Note to self, if it looks to good to be true it probably is.
Its been half a week since I took that damn log-mill request and I just barely finished the damn thing all because the mans name was Rorick and the quest had the word stead… God Skyrim has ruined my life… "ee-bree?" my cute little partner called out pawing at my head, "its nothing Eevee, just sick of this log mill and glad we finished that damn request so we can finally head over to Magnolia. I'm not really feeling up to walking how about yo-?"
Not even letting me finish my question and that brat just hops into her PokéBall… I'm raising a goddamn cute slacker.
Thinking for a moment and eventually just saying fuck it, I activate my op magic and use the basic blueprint I'd made for a magic motorcycle, it doesn't even run off my mana directly, just siphons the extra directly from my mana gen leaving me in perfect shape the whole ride. I'm a genius.
Taking a moment, I take a close look at the newly created bike. It's a steel blue with a metallic finish giving it a slight glowing effect in the afternoon light I grab the helmet similar to one iron man wears except the visor is more like one from a spartan suit, and attached it to my ear, tapping it twice and activating the cover feature as it expands over my head securing my precious noggin.
As I set off, I began to take in the beautiful plains road. Trees dotting the outer edges of the path, I still cant help but marvel at the sights this world has to offer, I think one of my goals here will be to travel… maybe after the whole evil dragon thing was over…
So once more I'm on the road again, I've got some suspicions on who the client is but I don't want to assume anything quite yet but I really do think its going to be her.
Xxxxxx
Finally, after another three hours of riding his new bike and with his legs being thoroughly sore, Leon had made it to the outskirts of Magnolia where he would begin his hunt for the client. After making his way to the main street where many vendor stalls were set up selling excellent smelling food, he began to start asking the citizens of Magnolia about the damaged request, they all pointed out the only person who could possibly make such a ridiculously large request for such a short time, and pointed him to Fairy Tail.
Looking up at the large building in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little bit excited. I mean, I'm about to have every nerds dream come to life, meeting the characters from a show in real life! God this is incredible!
Breaking me out of my nerd-state, a loud crash sounded out as a white-haired man got launched through the roof along with a large blast of fire, "that's unmanly to attack someone's back Natsuuuu!"
Standing there, slack-jawed, I had forgotten just how… explosive Fairy Tails personality is.
Shrugging to myself as I smiled, "but I guess that's what makes them all so close hmm… now I'm assuming the requester is Miss Scarlet but I'll have to ask inside… a dangerous game indeed.
Walking through the main entryway, I'm greeted by the sight of chaos. Tables were partially thrown through the one wall, a chair was stuck to the ceiling teetering the one leg piercing through the roof slowly wiggling free with every body flung into the wall, a flaming fist was flying right at me ("FIGHT ME!"), there's this really cute white-haired girl at the counter damn… Wait a minute!
The flaming fist was mere inches from my face, my eyes grew to the size of saucers as the ceiling chair thankfully fell hitting the pink-haired dude that was mere moments from obliterating my face… thank Arcturus for small miracles… I really need to make a forcefield or something… noted for later.
Slowly making my way to the counter to the white-haired girl, I wiped the shock off my face and replaced it with a smile, "Hello there miss, any chance you know where the requester for this job is?" sliding the ripped paper over to the girl.
"Hello! Let me just take a look… oh, yup that's Erza's request alright… what one earth does she need that many blades for… oh! Sorry, she's out on a mission right now but she should be back by today or tomorrow." Smiling as she spoke, tucking her hair behind her ear.
Nodding to myself, I had figured that would be the case… wait!
Looking around the room, I tried to tell if a certain blonde had joined the guild yet. Scanning the sea of chaos, I saw her standing in the least destroyed corner of the building in a grandfather clock… really? Well, I think its safe to say that this is around when Lullaby is supposed to happen…
"Is everything alright? You seemed pretty zoned out for a moment there?" she spoke out as she put her hand on my shoulder.
Turning back around to face her I just smile, "Sorry about that, just a strange sense of Deja-vu… I've never been here before but It's like the thought played out the same in my head for some reason…" mentally wiping the sweat off my forehead. While the people here are incredible I cant just go around telling them I'm from a different universe. Maybe after the Edolas incident… it would be more believable after that.
"Ah, anyways my name is Leon, Leon Varos. Its nice to meet you miss…?" I trail off as I wait for her answer, holding my hand out to her.
"Mirajane Strauss, but you can just call me Mira." Smiling at me as she tilted her head to dodge a mug flying into her head and shatter, I swear I could feel the temperature drop. Slowly her head turned towards where the mug came from, her eyes I'm almost certain flashed with malice as she sent a quick glare that promised pain towards a guy I'm pretty sure was Grey as he just threw his pants off.
Tilting her head at me with what I could was clearly a forced polite smile, I just chuckled. "Rambunctious aren't they?" trying to make the conversation switch, as I fight off a nervous laugh.
Leaning her head back, she sighs and looks at me again with an actual smile, "definitely, things at Fairy Tail can get a bit chaotic, but that's part of its charm, everyone knows that after every fight we're all still a family."
Hmm… that's actually a really nice perspective… Family… God I miss mine… its been so long since I've seen them all…
Unnoticed to him, Mira had seen the suddenly melancholic look on the newcomers face, and started to wonder what she had said…
Never mind that I suppose… dwelling on things I cant have wont do any good, and I'm not even going to think about using AOE to make them here… it wouldn't be the same…
Shaking off my sudden depression, I look up at Mira who was giving me a concerned look causing my eyebrows to rise for a moment, "ah-don't worry about it Mira, you mentioning how the guild was like a family had me remembering my own… I gotta go, I'll leave a device here that you can use to page me once Miss Scarlet gets here."
Putting my hand in my pocket, I quickly picture a pair of devices. Nothing fancy mind you just the magic-based equivalent of a pager that she can push to let me know when Erza's here.
Pulling it out of my pocket, I hand it to her and give a quick explanation. Sighing as I trek out… I need to find a place I can relax with Eevee…
Xxxxxx
Stretching my back as I laid down against the large oak tree, I looked down into the stream heading out towards the sea as I rubbed the belly of my furry partner in crime.
"Hey Eevee… why do I feel so horrible… I mean, its been a month since I died and came here…and I-I thought I was over this feeling of leaving my siblings behind… I mean, Arcturus told me how well things end up for them but…" tucking my hands between my legs as I laid my head down on my knees I could feel tears starting to form.
"-But, I cant help but wonder if he was telling the truth? What if he was just lying to make me feel better? What If my death was meaningless? Or if this is all just a long stupid dream… that I'm actually in a coma hooked up to machines and I'm just a burden on my family again? God I'm so frickin stupid-" Before I could continue my downward spiral, a small paw placed itself on my forehead grabbing my attention.
Looking up revealed my face, a couple of tears starting to stream down as I saw my partner giving me a determined look. Tapping my chest, she tapped her own and I understood what she was getting at.
"Yea your family too, like a daughter technically speaking but- what if all of this is fake?! What if all of this is some sort of hellish dream?" cry-screaming out, as tears started to freely flow from my eyes as I attempted to wipe them away.
"EEV-EEBREE!-VEE! Vee-Bree-Veee! Ee-Vee?" (This is no dream! I am very much real just as much as everything around us is! And you aren't alone alright?) stamping her paw as she cried out, I swear it felt like I could hear what she was actually speaking.
Nodding to myself, as I took in what I could from hearing? Her speak, I wiped away the tears as I looked back down at my partner, "your right, though your always right I suppose… Thanks Eevee… you are honestly, the best partner I could've asked for, you know that right?" "E-Bre~" "of course you do how silly of me"
Xxxxxx
My depression had been lifted for the time being and my heart a little bit lighter, Eevee had deigned it her job to keep a watch on me the rest of the day to make sure I was truly feeling better so we decided to get some grub at a nearby restaurant.
What? Just because I can make food out of magic doesn't mean I always want to. Magic usage still burns a few calories and its good to support the local economy.
"Ah excuse me sir! I was wondering if you guys have any fried chicken? Ah! And what kind of drinks do you have?" waving at the approaching waiter as Eevee and I sat in a side booth of a small diner we had come across.
"Yes, the cook here makes a mean fried chicken burger, and for drinks we've got water and several types of juice, is that your order?" "Sounds good to me I suppose, and for my friend here will have…?"
"E-Eev-Vee!" (Just the chicken and some Jelly!) nodding at me as she spoke with a small satisfied grin on her face, "ah yes she'll have some fried chicken as well and some jelly if you have any, oh and a small bowl of water for her as well."
Nodding at him as he gave me a strange look and shuffled towards the kitchen, I couldn't help but smile at my Pokémon. I don't know how it happened, maybe I accidentally used my magic, but for some reason I've started to almost be able to fully understand what she says when she speaks… its cool but also kinda awkward when people stare at me when I talk to her cause it looks like I'm nuts…
It was thankfully a short wait as not many other customers were at the diner, and our food had been served.
As I ate, I couldn't help but let my mind wander. I'm still not certain at this point if its truly a good idea for me to join Fairy tail… I mean it's a good guild with good people and with all the shit that goes down it would be the perfect place to train both my magic and my skills… but, its also a place where a lot of shit goes down…
…enough of the difficult choices for right now, I need some more good ideas for my magic… what are some cool things from video games… Portal gun? Nah while it would be useful I don't see it helping that much, though the Sling Rings from doctor strange wouldn't be a bad idea… putting that down in the list of things to make at some point.
Now what else? Eevee was a miracle made from my mistake, as lucky as it was I don't want to try and make anything sentient like her for quite some time. But I think what I really need right now is a weapon other than the Master sword, it's a good blade if a bit short… only issue is that it needs something evil nearby to showcase its full power… think Leon think, what other games did you play…
That's it! Fire Emblem! They've got a plethora of cool and strong weapons; I could make the Creator sword to use normally and then have the master sword as a secondary for devils! I think its power would probably show when they are near.
Nodding happily, I continued to eat as Eevee had nearly finished her own and the cute glutton would certainly come after mine if I don't finish it soon. Or I wouldve had a strange beeping noise not started to ring nearby.
"What is that… Oh shit!" taking a moment to realise that the ringing was coming from my waist, I grab the small pager and see that it is indeed the cause of the racket and shut it off. "Looks like we can finally complete that request Eevee, lets roll!"
Petting her head, I recall her back into her ball and rush out the door. Only to walk back in a second later to pay my bill and then rush out once more.
"Now… where is the guild from here…?" trying to retrace my steps had only left me confused and had taken a long time to find somewhere familiar as I ended up near where I entered the town.
Sighing when I finally found the path to the guild, I took in the sight of the town properly this time, not like this morning when I was in a rush to find the guild.
Many market stalls dotted the long street into town, even alongside the river wasn't spared as their were even little gambling booths set up alongside it. This place has to be some sort of port town for this many sailors to be gambling here…
Picking up my pace as I realised I still needed to get this disgustingly large order of swords to Erza, I rushed down the road to the guild.
Upon entering the messy building, I found a few nervous and much more bruised people than before. Walking over to Mira at the counter, I wave.
"Hello again Mira, sorry about earlier just some bad memories had come up… anyways! You paged me, Miss Erza is here somewhere?" glancing around, I wonder if the group had already gone to go stop that dark guild… what was it called again? Shoot, I should remember this… Eisenhower? No, I think that was a president… damn this is going to bother me…
Frustrated as I scratch my head, I hear Mira speak, "Its fine, no need to apologize, anyways you just missed her. She rushed off with Natsu, Happy, Lucy and Gray to go on some sort of important mission… though I do worry…" a frown started to form on her face, reminding me fully of the Lullaby mission. They wouldn't need me there but… I need to know if the Master Sword reacts to devils…
Rubbing my eyes as I sigh, "I can go check on them for you, did they say where they were headed?"
"Umm… I think I heard Erza mention the Magnolia Station, if your quick enough the train should still be there!" a small relieved smile started to grow on her face until a confused look took its place.
"But, you don't have to help them, your not part of Fairy Tail and they are pretty strong, potentially the strongest team Fairy Tail will ever have."
Nodding at her with a small grin, "Ah but that's the fun! I've been debating if I should ask to join the guild for quite some time now, I'll just treat this as a trial to enter the guild! I help them, keep them safe if they need it and if everything turns out fine i have some good references to join! Ah, but your right. if I want to catch up I should leave right away!" walking backwards from the bar counter, I gave a toothy grin at her getting a small giggle from her. Definitely another win in my book.
Turning I exit the guild and try and remember where the station is supposed to be, "shit, I remember a good bit of the show but that does fuck all for my geographical sense… Oh! Magic point-me arrow!" withdrawing one of my first creations, I designate the destination as the Magnolia station and begin chasing after the arrow.
Arriving at my destination not to long after, I find that the train had already left… fuck.
Haah… I'm going to have to use a bunch of magic today aren't I? I need a vehicle that can catch up to the train… ooh! What about that motorcycle! Just have to add and edit a few features… Its already powered by ambient magic so it doesn't drain mine, but have it on constant absorb and convert any excess into a sonic blast attack so I can blast obstacles apart… and make it a sleek black with light blue led stripes instead of that boring grey it was previously… perfect.
Waiting for the magic glow to dissipate, I took in my new ride… damn was it a sight to see, the sleekness similar to a Tron-bike but with thinner and more rugged tires for the harsher terrains of the world… all in all, it looked pretty slick.
Mounting the bike, I took off. A little more power than I had expected but that's to be expected, I'm not perfect with my magic yet so slight differences in design and execution are to be expected.
As I speed along the tracks of the train, my mind was abuzz with plans.
Okay if I remember right, Erza, Grey and Lucy forget Natsu on the train when they get to the Onibus station and have to chase after it… quite like I am right now. but that means I have a chance to catch up when they stop. Shoot I never had a chance to make the Creator sword… I should make it once I catch up… and maybe that prototype for Eevee as well… though that might be slightly more difficult and I might need to use my mana-gen.
Breaking out of thought as I could see the train in the distance as it started to leave the station.
Well shit, a little slower than I thought… but as long as I can catch up to the train it wont matter, I just need a moment to make my new weapons.
Seeing the train speeding up and myself fall behind, I pushed some of my own magic from the mana-gen into the bike to get it to speed up some, passing the station I could see three members of Fairy Tail give me a confused and wary look as I passed them, though I could tell they just realised they were a member short.
Shaking my head, as I got closer enough to the train to grab onto the back rail, sending my back into my storage space as I grabbed onto it and pulled myself onto the back train car. Taking a moment to catch my breath, I started to make a rush-job of the Creator sword sacrificing some of the major details in order to have it ready sooner. A quick spell later, I had a not-so-shiny new weapon and I got pulled up the plans for Eevee's prototype power-up.
I had taken the idea from the red and blue manga where an Eevee was experimented on and was able to transform into its gen-1 evolved counterparts and back, while I hadn't the time to give it all of its evolutions I had found a way around the genetic modification team rocket had done by making all of the transformations come from a rather nice-looking white scarf, with a mega-stone lookalike encrusted into the center of it with an opalescent shine.
Entering the back cart, I immediately went flying forward as the train was forcefully stopped, sending me directly into the front wall of the cart and getting knocked out.
Xxxxxx
Groggily, I could feel the train slowing down once more. Slowly sitting up as it came to a stop, I set my nano-bots to repair any damage I took from the impact and sent out Eevee.
Flashing out in a red light, my furry little partner appeared. "Ee-Vee! E-E?" (Good afternoon! Whatcha need?)
Smiling at her, I could feel the bots healing the large bump that had grown on my head. "Hello, Eevee. Sorry to say this isn't a social call, but we're gonna battle right away and I made you something to help you fight." Grinning at her clear excitement to battle, I retrieve the small scarf I had managed to make, and tied it around her neck.
Looking at her, I'd say she would fit right in in the Pokémon mystery dungeon universe. Just needs a winged PokéBall badge for the complete ensemble… maybe something I can make for her another time…
Shaking my head as I saw the sparkle in her eyes, it was clear as day to tell she loved how it complemented her fur, such a prim lady she is.
"EEVEE! EEV-EE!" (HOLY COW! I LOVE IT!) she cried out, dancing around my legs as she admired the scarf in the reflection of a nearby window but pausing as she saw something happening.
"what's out there?" calling out to her, I see a serious look replace her previous excitement. I can safely assume that the Eisen-whatever's were out there… God the name thing is still bothering me.
Nodding at her, I quickly explained that all she needed to do was think of her three main evolutions to transform, after watching her transform between each, I had to admit I truly loved my magic once again.
Formulating my plan of action as I did some recon out the window of the cart and seeing that Fairy Tail had not yet arrived, meant I had some time before whichever one of the weird emo motherfuckers snuck off with lullaby…
Now, how to go about finding which one has it… I cant remember but its either shadow guy or weird white hair guy… maybe its time I break out the good ol' Stealth band? Get up and personal and hide that damnable flute in my inventory… yea that sounds pretty good!
Recalling Eevee once more as my Mana core was starting to get sore after the constant drain of usage and refilling therefore making me choose not to make one for her… not now anyways… and I began sneaking out from the back. Making certain I flipped the band, didn't want a repeat of that damn Vulcan.
Getting closer to the group of dark wizards, and slipping between them from behind. i started to try and pinpoint where shadow-guy or white-hair dude was but having no luck until I made it to the front of the group.
Finding my targets, I slowly check the shadow-dude pockets but don't find anything when I hear the white-haired dude speak.
"Ah the Fairy Tail Fleas have caught up..." I could see a smirk on his face as he chuckled, while I cursed my own luck realising I had been a smidge too late to stealing the flute, now anything I did would be noticeable considering that emo mother-fucker was now sitting on a lamp-post… what the fuck is a lamppost doing in a building? Is that a train station thing I'm not privy to from lack of travel? Seems very strange.
Thanks to my lost focus, I hadn't noticed the large guy behind me get closer, tripping over my concealed form, exposing my existence to all those around me, garnering cries of confusion and shock from the pain in my ass guild surrounding me.
Emo white-haired dude was the first to take notice, "well, well, well… looks like we have another intruder besides the fleas, I wonder who…?" a frown marred his thin face, as he glared at my invisible form.
Thinking quickly, I whispered some instructions to Eevee in her ball, thankful for my forethought into adding that feature, telling her to slip around and do what she needs to do to get my ass out from this soon to be brawl. What, you think because I want into Fairy Tail means I like fighting? Hell no!
Feeling a pulse of understanding come from the ball, I flip my stealth band around while sliding the ball underneath the large gap between the train and tracks, doing my best to keep everyone's attention on me and not the small flash of red light underneath the train.
Thankfully and not so thankfully, I did in fact have their full, undivided attention as they surrounded me, but they definitely didn't notice Eevee.
"Umm…. Hello…? I think I may be lost." Shrugging as I tried to play off my obvious intrusion as an accident giving more time to let Eevee do her thing, I patted the big dude in front of me, "if you don't mind, I think that's my luggage right there, just gotta squeeze on by… this isn't working is it?"
A large meaty hand claimed a heavy grip on my shoulder, yep this is gonna get ugly…
The lone hand was soon joined by several others as the dark wizards started to latch onto me in an attempt to keep me from doing anything else, garnering only a smile on my face.
"And what's so funny? You think your strong enough to get out of this?" the man who first grabbed me snarled out, straining as he put all his force into trying to crush my shoulder making me grunt at the pain.
Smiling as I tried not to laugh, "of course I'm not strong enough! Look at how skinny my arms are! But what I need to break out of here isn't my strength… nope, and if you'd be a dear and give me a moment…"
Not letting them take my words into consideration, I created an item I didn't think I would need unless I had to fight Laxus.
In a flash of light, the hands had all been forced off me as a large dome of black rubber pushed itself into existence, just as it was about to seal to the ground, I shouted, "DO IT NOW EEVEE! GO JOLTEON! USE DISCHARGE!"
Hearing a muffled and cute war-cry through the protective layer, I could hear the zapping noise of her charging her attack. Along with a lot of confused and angry shouts coming from the dark wizards surrounding me.
Grabbing my new sword, I wait a moment after the nearby cries surrounding my barrier fade and I can only hear different types of magic outside, and in a swift motion slashed with the whip sword and cut the rubber to pieces, taking down the nearest enemy as I did.
Nodding to my partner and receiving a chirp in reply, I took in the nearby destruction. Eevee, or rather Jolteon as she was currently still transformed, had taken down half of the guild in her attack. Looking over towards where Fairy Tail was only to see Erza and Lucy by themselves, taking on the remaining half.
Watching for a moment in giddy awe, having finally gotten to see some Fairy Tail fighting going on I managed to forget that I was also part of the battle, and one of the remaining enemies decided that I was a good target. Thankfully I still had an electrifying partner to watch my back.
"JO-JOLTEOOOONNN!" crying out as she charged up a large orb of electricity at the swiftly approaching mage who was wielding… fingernail magic? Gross… it doesn't even look like he's washed them…
Narrowly dodging out of the way thanks again to Jolteon, I barely managed to get out of the way of the razor-sharp fingernails with only part of my shirt getting cut. And not a moment later my would be target for my sword had been blasted away by an electro-ball, "Nice one Jolteon! Now lets get the rest of these Ass-Hats!" crying out as I swung my blade, watching it shoot out and hit an enemy that was about to get a lucky shot on Erza.
The man buckled over, alerting Erza to his presence and to my own, "Thanks, I appreciate the help."
Smiling at her as I slashed towards the final enemy, wrapping him up in the bone blade before swinging him around towards Eevee for the finishing blow as she fries him with a thunder bolt, sending him crashing into the side of the train.
Clapping the dust off my hands, I look back at the two friendly wizards, "hello there, my names Leon. I originally came to deliver on your request miss Scarlet but miss Mirajane told me you rushed out here so I came to offer a hand and make your delivery."
As I finished speaking, a look of understanding adorned Erza's face while a confused but accepting face grew onto Lucy's.
"that's quite fortunate and you may call me Erza. Many thanks again Leon, had you not arrived this task would have been much more difficult undertaking, but unfortunately I cant accept the Swords from you right now, that battle took the last of my magic power so I cant put those blades in my Re:Quip space." Nodding at me with an apologetic glance, she put her fist on her chest, "the moment I have enough magic power recovered I will accept the swords."
Ah shoot, I forgot about that… Erza's out of magic from the magic-mobile? I think that's what its called… magic-car? Magic-jeep?
Shaking my head, I speak, "No worries then, I already told Mira I would help you guys out." Glancing over to the blonde who hadn't yet spoken up, "and your name miss…?"
Smiling at me, "Lucy, my name is Lucy and thanks for coming to help, I was worried I wasn't going to be helpful at all… I'm still pretty new to being a Fairy Tail wizard." She finished, getting rather worried at the end.
Shaking my head again, "that's fine, everyone has to start somewhere, heck even I only started being a wizard a few months ago, though I tend to stick to crafting and construction requests. My magic is more suited to it and that's also why I came to Magnolia, there is a strangely large amount of them over here…"
Cringing as they heard what I said Erza spoke up, "hah, I do apologize for the extra work my guild has caused you Leon, they tend to get rather destructive on their jobs… something a couple of them need punishments for." Mumbling that last bit to herself, I couldn't help but suppress a slight laugh at Lucy's face. I could literally see her shiver in fear.
Seeing as I had gotten distracted once more, and realizing I could actually help out Erza at this moment I feel for my pendant and slowly take it off much to the intrigue of the two wizards before me.
"Here Erza, it's one of my first creations" handing it over to her as she palmed over the metal and crystal tree and looked up at me confused. "Put it on, it's a magic recovery device I made to help me counter the large cost of magic power I use for my magic, its not the best one out there but it should have some mana stored inside to help bolster yours for at least a spell or two."
Or, that's at least how much I can get out of the damn thing…
Watching her put it on, a sudden look of surprise overwhelms her face, "Leon, I must thank you once again, this will be a great help and I'll make sure to return it once we're finished here!"
"No worries Erza, I can always make another easily. Just let me know if something feels off about it, its more attuned to my magic so I'm not certain if that will effect yours at all." Nodding at her as I accept her thanks. Before listening to the large boom in the background.
"While I would love nothing more than to continue talking with two gorgeous ladies, I believe we should probably help out your two companions fight the white-haired dude."
A nod from Erza was all I needed, Lucy had taken off downstairs to where Natsu and Grey went, and Jolteon and I followed Erza up a long staircase opening up to a balcony exposing us to the warm air of the city.
I watched in slight confusion as Erza took out a megaphone from her Re:Quip and started to yell to the crowd below the station, telling them all to leave before the newly dubbed Erigor, apparently that's white-haired dudes name, could use lullaby on them. Oh, and she also scared off the workers… she really does have a reputation doesn't she… Ah, Fairy Tail…
I could hear a loud blast of wind from behind me… okay so Erigor is out here…
"I've always wanted the opportunity to fight the Queen of the Fairies, but unfortunately I don't have time to play." Turning back towards the open air of the city, I could see Erigor holding his hand out towards us as a magic circle finished being made and we were forcibly shoved through the massive wind barrier, sending us hurtling into the ground.
In a moment before I could even stand up, Erza had run up and attempted to punch the barrier sending her flying backwards again, "Erigor! What is this!"
His face donned a smug grin, "We've wasted enough time on you Fairy Tail Fleas, its time that I make my exit, heh!"
Hitting it once more causing her to cry out in pain, I make my way over to check out the barrier when Erza stops me, "stop! It wont do any good, if you touch it your arm will get shredded!"
Nodding at her, "I wont touch it, I just need to see if I can make anything to stop it."
Hmmm…. Now how do I stop wind? Something to block it… nah like Erza said it will just get shredded…
As I stood there thinking, I could hear some steps behind me. turning to face them I saw a distrustful look from Grey and Lucy smiling at me. "Ah, hello there, don't worry Mr. No-shirt, I'm on your side. No need for the looks, though if you want to help destroy this thing your out of luck since it shreds magic and physical attacks."
He calmed down a bit after that but still glared at the giant dome of wind over us, after taking a couple cracks at it with his ice magic, he accepted his defeat in a rage, "Damn them! Erza we need to find a way out of here, they weren't planning on using Lullaby to attack the train station, their goal was the Guild Master conference in Clover Town!"
Hearing that, Erza's steady form flew into an anger as she once more tried attacking the barrier, yet still leading to the same results as before.
"Okay brainstorm, what can stop winds this strong? If we could go under it that would be best but none of us can…" trying to get them to give me some ideas yielded no results as I don't think they understood what I was looking for, when Natsu walked up with Shadow-dude over his shoulder looking injured.
Erza and Lucy rushed over to make sure he wasn't dying from his stab-wound, while Natsu started stretching his shoulder out with a glare growing on his face, readying his fist to attack the barrier.
"Fire Dragons Iron Fist!" shouting out as he flew to fast for anyone to stop his attack, a blast of fire burst upon the barrier holding for a moment until he was sent flying into the ground with a cut up hand.
""Natsu!"" all four of the Fairy Tail members shouted out, Happy being the first to arrive and check on him, only to be waved away as Natsu sat up rubbing his head with his good hand.
Shit we're loosing time! "Does anyone have an idea how to get past this Barrier?! Nothing I make will hold up to the wind without getting launched away and adding to the danger of the barrier. Just start listing them!" frantically I cried out, I know how they get out but I cant be the one to suggest it without it being strange and I don't have the mana needed to dig out of here shit, really starting to regret giving Erza my mana pendant and that mana generator is a fucking mess…
They all started trying to come up with ideas, and after a few minutes of back and forth with nothing clear Happy speaks up, "Ah That's it! I remember what I as supposed to tell you Lucy!" hitting his fist into his palm as he reached into his bag and retrieved a golden key with the Zodiac of Virgo.
Flying over to Lucy as he explained how he came to possess it, and how Virgo wanted her to have it causing Lucy's excitement to cause her to forget the current situation. After a small cough to get her attention she chuckles
"Open, Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" shouting out as she turned the key in her hand, a doorbell sounded off and Virgo appeared confusing both Natsu and Lucy.
"umm… your Virgo? How come you look so different?" tilting her head as she looked at the pink haired maid.
Nodding Virgo responded, "as a Celestial Spirit I am able of changing how my form looks to better support my master. I can change back if you want?" a poof of smoke and a giant terrifying pink-haired woman replaced the small body she had prior.
"Nope, nope the other form is fine! Please change back!" waving her head frantically as her eyes widened, thankfully getting Virgo to change back into her much less terrifying form.
Watching as Lucy got Virgo to dig us an exit point, I looked over to Natsu and watched as he and Happy planned. Walking over to them they freeze their conversation, "Natsu right? how much magic do you have left?"
Puzzled, he waits a moment before answering, "around half…? Heh but its more than enough to kick some serious but!" palming his fist I chuckled. "You eat fire right?" getting a nod in response, I take a look over at my partner who was cleaning off the bits of ash from her attack.
"Jolteon wanna try out Flareon mode? And maybe give a hand to Natsu here?" tilting my head at her, and gaining an annoyed look in response, "Jol-Teon!" (just this once!).
Getting to see it properly this time, a white glow surrounded Jolteon before Eevee emerged from the glow getting everyone's attention in awe of the strange creature before them.
Shaking her mane, she began to glow a bright blue, "Flareeeonnn!" (ooohhh I like this form!)
Checking out her new form, once more surprising the Fairy Tail mages she sent out a stream of flamethrower towards Natsu. Who immediately began sucking back the flames like he had never eaten before.
"Ahhhhh… you make some good fire for a little fox! Heh there's a fire in my belly now!" shouting in excitement as a small trail of fire shoots out of his mouth.
Thankfully he had charged up just as Virgo finished her tunnel, and we all barreled through, ready to follow after Erigor. Though Erza quickly realised that we were two Fairy Tail members short.
"Where did Natsu and Happy go? Don't tell me…" looking up towards the sky, we all followed suit to see Happy and Natsu in the distance flying away. "Damn it Natsu! He's not someone you can face alone! Everyone to the magic-vehicle!"
That's what their called?! Man, that's a horrible name, though I don't suppose mine were any better…
Shaking my head, I popped my bike from my inventory, "you guys can take the Vehicle, my bike can catch up to them faster if I go ahead! Oh, and don't forget Shadow-dude, if he unsealed lullaby he might know how to reseal it!"
Receiving a nod from Erza, "Alright, though I don't know how strong you truly are I entrust both Natsu and Happy's safety to you!" nodding back as I recall Flareon… I should really give her a name instead of just calling her by species…
Realising time was of the essence, I started to blast down the track hoping to catch up to Natsu, mainly to see the fight that was about to ensue, but also in case he needed help.
Xxxxxx
Hello Folks! This story is not dead! Just taking me a long time to motivate myself on this and Terrarian Gamer of DxD mainly because of the sheer diverse roads I could take both, for this one its mainly because of how many different uses the magic has and how much of the story im going to change and potential romances… don't expect much in that regard for now, im still pretty new to writing in general and I don't want to butcher a story by forcing one, but if it somehow works out that way then fine!
Also, leave suggestions on what we should name Leons cute furry companion Eevee! I have a few in mind but nothing great so make sure to leave a review with a suggestion!
