CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE: HERE COMES KEMOKEMO

Fairy Tail...

The Fairy Tail members were going about their day when the guild doors opened, revealing a Council messenger.

"A frog?"

"A dinosaur?"

The guild soon gathered. "Master Makarov, I have come from the Council with a message." The messenger said.

"Hey! Did somebody cause trouble again?" Makarov asked.

"No, that's not it. Among the seven guild teams that put up a good fight in the Grand Magic Games, we've created an exchange student system, wherein participants can broaden their knowledge of other guilds." The messenger explained.

"Exchange students..." Makarov repeated.

"Five members can participate." The messenger holds up five fingers.

"Gramps, I'll go!" Natsu pointed to himself. "Me, me! It's perfect! I can ask around about Kemokemo!"

"Natsu, you don't know what an exchange student is, do you?" Lucy asked.

"I'm goin' for sure! You too, right, Happy?" Natsu questioned.

"Aye!"

Lucy raised her hand. "Then maybe I'll go, too. I'd worry if Natsu went off alone."

Gray tried to sneak away but Erza grabbed him. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"Um, I thought I'd go out on a job or something..." Gray answered.

"We're exchange students now. Follow me." Erza said.

"Why?! It's gonna be a pain in the ass!" Gray complained.

Erza was looking at Kemokemo. "At any rate, he sure is cute."

"That ain't an answer!" Gray shouted.

"All right! Let's go, Happy and Kemokemo!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Aye, sir!"

Natsu, Happy, and Kemokemo soon took off.


Twilight Phoenix...

After visiting Quatro Cerberus, the Fairy Tail members entered the Twilight Phoenix guild hall. "Nee-chan!" Ezekiel called out, getting Erza's attention as she saw her brother rushing down the steps from the second floor. "I'm glad you guys are here. Atlas can really use your help."

The Fairy Tail Mages soon joined Ezekiel as they saw Atlas at a table, his head resting on a book. "Atlas, the Fairy Tail members are here to lend you a hand." Ezekiel informed as he got no response. "Atlas!"

Nero walked over, slamming the books he had collected on the table, causing Atlas to jolt up in alarm. "Huh? What?"

"I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you look like crap." Gray commented.

Atlas groaned as he ran a hand down his face. "I feel like it, too..." He agreed.

"A few days ago, a client came to Atlas with a concerning request. The client wants him to locate some god that's been wandering around." Ezekiel explained.

"A god? Aren't they extinct?" Lucy asked.

"Apparently not. Akame and Zack went over to Sabertooth for any information, but they have yet to return. Atlas has been pulling all-nighters since he got this request, so having you guys lend a hand will make things easier for him." Ezekiel responded.

Lucy grabbed one of the books, sitting down next to Atlas as she began to read. Natsu sits across from Atlas, holding onto Kemokemo. Atlas glances up, his eyes meeting Kemokemo's.

"Natsu, exactly what is that thing?" Atlas questioned.

"It's Kemokemo! Know anything about him?" Natsu asked.

"...No. But I'm sensing some weird energy coming off of him." Atlas answered. "May I?"

Natsu nods and holds Kemokemo up to him. Atlas places his hand on Kemokemo. As soon as he did, Kemokemo spits out fire from his mouth in retaliation, causing an explosion and getting the attention from the members down below.

When the smoke cleared, Atlas was covered in charcoal and most of the books were burned to ash.

"Nee-chan..." Ezekiel mumbled.

"You don't have to say it, Zeke. We'll move on to the next one." Erza sighed.


Sabertooth...

Sting rushed out of the Sabertooth guild hall. "Natsu-san!" He shouted.

"Hi, Sting! How have you been?" Natsu questioned before Sting grabbed ahold of his arm.

"Hurry up! The exchange program is canceled!" Sting informed, shocking Natsu.

The Fairy Tail wizards soon joined Sting, Rogue, Akame, Zack, their Exceeds on top of a watchtower.

"That's..." Sting pointed to an island.

"...an island, right?" Natsu asked.

"What about the island?" Gray questioned.

"It suddenly appeared from the sea several days ago." Sting replied.

"An island suddenly appears from the ocean? Is that even possible?" Lucy asked.

Rogue turned around. "It's true. We think the island appeared because of the recent occurrence where the ground shook." He explained.

"It's not a volcano, and it's got a real forest. It's some weird island." Lector added.

"Fro thinks so, too."

"I wonder if it has any connection to what Atlas was working on." Akame commented while Zack hummed in agreement.

"It's got structures, doesn't it?" Natsu asked.

"You've got good eyes." Lucy said.

"So the Council contacted us." Sting stated.

"We want you to explore the island."

Everyone turned, seeing Lahar with two Rune Knights at his side as Wendy and Carla were with him.

"Sabertooth, Twilight Phoenix, and Fairy Tail, working together." Lahar continued.

"What are you guys doing here?" Natsu asked Wendy and Carla.

"Um, how can I put it?" Wendy questioned.

"Master asked us to come. You've been causing trouble all over the kingdom, so he told us to keep an eye on you." Carla explained.

"Lahar-san happened to be at the guild just then, so he took us with him." Wendy added.

"If you want us to investigate the place, it would help if you told us everything you know about it." Erza said.

"This is the ruling of the Council: 'That island is dangerous.'" Lahar stated.

"Dangerous?" Natsu quoted as him and Lucy looked back at the island. "Hey, Kemokemo?"

Kemokemo was staring at the island.

"That very important thing... When I try to recall it, a fog rolls in through my brain. I have the feeling I'm supposed to be doing something, but I don't know what it is."


A/N: Yes, I used the same plot as I did in God Pegasus. And I'm most likely going to use it for Black Sun.

I couldn't think of anything else, okay?

Thanks for reading!
