(Last Time)

"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!"

Chapter 15

(In the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild Hall)

The moment those words were spoken, the entire of the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild Hall descended into chaos. Almost immediately a number of the members leapt into action, with some of them starting to shout, rattling off orders and instructions for everyone to get in the Guild, or to prepare themselves for 'Transportation'. Still others went for their weapons, bringing out an array of different magical weaponry, including swords, cudgels, guns and many other items, which they held in shaky hands. Despite the panic though, there was still, upon closer inspection at least some semblance of order to the madness.

In the midst of all this commotion was the group of mages from Earthland, Percy, Lucy, Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Carla and Happy, all of them looking around at the ensuing chaos in shock. After all none of them knew who this 'Fairy Hunter' was, or why they seemed to incite such a reaction. Though going by the name and the panic they seemed to inspire, they could at least deduce that the hunter's presence was not good.

As all this was happening, Perseus noted that his Edolas counterpart had also leapt into action. The older looking man having turned away from the Earthland group the moment the warning had been given. The old looking Percy immediately beginning to issue orders to Edo Levy. His tone strong and full of authority as he ordered her to activate the Guild's 'magical transportation system', before he then turned to Edo Lucy and told her to do a role call and make sure everyone was accounted for.

Which was probably a good thing, because at first the two girls had panicked like the rest of the Guild, with the two of them having let the pressure of the situation get to them as they snapped at each other, butting heads and arguing as oppose to doing anything constructive. A complete contrast to the close relationship that the Lucy and Levy that Perseus knew had, though considering this was a parallel world maybe that wasn't a surprise.

But still, after a few swift orders from Edo Percy they had fallen in line, with the loud mouth Lucy shouting out orders to some of the assembled Guild Members, getting them into some kind of order, whilst Levy had run for a complicated looking machine to one side of the room. The girl's nimble fingers dancing over the control pad as she began to activate it.

With that done the Edo Percy had then begun calling for order, the other Guild Members quickly falling in line as he took control. His daughter Wendy also pulling her weight as she had gone for an open window, a telescope in hand, as she had taken up the roll of spotter. Keeping her father updated of the position of this 'Fairy Hunter'.

Soon enough the Guild had gone from what at first looked like a chaotic mess, to a well-run machine in a matter of a few minutes as everyone started to pull their weight.

As all this was happening Perseus and his group were stood stationary in the centre of the Guild, none of them really sure as to what was happening or what they should be doing.

Or at least that was what most of them were doing. Wendy however was not too concerned about the ongoing commotion, as she instead just stared up at Perseus, not really sure just what or how she should be feeling at the moment.

Instead all she could do was stare up at the tall, dark haired man, one who she thought she had known, a painfully confused expression on her face as she tried to come to terms with the bombshell Edo Percy had just dropped on her.

After all she didn't know how or what to feel about the suggestion that Perseus could be her father. A man who had been missing from her life since before she was born, and who she had both always longed to meet, and yet had never wanted too. After all the man had abandoned her, and a part of her wanted to know why, whilst another part didn't.

Now after what the Edo Percy had said, all those emotions and feelings were once again bubbling up to the surface, almost overwhelming her as she lost her voice and could only stare at the man who might be her father in confusion.

On top that though a part of her wanted to know about where she came from, after all, she couldn't remember having any other parent apart from Grandine. Who despite caring for her and loving her had been a dragon, and so could not have been her true mother. Now though, now she had a potential lead as to just who she was and where she came from.

Beside her she could feel Carla had a paw on her leg, her friend not saying anything, but still lending Wendy her silent support. Though had the blue haired girl looked down she would have seen the angry, bordering on malevolent expression on Carla faces as she glared at Perseus. The little cat having her own opinion on what she had just learned.

Not that the little cat's glaring bothered Percy, in fact he barely noticed as he was far more concerned with just who this Fairy Hunter was and why they were inspiring such panic in a whole Guild. The only comparison he could make was the fear a Dark Guild might feel if they heard an S-Class Wizard was attacking. Which considering how the Edolas Fairy Tail was standing against the monarchy might be the case. Which meant this Fairy Hunter might be some high ranking Wizard, one who was connected to the Kingdom of Edolas.

Before he jumped to any conclusions though he needed more information. Which is why he grabbed onto the arm of a passing Wizard, one who was very familiar to him, Mirajane, his grip firm but not rough as he only wanted to get her attention. Which is exactly what happened as the white haired beauty paused in her activities and instead looked at him in confusion. Her blue eyes, the same as her Earthland counterpart, widening slightly as she looked into Percy's intense sea green eyes.

"What's happening, what's going on?" Percy asked, his tone brooking no objection as he released Mira, an expectant expression on his face. He didn't want to be harsh, but he needed to make a decision about what he was about to do fast. After all by the sounds of it his Edolas counterpart was preparing to use some kind of magic to transport the entire Guild someplace else. With this kind of putting a timer on Percy as to what he should do next.

As Percy was doing this, his questions gained the attention of the rest of his group, all of whom also looked to the startled Mira for answers.

"I don't have time to explain properly." Mira replied, her tone hurried as she broke eye contact with Perseus. "Not with the Fairy Hunter on her way. No, we have to get everything ready to go as soon as we can, so we can move the Guild to a safer spot."

"Everyone else is doing that. But we need to know who this Fairy Hunter is?" Percy replied, his gaze scanning the Guild, noticing as he did so that the machine Edo Levy was still messing around with in the corner, had begun to make a whirring sound. Seeing this Percy could only come to the conclusion that this meant that the Guild Building was going to be moving very soon.

"She's an agent of King Faust, one of the four Captains of his army. She like the King's other Captains are the ones that are sent to hunt down and destroy any Guild that defies the Crown. And our Guild is the very last, so I guess you could call us a Dark Guild. I mean, Knightwalker alone has been responsible for dozens of dead and imprisoned Fairy Tail members!" Mira said her voice bordering on frantic and a flash of fear appearing her eyes at the mention of this Fairy Hunter. "She's a true monster!"

"One of the King's captains." Percy muttered to himself, before he gritted his teeth and nodded his head, his hand shifting down to rest on the pommel of his sword. "Well then, she must be in the King's confidence then, and will likely know about where the rest of our Guild is being kept and just what the King plans on doing with them?"

"Wait, you can't be thinking of actually going out there and facing her?!" Mira gasped out, her voice filled with shock and fear. "That's suicide, even Percy, the other Percy I mean couldn't take her, and he's the strongest in the Guild!"

"Ha! Looks like things aren't so different here after all!" Natsu laughed out, as he decided to pitch into the conversation. "I mean our Percy is one of the strongest in our Guild too, I mean he's on the same level as Master Makarov and old Gildarts!"

Lucy let out a sigh at that, not because she disagreed with what Natsu was saying. But more because the dragon slayer, despite his recent growth, was obviously oblivious to what was happening. After all from what Percy was saying, it almost sounded like he wanted to go out and face this Fairy Hunter.

"Aye, that's exactly what I'm going to do." Percy replied abruptly, confirming the other's suspicions as he did so. A confident smile on his face as he patted Edo Mira on the shoulder and walked past her, heading for the main door so he could get out of the Guild before it was transported elsewhere.

As he did so he could feel the rest of his group making to follow him. Which of course didn't surprise him, as ever since they had arrived in this world, Percy had taken the lead.

"You lot stay here though. Go with the other Fairy Tail for now, and once it's safe find a way to get to the capital. I'll meet up with you there as soon as I can" Percy said as he turned to his companions, a confident smile on his face as he looked from Lucy, to Natsu, to Gajeel and then down to Wendy. His smile becoming a bit tighter as he looked at the younger girl, old feelings of confusion, hope, insecurity, fear and joy rising up in him as he looked at the girl.

"Wait what!? I thought you said we should stick together!" Lucy spoke up first, her blonde hair flying around her as she took a step towards Percy. Her eyes wide in both shock and maybe a little fear, as the pillar of strength that she and the others had been relying on since they first came to Edolas, made to leave.

"Yeah, what the hell are you thinking?! We'll come with you!" Natsu shouted loudly. "I mean we're a Guild dammit, and Guild's stick together, no matter what!"

"Not today we don't. Today we'll be splitting up briefly. After all I'll move faster on my own, plus this way if my gamble doesn't pay off and this Knightwalker doesn't know anything, then at least we won't have wasted time as you'll still be able to get to our friends." Percy said quickly, knowing as he did so that the Guild was about to depart and that he didn't have time for a lengthy explanation.

"Look we need to know where our Guild is and what the King plans, you all head to the capital and I'll meet you there, trust me!" Percy added on firmly, his tone brooking no argument. After all he had assessed the risk of this option against the potential benefits and had come to the conclusion that the more knowledge they had on the King's plans the better. After all the last thing he wanted was for them to arrive at the capital only to find the King had moved their Guild Members somewhere else. Or had plans in place just in case there was an attempted rescue.

With that in mind Percy turned again and pulled the door of the Guild open, ignoring the shouts of the Edo Guild Members, as they shouted for him to stop, warning him that they were about to leave and that they couldn't come back for him. Instead he looked over the faces of his companions, a slight smile on his face as he saw their varying expressions.

Lucy looked conflicted and uncertain, a part of her somewhat understanding why he was going, even if another part of her wanted him to stay with them. Still she stayed back and trusted that Percy knew what he was doing.

Natsu was scowling, his expression tight and angry. The pink haired dragon slayer still obviously against the idea, even if it looked like he was going to respect Percy's decision, even if he didn't agree with it.

Gajeel also looked irritated, though just what about Percy wasn't sure. After all Percy's interaction with the iron dragon slayer was limited to say the least.

Then there was Wendy. Just looking at the short, blue haired girl still filled Percy with confusion. A part of him was not sure what to think about what his alternate self had said. After all he was pretty sure he hadn't had any kids in decades. However looking closely at Wendy now, he could see a few similarities in her appearance, things that one would only notice if they knew what they were looking for. They were small, like an expression reminiscent of Percy' mother, or a crooked smile that Percy recognised from looking into a mirror, but they were there, and the closer he looked the more he saw.

They were small similarities, but enough to put doubt in Percy's mind. After all he had had children on Earthland before, and due to the inherent magic of their mothers and the land, along with the absence of the Olympians presence in this world, only certain aspects of Percy's godly heritage were passed on. Just looking at her a part of Percy hoped that she was his daughter, yet another part feared the idea.

Pushing those thoughts away for now, Percy turned to leave, before he did however he paused just long enough to impart a few final words before he left.

Ignoring his alternate self's shout that the 'Transportation Magic' was ready, and that they were going to be leaving. Percy instead turned briefly to look at the members of his Guild once more, before he just focused in on Wendy, a smile present on his face as he did so.

"When I get back Wendy, we'll talk." It was not much, but at the moment it was the best Percy could do. As without another word he exited the Guild, just in time too, because a few moments later the Guild disappeared. The tree like building glowing before seemingly exploding into a shower of light, leaving only an empty crater in its wake.

Blinking in surprise Percy turned away from the crater, just in time to see the shadows of some large flying beasts descending from the sky, his brow furrowing at the sight as he prepared himself for the fight to come.

( - )

(A few minutes before)

"Hey Percy!" Edo Levy shouted as she pulled a leaver, the magical transporter in front of her now fully charged up. "The transport field is set and the machine is all charged up! Should I activate transportation!?"

"Hold for a few seconds!" Edo Percy ordered as he looked away from Levy and instead over at his Earthland counterpart, who at that moment looked like he was about to leave the Guild hall. "Hey Perseus the 'Transportation Magic' is ready, we are about to leave. If you step out now we won't be able to come back for you!"

If he was expecting an answer though he was to be disappointed, as his counterpart ignored him and instead said a few words to his companions before he turned and left the Guild.

"Of all the foolhardy and idiotic…!" Edo Percy cursed, his frustration getting the best of him.

"Dad! We need to go, Knightwalker is almost here!" Edo Wendy shouted out as she ran over to her father, her long blue hair flowing behind her.

Edo Percy grunted at that, before giving the order. "Levy make the jump!"

"Finally!" The rambunctious girl shouted out before she pulled another leaver. The machine activating instantly as the Guild and everything within it glowed and began shaking. The 'Space Time Magic' the machine controlled making everything distort for a moment, before with another crash they arrived at their destination. The tree like Guild sprouting from the ground like some kind of mutated plant.

"Fuck! I hate it when we do that!" Lucy Ashley cursed out as she pushed herself to her feet, one of her hands coming up to massage her aching head. "Oi pipsqueak, are you sure you can't make the ride any smoother?!"

"Piss off you dumbass blonde. Do you know how complicated that machine is? It's literally manipulating space and time! We're lucky we can even make it work at all!" Levy shouted back as she too stumbled to her feet, the two of them like the rest of the occupants of the Guild having fallen to the ground from the shaking.

"Can you two stop fighting for once?!" Edo Wendy shouted as she got in between the two and shoved them apart, the blue haired girl not in the mood for the two's constant bickering. "We need to make sure everything is accounted for."

The two of them both grumbled at that, but still did as Wendy said, as Levy went back to the transportation machine, the petit blue haired girl checking it over to make sure it was alright. Lucy Ashley however began walking through the Guild, dragging the weaker members of the guild, like Elfman, to their feet as she did so.

"Wendy can you take a role call please?" Edo Percy asked as he gave his daughter's shoulder a light squeeze. "We need to make sure our entire family is here, safe and sound."

Wendy shot her father a nod and a smile at that. "Don't worry about it."

"Good girl." Percy replied with a smile as he saw Wendy then turn around and begin calling out names, shouting for everyone to answer when they heard their name. With that done, Percy then went over to the tinkering Levy, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

"How's she looking Levy?" Percy asked as he looked down at the transportation machine, his own creation, one that he had built after fleeing the capital, using his experience with the anima to create it.

"The transporter itself is alright. The amount of fuel we have left for it though." Levy muttered as she pushed herself to her feet. "We only have enough for one more journey."

Percy grimaced as he heard that. "Well, we might need to arrange for another raid on the Kingdom's mines."

"That's risky though. The last time it caused a lot of heat. We ended up having to move three times in a month to avoid the King's hunters." Levy replied quietly. "It's almost not worth it."

Percy nodded at that. "Usually I would agree, but with our 'friends' from Earthland here we might be able to use the distraction they cause to our advantage."

Levy grunted at that before she looked over Percy's shoulder and saw that said group was still milling around aimlessly.

"Speaking of which." Percy muttered before he turned around and approached the assembled group. "So you're version of me has disappeared has he?"

"Yeah, I think he is hoping to interrogate the Fairy Hunter and find out more about what the King is planning." Earthland Lucy replied as she looked around at her group.

"Well he's a braver man than most. Erza Knightwalker is a powerful mage, completely ruthless to especially when it comes to fulfilling her orders. I should know, I fought her once and barely survived." Percy said with a grimace.

"Wait, did you just say Erza?" Natsu shouted, his face paling as he saw Percy nod. "Erza's... our enemy?"

"I guess you know your version of Erza?" Percy asked in interest.

"Aye, though she's a member of Fairy Tail and one of its most loyal and powerful members." Gajeel grunted, his brow furrowed as he tried to come to terms with everything that was happening. After all it was pretty surreal to be dealing with people that were the complete opposites of the ones you know. "Can't believe she's evil in this world.

"I wouldn't call her evil" Percy replied carefully, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Here in Edolas she is one of the King's most loyal and powerful soldiers. Everything she does, she does because she believes it is the right thing to do for the Kingdom and its people. So if anything I think she is little more than a solider doing her duty, not that that excuses her actions, but they at least make them understandable."

"I suppose, but it is still weird. I don't know how Percy will react either, I mean our Erza used to be his student and the two of them are really close." Lucy said her brow furrowed at the thought of Earthland Percy and Edolas Erza meeting. She didn't even know what would happen.

"I don't think that'll mean much to a guy like Perseus. The guy is a stone cold bastard, I doubt killing her would make him batter an eye." Gajeel spoke up, not really caring that the man's Edolas counterpart was stood in front of him. His own opinion of Percy not quite as rosy as the other Guild Members. After all from what little he had seen of the guy, he seemed completely ruthless and merciless, who knows maybe him and that Knightwalker chick would get along?

"H-hey that's n-not true!" Wendy spoke up, a scowl on her face as she nervously looked up at Gajeel. "He's n-not like that."

"And how would you know peewee, I mean you didn't even know he was your dad!" Gajeel replied bluntly.

Wendy froze as she heard that, her eyes widening.

"Gajeel stop being a jerk!" Lucy shouted as she moved over to Wendy and put an arm around her shoulders.

"Yes you brute leave her alone! It's not her fault that that man is a deadbeat!" Carla snapped as she took to the air and hovered just in front of Gajeel, the glare she had once given Percy, now being sent at Gajeel.

"Beat it cat!" Gajeel growled warningly.

"Everyone shut up!" Natsu suddenly shouted, his fists bursting into fire as he glared around at the arguing group. "Why the hell are you all fighting?! How's this going to help the rest of our Guild?!"

Nobody could answer that, as they all realised that for once Natsu had a point.

"Hmm, well I have to say your Natsu here is a lot more confident and outspoken than our own." Edo Percy spoke up with a faint smile, his gaze flickering down to Natsu's flaming fists for a moment before going back to the group. "Though he does make a good point, what you all should be doing now is heading for the capital so you can rescue your friends."

"Yeah, thanks. So, um..." Natsu said as he looked around and saw the rest of his group were now looking to him, even Gajeel. Though that might just be because the iron studded wizard liked glaring at him. "Could you tell us the best way to get to the capital?"

"Yeah we have to find where your King is keeping the rest of our Guild, plus we need to meet up with Percy." Wendy said as she looked around, noticing as she did that they had the attention of most of the Edolas Fairy Tail now, a fact that almost made her so nervous she wanted to shrink in on herself. Still though for the sake of their friends she persevered. "W-we have to go and save them now!"

"I'm sorry to tell you this, little me..." Edo Wendy said as she approached the group, the tall blue haired girl having finished her roll call. "But it might be better if you give up. Nobody stands up against the King of Edolas and lives to tell the tale. The power this kingdom has cannot be taken lightly. I mean we've had to hide for years to avoid being wiped out, and we're a whole Guild!"

"In this world magic is a limited resource." Elfman added in as he looked around at the other grim face Edolas mages. "It won't last forever."

"And because of that the King has been trying to keep all the remaining magic for himself." Gray also spoke up, the overdressed teen looking uncomfortable. "I mean he has all of his Captains and most of his army in the capital. It'd be suicide going in there by yourselves."

"As a result..." Juvia said sadly. "A royal decree was sent out ordering all mage Guilds to disband. Everyone resisted at first, but the Magic War Divisions of the Royal Army crushed all the other Guilds, one after another... until we were the only ones left. That why we're hiding, barely managing to stay ahead of the Kingdom. In fact without Percy we would probably have been wiped out by now."

"It's all we can do just to keep them from catching us." Jet said, with his friend Droy nodding along next to him. "You really shouldn't get involved with them. You're better off just going back to your own world."

"Wait what? What are you saying?!" Natsu shouted as he glared around at all the surrounding mages. "I'm going to save my friends, no matter what!"

"I understand." Percy said, getting the attention of the rest of the Guild as he turned around and looked at them. "I understand why the Earthlanders want to rescue their friends, I also understand why the members our Fairy Tail are so nervous. As such I won't order anyone to go, but I would like to ask, will some of you go with the Earthlanders and show them the way to the capital? I would go myself, but there are things I must do to ensure the survival of my own Guild, which I am afraid for me takes precedent above all else."

Natsu nodded at that, understanding that Percy as the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild Master likely had other responsibilities. As for the rest there was silence as all of the Edolas Guild Members looked amongst each other.

The silence was soon broken though when Lucy Ashley spoke up. "Fuck it, you only live once. I'll go with them and show them the way."

"I'll help too, it might be foolish but I want to help them however I can." Edolas Wendy said, glancing at her father as she did so, before smiling when she saw the proud look he sent her way.

"Good, thanks both of you." Percy said as he looked down at the two. "You make both me and Fairy Tail proud."

(Back at the former site of the Fairy Tail Guild)

With a loud crash, a giant, grey winged beast landed on the ground. The earth rumbling slightly as the great scaled creature came to a stop, its monstrous bat like wings beginning to furl as it shifted its large, heavy, bestial head back and forth. A slight snuffling sound showing that the creature was attempting to catch the scent of its quarry.

This creature was a Legion, a large draconic being of immense strength, one which the Kingdom of Edolas used as mounts. With the formidable creatures being able to tank magical attacks and bear its rider swiftly over the land. The only unfortunate thing about these creatures, was there lack of intelligence. They were little more than animals, with them having no connection to magic and so not having the inherent intelligence that Exceed and other beings with magic had.

As the beast landed and came to a stop its rider then leapt to the ground, her booted feet barely making a sound.

The rider in question was a young woman who had lithe powerful physique, intense dark brown eyes and long scarlet red hair, which was partially tied up in a loose ponytail. As the woman leapt off the saddle on the Legions back and landed lightly on the ground, she revealed her striking if slightly inappropriate outfit, which consisted of a top that was essentially an armored bra, a skimpy white cloth belted around her hips, that revealed the armored greaves that were clad onto her defined legs, and the gauntlets that ran from her hands up to her elbows. With both the greaves and gauntlets having a row of jagged spikes running down them, with these being decorations that could very easily be used as weapons in a fight. To finish off her ensemble the woman also had a navy blue scarf wrapped around her neck, partially concealing her lower face.

This was Erza Knightwalker, the Captain of the Second Magic War Division of the Royal Army and one of Edolas's most powerful mages.

The moment Erza leapt off her Legion she quickly began to scan her surroundings, her brown eyes narrowed as she glanced at the crater where the Guild hall had once been. Knowing as she did so that the Fairy Tail Guild had escaped her once again. Their lookout system having obviously caught the approach of her Legion and forewarned the Guild, giving them enough time to use that infernal machine to make an escape.

Before Erza could say anything though, she was interrupted by the arrival of another Legion. With this one landing just as heavily of her own, sending up a slight cloud of dust and dirt as it did so.

"I take it they've done another runner?" The rider of the new Legion said cheerily, as he swung his leg round and leapt to the ground.

Glancing over at the man, Erza looked the Fourth Magic War Division Captain, Sugarboy, up and down. Still as unimpressed with this man as she had been when he was first introduced to her. The man was tall and had broad powerfully built shoulders, he had blond hair that he wore in pompadour style, with sculpted sideburns stretching down towards his jawline. If that wasn't bad enough he was also wearing a set of pink plate armour, with matching gauntlets and greaves, and gold chain mail underneath said armour, with a long flowing white cloak to top it off. Everything about the man was flamboyant, ostentatious and over the top. Suffice to say Erza didn't approve of him.

"Yes, the fairies seem to be good at running, but there is only so long they can do so. Soon enough they'll run out of magic and we'll catch them." Erza replied her eyes narrowing as she looked around. "By the way, what are you doing here? Has the King sent orders?"

"Hmm? Oh yes, apparently the massive Anima plan has succeeded." Sugarboy replied easily as he also looked around the area, a look of faint distaste on his face as he saw the quaintness of his surroundings. "Which of course means that the King has given the order for all division Captains to return to the Royal City."

"Oh? Has Earthland's Fairy Tail been destroyed?" Erza replied a faint frown on her face. After all she understood the necessity of the action, however a part of her couldn't help but be disgusted in how they were treating human lives like fuel. Still the King had given his orders, and for the good of the Kingdom and its people, Erza would obey them, even if she didn't approve of them.

"It has been absorbed, to be accurate." Sugarboy replied easily, the blonde haired man sharing none of his companions concerns. "I have to say though our King is certainly aiming high. The mages from that Fairy Tail are all in the Royal City now, contained in a massive lacrima."

"Then I suppose Edolas' magic will be secure for a while further then." Erza said, her tone emotionless.

"Mmm..." Sugarboy rubbed his chin in thoughtful agreement, before he opened his mouth and made to reply.

Before he could however Erza suddenly twirled around, pulling her magic weapon, an ornate spear she had named 'the Ten Commandments', from where she had it on her back. Her eyes narrowing as she twirled the blade in her hands, her head shifting back and forth as she prepared to attack or defend at any moment.

"Erza wha…" Sugarboy said in surprise as he to automatically unsheathed his weapon, an elegant magic blade called Rosa Espada.

"Quiet we're not alone!" Erza snapped as she shifted around, her spear at the ready. Before without a word she twisted round and faced her opponent. Her eyes narrowing as she saw a dark haired man with familiar sea green eyes standing on the other side of the crater, a glowing gold and silver sword in one hand and a dangerous smile on his face.

AN: So a bit of a cliffhanger eh? Well what can I say you'll just have to wait until next time to find out what happens next. Still though I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, it was pretty difficult to write, especially the first part.

So there was a bit of a mixed reaction to the reveal last chapter, and I can understand peoples concerns. Hopefully though I'm able to answer some of those concerns and questions as the story continues. Suffice to say there is going to be some very interesting stuff coming up in this arc.

Also I have this story planned as far as the Tartaros Arc, though am the hedge a bit about whether to finish it there or continue it to the Alvarez Arc. After all I watch the anime I don't read the manga so I'm not clear on the later arcs as I am on the ones up to Tartaros.

Other than that I hope you leave a comment or a review. This story on the verge of hitting 1000 favourite and follows, which I'm quite excited for. So would just like to thank everyone for all the support you've shown so far.

Thanks a lot for reading.

Seagate.
