Tails here with Chapter 5 of Black Flame Ruby, as I've been reading the manga as well, which has helped, it's still been a slog but it's starting to get good, at one point I actually nerded out when Erza and Gray appeared. Lot of F-bombs, and took some liberties, with the chapter.
I do not own RWBY, Fairy Tail, or Monster Hunter, they belong to Rooster Teeth, Hiro Mashima and Capcom, respectively.
Enjoy.
We see the group of 7, walking into the town of Louen, when Ruby's nose twitches. "That's odd, I smell Lucy, oh and hey, we still have our enhanced senses." Ruby says.
"Oh no, I should've known she'd follow, Lucy Ashley is obsessed with Natsu Dragion, which means she heard that, I've been lying to them, and I'm not their Lisanna." Lisanna says, starting to panic.
"Calm down, Miss Lisanna, the Lucy I smell is our Lucy, Lucy Heartfillia, but how'd she get here." Ruby says, shocking them.
"Well, we should go and find her before she gets in trouble." Natsu says, and they nod.
"Yeah, the army is particularly annoyed with Lucy Ashley, it'd be bad for Earthland Lucy to be mistaken for Edolas Lucy." Lisanna says.
"So what's Dragion like, he's my counterpart right?" He asks, and Lisanna sighs.
"Natsu Dragion…, is a pants pissing coward, unless he's in a vehicle, then he acts like no one can beat him, but all you gotta do is pull him out, and he folds like a paper bag." She says, shocking them, Natsu in particular.
"It's not like you to say things like that." He says, a little surprised.
"I know, it's just, he looks so much like you, yet he has no backbone." She says, making him blush a bit.
"So you're saying he makes me look bad." He says chuckling, and she blushes, but then they hear Wendy and Ruby chuckle, making Lisanna blush even more, and after a few minutes they hear a ruckus.
"Let me go!" They hear Lucy yell, they look and see some guards holding the arm of Lucy, and they recognize her as Earthlands Lucy, even Lisanna can tell this isn't the Lucy she knows.
"You're Lucy right?" One of the guards asks.
"Yeah, that is my name, but what is this about?" She asks.
"So this is Earthlands Lucy?" Lisanna asks.
"I'm telling you that hurts." Lucy says, holding a golden key. "Open Gate of the Scorpion : Scorpio!" She chants, and to the shock of the 7 of them, the key works, as a tall and lean, dark skinned man appears, he has short hair that's half white and half red, a large tail that's a gun, shaped like a scorpion tail, he wears no shirt, a red sheet like cloth around his lower body, held by a belt with his zodiac sign on it, black shorts, bandages covering his arms and legs.
"Yee-haa! Sand Buster!" Scorpio yells, on all fours and his tail pointed to them, releasing a tornado of sand.
(But how?) Ruby and Wendy think, as their minds are running a mile a minute.
"Lucy!" Natsu yells as they run up to her.
"I missed you guys, but where are we?" Lucy asks.
"We're in the world of Edolas, Earthlands counterpart, but the real question is how did you use your Magic?" Yang asks.
"What do you mean, another world, and I used my Magic like I always do." Lucy says, she then looks at Lisanna. "Whose this, and why does she look like Mira." She asks, and Natsu sighs.
"Lucy, meet Lisanna." Natsu say's, shocking Lucy.
"But isn't she…" Lucy goes to say.
"Dead?" Natsu finishes and sighs again. "That's what the Guild thought, but the truth is she was taken by an Anima, just like our Guild was, which is another thing, how are you here and able to use your magic?" He says, but more Guards are on their way. "Crap." Natsu says, taking out the hilt and Ruby unsheathes Hametsu. The hilt bursts with a compressed, but crimson, flame shaped like a sabers blade, which shocks Lisanna, and Hametsu erupts into black flames. "I'm glad that Erza taught me how to use a sword properly, even though those lessons involved a lot of pain." He shudders, as he and Ruby rush the Guards, the Guard hold up their arms creating Magic shields, but said shields are cut through like butter, by both blades, Natsu and Ruby then kick the guards through the wall.
"Why aren't you helping, Wendy?" Lucy asks, looking at Wendy to see her looking at the Air Shatter Cannon.
"Lisanna, how do I use this?" Wendy asks.
"To be honest I'm not sure, never used it, I'm more intrigued with the Sealed Flame Blade Natsu's using." Lisanna says.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asks, seeing Lisanna pulling out her own sword.
"I've used that Magic weapon myself and seen plenty of other Sealed Flame Blades, they've all had normal fire, including that one." Lisanna says.
"Maybe it's somehow drawing on Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic, I mean I don't know everything Dragon Slayer Magic is capable of, and it is a blade that uses fire magic, and Natsu uses the fourth strongest type of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic." Wendy says.
"Only fourth strongest type of Fire Dragon." Lisanna says, surprised.
(Well maybe his flames can become stronger, if he can attain the same flames as his father.) Wendy thinks, then her eyes widen, she concentrates and the Air Shatter Cannon splits open with a green glow. "Air Shattered Lashings!" She yells, moving as if she was using a wing attack, and whips of wind actually come from the ends of the split cannon, which slams down on a few of the guards, which then creates a tornado, launching a large group of the guards far away.
"Holy, I've never seen an Air Shatter Cannon do that, and it's not meant to split like that." Lisanna says. (That normally just makes the wind magic inside, go out of control.) She thinks.
"Nice going Wendy!" Natsu and Ruby yell.
"Sealed Flame Whip!" Natsu yells, doing the same as Wendy producing a whip of Crimson flame, cutting through their shields again, and knocking another group of guards back.
"Hey guys, this guy looks like Dragion, but isn't he supposed to be, like, a coward or something, and this girl, doesn't… does she look like Thorn, to anyone else?" One Guard asks.
"Please, don't remind me of that psychopath, she makes Knightwalker seem like a teddy bear." Another says, as they're rushing at Ruby.
"Dragon's Sunder!" Ruby yells, slashing multiple times, producing multiple arcs of Black Flames, which melts the guards armor. "Ooh, that's gonna hurt." She says, wincing, along with everyone watching.
"I think we should take this time to get away." Lucy says, and they all nod, later we see them back in the forest. "So yeah, when this Anima thing happened, Horologium appeared, saying he could feel the warping of space, or something like that, he hid me in a different space. When he let me out, I ran into Jaune, Mystogan and Gajeel. He brought us here, but Mystogan was still hurt, something happened in the portal, and we got separated." She says.
"Ruby, what are you thinking about?" Yang asks, and they all look at her, and notice she's thinking deeply.
"Two things, first is why Lucy is able to still use her Magic, which is simple really she's a Celestial Spirit Wizard, which is a Magic that doesn't play by the same rules as ours, by that I mean her Magic is used through Magic Items, Celestial Spirit Keys, and doesn't come from our world to begin with, I wish mom was here she'd probably be able to explain it better." Ruby say's, sighing at the end.
"No, I think I get what you're trying to say." Wendy, Lucy, and Lisanna say.
"And the second?" Natsu asks.
"It was something those Guards said, when another said I looked like Thorn, they said she's a psychopath, that makes Knightwalker seem like a teddy bear." Ruby says, and they see Lisanna shiver.
"That's a pretty apt description, Edolas's Fairy Tail hates both equally because the two have killed the most members of our guild, but truthfully Ruby Thorn is far worse. Knightwalker is sadistic, yes, but she still kills quickly, Thorn will draw it out and make it as painful as possible, she's a torturer, but what truly makes her worse than Knightwalker, is that she isn't just cruel to her enemies, but her allies as well." Lisanna explains.
"What do you mean, and who is Ruby Thorn?" Lucy asks.
"Ruby thorn is my counterpart, the version of me that exists here." Ruby says.
"And what I mean is Thorn is currently the Captain of 4th Magical Warfare Division, but she wasn't always, only for the last 6 months. Before her was a guy named Sugarboy, and while he hunted us, he was a vacation compared to Knightwalker, let alone Thorn, but as we heard it, one day 6 months ago, he pissed off Thorn and…, she tore him to pieces with that Scythe of hers, and as we hear, most of Edolas is afraid of her, even the other Captains and the king, Knightwalker seems to be the only exception." Lisanna says, shocking the 7 of them.
"It really annoys me, that I can't use my Magic properly, but at least the three of us have a weapon we can channel our Magic into, and Lucy's still able to use her full strength, with her spirits, by the way, when we get back home Lucy, you should ask my mom, if there's anything she can teach you about Celestial Spirit Magic." Ruby says, confusing Lucy.
"Wendy, what were you talking about, when you said Natsu's flames are the fourth strongest of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, I remember his magic being strong." Lisanna says.
"She's not wrong, though I've only recently learned it's fourth, Igneel told me regular Fire Dragon Slayer Magic is the weakest form of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, then you have Purgatory Dragon Slayer Magic, then Hell Flame Dragon Slayer Magic." Natsu says.
"And the last, or should I say first?" Lisanna asks, chuckling.
"That would be mine, Black Flame Dragon Slayer Magic." Ruby says. "But then again mine is unique anyway, since there is only one Black Flame Dragon, my father Fatalis." Ruby says, and hours later they're now in the town of Sycca, a town of stacked buildings, we find Lisanna and Lucy currently taking a shower and talking.
"So Lisanna, do you still like Natsu?" Lucy asks.
"Of course, I never stopped liking or thinking about him, over the past two years. Why, you're not interested in him, are you?" LIsanna asks, flustering Lucy.
"What, no, no, Natsu's like, I don't know, an overprotective brother. Plus I can tell, you're the only girl for him. Since I first joined, I've seen this sadness, hidden in his eyes, but the short time I've seen the two of you interact, that sadness has been gone." Lucy says, making Lisanna smile, but then she frowns.
(Can, can I actually leave him? The last two years were out of my control, but when they save the Guild, can I just let him go?) Lisanna thinks.
(Next Morning
We see Lucy waking up Natsu. "Natsu wake up, Lisanna's gone!" Lucy yells, worried.
"Luce it's fine." Natsu says, taking a note out of his pocket. "She's heading back to Edolas's Fairy Tail." He says.
"But why, wasn't she helping us get to the Capital?" She asks, and Natsu sighs sadly, surprising her.
"Luce, Lisanna is dealing with a heavy decision, she's been posing as their Lisanna, for the last 2 years, to keep them happy, since their Lisanna died. But now that we're here, she knows she has to make a decision, come clean to them and come back with us, when we save our Guild, or keep the charade going and stay here. Either choice is going to be hard on her, and either one needs a lot of thought." He says, surprising her.
"Natsu, when did you get so…" She tries to ask.
"It's a part of being a Dragon Slayer, we can inherently feel what our Mates do, especially when they're in times of distress." He says.
"Then why aren't you with her?" She asks, annoyed, but is shocked when Natsu, literally, growls at her.
"Believe me, Luce, I want to be, but I'm part of the problem, outside of Happy, Cana, Ruby, Wendy, Carla, Yang. Gildarts, Siora, and now you, Liz herself is the only other person who knows she's my Mate. She knows how important she is to me. If I was there with her, it's possible she'd make the decision that'd make me happy, instead of herself, I can't let her do that, this is simply a decision that she needs to make on her own." He says, later we see the 7 of them walking down the street, while Lucy is reading through a book.
"Oh wow." Lucy says.
"What?" Ruby asks.
"I was reading this book, and it says a clan called the Exceed used to live in this area." Lucy says.
"That'd be our people." Carla says, when they hear a commotion and see an airship landing in the town, and they see a bunch of guards headed to it.
"Hurry up, it's gonna start the day after tomorrow, the extraction from the giant Lacrima crystal!" One yells.
"They're talking about the Guild." Ruby says, but she smells something, and she heads around and past the airship, and the others follow, confused.
"Ruby, where are you going?" Lucy asks, as they walk to the outskirts of the town, and Wendy starts hearing something, and after another few minutes, the rest hear it as well, as they see a red magic four-wheeler, with the Fairy Tail symbol. It stops in front of them and they see the door open and Lucy is shocked to see another Natsu.
"So the others weren't kidding, you guys really are lookalikes, Lisanna filled me in, you guys need to get to the Capital, and if they really took your guild, you need to get there fast, and there's no-one better than Natsu the Fireball. Get in." Edolas Natsu says, and Earthland Natsu, Ruby and Wendy look at each other and gulp, and they all get in. "What's wrong with Wendy, Thorn and my lookalikes?" He asks.
"Well, Dragon Slayers all have Motion Sickness, that they develop after hitting a certain threshold of power, curse of them having enhanced senses." Carla explains.
"Heh, sucks for them." He says, chuckling, and after about 20 minutes, they screech to a halt. "Alright this is as far as I can take you, or I won't be able to get back to the guild, now get out. Also, if you plan to fight the kingdom, then go ahead, just leave us out of it, especially Lisanna, we almost lost her 2 years ago, don't need you guys getting her killed." He says, when he's thrown out of the vehicle, and then pulled up by the scruff of his shirt, he looks to see his extremely livid counterpart.
"You know, you're lucky to still have a Lisanna, ours got killed on a mission, 2 years ago, and she still had more courage than your whole guild does, hell your Lisanna has more courage than the rest of you do!" Earthland Natsu yells, as Edolas Natsu stands there trembling, and he's let go, falling to the ground terrified. "Other than Lisanna, you're all a bunch of cowards." He says, walking off, only to see a massive city.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't m-mean to make you so an-angry." Edolas Natsu says cowering in a ball, shocking Lucy.
"It's fine, I've only been a member for a few months, but I've heard our Natsu and Lisanna were very close, so Lisanna is probably a touchy subject for him." Lucy says, still shocked.
"I-I'm sorry, I di-didn't know." Edolas Natsu says, as Lucy helps him up.
"At least he got us here." Ruby says, and Lucy walks over to the cliff they're looking off of, and is shocked seeing the size of the city.
"This is the capital?" Lucy asks.
"Ye-Yeah, are, are you really going to fi-fight the kingdom?" Edolas Natsu asks, and Earthland Natsu looks back.
"We'll do what we have to, to get our Guild back, they've taken something important away from 3 dragons." Earthland Natsu says.
"And you don't take things that a dragon treasures." Yang says, and they find their way down into the city, but none of them see Dragion's confused look.
"Mystogan told me, this place was under the rule of a dictator, but this place is like an amusement park." Lucy says, looking around and seeing all the magic items.
"No wonder they're wanting for magic, these dumbasses just waste it." Yang seethes.
"And he probably turned this town into a pleasure town, to win favor with the citizens." Carla says, they all then notice some kind of commotion.
"What's going on?" Happy asks, as they push through the crowd, and see a group of guards, a giant chunk of Lacrima, and an old man.
"YOUR MAJESTY, LONG LIVE THE KING!" A bunch of people yell.
"Children of Edolas, the Anima has produced a ten year supply of Magic!" The king says.
"It didn't produce anything, It stole it." Happy seethes.
"Sing together, laugh together, we share this joy with the citizens! Each and every citizen of Edolas has the right to share in this magic! The citizens of Edolas are a sacred race that will endure for eternity! No one can take away our magical power! And I pledge here today that we will obtain even more magic than this! We will be so powerful, this will seem like nothing!" The King yells, hitting the Lacrima with his staff, cracking it, and enraging Natsu, Ruby and Wendy, but Ruby and Wendy grab a hold of Natsu, and drag him away, before any of the three can make a scene. Later we find the 7 of them in an apartment.
"What are we going to do!?" Natsu yells, annoyed.
"Well if we don't have a proper plan, we'll never be able to return everyone to normal." Carla says.
"How are we going to turn them back?" Ruby asks, staring out the window.
"The only person who can tell us that is the King." Carla says.
"It's not like he'll tell us, Carla." Wendy says.
"Gemini!" Lucy yells, shooting up.
"What?" Ruby asks.
"Gemini, one of the 12 zodiac celestial spirit keys, if we can get them close enough to touch the King, they can become him, with all his knowledge." Lucy explains.
"But how do we get close enough, he's got many Guards, and it's likely the Commanders of Magical Warfare are here, because of the Anima, and I don't think it'd be smart for you two to get caught by mine or Erza's counterparts, or any of the other commanders really." Ruby says.
"There is a way to get close to the king." Carla says, holding up a piece of paper, showing a sketched map, depicting a hidden tunnel. "Ever since we got here, geographical information has been coming to me, this tunnel was made in case the king was ever in trouble, it leads right into the castle." She explains.
"We do need to be careful though, because Ruby is right, about Knightwalker, Thorn and the other commanders." Natsu says.
(Is Natsu being the voice of reason and caution?!) Lucy thinks, shocked. Later we see them walking through a mineshaft, with Natsu holding a torch.
"Carla, why are you remembering all these things, but Happy and I aren't?" Yang asks.
"I'm not sure, if I'm being honest, I think it's a trap, but it's also the best lead we have." Carla says, as she stops in front of a collapsed entrance. "Here." She says, and Lucy pulls out another gold key.
"Stop, aren't we supposed to be sneaking in, Luce, let's clear it by hand." Natsu says, shocking her again, as they start moving the rocks. "I know, Luce, it's odd seeing me act like this, it's just another thing about being a Dragon Slayer, I have my Mate back, Luce, and I'm gonna make damn sure, I see her again, meaning I can't keep being reckless, especially if Carla thinks her knowledge is a trap." He explains, and she nods, understanding the new behavior. After about 15 minutes they have the tunnel cleared and they continue down it, coming to a large cavern.
"Alright, this just screams ambush." Yang says, and they nod, as they continue, then Natsu, Lucy, Wendy and Ruby are wrapped in some type of slime, and they're surrounded by soldiers.
"Wendy, Ruby!" Carla and Yang yell.
"Natsu, Lucy!" Happy yells.
"Soldiers, why are they in a tunnel like this?!" Lucy asks,
"I was right, that info that was filtering into my head was a trap!" Carla says, livid.
"So these are Earthland Wizards, the two look like the outlaws Natsu Dragion and Lucy Ashley." Edolas Erza says, walking up, shocking them.
(This is Erza Knightwalker, the resemblance is uncanny.) Lucy thinks.
"I'm nothing like that coward, you guys are lucky we're unable to use our Magic here, or I'd burn you to a crisp!" Natsu seethes, shocking the guards with the sheer anger he's showing.
"Heh, definitely not Dragion, and the scared little wallflower there, definitely not Ashley, but these two, you look like the outlaw Wendy." Edolas Erza says, looking at Wendy, then raises a brow looking at Ruby. "This is a shock, you look like Ruby." She says, and freaking out the guards, because she's glaring at all of them.
"My name IS Ruby, Ruby Rose!" Ruby seethes, and Edolas Erza shrugs.
"Take them." Edolas Erza orders, then looks at, Carla, Yang and Happy, then kneels to them, as well as the other guards. "Welcome home Exceeds, we're grateful to you for bringing the invaders to us." She says, later we see Natsu, Wendy and Ruby thrown in a cell.
"You bastards, what'd you do with everyone?!" Natsu yells banging against the door.
"Everyone?" A guy asks, he has messy dark purple hair with a thick white bang, and is holding Hametsu, and behind him are two guards holding the Sealed Flame Blade and Air Shatter Cannon.
"Lucy, Carla, Yang and Happy!" Wendy yells.
"Lucy? Oh, you mean that woman. Yeah, we got no use for her, so she'll probably be disposed of." The guy says.
"If you so much as touch her, I'll burn every single one of you to ashes!" Natsu seethes, but is pulled away from the bars, and they see Ruby, which freaks them out, because of her uncanny resemblance to Thorn, also, for a second they swear they see an image of a black serpentine Dragon behind her.
"What'd you do with Yang, Carla and Happy?" Ruby asks, glaring at them, the guy holding Hametsu, in particular.
"The exceeds, have been taken back to their home, Extalia, now that their duty is done." The guy says, shaking off the fear, but is confused when Ruby chuckles.
"Funny you think that, when the only thing connecting them to Edolas is that it's their origins, but the three were born on Earthland, and I know for a fact that they have no loyalty to Edolas or Extalia." Ruby says, and in a flash of black, Hametsu is back in her hands unsheathed, and in a burst of flames she cuts the cell door in half and kicks it into the guy and guards. "Let's go." She says, Natsu and Wendy nod, grabbing their magical weapon.
[With Yang, Carla and Happy]
We see Yang waking up on a large bed, she looks around and sees their in a very nice bedroom, and sees Carla and Happy. "Carla, Happy, wake the hell up!" Yang yells, startling them awake.
"What was that about, Yang?" Carla asks, annoyed.
"Look around, we're somewhere else, and I can't sense Ruby nearby." Yang says.
"What do you mean by you can't sense?" Happy asks confused.
"Have you ever noticed that you can sense Natsu, when he's nearby?" She asks.
"Actually, yeah, but I could always tell when Lisanna was nearby, before the Anima took her." He says,
"Well I can sense Siora as well, it's called imprinting. It's a deep bond we have with the one, or ones, who found us." She explains, then they hear a noise outside the door, which bursts open revealing a bigger Exceed, who looks like Ichiya.
"You're the ones who completed their duty on Earthland. Yes, a nice perfume!" The Exceed yells.
"Ichiya?!" Happy yells, shocked.
"More Exceeds, we must've been taken to where our eggs came from." Yang says.
"Very astute, I didn't think any of you would know of your race." Another Exceed says, walking in, he's also bigger, but he also has an overly long neck and is black and white, waving his paw incessantly.
"I am Nichiya, Captain of the Extalia Imperial Guard." The Ichiya lookalike says.
"And I'm Nadi, you three performed your duty very well." The black and white one says.
"Duty?" Happy says, confused.
"I know this is sudden, but the queen is waiting, follow me!" Nichiya says, walking out, and the three of them get up.
"Happy, don't listen to a word these guy's say, about our supposed Duty, they don't know a damn thing about us." Yang says, and Carla nods, backing her up.
"Alright." Happy says, and the three follow Nadi and Nichiya, along the way they see a bunch of Exceeds. "A country of cats?" He says, shocked.
"Happy, how many times do we have to say it, all of them and us, are Exceeds." Yang says.
"Yes, and we stand above the Humans and Guide them!" Nadi says, noticing the twitch of anger on Yang and Carla's face. "And this is Extalia, the kingdom of the Exceed." He says, as they walk into a castle. "The Humans are a foolish, inferior race of beings, so we must oversee all they do." He says.
"Besides, they have such awful perfume!" Nichiya says.
"The Queen watches over all that humans do." Nadi says.
"And the queen has the most splendid perfume!" Nichiya gushes, disgusting Yang and Carla.
(He's no different than Ichiya.) Yang thinks.
"But they keep on breeding without permission! So the Queen decides which humans are unnecessary… and they're killed off!?" Nadi says, looking back at them, but is taken aback by sheer rage on Yang and Carla's face.
"Wh-Why would you do that?!" Happy yells, none too happy.
"So as to stabilize the disappearing supply of Magic!" Nadi says, looking forward again.
"The Queen rules not only over the humans of this world, but those of Earthland too! She decides which humans live and die, she has that authority! BECAUSE SHE'S A GODDESS!" Nichiya yells.
"What tripe nonsense!" Yang seethes, and Nichiya and Nadi stop in shock, looking back at her. "You guys don't know a damn thing about Earthland, no Exceed could beat any Earthland Wizard without special magic training. Next thing you'll say, is that we were meant to kill our Dragon Slayers, hehe, the thought alone is laughable. And about that thing about deciding who lives and dies, she sounds like a Dark Mage, I put people like that in the ground. And we're not puppets that you can use, I am Yang Faelar." She says.
"And I'm Carla Marvell." Carla says.
"I'm Happy Dragneel Strauss, and I might not agree with the killing part, but I won't allow this farce to go on." Happy says.
"AND WE ARE FAIRY TAIL WIZARDS!" The Three of them scream.
"Now, I know what Castien meant, when he gave me these." Yang says, remembering Castien handing her something before all this craziness started.
"Something is going to happen today, Exceed, take these, you'll need them at a certain time." Yang remembers, taking out a glass bottle, with red marble sized spheres in it, taking three out
"Carla, Happy." Yang says, throwing one to each, pocketing the bottle and eating the sphere in her hand, and her eyes open in shock, before she smirks, and her body glows, the glow grows in height, and disappears revealing Yang in her transformed human state. "Flame Knight's Infernal Wave!" She chants, throwing an arm out, and a blue Magic Circle appears, releasing a wave of blue flames. "Take those, we need to get back to our Dragon Slayers." She says looking back to them, and they nod, taking the pill, while Yang returns to her Exceed form, and they activate their Aera flying off, though they see on another Island is a massive Lacrima.
"That must be our Guild." Yang says, pointing it out to Carla and Happy.
[Capital]
In a room there's a table with 7 chairs but only 4 have a body in them, at the head is the king, on the opposite end of the table on the right, is a muscular man who looks like a panther, he has red eyes with a scar over one, armor, green pants, metal wristbands and boots, cream cape and a metal helmet. Across from him, with her arms crossed, is a bored and napping Ruby Thorn, to her right is an empty seat, beside that is an old man. "Hughes is late, that's not like him." The king says.
"He better have a fucking good reason for wasting my damn time, or I'm going to kill him!" Thorn seethes, opening her eyes.
"Musht you alwaysh reshort to violensh, Thorn." The old man says.
"Shut it Byro!" Edolas Ruby, yells.
"Lily, can you go and get Hughes?" The king asks, looking at the Panther looking guy.
"Yes, your majesty." Lily says, getting up, when they hear a commotion outside the room.
"Commander Hughes, what happened?!" A feminine voice says.
"Out of the way Faye!" Hughes yells, opening the door and we see the guy, from the cells, scuffed up. Outside the room is a thin and muscular woman who looks like a panther, she has dark purple fur with a black patch on her stomach, round ears, and pale blue eyes, she's wearing a silver chest plate over a blue sleeveless shirt, metal wristbands, boots and helmet, as well as a blue cape. "Your Majesty, the Dragon Slayers escaped, the girl who looks like Thorn somehow summoned her weapon back to her, and cut the door in half, and kicked it into me and the guards!" He yells, but is shocked, as Thorn's Scythe enters his chest.
"Annoying fucking fool, can't do a damn thing right, even when they can't even use fucking Magic." Edolas Ruby growls, ripping the Scythe out, splattering blood all over herself, and leaving.
"Where are you going, thorn?!" The king yells.
"I'm going to the Dungeon, King Faust, they're probably after that bitch friend of theirs, and Knightwalker's, getting her, and she'll likely make the same fucking mistake, the damn waste here made." Edolas Ruby says, leaving the room.
"Lily, inform the guards, high alert!" Faust yells.
"Yes, your majesty." Lily says, leaving. "Come Faye." He says.
"Yes Commander." Faye says, following.
[Ruby, Wendy and Natsu]
"Ruby, how did your weapon get back to you?" Natsu asks.
"Like I said the other day, Hametsu has a handful of enchantments on it, one of them allows it to teleport back to me, it used to be a distance based enchantment, but mom changed it to teleport, with just a thought from me." Ruby says, and they go around a corner to see Edolas Erza holding Lucy over the rails, with her spear.
"Then you've been blessed, I, on the other hand, love to see the despair of others! I'm one of the Fairy Hunters, and just as that implies, I don't know how many fairies I've killed!" Edolas Erza says, grinning.
"You've got Erza's face… and her voice… how can you say that?" Lucy asks, tearing up.
"Have fun in Oblivion." Edolas Erza says, dropping Lucy.
"Lucy!" Natsu yells, enraged, taking out the Sealed Flame Blade, creating the unique crimson saber, and gaining Edolas Erza's attention.
"Natsu!" Lucy yells, happy.
"How!?" Edolas Erza screams, rushing towards them.
"Lucy!" They all hear, and look seeing Yang, Carla and Happy, while Happy grabs Lucy.
"What is this, by the order of YOUR Queen, that woman is to be executed!" Edolas Erza yells.
"Hehe, don't make me Laugh, that so-called Queen, is nothing to us, and she can rot for all I care!" Yang yells, shocking Knightwalker, Yang transforms back to her human form, throwing her hand back. "Flame Knight's Infernal Trebuchet!" She chants, creating a large ball of blue flame, and throwing her hand forward, sending the ball hurtling at Knightwalker, hitting her and knocking her through the castle.
"Yang!?" Ruby says, shocked. "How are you guys, using your Magic?" She asks, and Yang takes out the glass bottle, shaking it,
"Castien gave these to me the other day, before all this madness started, told me I'd need'em at a certain time, took some on Extalia, and now we can use our Magic again." Yang says, tossing each of the Dragon Slayers a pill, and puts the bottle away, each of them eats the pill, and their eyes widen. In a glow, the Air Shatter Cannon disappears, being stored away with Requip, by Wendy.
"Alright, now we can really show these bastards, why you don't mess with Fairy Tail and Earthland!" Wendy yells, lifting off the ground, shocking Natsu and Lucy.
"Since when could you do that, Wendy?" Lucy asks.
"It hasn't been long, Aunt Siora has been helping me figure out how to do it, since it's a pretty common ability, among wind wizards." Wendy explains.
"Yang, pick up Natsu." Ruby says, and Yang nods, returning to Exceed form, and picks up Natsu. "Black Flame Dragon's Flight!" Ruby chants, and a magic circle appears behind her, moving back, fabricating wings made of black flames, and she jumps up, giving the wings a test flap, lifting her up to Wendy.
"Well, isn't that fucking interesting." They hear and are shocked when they see Ruby Thorn.
(So this is Ruby Thorn, despite the different ages, her resemblance to my Ruby is scary.) Wendy thinks.
"So you guys are the Earthland Wizards, and you're my Counterpart who was taken to Earthland." Edolas Ruby says.
"What does that mean?" Lucy and Happy ask, confused.
"Oh, that's simple, little me and myself aren't originally from Earthland and Edolas, I don't know what her world is called, I come from Reammacia." Edolas Ruby says.
"Remnant." Earthland Ruby says.
"Why don't I hear any fucking attachment, when you say that?" Edolas Ruby seethes, glaring.
"What do you expect, I was only three when I was taken to Earthland, I don't really have any attachment to my homeworld, as far as I care Earthland is my home." Earthland Ruby says, and they can see Thorn, literally, shaking in rage.
"Okay I don't really get what's going on, but I don't think she likes what you said, Ruby." Lucy says.
"Who cares, let's go, we can talk about all of this, AFTER we get the guild back and we get home." Natsu says, and they nod, flying away, but once they get over the front of the castle they hear something, they look up and see a bunch of Exceeds.
"Let me handle this." Carla says, glowing, and growing in height, the glow dies down, showing Carla in her human form, she has brown eyes and neck-length, white hair, she's wearing a short-sleeved red dress and black shoes, and like Yang she still has her ears and tail, which she has a red ribbon on. "Wind Knight's Tearing Gale!" She chants, throwing her hand out, and a pale green Magic Circle appears in front of her, and 8 tunnels of wind blast out towards the Exceed, throwing them all around.
"Guy's, they're not the only problem." Lucy says, looking down, and all but Carla look down, seeing a bunch of Guards, plus a very angry Knightwalker and pissed Thorn, Lily and Faye are there too.
"Do two of them look like human sized Exceed?" Ruby asks.
"Ruby, Wendy?" Natsu asks, getting their attention, they see a look in his eyes and nod, as the three of them take a massive breath.
"Black Flame/Sky/Fire Dragon's Roar!" The three of them yell, recreating the Triple Unison Raid, like before, releasing a black hurricane with an orange glow inside, tearing downwards, blasting all the guards, Thorn, Knightwalker, Lily and Faye, across the ground.
"What is going on out here!?" Faust yells looking out a window.
"It seems, the Extalia Royal Guard, is chasing after the Fallen Exceeds, and the Dragon Slayers have started to fight our Guards." says a short girl, whose face resembles a puppy, wearing a yellow dress over a blue bodysuit, running back and forth, and Faust, glares at the whole scene.
"Activate Code ETD!" Faust says, shocking the girl.
"What's all that noise?" Natsu asks.
"We should probably move, Carla get down!" Wendy yells, and Carla nods, transforming back and flying down to the group, who's flying off, but they manage to see all the Extalia Exceed get caught in some kind of bubble.
"Is Edolas rebelling against the Exceed?" Ruby asks, only for the 7 of them to be shocked, when all the Exceed turn into a giant Lacrima, shaped like a cat.
"There are no gods in this world, we humans have suffered under limited magic… while the Exceed boasted of their unlimited Magic! So why… Why cannot we obtain limitless power? The age when humans lived under the thumb of others is over! This is all for humanity's future! To create for us, the benefit of a magical society! Let us stand together my warriors, Commence Code ETD: Exceed Total Destruction! ELIMINATE THE ANGELS!" Faust roars, and everyone who's gotten back up, roars in happiness.
"About fucking time, we put those pompous little fuckers in their place." Edolas Ruby says, but snarls, looking at the retreating Earthland Wizards.
"So this is why the military has been building up…" Lily snarls
"Panther Lily, what do we do?" Faye asks, horrified.
"I don't know." Panther Lily sighs.
"By acquiring the power of the Exceed, we can have magic forever!" Faust bellows
"But your majesty, Extalia will attack us, and they're very powerful." The cute girl says, scared.
"We just have to get the Dragon Slayers back, simple as that, Coco." He says. "Everyone, capture the Dragon Slayers!" He bellows, as the 7 of them are flying away, Ruby looks down, and smiles.
"Guys look down!" Ruby shouts, and they do, and all smile seeing who are no doubt Earthlands Erza and Gray. "Erza, Gray!" She yells, getting their attention, and they fly down to them.
"You guys are alright." Gray says.
"And it seems you've caused quite the commotion." Erza says, annoyed.
"Oh no, the castle's still intact, we haven't gone full Fairy Tail yet, though I've never been all that destructive, compared to what we heard about Natsu and the two of you, but I'll make an exception for these bastards." Ruby says.
"How are you two here anyway?" Natsu asks.
"The piece of Lacrima in the town Square, was made solely of us, Jaune, Gajeel and Mystogan came along. Mystogan had Jaune hit the lacrima with his Iron fist, and we turned back." Gray says.
"Where are they, we need to get them to the Lacrima, that is our Guild!" Yang yells.
"They went off to find it." Erza says.
"They won't find it without us, it's on a floating Island, we saw it when we flew away from Extalia." Carla says.
"Yang, grab ahold of me, we need to find them." Ruby says, and Yang nods.
"Happy, go with them, Wendy, Carla I think you should go to." Natsu says, and they nod, and they start to fly off
"We're not going to let you Earthland Wizards get away!" Edolas Erza yells, getting their attention, and shocking Gray and Earthland Erza.
"What, another Erza!" Gray and a bunch of the guards say.
"Yep, welcome to Edolas, we each have a counterpart, that ball of bloodlust behind Erza's counterpart is mine, Ruby Thorn." Ruby says, spotting Thorn, and feeling her pure bloodlust, but the three of them continue to fly off, Ruby looks back and is shocked to see Thorn, burst into rose petals, and fly at them very fast. "Yang, Happy and Carla, DODGE!" She yells, and they move to the sides, as the petals rush past them, they look and see Thorn reform on a roof and holding her Scythe.
"You're not going to get away from me you little bitch!" Thorn snarls.
"Happy, Carla and Wendy, keep going, Yang, take me out of the city." Ruby says, and they nod, though Wendy nods reluctantly, flying away, and Thorn goes to stop them. "Black Flame Dragon's Iron Fist!" She yells, slamming her inflamed fist in down on Thorn, who blocks with the pole of the scythe, but is slammed through the ceiling. "Yang, now!" She yells, and Yang nods, Thorn gets up and snarls, bursting into petals flying after them, after a few minutes they land outside the city. "Yang, leave, catch up to Wendy, Carla and Happy." She says, shocking Yang.
"What!" Yang says, and Ruby sighs.
"I can tell Thorn is the type to use anything to her advantage, I don't need her using you against me." Ruby says.
"But, but?" Yang says, confused.
"Yang go!" Ruby screams, shocking her, and she nods reluctantly, flying off at top speed, Ruby looks forward in time to see Thorn land and reform a few few dozen feet away from her, and she looks ready to kill.
