OniTenshi500: That will be quite the fun fight!
Raremeat: I am! After the original arc him and some other Mashle peeps will show up
Kuroshiragami0: here it is
AnimeFan13579: That's why Rayne is the goat. Oh my God that would be a funny situtation to deal with, Abel would have to cover Abyss eyes so he doesn't die and Lemon would make sure Mash only looked at her. Imagine Rayne meeting someone like Carrot from One Piece. That is right. They don't know yet about Lacrymas giving people power, they will lose their shit when they find out.
Mafpie: yep. thats him alright.
Jss2141: you got it.
Freakingname13: Quite the cute couple. Finn with a moustache is something amazing. Most likely a coincidence since I don't know what that is. Yes, Mashle's world is very religious, they have the faith that if you don't have magic than God has abandoned you and so you don't have the right to live, it didn't use to be like this tho since in some flashbacks we can see some magicless people... But I think we know what happened to them. Dot having sorceress weakly actually makes sense.
Getwo: the blue and black dragon is called Acnologia. Oh, Monster Hunter, my brother loves that game. Finn and Lucy do get along well. That woudl explain a lot. Carpaccio is one tricky guy to fight against. Laxus just wants to lift weights like mah boy. Orter is coming.
PhantomRPG: It does sound like a good idea, it be fun to exlpore Wirth and Orter's dynamic since Orter seems to want to fix the relationship with his brother.
It was a new day, people were back from the missions from the other day and we're now having a fun talk about the event that was coming
"The Harvest Festival?" Finn said
"That's right! And Fairy Tail is participating in it, and also having a beauty contest called Miss Fairy Tail, of course I'll be participating in it."Lucy said with a smile on her face
"Huh, well, good luck with-" Finn began but Love suddenly pushed him out of her way
"BEAUTY CONTEST!? Count me in!" Love yelled, hyped for this contest
"Yeah, it's between all the women of Fairy Tail, with a prize of five hundred thousand jewels." Lucy explained, getting up and helping Finn up
"FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND!?" Lemon yelled in shock, just appearing behind Lucy "Count me in too! I'll win!"
Lucy smiled at those two wanting to participate, she honestly thought they didn't stand a chance with all the other women in the guild, but Lucy was pretty confident in her appearance so she had a very good shot at this, even with Mira and Erza participating she still had the younger and newer charms, so she had a shot!
"You shouldn't make such a face when thinking about winning…" Finn said, staring at Lucy who had a very smug look

In the streets of Magnolia, the divine visionaries were now making their way towards the Fairy Tail guild, with Orter being the one in front. A small child carrying an ice cream cone came from the opposite of them, bumping into Orter and falling on the ground and dropping their ice cream
"Ouch!" The child looked up at who she bumped with "S-sor-"
But Orter didn't even glance at the child, he just continued walking and stepped on the child's ice cream, ruining it even more than it already was. The child's eyes watered when she saw that, Ryoh noticed that and crouched in front of them
"Hey kid, here." Ryoh said, giving some jewels he got from his new position as a Wizard Saint to the child "Buy yourself a new one, this time with five scoops."
Ryoh gave the kid some headpats before walking away, coming together with the group once again, giving Orter a look
"Orter, you should be more careful." Sophina told him
"Yeah, making a kid cry is not manly." Ryoh told him while crossing his arms
"That is irrelevant. I'm not here to help these people, I'm simply following the law." Orter fixed his glasses when he said that
The divine visionaries looked at him for a moment before continuing on their way, there was no getting through this guy so there's no point trying to argue with him
—
Back at the guild, Laxus approached Mash who just looked at him through the corner of his eyes. The lighting mage brought Mash to the supply closet so they could have a private talk
"Weren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Mash asked
"Yeah, but it is so easy that the Thunder Legion can deal with it on their own." Laxus said, confusing Mash since he didn't know what that was "Now, as I said before, I can acknowledge your strength, and that is why I'm making you a proposition. I have a plan to-"
But this conversation was interrupted by the sound of the doors of the guild slamming open, making Mash come out of that closet to see what was going on, Laxus followed suit due to his curiosity. The group that helped them during the end of the entire incident at Tower of Heaven had returned, the Divine Visionaries!
"What are you doing here?" Rayne asked
"Yeah! You guys abandoned us and then just decided to show up again!" Natsu yelled at them
"Well, we did say you all were going to be safe. And you did." Kaldo told them while smiling
"Whatever happened before doesn't matter, we're not here to talk. Where is Mash Burnedead?" Orter asked
"Always straight for business…" Renatus said while scratching his head
Mash walked up to the rest of the group, making himself be seen by the Divine Visionaries, who all focused his sights on him, for some reason Mash felt a very big pressure on him now
"Hey." Mash said
"I don't think you should have revealed yourself so easily…" Dot deadpanned
"Mash Burnedead, it has been revealed to us that you don't possess any magic. As per the law, you are a creature abandoned by God, you don't have the right to live. Therefore, you shall be brought back to our world and be executed." Orter immediately laid down what was going to happen, making everyone there widen their eyes in shock
"Shit!" Dot yelled, it had been so long since they were home that they forgot about that problem
"Wait, what do you mean by our world!?" Abel asked
"This is a different world. How you were brought here is unknown, but it is supposed it was by the ancient lost magic Dimentio. A magic so powerful that only the most powerful mages in the world are capable of using it. Like Mister Wahlberg." Sophina explained "The name itself should give you a pretty good idea of what said magic is capable of."
"I don't care about other worlds or whatever, what do you mean execute!?" Natsu yelled
"Mash's world has a big problem with people without magic, they are seen as abandoned by God, so they are not allowed to live." Erza explained while frowning, remembering the explanation from when she was being judged by the magic council
"That's horrible! He can't control that he doesn't have magic, why should he be executed for that!?" Lucy yelled
"Your feelings are irrelevant. It is how the law is, so it shall be done." Orter told them
"I'm not going." Mash said
Everyone looked at the boy and saw him shoving his feet on the ground, making himself be stuck there
"I'm not going."
"Are you a child?" Lance deadpanned
"Your compliance isn't a factor." Orter fixed his glasses
"I like it here. Is a lot more welcoming than back home and my friends are here with me. So I'm staying here." Mash told him
"An abomination born without magic does not get the right to choose. You are coming and getting executed whether you like it or not." Orter said and took a step forward
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu yelled and tried to hit Orter with a flaming punch
However, Orter's body turned into sand, making the punch go straight through him, Orter glanced at the dragon slayer and pointed his wand at him, causing a sand hand to grab him and slam him away
"Do not interrupt. This is the law at work." Orter ordered him
"I don't care! You are not going to call my friend an abomination and then say he doesn't deserve to live! If you want him you'll have to take him!" Natsu yelled and charged at Orter again, who dodged his attacks
"Yeah! This isn't home! You can't just kill him here! Your stupid laws don't apply here! So fuck off, Explomb!" Dot yelled and pulled out his wand, blasting a fireball at Orter
But when it got close, an ice wall formed, blocking the attack, who did that was Tsurara who looked at him while shivering
"C-c-could you not do this? I-i-it w-w-would be easier to just accept…" Tsurara told him
"Iron Dragon's Club!" even Gajeel was trying to help, turning his arm into an iron club and blasting it at the Visionaries, only for it to be blocked by Sophina's book "That brat is not dying until I beat him!"
"Hmm…" Sophina frowned slightly at him
The entire guild charged at the visionaries, making Tyrone let out a small smile and make his little pet fly at them, transforming him into a massive dragon that tackled them. Kaldo blocked an slash from Erza, parrying her away with his sword as the two began to fight, Renatus summoned various zombie hands from the ground that grabbed Elfman, keeping him in place, Orter kept on dodging Natsu until he blasted him away with his sand, feeling a gravitational force pushing him down he turned completely into sand, appearing behind Lance and kicking him away
"By hiding a criminal, you are all accomplices. Therefore we're allowed to use force against all of you." Orter said
Rayne didn't know what to do, even with the ones here fighting the visionaries would result in certain defeat, there had to be another way to do this
"I can't let you all continue this." Makarov yelled, turning into his giant form "Mash is one of my children, you even suggesting he should die is the biggest offense I've ever seen!"
"Protecting your own children, huh? You're quite manly." Ryoh said while smirking
"Hey, that's my thing!" Elfman yelled
Orter then disappeared once again, appearing behind Mash and getting a sand spear ready to go right through Mash's ear and destroy his brain
"Mash!" Lemon yelled in shock
Everyone looked at that, with Natsu, Erza, Lemon, and Lance dashing to try and save Mash, but suddenly they all stopped attacking
"STOP!" the voice of an old man made all of the divine visionaries stop what they were doing and look at who had just appeared
"Mister Wahlberg!?" The Divine Visionaries said shocked
It indeed was Walhberg who had appeared, he had followed their magic power and managed to get there just in time, and surprisingly, a blonde woman was right beside him. The bearded man walked inside the guild, making the divine visionaries stop their attacks and keep looking at him, even the Fairy Tail mages stopped due to the shock of one person being able to make this many strong people stop fighting
"You do know about the only other person with enough power to use the magic to cross dimensions. Innocent Zero. That must mean that he had interest in this boy and the people with him, he can help us greatly against him. We cannot just lose him with such a hasty decision." Wahlberg said, standing tall above the Visionaries "He may even give us a lead towards him."
"He is only sparring Mash so he can work as a weapon against this Innocent Zero…" Natsu growled
"Uh… That's the headmaster of my school. Is he someone important?" Mash asked confused
"You don't know? Mister Wahlberg was a divine visionary himself in the past, and the only person who can fight toe to toe with the most evil magical criminal, Innocent Zero. He's a living legend. Even I, who is currently the strongest Divine Visionary, deeply respect him. He is truly the most manly magic user." Ryoh explained, making the Fairy Tail mages sweat a little, but Mash didn't seem to understand "It means when he talks you listen."
"Kay."
"Mister Wahlberg, I do indeed understand where you are coming from. But I do not accept it. The rules mandate this treatment, they are not open to interpretation. Order must be kept and the people without magic must be purged." Orter said, standing up even against someone so highly above him "It has been an unanimous decision after all."
"Hold on." Ryoh chimed in "I don't remember actually agreeing to this."
"As a matter of fact, I also don't remember." Kaldo smiled at Orter
Orter glared at those two, getting annoyed at all of this. But suddenly his attention was caught when Wahlberg began to kneel in front of them, making all of the visionaries widen their eyes
"It seems this situation is a lot more complicated than I thought…" Makarov went back to his normal size, looking at the Visionaries debating their problems
"M-Mister Wahlberg! Please, you needn't bow to us!" Sophina said in a panic
"It is true, Mash can't use magic. He is rough around the edges, and is not the smartest. But he has an unusual gift, the power to sway hearts. Look at him, he's been here for not even a year and has already got this many people who would fight tooth and nail to protect him. The worldview we possess needs to change, and I believe it will take someone like him to do that. Not only me, but even my old teammate, Meliadoul." Wahlberg said, turning slightly to said teammate
"That is true." The woman said, making Ryoh sweat a little remembering his interactions with her "Until now people without magic have been treated as an inferior species. But is that really right? People here seem to not think so. Why would it be right for us then?"
"Our values change along history, redefining those values takes courage because we must admit our injustices." Wahlberg finished "But what is wrong is still wrong."
"Mister Wahlberg. I respect your position, but just one person cannot-" Orter began but then he saw Rayne walking up to them and kneeling
"I agree with Mister Wahlberg. And also, Mash Burnedead has proven himself worthy of our trust. At least in my opinion." Rayne said while looking up at them
"What Rayne says is true." Erza decided to also throw herself at this problem "Mash has proven time and time again how much of a good person he is, I've seen it with my own eyes. You cannot simply overlook the evidence because of your beliefs."
"While I'm sure you have good intentions, outsiders cannot really have a say on how our rules are done." Kaldo explains it to her
"Debating all of this is boring. Let's just bring him and get this over with!" Renatus said while cleaning his ear
"Mister Wahlberg, Miss Meliadoul, Rayne, your positions have been stated quite well, however, the public is not going to accept an exception." Sophina told them
Tsurara and Tyrone stayed quiet while seeing all of this unfold. Orter took a step forward, looking down at them and fixing his glasses once again
"There is nothing to discuss here. We execute those without magic. They are abominations to the order of the world. Mash Burnedead is a member of our world so he works under our rules. You are all putting emotions above rational thought." Orter states
"Are they?" Makarov took a step forward "They seem to be actually more understanding that things can change. You seem to be blinded by the feeling that the rules are absolute. Besides, it seems that the person with more authority than you doesn't agree with your actions."
"One person alone cannot make the decisions on their own, that is called a dictatorship. This has been put into a vote and we have agreed to this." Orter told him
"How about we remake those votes then?" Ryoh crossed his arms, making Orter glare at him "Because it seems you are taking your decision as the one everyone else chooses."
Orter frowned and sighed, deciding to humor him on this one
"Fine. Let us redo the vote. Lift your hand if you agree that Mash Burnedead must be spared." Orter said, looking to see who would raise their hand
Ryoh raised his hand, after seeing his fight against Jellal to protect his friends he thought this boy was incredibly manly, Wahlberg and Meliadoul lifted their hands, thanks to Meliadoul being also a student of Adam Jobs she also had a certain authority over this, Rayne did too. Surprisingly, Kaldo lifted his hand too, Mash had peaked his interest thanks to his fight against Jellal, and the final hand rose… That being Sophina's
"Sophina…" Orter glared at her
"Mister Wahlberg said that things need to change. The public would not accept said change, but since we are speaking on our personal opinions here, I also do not think that executing Mash Burnedead is needed." Sophina explained her reasoning
"I-I-I also d-d-don't think we should…" Tsurara said "I-i-if Mister Wahlberg and Rayner believe that he should stay alive t-t-then I think the same…"
"Honestly, I don't care if he lives or dies." Renatus shrugged
"It seems you're outnumbered." Gray smirked at Orter
"So Mash is going to live!?" Lemon smiled
"Fine. But only under these circumstances…" Orter began getting their attention once again "Mash Burnedead will need to be monitored by one of us during all of his activities here and serve as a tool against Innocent Zero."
"Mash is a person! You can't just treat him as a weapon, you four eyed bastard!" Natsu growled at him
"And he must also prove himself to be strong enough to help against him." Orter said ignoring Natsu "To help that, this entire guild is challenged to a tournament against us, The Divine Visionaries. You must create a team of eight fighters, including Mash Burnedead, and face against us in a tournament setting in three days. If you come out victorious, Mash is allowed to live. If you lose, he gets executed. Follow these rules and demands, if you don't, the families of every member of our world will pay the prices for it. So don't even think about running too."
The entire guild widened their eyes, he was even resorting to threatening his family to get what he wanted… This man really didn't care how far he went. Mash got his feet off the ground, walking up to Orter and standing right in front of him, staring him down with an angry aura around him
"Understood. And I'm not running. Especially not after you threatened my friends and family like that." Mash said, raising his fist at Orter who didn't even flinch "I'll give you a beating and show you that not even these rules will stop me from living in peace with my friends."
Orter simply scoffed at that, turning around and making the other visionaries follow him
"Rayne. This includes you." Orter said making Rayne frown
Rayne looked at the mages from Fairy Tail and then looked down, leaving with the other visionaries, with Wahlberg and Meliadoul following right behind him. Rayne never was an actual member of the guild, but he would be lying if he said he didn't develop an actual liking for that place, even if he didn't spend much time there
"Rayne…" Finn said, looking at his brother going away
"Hey…" Elfman saw how Finn was feeling and put a hand on his shoulder "Don't worry. Your brother is quite manly, he isn't going to just leave and fight us without trying to make this stop."
Finn sighed, Lucy saw how he was feeling and also put a hand on his shoulder, having a family member as an enemy truly was a horrible feeling to have, she didn't wish that upon anyone.
"Alright, we have three days." Natsu said, snapping his knuckles "That's more than enough time to prepare to beat the hell out of those pricks!"
"That bastard threatened even my sister. He shall face all of my wrath." Lance said as veins popped out of his hand
"Before the festival happens, we will have to deal with these guys. They'll see what happens when they challenge Fairy Tail for one of their members' lives." Makarov said making the entire guild cheer, agreeing with him
Laxus, however, just looked at that and frowned. These guys better manage to win this by a landslide. He isn't going to participate, he had his own… situation to take care of. But if they lost, they will just prove that what he is planning to do is the right choice.
And another shorter chapter is done. This one was mostly setup, now the first original arc begins!
