AN: Hello everyone I am back with another chapter. I was initially hoping to get this out two weeks ago and to have updated my two Naruto stories as well. Unfortunately though real life, like family, friends, and shit tonnes of work comes first. Normally I am able to balance things much better so I spend two hours a week and two hours every weekend writing, allowing me flexibility to do work, see friends etc. Unfortunately though things this month have been too hectic.
Still I managed to complete this chapter that I had started, even if I have only been able to do around 50% of the other story updates I am working on.
But anyway here is the chapter and I hope you all like it. I always loved this arc because of the potential it held, and often I feel like it could have been done better in canon or more questions could have been answered. With this no doubt being what every person feels when they watch or read another's work, what could have been done better, what could have been done differently, everyone has a different opinion which is what makes it so interesting.
So yeah here is the next chapter I hope you all enjoy it and leave a review at the end.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or Fairy Tail.

(Last Time)
Percy paused as he heard that, looking down at Wendy and meeting her eyes. A part of him wanted to force the answers out of Carla. But looking into Wendy's eyes he knew he couldn't do that, not only would such an action go against everything Fairy Tail stood for, it would also destroy any connection he had to Wendy, and for some reason he truly didn't want that to happen.
"Ok." Percy finally said, nodding his head as he placed his hand on Wendy's shoulder. The blue haired girl sending him a radiant smile as she heard that. "But if the cat shows even the slightest sign of betraying us or fucking us over… I will end her!"
Wendy and the other Fairy Tail wizards all flinched as they heard that, not that any of them admonished him for his harsh words, with some of them even agreeing with him. This was not a game after all, the lives of thousands of people were on the line, including their loved ones. Before any of them could speak again though, they were interrupted by Carla.
"I would expect nothing less. If the tomcat or I show any signs of endangering you or betraying you, then I ask that you do kill us!" Carla spoke her tone firm and uncompromising.
"Carla!" Wendy shouted in shock as she stared at her friend.
"You heard what I said." Carla replied, her tone holding a note of finality in it as she looked up at Wendy.
Percy however just nodded, acknowledging Carla's comment as he did, her statement going somewhat raising his opinion of her. Without another word, Percy then turned around and looked out into the surrounding forest, his sea green eyes narrowed. "Ok, now let's go, we need to get to the Royal City and rescue our Guild!"

Chapter 14
( - )
(With Percy, in Edolas)
Trying to be as quiet as possible as he relentlessly made his way through the dense undergrowth of Edolas, Percy rested his right hand on the golden hilt of his blade, Backbiter, the cautious expression on his face not faltering as he constantly surveyed the alien landscape around him. The Demigod was currently using his control over water to extend his senses through the moisture in the air, allowing him to sense vibrations that could come from movement, or the blood that might be pumping though a person's body.
As sensory abilities went, it wasn't the most comprehensive or the most accurate as he could quite easily mistake animals for humans. But even so Percy was glad he had developed it, after all he didn't know exactly where he was in Edolas, he didn't know the lay of the land, the politics or just who and how many they might be facing. An advance warning of potential nearby hostile was useful.
Following behind the dark haired ace of Fairy Tail, was the rest of his group, those remnants of Fairy Tail that he had been able to gather before heading through the Anima. With the dragon slayer Wendy Marvel and the Celestial Mage Lucy Heartfelia following very closely behind Percy, Wendy's companion Carla and the other flying cat, Happy, trailing just behind the two of them. The two relatively new wizards not being as comfortable with the others at their unfamiliar surroundings, either due to age or experience, or both. Following a little bit behind them were both Gajeel Redfox and Natsu Dragneel, the two other dragon slayers, with Gajeel being an iron dragon slayer and the Natsu a fire dragon slayer.
All in all the group was making good progress as they moved through the dense and untamed undergrowth, with even Gajeel and Natsu having reigned in their squabbling due to the nature of their situation. After all it was not often that you ended up going to a 'parallel world' in the hopes of finding your fellow Guild members, all of who had been turned into a giant magical lacrima... Yeah, even for Fairy Tail that was weird.
"Hey Perseus, do you even know where we are going?" Gajeel suddenly called out, a scowl prominent on his face as he looked around the dense undergrowth, his slitted crimson eyes narrowing suspiciously as he saw just how alien this nature seemed to what he was used to in Earthland.
"No." Percy replied bluntly, not even attempting to bluff or lie. "I mean I've never been here before and have no idea just where the fuck we are. How in the gods name do you think I know where the Royal City is, or just where they are holding our friends!?"
Gajeel stopped moving as he heard that, his expression becoming even angrier as he glared at Percy. "So where the hell are we going than!? If you have no idea where we are going then for all you know we could be going in the complete wrong direction!"
Percy also stopped as he heard this, a scowl crossing his own face. "Yes we might be, however I am not trying to find the Royal City at the moment. No, I am trying to find some people, someone local to the area that we might be able to ask directions from!?"
Gajeel paused as he heard this, the scowl not leaving his face but not instantly retorting as he thought about what the older man had said.
"But if you have a better idea, then please tell us!" Percy continued his temper once again flaring the suddenness of the situation and the loss of Erza beginning to strain even his patience, as he glared over at the other Fairy Tail wizard, the rest of the group caught in the middle of their argument looking around uncomfortably.
Gajeel grunted as he heard that holding back a flinch as he heard the anger in the Ace of Fairy Tail's voice. Once again though he didn't say anything as he instead averted his gaze from Percy's, unable to hold the older man's piercing green eyes for long.
"Ok then, now let's continue on and find someone. I was able to sense a relatively large group of living beings not far away, so hopefully we will soon be able to get some directions and make it to the Royal City!" Percy added, giving Gajeel another hard look before turning around and once again starting forwards, keeping his eyes peeled as he did so for any sign of the group he had sensed. Hoping as he did so that they were in fact people and weren't just a herd of animals or something else useless.
( - )
It was about five minutes later that their patience paid off as they soon came across the first signs of life they had found so far in Edolas. Surprisingly though of the group, it was Happy who was the first one to notice the signs of habitation and alert the others.
"Hey everyone, doesn't that look like a storehouse of some kind?!" The little flying cat spoke up, gesturing off to the side as he did so at a small wooden building that was set into the side of a tree, the door currently open and revealing some fully stocked shelves within.
"Aye, and that looks like it might be a Guild hall, or something like it." Percy added as he moved his gaze from the storehouse Happy pointed out to another nearby building, one which look like it had been made out of a hollowed out tree, complete with a heavy wooden door and quaint windows set into the side. Most notably though was the orange flag that was displayed above the doorway, one which had what looked like a white symbol on it.
Seeing this the group began to approach the treehouse, Percy leading the way as he planned on asking whoever lived here some directions, not really paying attention to much else as he sensed that there were a large number of people inside.
In the end it was Natsu who was the first to recognize just what the symbol on the flag was, the pink haired boy having let his mind wonder as he followed behind Percy, taking his cue from the older and more experienced wizard.
"Hey, you guys!" Natsu shouted as he ran forwards, and eager grin on his face as he gestured up at the stretched flag. "Look at that! It's Fairy Tail!"
"Aye, sir!" Happy chirped up from where he was now flying beside Natsu.
"Eh?" Lucy said as she looked up, before her eyes widened as she too saw the Fairy Tail Guild symbol on the flag.
"Well that was fast." Gajeel spoke up bluntly, "Why are they all living in a tree though?"
"Let's find out." Percy replied as he approached the door, his eyes still narrowed cautiously as he prepared to enter, a part of him already coming to a conclusion on just what this place might be. After all Mystogen had described this as a world that was similar but slightly different, a 'parallel world', and considering Percy had met the Earthland Jellal and the Edolas Jellal he certainly had an inkling of just what this place might be.
Entering the Guild Hall cautiously, the small group soon found themselves faced with a surprising scene, one that they had certainly not been expecting.
"Juvia's going off to work now." A blue hair girl, wearing revealing short shorts and a tank top said loudly as she waved to some of the other people in the Guild. The blue haired girl looking identical to the Juvia Lockser many of the group remembered, even if her attitude and sense of style seemed… different.
"W-wait, Juvia!" Gray Fullbuster, or at least someone who looked like Gray called out in a whiny voice, the teen in question reaching out to grab Juvia, his entire body enshrouded in a ridiculous amount of coats, more than could possibly be comfortably. "I want to come with you..."
"Just looking at you makes me sweat..." Juvia replied as she stepped away from Gray, a disparaging look on her face as she looked down at the clingy boy. "Just how many layers are you wearing?"
"It's so cold though…" Gray replied pitifully, giving the girl a helpless look as she scolded him. His actions raising many questions in the mind of Percy's group, after all the Gray they knew was an Ice Mage, one who had become somewhat infamous for penchant of stripping off his clothes the first chance he got.
"Hn! Well call me again when you're wearing less." Juvia replied with an unladylike grunt as she turned away from Gray, the other teen looking like he was on the verge of tears as he watched her leave.
"What the hell?!" Lucy muttered from where she was standing in the group. Before anyone could speak though they were distracted by another familiar face, this one belonging to Nab, a veteran Fairy Tail mage who had become somewhat well known for barely ever taking jobs. Which was partially why it was so strange and amusing that that same man ran past the group heading for a board at the side of the room, one which was strewn with mission requests.
"Work, work!" Nab said loudly and enthusiastically as he rushed past a group of mages towards the request board.
"Nab, you need to rest once in a while." A nearby mage shouted over to Nab, as he hustled past a new mission request now clutched in his hand.
As this was happening the group could also see a scarred and aggressive looking Jet scowling down at a meek, white haired man, one who had a distinctly nervous expression on his face. "You're pathetic, Elfman, stop crying!"
"Yeah, you screwed up again!?" Droy, another Fairy Tail mage added in, this one looking just as rough at Jet as he narrowed his eyes behind his sunglasses. The two of them acting almost completely different to how they usually did as they both scolded the big and tough Elfman. Something that was ironic as the powerful Elfman was usually the one scolding them for their incompetence.
This Elfman though, instead of shouting back at them, or tackling them down and getting involved in a brawl to prove his manliness, instead lowered his head in shame. Not at all acting like the big, overconfident and loud Elfman they all knew.
"I'm s-sorry..." A pale faced Elfman said tearfully, his head hanging low in shame. "I'm really embarrassed."
"Hey, look." Max, another familiar face for the group shouted out as he pointed the ongoing confrontation out to his friend Warren. "Two of Fairy Tail's strongest are lecturing Elfman… again."
Warren smirked as he saw this before calling out to the pair. "Don't overdo it, you two! You know how sensitive Elfman can be"
"Cana!" A groomed and glasses-wearing Macao called out, the purple haired man being cleanly shaven, his hair neatly arranged and wearing a high quality suit, a great contrast to his usual scruffy appearance. "How about having a drink with us for once?"
"How many times must I tell you?" A well-dressed girl replied with a faint blush, folding her hands in her lap as she looked over at Macou with a shy smile. Revealing herself to be Cana, the drunken, outspoken hellion of Fairy Tail, who at this moment looked more like a high-class lady at court. "I mean you must surely know by now, I don't like alcohol."
Ignoring the exclamations of confusion and shock from those around him, Percy began to rub his temples, letting out a sigh as he should have known something crazy like this was going to happen.
"Hey wait a second…" Someone suddenly called out, there voice loud and carrying, yet also familiar, as it gained the attention of many of the people in the Guild. "What the fuck happened to you guys! And why is there another version of me with you!"
Percy tensed as he heard that, his gaze moving over the assembled members of the Guild, some of whom were just gawking, whilst others seemed to be getting up, a couple of them even drawing weapons cautiously.
Finding the source of the voice, Percy was surprised to find it was Lucy. Not his Lucy though as for one this Lucy was wearing black, tight fitting almost gothic leather clothing, plus she had a scowl on her face that just looked foreign to those who knew the real Lucy.
Before any of them could talk, the other Lucy, the Edo Lucy prowled forwards a dark look on her face as her gaze moved from the studded face of the gruff looking Gajeel, to the confused faces of Natsu, Lucy and Wendy and finally to Percy's stoic expression. "So are you going to answer me? Or am I going to have to make you?! Plus why is there some bitch with you who looks just like me Percy…?"
"She looks just like me!" Lucy echoed back, being the first one in the Earthland group to speak out, the Earthland Lucy in shock at the Edolas Lucy, not at all sure what to think about her identical twins attitude and sense of fashion.
"Yes she does." Percy replied dryly, before he took a step forward, gaining the attention of Edo Lucy and the other members of the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild. "My name is Perseus and I am a member of Fairy Tail."
"Well no shit," The Edo Lucy replied with a suspicious scowl as she heard that, before she could speak again though she found herself silenced as Percy raised a hand. The sheer audacity and unfamiliarity of the action stunning her for a moment, long enough for Percy to continue speaking.
"But not the Fairy Tail of Edolas. As insane as it probably sounds, the others and I are all members of the Fairy Tail Guild in Earthland." Percy continued, surprised as he did so that he saw the looks of comprehension appearing on some of the watching Edolas Guild Member's faces, apparently knowledge that there was a parallel world to Edolas wasn't as unknown as he thought it would be. Plus he hadn't missed the fact that this Edo Lucy had known his name, something which should be impossible considering he came from a different world to Edolas or Earthland.
"Yeah I heard of that place, apparently the King has been trying to mine magic from there." A blue haired girl spoke up as she pushed her way through the crowds, a scowl on her face as she came to stand next to Edo Lucy. The short, petite blue haired girl currently wearing workman's overalls that were stained with grease a gruff expression on her face as she looked over the group. "I also heard that every person here as a counterpart there, someone who is similar but not quite the same…"
"Levy?" Percy question dryly, his lips twitching in amusement as he saw the girl he recognised as Levy, only instead of being a bookworm like the one he knew, this one naturally appeared to be the complete opposite, a gearhead?
"Guessing you know a version of me too?" Levy said bluntly, before she looked over at the group, her gaze fixing on Earthland Lucy. "Hey Lucy Ashely, you know your Earthland counterpart is like a hundred times hotter than you."
"Screw you bitch." Edo Lucy replied, barely even looking at Levy as she instead focused on the Earthland group. "Now, you told us who you apparently are, but not why the hell are you here!? And you better get talking now, you might look like some of us but that doesn't mean you aren't here to cause trouble!"
Percy cocked an eyebrow at that, his gaze shifting around the room as he felt the tension building. "Well, we're here to get directions to the Royal City."
"And why would you want to go there? You're obviously not very smart, no one goes to the Royal City, least not unless their friends or supporters of the King!" Lucy replied, her tone of voice telling Percy that being friends of this King wasn't a good idea.
"Well we are going. Your King used some 'Anima' machine to suck our entire Guild and town over to Edolas, apparently turning them into a giant lacrima as he did so. Which is why I am here, because I am going to find my friends, and then kill every motherfucker who had a hand in this fuckup!" Percy replied, his voice getting more and more heated even as the ground under his feet began to shudder a bit, the air becoming slightly thicker as the Demigod began to lose his temper, his Demigod abilities reacting to his slight lack of composure.
Widening her eyes slightly as she felt the tremors, and the suffocating pressure coming off Percy, Lucy had to stumble back a few steps before she could respond. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Venting…" Percy replied mildly, before he looked around the Guild and took a nearby seat his gaze roving around the Guild Hall curiously. "So are you going to stand their gawking all day or are you going to give us the information we want."
A round of muttering began to run through the building as the Guild Member's watched this, many of them looking to Lucy and Levy for what to do.
"Ermm Perseus…" Earthland Lucy spoke up nervously as she and Wendy hurried after Percy, both Carla and Happy following after them not missing the angry and suspicious looks the flying cats were receiving. With this leaving both Natsu and Gajeel standing in the doorway, Gajeel looking around distinctly uncomfortable with the scrutinizing looks he was receiving. Whilst Natsu was staring agog at a familiar white haired girl, one who had sky blue eyes and pale skin and was wearing a blue dress, a white Fairy Tail Guild mark visible on the left thigh. The girl in question being the spitting image of his old friend, Lisanna Strauss, a girl who had passed away on Earthland over two years ago.
"Don't worry, just sit down." Percy replied with a faint smile as he saw Edo Lucy regain her bearing before she turned around and stormed over to where Percy was now sitting.
"Just who the hell do you think you are to be demanding stuff from us?" Edo Lucy snapped as she glowered down at the other two, recognizing her Earthland counterpart, the Earthland version of Natsu, and even the Earthland version of that annoying reporter Gajeel, even if the man she saw here looked very different. On top of which she vaguely recognised the young blue haired girl as some miniature version of Wendy, Lucy's busty friend and someone who the blonde would be mocking after she cleared this mess up.
"I've already told you." Percy replied impatiently, his fingers beginning to drum the pommel of his sword.
"Yeah I know you're the Earthland counterpart of our Guild Master, I got that much, but what I want to know is why you think you have any right to demand shit from us!?" Edo Lucy replied slamming her foot down on the table as she leaned over and scowled down at Percy.
"That's impossible, I can't have an Edolas counterpart." Percy replied back bluntly.
"Really, because if we all have one, is it really that surprising that you may have one?" Earthland Lucy spoke up as she looked over at Percy, confused by the vehemence of his statement.
"It's a little bit different for me." Percy replied carefully. "But let's just say I was not born on either Earthland or Edolas…"
Both Lucy's, Levy, Wendy, the flying cats and Natsu and Gajeel all frowned in confusion at that. None of them quite getting what Percy meant, after all some of them were still adjusting to the fact that Edolas was a separate world to Earthland.
"And yet here I am…" A calm voice spoke up from deeper within the room, the surrounding mages parting as they saw a middle aged man walking through the crowd. The man having dark hair with grey streaks at the temple and kindly, twinkling sea green eyes that were hidden behind a pair of wire rimmed spectacles. The man looked to be in his forties, with a still fit and strong body. He was wearing a simple white button up shirt, with a grey jumper vest over the top and a pair of smart black trousers and shoes.
Just from looking at him, everyone could see the similarities in appearance the two Percy's had, even if the Edolas Percy looked a lot older than the Earthland one. Standing next to the Edolas Percy, with her hand loop through one of his arms was a very attractive woman, who had soft hazel brown eyes and a gentle smile on her face. The girl looked to be in her late teens, with a very curvaceous body and long silky blue hair that reached down to her waist. Currently that girl was staring at Percy and her younger self in wonder, a faint smile on her lips.
"Wh-what!" Wendy stuttered in confusion as she saw the older Edolas version of herself approaching them with Edo Percy.
"How is this possible?" Percy muttered as he stood up, a genuinely shocked expression on his face, an expression that very few had ever seen there before.
"Most likely magic of course." Edo Percy replied as he unhooked Wendy's arm from his, patting her hand gently and giving her a smile before he walked over so he was standing directly in front of Percy a curious expression on both of their face as they examined each other. "Though I am curious where you were born if you were not born on Earthland?"
Percy narrowed his eyes as he heard that, suspicion beginning to bubble up within him. "You say that like you were born here in Edolas?"
"Well that's because I was" Edo Percy replied with a chuckle as he heard his counterparts suspicion, before with a crooked smile he extended his hand. "The name's Percy, born and raised in Edolas."
Percy narrowed his eyes as he heard that, before begrudgingly taking his counterparts hand, feeling the strong calloused grip as he did so. "I am Perseus, neither born nor raised on Earthland or Edolas, which of course begs the question of how it's possible I have a counterpart here."
Edo Percy didn't look offended as he heard that, instead he smiled, glancing down at the confused looking Wendy beside Percy before looking over at the older Wendy standing just behind him with a smirk. "Well if I had to guess before I would say it is because of magic. If you are a resident of Earthland then it was possible you were brought to that world because I was born here on Edolas, the magic of the universe correcting itself so to speak."
"How old are you?" Percy suddenly asked a frown on his face.
"Well I am forty two of course, and what about you my young friend?" Edo Percy replied, somewhat taken aback by the abrupt question.
Percy quirked an eyebrow as he heard that, "Well let's just say I've been on Earthland a lot longer than you've been alive…"
"Well you've definitely aged well then." Edo Percy replied back cheerfully, though a certain gleam of interest did enter his eyes as he looked carefully at Percy. "Though I suppose that would then mean that your arrival in Earthland meant that the magic of Edolas compensated for your arrival by having a duplicate version of you born here."
"A bit of a leap don't you think?" Percy said dryly, coming to the conclusion that this was just a mortal man, as he lacked the subtle power and presence that Demigods naturally had.
"Maybe, but I used to be one of the scientists who worked on the Anima machine many years ago, back when we were hoping to harvest latent magic from the air in Earthland and bringing it to Edolas, creating a revolving link through which magic could be channel from one world to another. Not causing any real impact or damage, and certainly not absorbing people and buildings." Edo Percy began, before quickly trying to explain himself as he saw a dark look passing across his counterparts face at his admission. Conscious as he did that the other members of his Guild, all of whom already knew of his story and his work were getting a bit antsy, and not wanting a fight to break out as just from looking into his counterparts eyes he knew that these Earthlanders would likely come out the victors. "Well anyway, that unpleasantness aside, my experience makes me a bit more clued in on interdimensional magic than most, certainly enough to be confident in my newest theory."
"You… were a scientist…" Percy asked with a cocked eyebrow, taking in his counterparts glasses and attitude, he was certainly a bit more 'geeky' than he was, and certainly less 'Greeky'…
"Yes, and it is my theory anyway that I only exist in this world because you exist in Earthland. Equivalent exchange so to speak." Edo Percy continued. "The two connected worlds natural balancing themselves, with magic, the power of life, providing the solution."
"But you have no real proof." Percy replied abruptly, seizing on the word 'theory', even if he did realise that they were kind of getting away from the initial point of the conversation.
"Now I wouldn't say that, after all young Wendy beside you proves at least a part of my theory." Edo Percy replied as he looked kindly down at Wendy.
"Huh?" Wendy asked a confused expression on her face.
"Explain just what you mean?" Carla also spoke up, the flying cat ignoring the looks of suspicion and glares she was receiving as she instead glowered up at Edo Percy, disliking him as much as she disliked his Earthland counterpart.
"Do you even know what's happening anymore?" Lucy asked her counterpart as she tried to work out just what the hell the two Percy's were talking about.
"Well duh, you have to be a dumbass not too." Edo Lucy replied back, a bit irritated with her other self for distracting her.
"You're kind of a bitch you know that?" Lucy replied to her counterpart, crossing her arms in front of her with a frown as she heard Edo Lucy's rude response.
"Ha! I've been telling her that for years!" Levy spoke up, a grin on her own face as she slung an arm around Lucy's narrow shoulders.
Rolling his eyes at all the talking around him, Percy ignored it as he instead looked down at Wendy, giving her a comforting smile for a moment before looking at the older Edo Wendy curiously. "And what does Wendy have to do with this?"
Edo Percy cocked an eyebrow at that, absentmindedly pushing his glasses further up his nose. "Well I would have thought it was obvious for Wendy to exist in both worlds then that means that there had to be a version of both of us in both worlds. After all the different counterparts on the two worlds may act differently due to their differing experiences, backgrounds and personality traits, but genetically we are all identical. Their maybe some differences in ages, but from a genetic point of view we are all completely identical."
"I don't follow?" Percy replied in confusion.
Edo Percy rolled his eyes as he heard that. "Well it is simple, you and I are genetically identical, you might have innate magic power or other abilities like the people of Earthland but from a purely biological standpoint we are identical. Wendy is our daughter, meaning that the fact that she exists in both world means that we, her fathers, also exist in both worlds. The strange disparity in her age might have something to do with you being from a different world, or maybe some other variable…. But the fact our daughter exists in both worlds and we do means that you are the Earthland Perseus, whilst I am the Edolas Percy."
Percy continued to stare at Edo Percy after that, his mouth slightly open. This was a reaction the rest of their group seemed to copy as they also tried to comprehend what Edo Percy had just said.
"Percy's my dad?" Earthland Wendy asked, a mixture of hope, fear and uncertainty on her face as she looked up at Percy, uncertain what to say or feel as she saw the look of confusion on his own face.
Percy twitched as he heard that, his face a mask of confusion as he looked down at Wendy meeting her brown eyes with his green, not sure what exactly to think. After all he was pretty confinement that he hadn't knocked up anyone in centuries and certainly not in the last twelve to thirteen years. Immortality was a bitch after all and there was nothing worse than seeing your loved ones die, which is why he was always so careful.
"Well yes… I take it you didn't know that." Edo Percy spoke up a hint of disapproval entering his voice as he looked from the shell-shocked Wendy to the confused Percy, his expression softening slightly as he saw his counterpart's expression. "That or he didn't know himself…?"
Percy opened his mouth to respond, not even sure himself what he was about to say as he saw the expressions of those around him, a myriad of feelings and emotions bubbling up inside of him.
Before he could speak though he was distracted by a member of the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild bursting into the building, a frantic expression on his face as he suddenly screamed out for the entire Guild to hear. "The Fairy Hunter! The Fairy Hunter is coming!"
( - )
AN: So what did you all think? A part of me is expecting a very mixed response, so to assuage some concerns I will reiterate what I said in the main text, the Edo Percy is not a Demigod.
That being said this was always one part of the Edolas Arc that I found so interesting. How did Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel all have Edolas counterparts when in canon they were apparently born four hundred years before the present and transported forwards in time? The only answer could be that the world of Edoals compensated for that change. This was hinted at when it was revealed that when the Edo Lisanna died the Earthland Lisanna was transported over there…
Well I took that idea and thought what Percy's presence would do? If he was in the world of Earthland how would the world of Edolas compensate. After all we know that the four hundred + year old dragon Grandine has a human counterpart who is in her eighties. Which is why I though an Edo Percy made sense, the world of Edolas compensating for Percy's presence by creating a mortal Edo version of Percy, who also happens to be really smart.
As for Percy's connections to Wendy, well that was because I though why is the Edo Wendy the only counterpart that is older there has to be a reason. Of course in the canon it was for a cheap laugh, but I decided that in my story there would be another reason. On top of which I always loved Wendy's character and didn't think she was given enough backstory, same for Gajeel too.
So yeah other than that I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and leave a comment or a review.
Will see you all later, thanks for reading.
