Magma Make : Manticore." Castien says, and a Manticore appears behind him, made of Magma, scorching the floor, and shocking everyone. "Magma Make is one of a few lost forms of Maker Magic." He explains, and the Manticore dissipates.
"I use my Arcane Dragon Slayer Magic, mainly, some Requip, and Chaos Sword Magic." Jaune says.
"What does that mean, what type of Magic do you eat?" Mira asks.
"The real question is, what type of Magic can't I eat." He says, shocking them. "By the way, that's rhetorical, Dragon Slayer Magic, and Sword Magic are the few Magics I can't eat." He says.
"Are, are you saying…" The blue haired guy asks.
"I'm immune to most forms of magic, I can even eat magic items." Jaune says, shocking them, and Gray tosses him a communication Lacrima.
"You've gotta be making that up." Gray says, but is shocked when Jaune chomps on it like an apple.
"There's a reason, no one has ever come close to making my father try in a fight, no one but a Dragon Slayer has a chance against him." Jaune says.
[Later]
"So why are you coming with me to see Gildarts?" Natsu asks, as he, Happy, Ruby, Yang, Wendy and Carla are walking through Magnolia.
"Mom's still with him." Ruby says, annoyed.
"Come on Ruby, Mom's a grown adult, and can make her own decisions." Yang says.
"I know that, but Mom's cooking tonight." Ruby says.
"We know, you're only excited because she's also making Cookies tonight." Wendy says, and Ruby pouts.
"No one makes cookies like mom does." Ruby says, as they're walking up to a house.
"Hey Gildarts!" Natsu yells, throwing the door, and sees Gildarts hugging Cana. "Oh you finally told him, you're his daughter?" He asks, shocking Gildarts.
"You knew and didn't tell me?" Gildarts asks.
"One, I figured it out after you left to go on the Century Quest, and two, when I asked Cana about it, she asked me to keep it to myself, you learning has to come from her. Which she's not wrong, it wasn't my place to tell you." Natsu says.
"When did you get so mature, anyway, how are you and Lisanna doing?" Gildarts asks, and Cana looks at Natsu, who nods at her.
"She's been missing for the last 2 years, she went on the last S-Class Mission Mira went on, Elfman lost control of a Take Over and knocked Lisanna away, and when Mira found her, she seemingly disintegrated. The rest of the Guild believes she's dead, but because I'm a Dragon Slayer, and she's my Mate, I know she's still alive, the only person in the Guild that I've told any of this is Cana. As well, she's the only person over the last two years to know I've been straight up lying to the Guild when I told them I was going to look for Igneel…" Natsu says.
"And you were really looking for Lisanna." Gildarts says.
"Yeah." Natsu says.
"And you haven't found her, and why haven't you told the Guild?" Gildarts asks.
"It's probably his Dragon instincts, he probably blames Mira and Elfman for his Mate missing, and it's a massive showing of trust, that he told Cana." Ruby says.
"Natsu, that's not fair to Mira or Elfman." Gildarts says, and Natsu looks down.
"Mister Gildarts don't be mad at Natsu, it's something us Dragon Slayers can't help, our Mates are the most important things to us. And if someone, in any way, is the cause of their death, we will almost always see them as our enemy, before we die." Wendy explains.
"Almost, and what do you mean die?" Gildarts asks.
"In this case, Lisanna is alive but missing, if Natsu ever finds her, his relationship with Mira and Elfman will be like nothing ever happened." Ruby says, Natsu then sighs.
"And about the dying part, the death of a Mate is the most painful thing a Dragon can feel, and add human emotions into the mix, well, a Dragon Slayer WILL hunt down the one or ones responsible for their Mates Death and kill them, then commit suicide." Natsu explains, horrifying both Cana and Gildarts.
"What?!" Gildarts yells.
"Yes, after finding their Mate, Dragon Slayers cannot live without them, so if their Mate dies, the Dragon Slayers only desire is to be with them again, and nothing else matters." Siora explains.
"Why didn't you tell me any of this!?" Cana yells.
"Because, it's none of your concern, Lisanna is still alive so there's no chance of him doing it, and most of all, there's nothing you could do to stop it, if she was actually dead." Ruby says.
"We could keep him under watch." Cana says, and Ruby sighs.
"You don't understand, do you, suicide is the easy death for a Dragon Slayer who've lost their Mate, cause if they don't take their own life, their Magic will steadily become more and more unstable, until it eventually explodes out of them, killing them and everything around them for a few miles." Ruby explains, shocking Gildarts and Cana.
"Yes, Dragon Slayer Magic is very powerful, but like a lot of powerful Magics, it has its own downsides, and some of those downsides are pretty dark." Wendy says, and Cana sighs.
"And I thought motion sickness was the worst you guys had to deal with." Cana says, trying to bring up the mood a little, but then she looks pensive at Natsu. "What about Laxus?" She asks, surprising him, and he sighs.
"I'm not sure, he might get a Mate link, but I don't know how he would react if they died, I don't know how strong Dragon Instincts are in 2nd Generation Dragon Slayers." Natsu says.
[Next day]
"Hey Jaune, there's something you said the other day that I don't understand." Lucy says.
"And that would be what?" Jaune asks.
"Well, you said how much you hate Acnologia, yet you still call him father." Lucy says, confused, and Jaune sighs.
"Despite hating him, and Acnologia being an unredeemable monster, he was still more a father than my blood father ever was." Jaune says.
"Oh, could you give us a description of Acnologia, if he is going to come after Dragon Slayers?" Lucy asks, getting people's attention.
"Heh, I can do you one better, Memory Projection." Jaune says, putting his index and middle finger to his temple, and a large white Magic Circle appears in the middle of the hall, and flickering into existence is a mastodonic Dragon, covered in rounded, black scales with blue spiraling markings, aside from the underside of his body which are gray scales, all of which are surprisingly smooth, he has a blunt and rounded head, two large wings that are almost feathery, and a tail ending in a stinger-esque shape. "That is my Father, Acnologia, the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse, and the reason Dragons are mostly extinct." He says, and the image disappears after a few minutes.
"That's the second time you said that, what do you mean?" Gray asks.
"Acnologia killed all but a few dozen Dragons, I'm not sure about what happened to Wendy, Natsu, or Gajeel's parents, but I know the so called four Dragon Gods are alive, cause their cowards, a large handful of Dragons that are Elder Beings are still alive, Acnologia wouldn't dare draw their ire, my father already put him in his place, and he's in a reality separate from our own." Ruby says.
"The four what!?" Erza says, but before Ruby or Jaune can say anything, the doors burst open, everyone looks and sees a cloaked man with a blue bandanna and a green mask obscuring his face, and bundle of staves on his back, stumbling in, before falling down.
"Mystogan?!" Makarov says, running up to him, with a few other people, including Wendy and Ruby. "What happened?" He asks.
"I've failed, I couldn't stop the Anima." Mystogan says, and Makarovs eye's widen.
"Anima, I've heard that word before!" Wendy says, and Mystogan looks at her, he puts his hand up to his head and takes the bandanna and mask off, and everyone, but Makarov is shocked seeing Jellal. "Je-Jellal?" She asks, confused.
"Yes, but not the one you just met, during the Oracion Seis mission, I'm the one you met 7 years ago." Jellal says, when his, Natsu, Ruby, Wendy, Jaune, Happy, Carla and Yang's vision are engulfed in gray, and after a few minutes, they get up pushing off what seems to be grayish blue sand.
"What is this, what happened?" Wendy asks, now holding an unconscious Jellal.
"Everyone was taken to the world of Edolas, by the Anima, except him." Carla says, referring to Jellal.
"Edolas, that's where Mom said Exceeds were from." Ruby says.
"Yeah, but what makes him different from the others, cause he's not a Dragon Slayer, or an Exceed like the 7 of us?" Jaune asks, pointing out that fact to Natsu, Ruby and Wendy.
"I don't know about Jellal, but we need to get the others back." Wendy says.
"I know, but the only way to do that is to go through the Anima, and to do that we Exceeds are required, and if you hadn't noticed there's only three of us." Carla says.
"Meaning I'll have to stay here with Mystogan." Jaune says, a tad annoyed. "But we also don't have any information on this world, Edolas." He says.
"Actually, Mom told me a bit about Edolas, since I wanted to know more about where Yang came from. She told me that Edolas is a world that has started to lose its Magic. It's limited, unlike here, that's all she told me." Ruby says.
"The King of Edolas in a bid to reverse the Magic Loss, connected Edolas with Earthland with the Anima, to suck up Magic. It started 6 years ago, but it wasn't producing the desired effect, now I know why, because he was going around shutting them." Carla says pointing at Jellal. "But it seems it was too big for him to shut, and sucked up the Guild as the greatest source of Magic in the area." She says.
"Salamander, you haven't said anything, that's unlike you." Jaune says, and they all look at Natsu, to see him holding his chest.
"Happy take me through the Anima." Natsu says.
"Natsu, what's going on?" Happy asks.
"It's your Mate Link, isn't it, it's pulsing." Ruby says, realizing why he's holding his chest.
"Lisanna is through the Anima." Natsu says, and Happy's eyes widen.
"Mama?!" Happy says, looking at the Anima, tearing up a bit.
"That settles it, we're going to get our Guild mates back and Natsu's Mate." Wendy says, and they all nod, as Happy Carla and Yang grab a hold of their Dragon Slayer and fly into the sky.
"Release your Magic, Yang, male cat, we have to be as fast as possible to break through the traces of the Anima!" Carla yells, and they nod as things seem to blur to Natsu, Wendy and Ruby, before everything is gray again, for a few seconds, then they're flying through a very different sky. All around them are floating islands, weird flying creatures, odd looking trees, and even a waterfall going up and one going out like waves, out of nowhere Happy, Carla and Yang's Wings disappear, and they fall out of the sky, though they land on a surprisingly bouncy, pink bush, bouncing them onto the ground safely.
"Why'd our wings disappear?" Happy asks.
"Guess I should've expected that, if this world is losing its Magic, we probably can't use ours at will." Ruby says.
"Right." Carla says, nodding at her.
"Hey look, it's the Guild!" Happy says, pointing at a tree with a sign on it, with the Fairy Tail Guild Mark on it.
"Happy, it's unlikely that this is our Fairy Tail, it's probably this world's version of the Guild." Ruby says.
"Correct again." Carla says.
"But, maybe they could help." Ruby says.
"What do you mean?" Happy asks.
"Well, they're still Fairy Tail, maybe they'll help us." Ruby says, walking up to the door, with the others beside her, and she knocks on the door. They hear whispering as the doors are thrown open, and they see a group of people standing in the doorway, who look similar to their Guild Members, but also very different, and there's a spiked club being swung at Ruby, who unsheathes her Wakizashi, which bursts into black flames, shocking everyone, but Ruby, slicing through the club like it's nothing, sending a part of the club behind them, and she resheathes her Wakizashi. "Is that how you welcome everyone who needs help?" She asks, but she's seemingly ignored as they're all looking at Natsu, and Lucy's counterpart walks up.
"Where have you been, Natsu, you've been gone for too long." Edolas Lucy says, hugging him, making him tense up, and a few others notice it, then she smirks. "That means punishment time!" She yells, starting to noogie him, but she and everyone else is shocked when Natsu throws her off.
"Alright, I know you think I'm someone else, but my name is Natsu Dragneel, and you may not believe me, but the 6 of us are from another world called Earthland, and our Fairy Tail was taken by the Anima, because of the king." Natsu says, and they all look at him, even more shocked, then someone bursts through the door.
"They're here, the Fairy Hunters!" A member yells.
"What, they've found us again?!" Another yells.
"Levy, can't we transfer yet?" Edolas Lucy yells.
"Will you shut the hell up, I'm doing it, Lucy." Edolas Levy yells pissed.
"What are Fairy Hunters?" Wendy asks.
"The Fairy Hunters, are captains of the royal armies magical warfare, 2nd and 4th divisions, and are after us, because we're the last Wizard Guild, since the King ordered the abolishment of all Wizard, making us a Dark Guild." A girl that looks like an older and more mature version of Wendy, says.
"Wait, Wendy, this kid looks like you." Macao's counterpart says, and a few people nod, then look shocked, looking at Ruby.
"We're ready, transfer!" Edolas Levy yells, the tree disappears, and we see a large flying creature, with two figures on it.
"I fucking hate these damn cowards, can't you make this fucking Legion fly any fucking faster, Knightwalker!" One of the figures screams.
"Will you shut up, Thorn! I know, they're cowards, but they have a limit on how many times they can transfer, we will catch them eventually, and then, they'll be at our mercy." Knightwalker says, chuckling sadistically.
"Tch, I'm too fucking tired to deal with this right now, and wasn't the giant Anima supposed to be activated today, we should probably go see how that's going." Thorn says, and Knightwalker nods, flying off, then the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild grows out of the ground somewhere else.
"What the heck was that?!" Ruby yells, as Natsu, Wendy, Carla, Happy, Yang and herself, are sprawled on the floor.
"Why the hell do you take so long to activate the transfer, Levy!" Edolas Lucy screams.
"Please, if you had half the brain that I do, then maybe you could use the machine, but you're sadly not that smart, and it's the bane of my existence!" Edolas Levy screams back.
"Is everyone alright?" A voice asks, and Ruby sees Natsu tense up, she looks and sees, a very pretty girl with pale skin, short white hair, bright blue eyes, and she's wearing a blue dress.
"Lisanna." Ruby hears Natsu mutter, and he goes to get up, but Ruby grabs his wrist.
"Is that Earthland Lisanna?" Ruby whispers,and he nods, without hesitation. "I know, you don't want to hear this, and I don't want to suggest it either, but maybe you should wait to speak to her, we really don't know anything about this world and we don't know where our Guild mates might be." She says, he sighs and nods.
"So what was that thing?" Natsu asks.
(When did Natsu get back?) Lisanna thinks, then notices his outfit, and her eyes widen. (It can't be!) She thinks.
"Well, that Mister Dragneel, were the Fairy Hunters, the captains of the royal army's magical warfare, 2nd and 4th divisions, Erza Knightwalker and Ruby Thorn." Edolas Mirajane says, Lisanna's eyes widen more, then we see the figures again and we see Erza, but her hair is wavy and flowing, with an elegant, loosely tied knot in the back, she's dressed a little provocatively, and has a spear on her back, and the other, looks like a 20 year old Ruby, she has untamable, spiky, shoulder-length hair, she's wearing a thigh-length, black kimono with a red obi, black thigh-high socks, and red geta-sandals, on her back is a scythe, the staff is black and the blade is crimson, and there is a red lacrima, at the base of the blade, the scene switches back to the Guild.
"Erza's an enemy?" Natsu mutters.
"And my Counterpart is an enemy." Ruby mutters, and about a few hours later, they're all sitting there.
"So you guys are really from another world, and your Fairy Tail really was taken from your world?" Edolas Jet asks.
"And Erza is a member of the Guild, and this kid is your counterpart of Thorn?" Edolas Droy asks.
"Yep, my name's Ruby Rose though." Ruby says, and the Edolas Fairy Tail is surprised how friendly she is.
"This is weird, you're, well, nice compared to Thorn." Edolas Wakaba says.
"What do you mean?" Wendy asks.
"Well, young lady, Thorn has, well, extreme anger issues, and she can rarely go a sentence without any type of profanity." Edolas Cana says.
"And this girl is my counterpart." Edolas Wendy says, a little shocked.
"Could any of you take us to the Capital, I'm sure that's where our Guild is being kept as a giant Lacrima." Carla says.
"Give up on this idea, everyone who stands against the king, loses their lives." Edolas Wendy says.
"We've lost half our Guild, including our Master, since we refuse to disband." One member says, crying.
"It's best to stay away from the capital, you should just go back home." Edolas Lucy says.
"Sorry guys." Ruby says, looking at Natsu and Wendy.
"What do you mean?" Natsu asks.
"Well we only came here, because I thought they could help us, but it turns out our Guilds Counterpart is full of cowards." She says.
"What the hell, did you say, you little brat!" Edolas Jet and Droy roar, when she unsheathes her Wakizashi, which bursts into flame, and everyone in the Guild flinches as she glares.
"You see that, I've told you I'm nothing like Thorn, but you still flinched, just because I look like her, not taking into account I'm 12, if that isn't cowardice, then I don't know what is." She says, sheathing her Wakizashi.
"Ruby's right about one thing, we're not leaving, we're getting our Guild back. In Earthland there's one thing everyone knows, you don't mess with Fairy Tail, it doesn't matter if it's another Guild or a whole damn Kingdom." Natsu says, shocking them, but Lisanna's heart flutters
(You haven't changed a bit, Natsu.) Lisanna thinks. "I can take you guys." She says.
"What?!" Everyone yells.
"They aren't going to go back to their world, and it doesn't sit right with me, if they leave on their own." She says, and they nod reluctantly.
"Well, don't forget, a few weapons." Edolas Mirajane says, handing her a sword. "And you two, come back here, and grab a weapon." She says, taking Natsu and Wendy into a back room, and they see a bunch of Magic Items, they both see something, Natsu grabs a crimson saber hilt called a sealed flame Blade, and Wendy grabs a small, light blue, cylinder, called an Air Shatter Cannon, and after about an hour, the group of 7 is resting in a forest clearing.
"Ruby, how was your weapon still able to access, your Dragon Slayer Magic?" Natsu asks.
"Well, Hametsu has multiple enchantments on it, one of them, stores my Dragon Slayer Magic when I'm asleep." Ruby says, and Natsu nods
"Liz, you realize that you can't fool me, right, I know you're our Lisanna." He says, after a few minutes, looking at Lisanna, who has Happy napping on her lap.
"Natsu, I'm sorry for not saying anything sooner, but I couldn't let them know I'm not their Lisanna, she died 2 years ago." Lisanna says.
"I understand, you haven't changed a bit, you're still the girl I fell in love with." Natsu says, smiling, making her blush.
"Na-Natsu, where did that come from, you never said it before." She says.
"Liz, you were gone for two years, while I knew then, I never really thought about it, since how close we were, but over these last two years, nothing's been the same after you were taken here." He says.
"Oh, we-well, anyway it'll take a few days to get to the Capital, on the way we should stop at the town of Louen, for a few supplies." She says, and they nod.
Read and Review please.
Chapter notes
About the Helmet comment, that is what I thought they're Guild Mark was for the Longest time. And Yang's Human Form, imagine Shizue from reincarnated as a Slime, with blonde hair, red eyes, cat ears and Tail, and without the burn mark.
