Author's Notes: Today is January 31st, approximately almost 1 month and a half since the release of the fic.
I'm so sorry for the chapter being this late to arrive. I had to rework some ideas or even scrap some, shorten this chapter's lenght by half(I originally planned to adapt the Fairy Tail VS. Phantom Lord up to Master Makarov getting defeated but seeing how big the chapter got by itself...I decided to turn that into another chapter separate from this) and I had a very severe writer's block since chapter 1 was posted.
But anyways...sitting at 6K words and having a pretty big amount of stuff going on in it...I hope you'll find this chapter as enjoyable and satisfactory as I did while writing it.
I do not own Fairy Tail. Everything other than this fic, original events and original characters belong to Weekly Shonen Magazine, Hiro Mashima and A-1 Pictures.
This story is Rated T for a reason and will soon become a Rated M fic.
Without further ado...enjoy!
Soon after beating the living crap out of Team Shadowgear, Natsu returned back to Phantom Lord with Duze and Boxe in toe. The Salamander could care less about those two, as the second he entered through the guild building's front door he left them behind.
The Fire Dragon Slayer didn't say anything as he entered the guild, his quietness already giving him enough presence to make half of his guildmates freeze in fear, as he made his way to a table where a pot with fire inside was laying.
"Man...I've been starving for a fulfilling meal since morning...especially after crushing those Fairy rats..." Natsu muttered to himself as he started munching on the flames, letting out a slight moan of delight as he did so.
His peaceful meal however, was interrupted when some random extra from the guild approached him as if he was best friends with Natsu, this nobody had some nerve.
"Natsu!! I just heard you attacked Fairy Tail, huh!? Uhaha! That's rich! Good job, man!" That guild extra- What was his name again? Eh, not that it matters anyways… -said whole hearterly, even going as far as to grab his arm in a friendly manner. The nerve of the guy!
"I bet their spirits must be pretty crushed by now, right?! It sure serves them right, Natsu! Right, Natsu..." The Phantom Lord extra exclaimed to the Salamander before noticing the fact that said dragon slayer was growling in rage and glared straight into the soul of the extra.
Before that random guild extra could even react however, Natsu got up from the place where he was standing and launched a flame-covered punch straight onto the guy's chin, sending him flying backwards into one of the guild's chubby walls.
The extra tried to weakly get up and face The Salamander but before he could do so…he started to scream as suddenly flames engulfed his body in a fiery crescendo.
Inverted Destinies
A Fairy Tail AU fic
Act 1-2:
Human Laws Don't Apply
Instead of helping him, most of the guild just flat out started laughing, the guy was stupid enough to disturb Salamander while he was eating, right? If he was to die from burning to death, then so be it!
"Why are you all laughing, idiots?! Take this as an example of what happens when anyone disturbs me during my meal?! You're all weaklings, and I won't change my opinion until someone other than Sophie or Master manages to beat me!" Natsu shouted to his fellow Phantom Lord members, not really caring if he insulted his whole guild or not, if they were indeed insulted they weren't even fit to be Phantom Lord material in the first place.
"Who even cares about those Fairy bastards anyways?! If they're as weak as those losers I dealt with, then they are no match for us! Phantom Lord will and always has been the stronger guild! Above Fairy Tail!" Natsu exclaimed with a smirk on his face, he didn't really care if Fairy Tail was full of weaklings either way, he will enjoy stomping on those bugs so much!
"Don't you think you're being a bit too cocky, Natsu-san? Drip, Drop, Drip." A female voice stated, prompting Natsu to turn around and notice three women walking towards him.
The one who spoke was a woman with shoulder-length blue hair, dark blue eyes and a gloomy expression wearing a blue raincoat with a small white teru teru bōzu tied to its end alongside a blue Russian Cossack hat on her head. This was Juvia Lockser, water of Element 4.
The second woman next to her was a curvy and busty woman with long black hair and red eyes with an annoyed look on her face wearing a red shirt covered by a black and purple jacket with her curves accentuated by skin tight black pants, she was also having a hairpin with the Phantom Lord symbol on the left side of her hair. This was Sophie Argenti, The Fallen Angel of Phantom Lord.
And lastly, the third woman had a relatively curvy build, long spiky pink hair, green eyes and a beauty mark located beneath each eye wearing a revealing old japanese-style kimono with red flower symbols located across it and a black belt holding her waist. This was Ikaruga Sakura, The Dancing Sakura Blade.
"Speak of the devil! If it isn't Sophie, Ikaruga and Juvia of Element 4? What is it now, girls?" Natsu asked casually with a smile, acting as if the scene from before didn't happen at all, why would he even care about that anyways.
"Hmph! I told you to keep your temper in check, didn't I, Natsu? You could've easily killed that guy!" Sophie berated her boyfriend the Salamander, much to Natsu's annoyance who instead of apologizing for what he did, he started bickering with her.
"So what if I could've killed that extra?! I don't even know his name and he's a sign that some of our members are nothing but weak-" The Salamander started arguing back in anger towards the Fallen Angel before noticing the fact that his girlfriend was glaring at him, looking even more fearsome than Fairy Tail's Titania or The Magic Council's Ultear with that glare on her. "Oh c'mon babe! I'm sorry for almost killing that guy but he deserved it, you agree with me doing that…riiiight~?"
"Hahahah! Of course I do, my flame! That guy probably was indeed a weakling!" Sophie said in a sing-song yet deeply twisted voice followed by her sadistic laughter.
"But really now, keep yourself for when we have to deal with those accursed Fairy Tail. We don't want to wreck our own guildmates. And of course I forgive you, babe. I always do." The Fallen Angel said afterwards, even though on the inside she would've been ready to rip him in half, but decided to restrain herself and continue with a cheerful act.
"And if you forgive me…won't ya give me anything in return? I mean I do deserve a reward, don't I?" Natsu said with a smirk, causing the Fallen Angel to smile seductively as she approached the dragon slayer's body before hugging him and giving him a deep and passionate kiss that eventually turned into a full on making out session.
The scene caused some perverted members of the guild to laugh at the sight, the Element 4 were mostly unphased by all this while Ikaruga and Sue were just annoyed by the display that became a daily occurence by this point within the guild.
"Really? Again? These two should get a room, I'm pretty sure the guild isn't the best place for…this." Ikaruga muttered under her breath before rolling her eyes. It wasn't the display of affection or love between the two strongest members of Phantom Lord but she wished they wouldn't get so…close in the guild so everyone could see.
Regardless of that, Master Jose of Phantom Lord entered the room with a cough, causing the two kissing lovers to part ways and face the master before they could get any closer to each other than they already were.
"Well, well, well…it looks like the wheels finally started to set in motion. Excellent job as usual I see, Natsu." Master Jose said, causing the already present smirk on the salmon haired mage's face to widen.
"You're way too lenient, master! You think just something so mundane would get them to come here. Well…I left them another present…a pretty gory one at that! Heh!" The Salamander laughed out loud as he thought back to how he crucified Team Shadowgear to that tree. Just thinking about what reaction Fairy Tail must've had when they saw that was so friggin funny!
"My, my…you seem pretty confident about your work, Natsu. But…when they come here…you mustn't kill that person…alright?" Came Master Jose's humorous reply.
"Hahahahaha!! You mean Black Jet Metal, don't cha master?! Sure I won't kill him…but I will still break him beyond recognition! When I'm thinking about beating the sh*t out of that bastard…I'm feeling so fired up!!!" The Salamander laughed darkly as his body was engulfed in flames from the excitement, causing the black hood to burn to a crip and revealing the muscular build beneath it.
"And I'll do the same for that cursed She-Devil. I still want to get back on her for wanting to make you a Fairy Tail member…the nerve of that b*h! Right, babe?" Sophie said in a sensual tone as she approached the salmon haired mage, most likely planning to continue their make out session from earlier. However, the silver haired woman noticed the fact that Natsu's look suddenly became distant. "Babe? Is something wrong?"
"Wha-? N…no, nothing, Sophie…I…I was just thinking I guess…about stuff. About what happened…that day…" Natsu replied as Sophie noticed the fact that his hands curled into fists that started to shake violently.
"Then just stop doing that…thinking doesn't suit you anyways." Sophie said with a smile as she kissed Natsu, with no regards for his thoughts or inner workings.
Meanwhile…Northwest Fiore, Magnolia, Fairy Tail hospital wing.
Lucy Heartfillia was at the time standing on a chair in the hospital room where Jet, Droy and Levy were being treated.
Just seeing how weak and frail Levy looked in her unconscious state made Lucy's stomach turn.
"Jet…Droy…Levy-chan…How could they do something like this…Phantom Lord…" Lucy said in a trembling voice as she did her earnest attempt not to let the tears fall at the sight of her fallen friends.
But…she couldn't control them…especially the memories of when she first befriended Levy some odd few months ago when she joined Fairy Tail…she was so nice to her…
Flashback
"Lu-chan I heard! You're writing your own novel aren't you?" Levy exclaimed happily as she put herself on a seat at the drink bar next to Lucy, leaning over her shoulder to see what the blonde was writing, only for said blonde to bend over in an attempt to hide what she wrote thus far.
"Uwah…so the word got out, didn't it?" Lucy replied in a defeated manner.
"My name is Levy, and I'm 17-years old, just like you! These two are my best friends…Jet and Droy!" The bluette said as she ticked a hand out for Lucy to shake which the blonde reluctantly accepted, not wishing to be rude to the cheerful blonde.
"I'm…horrible at writing…but I love to read! Could I read your novel sometime if you don't mind~ ?" Levy added afterwards in a cheerful manner, though Lucy wasn't ready to budge as of yet.
"It…it's not something I can show to people yet." Came the celestial spirits' mage's reply, much to Levy's disappointment, but she wasn't ready to give up so easily, so she had Jet and Droy chime in with their own thoughts on the matter.
"Hey, showing your writing to someone is as easy as showing your bare butt in public! It's embarrassing at first but it feels so freeing once you do it!" Jet exclaimed with a smirk, though his comment didn't really help matters between the blonde and the bluette.
"Ew…" Lucy muttered in disgust upon just even thinking of showing her butt in public, this wasn't helping her and instead only made her feel even more embarrassed to show her novel than she already was.
"C'mon! You won't get anywhere if you are embarrassed about it. So how about it then…? Show me! Pleaaaase show me! ~not your butt, I mean. " The solid script mage pleaded with puppy eyes, hoping that this last resort strategy would work in her favor
"N…no…i…it's not done yet…" As she said that, Lucy's cheeks flushed red in light embarrassment from all the situation.
"Oh I see…so then! Can I be the first person to read it when it's done?" Levy asked the blonde curiously.
"O…okay." Came the blonde's reply soon after.
"Really? It's a promise then, yay!" Levy said in a singsong voice as her smile widened. Seeing how cheerful accepting to let her read the novel first made Levy cause Lucy to smile and laugh herself from the bluette's cheerfulness.
Flashback End
"Phantom Lord…no…I can't forgive them! No matter their reasoning…they hurt Levy-chan!" Lucy exclaimed with strong emotions as her determination finally gave in and the tears started falling. She won't ever forgive them! They destroyed the guild! They hurt Levy-chan! And who knows what will happen to her guildmates during the fight?!
Northeast Fiore, Oak Town, Phantom Lord Headquarters
The loud sound of wood breaking followed by one of Phantom Lord's members getting thrown into a wall like a ragdoll warned the guild of their rival Fairy Tail arriving, said member who got thrown into a wall was attacked by none other than the Fairies's own dragon slayer…Black Jet Metal Gajeel.
"WE ARE FAIRY TAIL!!!!" Gajeel roared in a feral rage as Master Makarov, Titania and the rest of the Fairy Tail guild stepped into the Phantom Lord guildhall, all wanting revenge for what they did to Levy.
"WHA!!!???" The Phantom Lord exclaimed in a dumbstruck manner but before any of them could even react, Gajeel flew into the air and knocked out like five members down in one hit with his arm transformed into a metal pole
"Anyone will do. Just fucking bring it!!" Gajeel stated in an angry tone, causing a stupor to occur within Phantom Lord's members causing them to charge towards the Fairy Tail members.
"Don't get carried away punk!! Just take them down!!" All the members of the guild who went into a stupor roared and it seemed as if they would really do something but Fairy Tail's legion of mages were stronger.
"NUUOOOOOHHHHH!!!!" Elfman Monster Arm of Fairy Tail shouted in rage as he transformed his normal left arm into a monstrous scaly lizard arm before using it to punch his way through a group of five Phantom Lord members, sending all of them flying into the air.
Meanwhile, Fairy Tail's stripping ice mage Gray Fullbuster made his way through waves of Phantom Lord mages, punching his way through and even freezing many of them on the spot, his only reaction being an angry "Was that all?!!" at the fact that none of these mages seemed anything special, how could they even be the guys that defeated one of their own?
The other Fairy Tail members didn't mess around either, even some of their weaker members like Nab or Alzack were more than enough to defeat between five and ten Phantom mages each.
"GET MASTER MAKAROV!!!!" A group of five or so Phantom Lord members screeched as they charged forward towards the tiny old man master of the Fairy Tail guild Makarov, thinking he would be easy to deal with until suddenly the dwarf of a man started to grow muscular mass and become a giant.
The five members of Phantom who dared to try and attack Master Makarov got stumped beneath the old man's hands and feet as he attacked them in a fury, clearly breaking some of their bones and ribs.
"M-MONSTER!!!" One of the mages that fell victim to Makarov's attacks exclaimed in horror upon realizing the monstrous foe they were trying to fight against.
"You bastards brough the fury of the monster and his children upon themselves when you dared hurting my children!! Don't think for even one moment that human laws still apply to you! Human laws won't apply!!" Makarov roared in a feral fury, causing the mage who called him a monster to burst out crying, pathetic.
"S-such strength!!" One Phantom Lord mage shouted in shock, what kind of monsters did Natsu and Master Jose summoned to fight them?!!
"Their soldiers aren't small fry either…" Another Phantom mage growled beneath his breath as he got up following getting hit by one of Gajeel's attacks.
"THEY'RE INSANE!!!" A third Phantom Lord member looking somewhat like Elvis Presley shouted in terror and fear at what those Fairy Tail monsters could've done to their guild.
"JOSE!! SHOW YOURSELF ALREADY!!!" Master Makarov demanded that the master of Phantom would show himself but as expected from a coward like Jose, he didn't show up, letting his own guild members get defeated for something that bastard caused.
"Where?! Where are Natsu, Fallen Angel and the other members of Element 4?!" Erza Scarlet, Titania herself, demanded in as furious a tone of voice as master Makarov was.
As Erza said that however, she noticed Mirajane Strauss, the She-Devil of Fairy Tail, coming out of the hole they made in Phantom's building and "taking over" into her Satan Soul form before
"Mira?! What are you doing here?!" Erza exclaimed in shock, she didn't know why her childhood friend and former rival would join the fight especially considering the fact that she swore to not use her magic again after that incident.
"What else does it look like I'm doing Erza?! I'll make those Element 4 bastards come out even if they want it or not…!" Mirajane said in a low tone as darkness engulfed her features.
This deeply disturbed Erza…she never saw Mira get that scary or serious before…but that could mean only one thing…
The Phantom Lord guild will be defeated.
Without even caring for the pain or destruction she would inflict upon those who were in her path, the She-Devil ran forwards, sending a group of over twenty Phantom members into the air before launching a wave of dark energy tendrils at her enemies, knocking them backwards all over the place, some getting thrown through walls and windows at how powerful the explosion is.
Mirajane was ready to defeat more Phantom Lord mages until the Element 4 or some of their S-Classes would show up, but she didn't have to wait too long as a female laughter was heard echoing in the room from the ceiling above her.
Mira looked up and her eyes narrowed once she saw Sophie sitting on the wooden part of the guild building's ceiling, smirking at the white-haired mage in a mocking manner.
"Well, well, well…if it isn't the She-Devil of Fairy Tail! I was really hoping you'd come…I really wanted to break that beautiful face of yours…hehe…" The black-haired woman said in a cheerful voice as her expression became twisted.
"The Fallen Angel of Phantom Lord! I've never met you before nor I know what kind of reason you would have to hate me but regardless of that…I'll still take you down!" Mirajane said in a threatening manner as a dark aura engulfed her in preparation for the upcoming fight. "Why don't you just come down here to face me, you coward!?"
"You really don't remember trying to make my Natsu join your puny guild, do you? It doesn't matter, I'll defeat you anyways regardless or whether you remember or not!" Came the reply from the silver-haired mage as she launched herself from the spot she was standing on
"ANGEL MAGIC: FALLEN ANGEL'S MELODY…!!" Sophie exclaimed mid-fall, causing black angelic wings to grow from her back, a white mask with red eyes to cover her face and a black armor to engulf her body.
Her smirk grew bigger from behind the mask as she slowly fell towards the ground…she landed on her legs and used her punch to hit the ground beneath her, causing ripples to produce and create some kind of earthquake in the building.
Mirajane readied herself for any upcoming hit but failed to notice the fact that Sophie's magic-made earthquake was targeting her, and
Before the She-Devil could even manage to get up, however, Sophie appeared in front of her at insane speeds before hitting her knee straight into Mirajane's jaw, breaking her nose in the process as blood trickled down the white haired mage's face.
Mira cleaned the blood off of her face caused by the hit and ran towards where Sophie was seemingly located.
The She-Devil jumped forwards in an attempt to attack the Fallen Angel just for her eyes to widen in shock as her hand went straight through Sophie's body, causing her image to fizzle out as if it was nothing more but an illusion.
"An after-image?!" Mirajane exclaimed as she noticed far too late that what she was trying to hit was nothing else but an afterimage as the real Sophie suddenly appeared before her, ready to kick her point blank in the jaw but luckily…
Mirajane caught her kick mid-air before Sophie could even get the chance to hit her once again, and pushed onto the Fallen Angel's leg with such strength that the leg's bone could be heard cracking and Sophie barely was able to hold from screaming in pain.
The black-haired woman thought quickly and instead of crying out or letting herself be defeated like a weakling, she punched Mirajane in the stomach causing her to let out a cough from the sudden hit and letting go of Sophie's probably broken leg.
Before she could even recover, Mirajane got met with a barrage of punches, kicks and headbutts,
The She-Devil didn't care about all of the damage that Sophie inflicted upon her and instead decided to pay her back with the same coin, and got a hold of Sophie's hair and pulled the Fallen Angel towards her.
As soon as Sophie was close enough to her, Mirajane started her assault, firstly kicking her in the stomach like Sophie did to her a moment ago, then punching her in the jaw repeatedly followed by some more attacks to her upper and lower body. The attacks were so strong that Sophie's white mask broke in half and pieces of her armor just fell
"You bitch!! Let go of me, you weakling!" Sophie roared through coughs and ragged breathing caused by Mira's ruthless attacks
"I'm the weakling here, huh? I think you didn't notice the fact that I have the upper hand here." Mirajane stated coldly before starting to kick and punch her in the stomach area specifically multiple times, so hard that Sophie started coughing blood from her mouth.
"Crap! This woman is crazy! S…she'll kill me if this goes for long…! H…how the fuck is one of these Fairy weaklings so strong?!" Sophie thought as she felt the pain from being hit catch up to her and in an act of fight or flight instinct…the Fallen Angel of Phantom Lord chose the latter and used the black angel wings on her back to fly away from Mirajane.
But before she got even a few meters away from the She-Devil, Mirajane caught up to her and punched her in the back, causing her to suddenly stop her flight and fall face-first into the guild's floor.
Sophie attempted to fly upwards and attack the She-Devil from above using a wave of red energy attacks to assault Mirajane.
But…
"Oh no, you don't! SATAN SOUL SPELL: EVIL EXPLOSION!!" Mirajane shouted the name of her spell out loud as she put her hands together and focused for a moment right as Sophie's own light spears were about to hit her.
Sophie could not even react in time to dodge as a giant ball of purple energy was shot out of Mira's hands, hitting her full-on.
The impact of the explosion was so powerful that it blew up half of the Phantom Lord guild building and sent Sophie flying backwards into a wall…her face full of blood and bruises and multiple bones fractured.
"Give up, already. You're down. I'm not going to attack anyone who is down or defeated. I'm not like you, we Fairy Tail mages don't kill…something you Phantom Lord seem to understand. Killing is wrong. No matter what reason you have…killing is not the…agh!!" Mirajane started saying to the seemingly defeated Sophie who suddenly got up, grabbed a bunch of debris and sand in her hands and threw her straight into Mira's eyes, blinding her.
"Enough of the speech already! Like I goddamn care about your stance on killing! JUST DIE ALREADY!!!" The black-haired woman shouted in an insane frenzy as she launched energy blasts and spears after energy blasts and spears after energy blasts and spears after once again energy blasts and spears…
Mirajane, however, even after getting her vision blinded by Sophie's attack from earlier, managed to dodge all of the hits and in a split second, she was right in front of Sophie.
Before said black-haired mage could even react to what was going on, Mirajane gave her a punch to the face, sending her flying backwards into a wall, creating a hole in it.
"Have you got enough…?" The She-Devil asked Phantom Lord's fallen angel with a glare but instead of her giving up like Mira would've thought she would do….
Sophie suddenly started laughing.
"Really? You think you've defeated me…look behind you, bitch!" Sophie exclaimed as before Mirajane could even notice that the fallen mage in front of her was an illusion, the Fallen Angel came from behind her and in one swift move, hit her behind the back so hard that Mira was knocked out.
"N…no…w…way…." Mirajane muttered before stumbling forwards and falling down, defeated.
Soon after that occured, Sophie walked away with a satisfied smirk but before she could go too far away from the scene, a sudden hotness was felt in her leg and as Sophie looked down…
…only to see blood spraying out of her thigh with a sword sticking out of it. The black-haired mage let out a pained groan and looked behind her, only to see Erza Scarlet, fucking Titania herself, being the one who stabbed her.
Sophie prepared to jump backwards and use her black wings on Erza, but before she could even do that, Titania applied force onto th3 sword stabbing her leg…
Causing her to scramble and stumble onto the floor, holding her left thigh in severe pain.
"Nobody messes with my family…and no one messes especially with Mira either…" Titania said stoically as the Fallen Angel let out a groan before falling to the ground, defeated.
"Aren't you going to kill me now that you've gone so far…?" Sophie muttered to Titania who looked at her with a disgusted look on her face.
"I don't know who you're taking us for. In comparison to you, Phantom Lord, Fairy Tail has morals and standards. And we won't kill. No matter who the person is…murder is not the solution." The scarlet haired Fairy Tail mage said bluntly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world before turning away and leaving Sophie unconscious on the floor.
Erza grabbed Mirajane from under her shoulders and put the She-Devil on her back, carrying her to somewhere safer.
Erza's attempt came to a halt once she heard Master Makarov calling her name.
"Erza!! I'm putting you in charge here. Take care of Mira and everyone else." Master Makarov stated following Titania's victory over The Fallen Angel, grabbing the scarlet haired woman's attention. "Jose is probably on the top floor. I'm gonna rip him a new one."
"Take care." Erza stated to her master as the old man started walking off towards the second floor of Phantom Lord's guild building where Master Jose was probably hidden.
"NOW'S MY CHANCE! MAKAAAAAAAROOOOOOOOV!!!" Natsu roared while laughing as he charged towards Fairy Tail's Master Makarov with two flaming fists, ready to defeat the old man fast and quick.
Upon hearing that, some of Fairy Tail's members, mostly the weaker ones like Warren, Nab, Max and Laki ganged up onto Natsu in an attempt to stop him.
BAD MOVE.
As soon as that happened, the Salamander couldn't even get himself to care whether he would hurt his own guildmates or not as he ran forwards and let out a fire dragon's roar from his mouth followed by punches and kicks engulfed in fire, some even hitting his own guildmates to which Natsu didn't even react.
"Nab!! Warren!! Guys!!" One of Fairy Tail's members Wakaba exclaimed in shock from next to Erza Scarlet herself whose eyes narrowed once she saw what was happening.
"What even is with that guy?! He even attacked his own comrades!?" Erza exclaimed as a thick mark appeared on her forehead…she couldn't even understand how someone could be so cold to even their own comrade.
"Come and get me, weaklings!! Is there really no one strong enough to defeat me, the Fire Dragon Slayer of Phantom Lord, Natsu-sama?! Hah?!!" Natsu exclaimed in a mocking manner, being kinda disappointed at the fact that no one was strong enough to even put up a bit of resistance, eh, that was it then…he will defeat their Master Makarov in one hit, finish the job and put those Fairy punks into place for ever thinking they were better than Phantom Lord.
But before the Salamander could even proceed to charge towards Fairy Tail's master once again, he heard a loud voice and when he looked behind him, he saw…
"MAN!!!" Monster Arm Elfman was heard shouting as suddenly he prepared to punch the fire dragon slayer square in the face but Natsu merely dodged beneath the punch and started preparing to kick Elfman before he could get another chance at attacking him but…
"UOOOOOHHH!! NOT A CHANCE!!! MAN!! MAN!! MAN!! A MAN IS A MAN EVEN IF THEY'RE SCUM!! SO FACE ME LIKE A MAN INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SNEAK UP ON OUR MASTER!!" Elfman shouted in rage as he somehow realized what the Salamander was trying to do and as the kick was meters away from hitting him, the white haired mage managed to intercept the kick mid-hit and stopped it from hitting solely using his "taken over" monster arm.
Natsu's eyes widened in shock that someone out of these Fairy bastards was strong enough to deflect a hit from him. Well, things are starting to get interesting…
And the salmon haired mage found himself smirking when she thought that while these Fairy Tail idiots were fighting them…one of their members, Lucy Heartfillia, was getting captured by Element 4.
Meanwhile back in Magnolia with Lucy…
Soon afterward she visited Levy in the hospital, Lucy could be seen walking on the streets of Magnolia, a bit letdown when she got to the guild and only found little Romeo there. She was a bit pissed that everyone in Fairy Tail went on ahead without her.
She would've expected that from Natsu, but not from Master Makarov or Mira. Though granted, they were all pretty enraged at what happened so…she understood why they may have forgotten her behind.
Anyways, regardless of that, while she was walking about in Magnolia, presumably towards her apartment, it suddenly started raining…despite it being relatively sunny and warm outside.
"H-huh?! Y…you gotta be kidding me! R…rain during such a sunny day!?" Lucy exclaimed in shock, she was probably far from her apartment and didn't get an umbrella with her…Lucy would get soaked wet until she would even get there.
However, Lucy's attention was brought away from the rain and towards a mysterious person muttering "Steadily and silently" who was walking towards her.
As said person got closer, however, it was revealed that the person was no one else but Juvia of Water from Element 4.
"Yes…Juvia brings rain…steadily and silently…" The bluette stated with a straight face, causing Lucy to look at her in confusion.
"Erm…sorry but…who are you?" The blonde asked the other woman, but instead of getting her answer, she was met with:
"What do you bring?" Juvia asked the celestial mage before walking away with "I had my fun, farewell now. Steadily and silently…" confusing Lucy's mind beyond relief.
"EH?!! WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!!" Lucy found herself shouting as she stood there, dumbfounded as she tried to process what just happened.
"Non, non, non. Non, non, non. Non, non, non, non, non, non, non!" A creepy voice started being heard from who knows where, grabbing the attention of both Lucy and Juvia as something came out of the ground. Something that was the source of that voice.
And said something was a lanky and tall creepy man with a bizarrely shaped head, spiky green hair, curly mustache and black eyes wearing a monocle and brown-colored business suit. This was Sol the Earth of Element 4.
"That now was my 3-3-7 Non routine. Juvia-sama, you know that we can't just walk away from our mission like that!" Sol started with a smirk towards the blue-haired woman.
"Gah! A…another weirdo?!" Lucy exclaimed as her eyes got comically big.
"My monocle is whispering to me that this mademoiselle over there is none other than our sible..." Sol stated with a creepy tone as he appeared before Lucy.
"Oh my…so she's the one?" Juvia asked, making Sol nod and Lucy let out a confused "Huh?"
"Pardon my manners, I Am Sol. You may call me Monsieur Sol." Sol exclaimed gleefully as he bowed and slapped his chest respectfully to the young woman. "We've come from the great Phantom Lord to welcome you!"
"Juvia is a member of the Element 4, who brings the rain." Juvia stated, presenting herself to the blonde.
Upon hearing the fact that they were from Phantom Lord, Lucy's eyes widened in shock.
"Phantom…!?! Y-You are the ones who attacked Levy-chan!!" Lucy exclaimed as her shock turned into anger and she readied to grab her celestial spirit keys to fight the attackers but…suddenly…!
A giant bubble of water suddenly engulfed Lucy before she could even react, courtesy of Juvia who managed to foresee her preparing to attack and encaged her before she could do anything of that sort.
"B-Bwaaahhh!! W-What is this?!!" Lucy shouted as she struggled to get free of the water bubble only for it to trap her back in.
"Juvia's water lock cannot be broken, so don't even try." The blue-haired mage said in a cold voice as Lucy's consciousness slowly started to dim before…she fell unconscious.
"Mmmmmm!!! Tres bien!!" Sol exclaimed towards his teammate in glee.
"Do not worry…Juvia won't kill you." Juvia stated towards the unconscious blonde encased in water. "For it is Juvia's duty to bring you back, Lucy Heartfillia-sama."
"Mmmmmm!!! Victoire!!!" Sol exclaimed in a sing-song voice once again.
"Capture complete." Juvia stated in a tone devoid of emotion.
To be continued...
For those wondering or those somehow not being FT fans despite reading this fic...Sophie is not an actual Fairy Tail character, she's an original character that will be Natsu's love interest up until the end of the fic's first Act. She has angel-related magic that is either take-over magic or a new original type of spell.
I added Ikaruga and the other 3 bounty hunters that appear during the Tower of Heaven arc be part of Phantom Lord juat for funsies.
I had help with some ideas from Shinobi360 and Lelouch Kaname. Thank them for getting me through the writer's block.
For those reading this and still waiting for my other fics to update...you won't wait for too long.
I'll start writing Chapter 2 of The Omnitrix of Rebellion very soon and I Shinobi360 are working together on Lost Souls Chapter 2. So head's up for that.
I also launched a new fic, an Umineko X JJK crossover called Curses Deep-Rooted in the Golden Land, please check that out if you're interested.
Other than that...next chapter of this fic will come out soon(like wait another 2 weeks-1 month at most), through I don't know whether the next chapter will be Chapter 3 continuing on from this or a flashback chapter showing how Natsu joined Phantom Lord.
I dunno, would any of you be down for flashback chapters showing Natsu's early years in Phantom Lord before this fic?
As always, please favorite, follow or review this fic! It really helps!
Until next time...I was MiniTennyson, grab a smoothie, see ya and have a good time.
MiniTennyson...
Out.
