Hello everyone to the tenth installment of Fairy Tail: Lucy's New Game. With me again is my partner and Co-writer, Kaizokuoniiorewanaru.
Kaizoku: Hello.
With this chapter, we officially start the Cursed Island Arc, right after two things that need to happen.
Kaizoku: Those two things happen to be what this episode is about, If I'm not mistaken.
Yep, but we won't say it, you'll just have to read the chapter. So, it was my turn to bring in someone?
Kaizoku: I believe so.
Right, well then, please give a warm round of applause to the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov Dreyar.
Makarov: *appears from a pillar of light*
Greetings Guild Master Makarov, it's an honor to have you here.
Kaizoku: Indeed it is.
Makarov: "Thank you for having me."
So how does it feel to have two of the strongest females in Fairy Tail?
Makarov: (Had a mix of joy and dread) "I don't know weather to feel overjoyed or feel dread from all the payments her their powers will case…"
Kaizoku: I can understand that...
At least Lucy is willing to pay for any and all damages, like the Guild Master Hall.
Makarov: (Cries in happiness) "Bless that girl's heart~! I just might make her my student and teach her my magic."
… Huh, Lucy with Size Manipulating Magic… They do have those in games…
Kaizoku: ... There could be so many things wrong with that.
(Me and Makarov gave a flat look)
You do remember you gave her Skeith right… A giant Data Mech…
Makarov: "It's Guildarts teaching her we should worry about…" (All three of us shudder at the thought)
Kaizoku: Anyway, I DID, but she can only use it on giant monsters or against other Epitaph Users like herself.
Alright, we'll cross that Gamer Trophy Bridge when we get there. We still need to get to the story.
Makavor: "Right. So, I need to do the disclaimer, right?"
Kaizoku: Yes.
Makavor: "Very well. These two do not own Fairy Tail, The Gamer, or any other franchise that they use in this story. Only their own ideas and OCs."
Thank you for that Makarov. Now onto the story.
Chapter 10: Entering the Gamer Plaza. Natsu VS. Erza
(Magnolia: Lucy's Apartment)
We come in to see Lucy in her room, writing a letter on her desk. "Eisenwald's failed attempt to attack the guild masters with Lullaby ended up being big news," she wrote down. "It made all the papers, and it seemed like everybody was talking about it~ Before joining Fairy Tail, I never would have imagined I'd be part of such a big event. It feels awesome, but I'm not gonna let it go to my head, even if [Gamer's Mind] wasn't in the equation. It's still incredible to think about everything we went through and all the new things my team and I have gained… I heard that the authorities caught most of the Eisenwald members who were involved. They even got a hold of Kageyama, so that's reassuring at least… But the bad thing is… they still haven't been able to track down Erigor… I do worry that he'll show up at Fairy Tail, looking for revenge. But the Guild and I will be okay, because I'm, including myself, even though I'm the newest member, with the strongest team~ Erza, Gray and Natsu have my back no matter what, and I have their backs as well, not to mention Happy~ Fairy Tail is awesome and my fellow members are really great people, so don't worry Mom, I'm doing fine~
P.S. Turns out I'm not the only [Gamer] mage out there, Erza and Natsu are like me as well. So Life will be a lot more interesting with new powers and abilities to come.
P.S.S. Please don't tell dad any of this, 'kay?"
Lucy was then finished writing and then put her pen down. She sealed her letter in an envelope with a wax sealing. "Maybe I'll do a little shopping later today," she stated out loud. She then stretched he arms out. "Saving the world from evil is cool and all, but sometimes it's nice just to relax at home. I do need to sort through my earnings~"
"Man, 70,000 Jewel a month is dirt cheap for a place like this." Lucy suddenly heard. Lucy turned as sees Gray, in his shorts, sitting on a soft chair. "You totally scored, Lucy."
"INTRUDER ALERT!" Lucy screamed before kicking Gray off the chair. "No stripping in MY house, buddy!"
"Hey, give me a minute to explain, would you!?" Gray asked for. "I was naked when I got here..."
"Get out." Lucy ordered.
"So you forgot about today, huh?" Gray asked. "I figured you wouldn't remember, so I came by to remind you."
"About what?" Lucy asked back.
"Well, let me try to jog your memory. Remember when Natsu challenged Erza at the train station?"
"Oh yeah! She had a quest pop up!" Lucy realized. "It was way before Erza got that [Gamer Crystal] from that Thomas guy... Guess the fight's starting after she got it and gave that crystal to Romeo..."
"Yep, so we better hurry before all four of us miss it," Gray told them.
(Outside Fairy Tail Guild)
Lucy and Gray got back to see al of Fairy Tail circling around Erza and Natsu, cheering for one or the other to win.
"Oh dear, I can't believe they're going through with this," Excella said, worried about what was going to happen.
"This will be a show to watch," Lucy stated. "And they do need to go through with this fight."
Mirajane saw Lucy and greeted to her, "Oh hey Lucy.
"Well if those two value their manhood, then they'd better go through with it," Elfman stated.
"Erza's not a man," Mira stated.
"But you gotta admit, she is manly," Macao stated.
"Oh, Macao, how's your son taking to his new [Gamer] powers?" Lucy asked. "Gray told me Erza gave the [Gamer Crystal] she got to him."
"He's doing great. Getting used to everything. He didn't get any Champions yet." Macao replied.
"Did he tell you which deity he's champion to?" Lucy asked.
"I think it was... Hercules, or something?" Macao guessed.
"Huh? That's different…" Lucy stated.
"Really?" Macao asked.
"Well, either way, I gotta say, I'm pretty psyched to see how this fight turns out." Elfman said.
"Oh yeah? I'm sure she'll end up mopping the floor with him." Gray declared.
"Don't be to sure," Lucy stated. "They are just three levels apart and Natsu has his stat points."
"It's been quite a while since we faced off like this, hasn't it Natsu?" Erza rhetorically asked.
"I was just a little kid back then," Natsu stated. "Today's gonna be different, 'cause I'm taking you down Erza. I'm near your level now and I have [The Gamer] as well."
"Well, I'm not going to go easy on you. In fact, I have the perfect armor for this occasion." Erza declared.
Erza then used her regular magic, Requip, to change her armor out of her normal Fairy Armor to her Flame Empress Armor.
"That's Flame Empress Armor," Macoa stated. "A good choice against fire magic."
"So now Natsu's flames will only be half as effective," a purple hair girl with glasses and a red bow in her hair, named Laki Olieeta, pointed out.
"Come on Erza, at least give the kid a fightin' chance," Wakaba said, half serious, half joking.
Happy was thinking hard on something. It's then shown that it was a betting pool for who would win, and Cana was manning it. "Put me down for Erza in the second round," Happy betted, giving her his Jewels to bet with.
Lucy saw this, and rolled her eyes, "At least you're not being to mean with Natsu losing too soon."
"Seems you're getting into the spirit of this," Gray stated.
"Hey, this is a Quest for Erza, and Natsu could use the training with his new powers," Lucy stated, shrugging. "If I were my old self, I'd probable be worried about our team falling apart."
"Wow," Natsu stated, smiling, "Flame Empress Armor huh~? Well I'll just have to equal your armor with my own~" Natsu was then enveloped in a twister of fire and when it died down, he was now wearing Fang's Fire Armor and Sword.
"No way!" shouted most of the guild.
"Don't tell me he's a [Gamer] now too!" a guild member shouted.
"This just got better!" shouted another member.
"You know what, I think I'll turn up the heat even higher," Natsu stated, summoning his stat sheet.

He then put five points in Strength, six in Dexterity, fourteen in Intelligence, and three in Wisdom, making hiss stats look like this now.

After he put the points in, Natsu could tell feel he was stronger, and he felt smarter as well. "Woah, this feels awesome~!"
Makarov comes in. "Round one, start!" He exclaimed. Sure to attack first, Natsu swings his sword at Erza who dodges and counterattacks with her own sword, leaving a trail of fire, but Natsu ducks under it then kicks Erza with a foot of fire, forcing her to block the attack. Erza counterattacks, but Natsu backflips to avoid the attack.
"Kid's fast. Might give Ichigo's Shikai a run for his money." Jubei mused.
"Ha ha..." Ichigo pretended to laugh.
"Hey. I said SHI-Kai. Not BAN-Kai." Jubei pointed out.
"Focus, you two." Erza muttered to her champions as she ran towards Natsu who catches himself on his feet and shoots out a breath of flame that Erza dodges. Instead of keeping up his breath attack, like he originally planned, he instead slashes upwards, creating a wave of fire that Erza also dodges.
Natsu's mind was working faster then ever before, add that with his dragon instincts he was keeping up with Erza.
"You're doing great Natsu, seems those points in your Intelligence has helped you out," Fang stated.
"This is awesome," Natsu stated. "I was always good at fighting, but now I'm getting a better idea of it with my dragon traits." Natsu sent a flaming sword slash at Erza and added his Roar with it, having her to dodge, but making sure not to hit the watchers. He then few in the air with his Fire Wings, giving him an edge.
"He can fly!?" most of the guild shouted in shock and awe.
"This is awesome!" Lucy stated, pumped.
"See?" Elfman asked Lucy. "It's a good fight, huh?"
"This fight sucks," Gray stated.
"What fight is he watching?" Haseo asked, thinking Gray was being an idiot.
"This is an amazing show of magic swordsman ship between the two," Excella stated, enjoying the match.
As Erza and Natsu flew toward each other for another clash, the sound of clapping, which sounds like a gong, resounds, stopping them in their tracks. The guild looks towards the sound and see an old female frog-like being. "This fight is over. May I have your attention please? I have come here on behalf of the Magic Council." The frog-like being declared.
"No way!" Levy gasped.
"Seriously!?" Jet exclaimed.
"Why would the Council send her here?" Droy asked.
"Am I the only one who noticed that she's a frog!?" Lucy raised another question as the frog-like being pulls out a warrant.
"As a result of the Eisenwald incident, a member of your guild has been charged with 11 counts of criminal property damage. Not only that, but another member of your guild has been seen using magical powers that have never been seen before and warrants suspicion, and for that, they are to be arrested for questioning. Erza Scarlet and Lucy Heartfilia, you are under arrest!" The frog-like being declared.
Erza was in shock while Lucy was putting out a high squealing noise of shock. "YOU'RE ARESTING ME…!?" Lucy squeaked out.
"HUH!?" Natsu and Fang shouted in shock. "YOU'RE PUTTING THEM UNDER-A-WHAT!?"
Transition: Happy comes out of a hole in the ground, paw up, saying "And then this happened..." _
Fairy Tail was in a gloomy mood after Erza and Lucy were taken to the Magic Council.
"THIS ISN'T FAIR GUYS!" shouted Natsu, who was transformed into a small fire lizard. He was also trapped in a glass cup. "LET ME OUT OF HERE ALREADY!"
"Natsu, try to calm down," Mirajane told him.
"LET ME OUT! PRETTY, PRETTY, PLEASE!?"
"You'll go on a rampage."
"I'LL BE GOOD, I SWEAR! NOW PLEASE JUST TURN MEBACK TO THE WAY I WAS BEFORE!"
Mirajane bowed down to the glass cup to be more clear, and stated to him, "The second we turn you back, you'll run out to save Erza and Lucy…!"
"GIVE ME A BREAK! I COULDN'T CARE LESS WHAT HAPPENS TO ERZA! IT'S LUCY WHO'S MORE IMPORTANT! SHE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS!"
"Even if you wanted to help them, it's not like we can face off with the Council." Kokoro (A/N 1) pointed out.
"But don't those jerks on the Council realize that Erza and Lucy did what they had to do to save the lives of the guild masters from those bad guys and their evil death flute!?" Natsu asked.
"If the Magic Council says you're guilty, then you're guilty. End of story." Nigai answered. "They don't care what we have to say."
"I just don't get it. We've destroyed plenty of stuff in the past and they never made a big deal out of it." Elfman brought up.
"I know. It doesn't make any sense." Laki said.
"It's like... there's some other reason for this." Shinkei added.
(National Council: Fiore Branch)
At a building that was in three parts, one that was connected to the ground, second had floating walls and last had a floating building. This was the Fiore Branch of the Magic Council. As of right now, Erza Scarlet and Lucy Heartfilia are being led down its halls, drawing closer to the trail that waits them.
Erza and Lucy were following the frog woman, their hands cuffed in magic suppression cuffs. Erza looked stoic, but down hearten while Lucy was crying anime tears.
"Great…" Lucy moans. "Not even a Fairy Tail member for even two months and I'm already getting arrested, and for what… my magic…"
The trio suddenly stop and see a man with water blue hair leaning against one of the pillars alongside a woman with white hair and a black coat. Erza lets out a gasp. "Siegrain...!" She called the man. "And... Uh..."
"Jea." The woman said. "Countess Jea."
"It's been quite a while Erza," he greeted her.
Lucy whispers to Erza, asking, "You know this guy?"
Siegrain looks to Lucy. "You must be this Lucy I've been told about, with the strange magic you used to beat Lullaby." Lucy and Erza were both tense now. "Please relax. I'm only here in spirt. I'm sending this projection from Ero." He then looked at the door they were to enter. "In fact, all the wrinkled faces in that courtroom are projections as well. We didn't think it necessary to be here for such a trivial matter."
Erza's glare intensified. "I see, so you're the one who's behind this farce! You make me sick…!"
"This creep is why I'm here…!?" Lucy asked, glaring at Siegrain now.
Siegrain just walked past them. "Let's be civil," he told them. "I've always been a staunched defender of Fairy Tail, but the elders are worried the blame for Clover's destruction will fall into their laps, and the only way to avoid that is to place the blame on someone else entirely. You two are their scapegoats."
"Enough!" Erza shouted, turning to him.
"Hey!" Lucy shouted, turning as well. "I paid the guild masters that were at Clover the money to rebuild it and the hall! That should help with all that!"
"You are quite naive if you think that will work. You would be no better than the scum you turn in to prison, resorting to bribery to "repair the damages" that you made in the first place." Jea put down.
"BRIBE!?" Lucy shouted, enraged by the accusation. "I WAS REPAYING THE REPAIR COST OF THE DAMAGE WE DID! IT'S ONLY FAIR TO DO SO!"
"It just a friendly warning," Siegrain told them. "In fact, it's another matter altogether I wish to discuss with you." He then walked up to Erza, putting his hand to her chin, and leaned down to her face. "Don't let a word slip about you-know-what." He got close to her to whisper the last part, "For both our sakes."
Erza looked depressed after he said that, making Lucy angry. "Hey! Get away from her you creep!" she shouted, trying to force him off Erza, but her hand pass right through him. "… Right… you're not really here…"
Jea chuckles, showing her sharp teeth. "I wonder if the Magic Council would see it that way. Either way... you amuse me. I truly hope you get out of this alive~"
Siegrain walked away from Erza, getting back next to Jea. "We must join our colleagues on the council," he told the two girls. "We'll see you shortly in the other side." After that, the two's projections vanished.
"Oh, wow," the frog woman stated, looking at Erza in shock. "You know some very important people."
"He's evil," Erza stated.
"I can see why you'd say that…" Lucy agreed, not like those two. "They trouble… I can tell…"
(With Siegrain and Jea)
"I can see why you like Fairy Tail, particularly Erza, so much. However... they could get in our way. That Lucy girl especially." Jea pointed out.
"The blond girl is not a threat," Siegrain stated, waving Lucy off like she was a bug. He then spoke the last part to himself, "I've worked very hard to get this far, Erza. Do not stand in my way…" He then had a smirk on his face. (A/N 2)
(Council Courtroom)
Erza and Lucy were now in a giant meeting/court room, the other members of the council look at the two Fairy Tail members.
"This courtroom will now come to order," the frog woman stated. "Before us is the defendants, Erza Scarlet and Lucy Heartfilia." Erza and Lucy were glaring at Siegrain and Jea. "Please take the stands Ms. Scarlet and Ms. Heartfilia."
(Back at Fairy Tail)
Levi stood up, hating that two of her friends were in trouble. "This is wrong," she stated. "We should be there to help testify for both of them."
"Levy..." Kaku called.
"We're not going to court." Makarov said.
"Why not, Master!? We all know they're innocent! We can't just sit here and let them lock Erza and Lucy away!" Levy argued.
"Even if we left this very second, there's no way we'd make it there in time." Makarov denied.
"But...!" Levy exclaimed.
"I've been stuck under this stupid glass all day, you guys! It's getting hard to breathe! Come on! You gotta let me out of here!" Natsu complained.
"You sure you want out?" Makarov asked, making Natsu think, confusing everyone. "What's the matter? It seems you've lost the fire in your belly." He pointed out. Silence filled the air for two seconds before Makarov fires a blast of magic, knocking Natsu out of the glass and revealing Macao. ...Wait a minute.
"It's Macao!?" Nigai gasped.
"That was you!?" The guild asked.
"Yeah... Sorry, guys..." Macao answered, getting up. "But I owed Natsu a favor. I turned myself into a salamander so that everybody would think I was him."
(Flashback)
"Look everyone!" Romeo called out, hold his father by the tail. "My daddy caught Natsu trying to sneak away!"
"Here's your chance," Macao whispered to Natsu, who was hiding in the bushes. "I got you covered, now run."
(Flashback End)
"Do you know where Natsu ran off to?" Levy asked.
Macao looked a bit worried, not wanting to tell. But then Gray walked next to him, figuring out where Natsu was heading. "He went after Erza and Lucy, didn't he…?"
"Yeah…" Macao admitted, seeing as the jig was up. "Afraid so…"
"YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Elfman shouted in anger at Natsu's actions. "THAT IDIOT WILL PROBABLY TRY AND FIGHT THE WHOLE COUNCIL!"
"Would everyone just calm down," Makarov ordered. He then had a grave look on his face. "We've no choice but to wait and see what happens…"
Now everyone was worried.
(Back at Council Courtroom)
"Erza Scarlet and Lucy Heartfilia, you stand before the Council to answer the charges streaming from the incident involving the Dark Guild Eisenwald." One of the judges said. "These charges include extensive damage to Oshibana Station, the collapse of Reeyusika Gorge Railway Bridge, and the complete destruction of the Clover Meeting Hall for Erza Scarlet. There are 11 property damage charges against you. According to eyewitness reports, the perpetrator is described as a heavily armored female wizard. As for Lucy Heartfilia..."
Before the judge could explain Lucy's charges, an explosion resounds from behind Erza and Lucy, surprising them and the judges. "What is this!?" The judge that was talking exclaimed.
It was Natsu, in Fang's armor mixed with other metals parts to look like Erza's armor, wearing a red wig, making sure that his pink hair wasn't sticking out, and holding Fang's sword out. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH MY GUILD MATE!" Natsu shouted, trying to sound like Erza.
Fang facepalmed. "You might have raised your Intelligence… but this is still a stupid plan…" he groans out.
Natsu pointed his sword at the two. "I DEMAND YOU TWO STOP IMPERSINATING ERZA AND LUCY, IT'S KIND OF YOU TO DO THIS FOR ME AND HER, BUT WE'LL TAKE OUR PUNISHMENT! AS FOR YOU JUDGES!" He shouted, pointing his sword at the them. "DO YOU THINK PROPERTY IS MORE VALUBLE THEN THE LIVES OF THE GUILDMASTERS! AND FURTHERMORE, LUCY PAYED FOR ALL THE DAMAGES OUT OF HER OWN POCKET! SO, SHE COVERED ALL THE COST OF THE GUILD FOR THAT MISSION!"
Jea's face says what she actually says: "You're kidding. You're kidding, right?"
The main judge sighs before banging the gavel. "Take them away."
"I'm truly sorry for this, Your Honor..." Erza apologized.
Lucy groans, covering her face with her hands. "Why Natsu…?" she asked no one in particular.
"Uh, sir, we still need to go over Lucy's charges…" one of the council members pointed out.
The main judge groans, pinching the bridge of his nose, feeling a migraine. "Right… take those two away, and then take Lucy Heartfilia after we finish with her…"
"Lucy Heartfilia, you are under suspicion of using Dark Magic in order to stop Lullaby as well as for one other reason: To answer one simple question: What exactly ARE your powers?" The lead judge explained her charges.
Lucy sighs. "You want the quick explanation or the long one?"
"Please explain your powers as much as you are able to. So long as we are not interrupted, we have all the time in the world." Jea claimed.
"Okay, but first, any of you know what a Lacrima Gaming Console, or LGC, is?" she asked all of them.
The judges look at each other, a bit puzzled. The only ones that weren't were Jea and Siegrain. "So you have heard of them as well?" Jea brought up. The judges were now looking at Jea.
"Yeah, because my power is called [The Gamer]," Lucy told them. "I can live life like a videogame character. I was given his power by the goddess Gaia."
"You mean like God Slayer Magic?" one of the judges asked her.
Lucy was surprised. "There's God Slayer Magic like Dragon Slayer Magic?"
"Indeed." Jea said.
Cue: Keyblade Graveyard (Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep)
"God Slayer could be seen as a more powerful version of Dragon Slayer." Jea explained as she steps down and towards Lucy. "God Slayers are capable of absorbing the same element as themselves, even from the magic of a Dragon Slayer. No, not "even", especially, the magic of a Dragon Slayer of the same element." She told, the word "especially" highlighted in yellow if Lucy had subtitles on.
"Especially...?" Lucy repeated. "So you're saying that..."
"Yes. God Slayers are quite a bit more powerful than Dragon Slayers simply because the former can absorb the latter's magic whenever the latter attacks with it." Jea replied before Lucy could finish. "Say, for instance, a God Slayer of fire and a Dragon Slayer of fire would clash. Who do you think would win, Lucy Heartfilia? The God Slayer? Or the Dragon Slayer?" Lucy tried to speak again. "The answer is obvious. The God Slayer would be victorious for the God Slayer of fire would keep absorbing the Dragon Slayer of fire's magic. He would keep absorbing the Dragon Slayer of fire's magic until the Dragon Slayer had nothing left... and the God Slayer... would undoubtedly... end him." Jea declared, sending shivers down Lucy's spine.
Lucy's [Gamer Mind] refocused her, getting the chill out of her mind. She was keeping track of what Jae said, and even had titles on, she made sure to look at the mark that was shown, later. "I see," Lucy stated, calm again. "Now we're getting off topic of my [Gamer] powers."
"Yes, Lady Jae, you're getting off topic," one of the judges stated. "As you were Ms. Heartfillia."
Lucy sighs. "Well as I was saying, [The Gamer] gifted to me by Gaia. I can live life like that of a Videogame Character, I can get stronger faster them most people, gain items from enemies when I beat them, and get powers seen in and not seen in our world."
Jea looked in interest. "And one of them helped you defeat Lullaby?"
Lucy nodded in affirmative. "In a way, yes. I have an ability to summon heroic warrior from other plains of reality. Think of it like my Celestial Spirits, but I gain their power and armor. I was able to summon what can be described as a gain magic armor golem that I piloted. But only my guild members that were in my party could see what it looked like, anyone else would see me floating with a giant magical aura around me."
'... My... You were right on the money... 9S...' Jea thought to herself.
"That is an interesting ability you have there, Ms. Heartfillia," the judge stated. "Is there anything else we should know?"
"You needn't tell us everything all at once." Jea added.
Lucy nodded. "I can send messages of everything I can do and what I learn later on."
The judge nodded. "That's acceptable. We will send a messenger to you to fill out reports of your powers. Once a month sound far?" Lucy nodded. "Very well then. Now please take her to the cell with the other two." Lucy didn't resist and followed to the cells.
After she left, the judges look to one another. "I actually like that girl." One of the judges stated.
"Yes, she does seem to be better than her guildmates, that for sure," another stated.
"… I feel like she should be considered for a position of the Ten Wizard Saints," another stated.
"I think so to…" another agreed. "With that power of hers, she'd be a very good candidate for a new Saint."
(Cellroom: Nighttime)
Natsu, Erza and Lucy were in a holding cell at the Courthouse, thanks to Natsu's. Erza and Lucy were looking furious at him, the three sitting on the floor.
"Words can't express how angry I am with you…!" Erza growled at him.
"Yeah…!" Lucy stated, growling at him as well.
"The trail was just a formality…!" the both stated at the pinkette.
"Seriously…?" Natsu asked in shock.
"It' a glorified spectacle," Erza explained. "The council is using ma as an example to remind everyone that if you break the law, you'll be punished."
"Yeah, and they also need to add [The Gamer] to their list of magic uses and abilities, so that it can be know about it, if other's like us start appearing," Lucy added to the argument. "They need to make sure they're up to code on magic use."
"This helps them maintain order in the magical world," they both stated at the same time.
"Wait a minute. So this is all for show?" Natsu gasped.
"They probably would have found us guilty and sent us home with just slaps on the wrists. But thanks to you, we're stuck in this jail cell!" Erza growled loudly at Natsu, the latter yelling in disbelief. "I can't believe you..." Erza sighed.
"I'm sorry..." Natsu apologized.
"It's okay." Lucy replied. "You meant well." She said with a light blush.
"Yes. Fairy Tail wizards are quite caring for their members. Aren't they?" A familiar voice to Lucy and Erza asked. They turn and see Jea standing on the other side of the bars. "After all, you've seen this firsthand, Lucy Heartfilia."
Cue: Mourning -Choir + Organs- (Nier Automata)
"What the-? Why are you here?" Erza asked, on guard now.
"I have been curious for quite some time about you three. I have been wondering how you've obtained the powers you wield now. And... I've been thinking about what got you into this situation in the first place. In short... I want to know every bit of your memories." Jea answered.
"Memories?" Erza parroted.
"Especially you, Lucy Heartfilia. You see, the only thing I fear is the unknown. And what IS unknown is how you obtained the magic you have in the first place. You needn't worry, however. I won't tell them your entire life from the day you were born up until now." Jea assured.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked before Jea puts two fingers to her forehead.
"Heh. Begin Hacking." Jea huffed before Lucy could feel her head spinning, almost as if Gamer's Mind wasn't activating at all. After that, a cluster of 1s and 0s appeared from her head to Jea's hand.
"What... What's happening...? What... did you do...!?" Lucy groaned. "Why didn't [Gamer's Mind] activate...?"
"I'll be honest. Your [Gamer's Mind] has given me a bit of trouble despite being over 20 levels below my own. But that is of no matter now." Jea said before out of the 1s and 0s, she makes... a yellow cake. "Lemon cake, hm?"
"Did those 1s and 0s just form a CAKE!?" Natsu gasped.
"Ah. Right. You were asking for explanations. I am Countess Jea. I'll be the Magic Council's scout for every month of your life from this point onward, Lucy Heartfilia." Jea introduced herself. "Now about the cake I made from the 1s and 0s in your mind: This was made from the powers I have obtained myself. This is only possible because of my own Champion: YorHa Type S Model No. 9. But you can just call him 9S. Awakening his powers have granted me the ability to hack into another person's mind, whether they have [Gamer] Magic or not. You, of course, are no exception, Lucy Heartfilia. You needn't worry. All of your memories are completely intact. I've merely copied them and made this from the copies of your memories." She declared, referring to the cake. "Only I am able to taste the food I make from the copied 1s and 0s of the minds of my victims and only I can see their memories as if they were my own. You must be surprised about how there is a power that can bypass your [Gamer's Mind]."
Lucy's eyes widened. "Wait, don't tell me you're a [Gamer] too," she stated in shock. Erza and Natsu's eyes widened as well, turning to Jea as well.
Jea chuckles. "Indeed I am. My [Gamer Type] is [Dot Hacker]. Furthermore, like I said, I am the Magic Council's scout. If you are lying, I will know. Don't worry, though. I won't pry too much into your life and I won't tell them that you lied to me. All I want in exchange... is to know what you will do every month from now on." She said before drawing her attention to the lemon cake she made. "Speaking of which..." She trailed off before taking a bite out of the cake. She then suddenly has Lucy's memories from the day she was born to the moment Jea came to her jail cell. "Ah... Such a bitter yet sweet story... I give that... a 78 out of 100." She ranked.
Lucy had an anime tick mark, an angered smile, and a aura of anger at Jea's comment. "Oh, I'm so sorry my GODSDAMN LIFE STORY isn't the best…~!" she stated, greeting her teeth at. "What else do you want from me, my keys to add to it for more flavor…~!"
Jea laughs at her anger. "I didn't say I didn't like it, you know~!" She brushed off. "Ah... Anger... Truly amusing when it's so... harmless~"
"What's that suppose to mean…?" Lucy and Erza asked.
"Oh, you will know. Now then... On to the next~" Jea said, moving on to Natsu. "...Hm... That hair color... Now that I look at it... it rings a bell in my mind..."
Natsu looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"It's just... No. Forget about it. I'm just going to copy your memories." Jea said before doing so and taking the copied memories and turning them into small red jellybeans.
Natsu looked confused. "What are those?"
"Hmm... I'm not sure myself. Pod." Jea called, having a small floating robot appear by her side. "Analyze this candy I have in my hands." She ordered. The robot does so.
"Analyzed." The robot, which has a male mechanical voice, said. "This is a spicy cinammon flavored type of candy known as Hot Tamales."
"Two uniquely flavored sweets I never had before in one day... How fascinating." Jea said, pulling out a large bottle of water out of her inventory just in case. She then eats one of the jellybeans. It was really spice. Jea was a bit uncomfortable to say the least. "...This might take a while..." She grunted, lightly coughing and drinking from her water bottle. "I don't have the full story yet. I'll eventually get to you too, Erza. For now, I suppose I'll have to wait until I see you again. Stay alive." She sent off as she leaves, eating the Hot Tamales along the way and drinking her water bottle each time the spiciness is too much for her.
"Well that was something…" Natsu stated.
Jea walks past Siegrain who was outside Natsu, Lucy, and Erza's line of sight.
"I see…" Siegrain stated to himself. "A Fairy Tail wizard came to her aid. Natsu Dragneel."
(Next Day: Fairy Tail Guild)
Lucy, Erza and Natsu where back at Fairy Tail, no worse for wear. Natsu was shouting in joy. "WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT FREASH AIR COULD SMELL SO SWEAT!? I'M GONNA BREATH IT IN ALL DAY!" He then started running around, breathing fire. "IT'S THE SWEET SMELL OF FREEDOM!"
Fang groans at his partner's action. "Why did I think it was a good idea bonding with you…?"
"Isn't he precious when he gets all excited~?" Mirajane asked happily.
"I can't believe all that stupid trial and arrest stuff was just for show... All that worrying for nothing..." Levy groaned.
"So they WEREN'T a sacrificial lamb... but scape goats." Gray said, hitting his fist into his hand.
"You must be one heck of an ice wizard, cause even your jokes leave me cold..." Elfman pointed out. "Hey, Natsu! You ever gonna finish going man-to-man with Erza?"
"Uh-oh..." Levy let out.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Natsu smirked. "So what do you say? Wanna pick up where we left off?" He asked Erza.
"I'm not in the mood right now." Erza grunted. Natsu ignites one of his fists in flames.
"I'm not letting you off the hook that easy!" Natsu exclaimed as he ran towards Erza.
"I swear..." Erza sighed before standing up and punching Natsu in the gut hard enough to knock him out. "How's that? Are you satisfied?"
"And he's out!" Happy declared, Elfman and Gray laughing.
"Way to go, champ!"
"Guess we now know who the real man is!" Gray and Elfman respectively exclaimed.
Lucy sighs at them but had a kind smile.
Mirajane giggles a bit, but then sees Makarov grunt in frustration. "Sir, is something wrong?"
"I'm fine," he tells her. "Just sleepy." Mira looked at him in confusion. "He's coming."
Just then, Mira fell over on the ground with a thud, asleep.
Lucy, Natsu and Erza turn to see this.
"Not again…" Gray groans out.
"W-What's going on…?" Lucy asked, looking worried.
"I know what's going on," Natsu and Erza stated.
The rest of the guild was starting to fall asleep.
Makarov looked in shock at the three awake. "How are you three not effected…?" he asked them.
"I think it's [Gamer's Mind]," Erza told him. "Sense sleeping magic effects the mind, we're protected from it."
Just then a man in a cloak, holding a staff walked in. He was walking past everyone, not noticing Lucy, Natsu and Erza. He was walking to quest board.
"Mystogan…" Makarov, Erza and Natsu stated quietly.
Lucy walked up to him, looking mad. Erza and Natsu tried to stop her. "Hey you!" Lucy shouted, grabbing Mystogan's shoulder. "Why the hell did you put the guild to sleep!?"
Mystogan looked to see Lucy and was a bit shocked to see he fully awake and moving. "How are you awake? You should be asleep right now?"
"It's not just her, Mystogan." Erza pointed out.
Mystogan turns to see Erza and Natsu were up as well. "H-How? My Sleeping Spell should have worked."
"Yeah, that's not going to happen thanks to our magic," Lucy stated.
"Huh? But Natsu and Erza's magics are Fire Dragon Slayer and Requip," he stated, he grabbed the job he wanted off the board.
"And having a new power, [The Gamer]," Lucy added.
"… I would ask what that is, but I don't want to be seen for long, you three have already seen me," he stated, walking past Lucy to get to Makarov. "I shall return…"
"No, wait," Makarov ordered him. "Lift your Sleeping Spell before you leave." Mystogan said nothing, and walked away.
"Hey!" Lucy roars at Mystogan. "Didn't you hear master!?"
"Five," Mystogan counted, confusing Lucy.
"Why the heck is he counting for?" Haseo asked, looking confused.
"Four. Three. Two. One." Mystogan finished counting as he leaves, everyone affected by the sleeping spell immediately waking up.
"Oh man, was Mystogan here?" Jet asked.
"What a jerk..." Droy groaned.
"Does he have to put us to sleep every time he comes here?" Levy rubs her tired eyes.
"W-Who's this Mystogan guy?" Shinkei asked.
"For one, he's a contender for Fairy Tail's strongest wizard." Elfman answered.
"Really?" Kokoro hummed.
"Yeah. And for some reason, he doesn't want anyone to see his what he looks like." Gray nodded lazily. "So whenever he comes here to take a job, he casts a Sleeping Spell."
"That's... kind of creepy." Nigai pointed out.
"Master Makarov's the only person here who's ever gotten a good look at his face. ...Well, until now, that is." Gray pointed out the [Gamers] in the room.
"That's not true. I've seen him before." Someone suddenly said from upstairs.
"Laxus?" Elfman asked in surprise.
"Talk about rare," Macao stated.
"You're never here," Wakaba stated.
"Who's this smug asshole?" Ichigo asked.
"And here's another contender," Gray stated.
"He seems like a jerk…" Lucy stated. She decided to look at her new [Gamer Plaza].
"Mystogan's just a little shy," Laxus stated, sound smug. "You should respect his privacy."
"All right, Laxus!" Natsu called, on his feet again. "You and me, right now!" He exclaimed as he uses [Observe] on him.

"Getting your butt kicked once today wasn't enough?" Gray asked, a deadpan look on his face.
"Yeah, pal," Laxus started, his smug look looking darker, and taunting Natsu. "If you can't even win against the redhead, why bother with me~?"
"What are you trying to say!?" Erza growled.
"No need to get all worked up, Erza...!" Gray tried to calm her down.
"I'm saying that I'm the guild's strongest wizard." Laxus told.
"Then come down here and prove it!" Natsu provoked.
"You come to me, little man." Laxus counter-provoked.
"With pleasure!" Natsu shouted, running and jumping over the bar to the stairs of the second level.
Makarov then enlarged his left arm, slamming Natsu to the ground. Lucy and Erza saw "-200" come off Natsu when he was hit.
Fang winced at his partner. "Oh… That looked painful…" he stated.
"Did he really need to be that hard on him?" Excella stated, feeling sorry for Natsu.
"You're not allowed on the second floor, Natsu," Makarov scolded the boy. "At least, not yet."
Laxus gave off a smug laugh, at Natsu. "I think you made him grumpy."
"Shut up…!" Natsu growled at him, trying to get out from under Makarov's fist.
"That's enough out of you Laxus!" Makarov scold his grandson as well.
"The most powerful one in the guild isn't a chick or some hooded weirdo," Laxus stated, seemingly ignoring his grandfather. "You want to know what the strongest wizard looks like?" He then pointed his thumb at himself and boasted, "YOU'RE LOOKING RIGHT AT HIM!"
Haseo and Ichigo looked irritated at Laxus. "I really want to punch this guy…" they grumbled out.
Lucy rolled her eyes at Laxus' boasting. She finished reading the description of the [Gamer Plaza] and found out it was a place to buy items, like potions, materials, cooking items and much more. She had a screen that asked:
Do you wish to enter the [Gamer Plaza]?
Y/N
Lucy pressed the Y, and then the whole of Fairy Tail shifted, and all the members in the guild were now in a plaza.
"What the!?" Levy shouted in shock.
"What the heck just happened!?" Dori asked, looking lost and shock.
"Where we teleported?" Erza asked, getting ready for a fight.
"W-What the heck?" Lucy asked, not sure if this was her doing or not.
Just then, Lucy, Natsu and Erza got a skill notification.

"What in the heck is all this?" Natsu asked.
Just then, a pillar of ones and zeros appeared and what looked like a female tour guild formed from it. (A/N 3) The woman smiled at the guild. "Welcome members of Fairy Tail to the [Gamer Plaza]," she greeted to all of them, cheerfully. "I am your guide, Travel and Guide Artifice Intelligence, or T.A.G.A.I. for short~"
"Um, hi there..." Shinkei greeted back. "Do-Do you have a name?"
"I just gave it to you, it's T.A.G.A.I." she answered.
"Uh… Mind telling us how we got here then T.A.G.A.I.?" Wakaba asked the guild.
"That would be you guildmate Lucy's doing," T.A.G.A.I. answered. "She activated the [Gamer Plaza] to bring you all here."
The members of Fairy Tail looked at the blond. Lucy put her hands up. She then explained to them, "Hey, I didn't know this would happen. I thought it was going to be a screen pop up, not a whole dimensional pock thing. I didn't even know I could make something like this in the first place."
"Oh, is this your first time here?" Aina asked as she appeared.
"You're... Aina!" Shinkei gasped.
"You know her?" Natsu asked Shinkei.
"We do. She has saved us and even defeated AIDA monsters that I wasn't able to." Kokoro answered for Shinkei.
"She even invited us to her guild, Universal Wing. But we declined her invitation because, at the time, we weren't quite ready for a guild." Kaku said. "Thomas was the only one that accepted the invitation."
"Oh, you six ran into Thomas?" Aina blinked.
"Yep." Daishi nodded. "He and Erza were buddy-buddy too."
"Well, that's certainly interesting. You should tell me later. After all, now that we're together again, you can come to my guild, and-"
"Sorry, Aina." Nigai apologized, interrupting Aina who huffed in confusion. "Fairy Tail beat you to it. We're members of the guild now."
"...Oh. I see." Aina said. "...Well, this is awkward."
"Mind if I break this awkward silence?" A giant fly monster asked as it appeared. "Aina, you must feel quite disappointed."
"Yeah, a little bit." Aina scratched the back of her head before seeing the shocked expressions of, well, everyone.
"Who, or what the hell is that!?" Ichigo asked, making Fairy Tail look and see all the Champion Spirits were now solid and visible.
"Who the hell are you guys!?" Gray shouted.
This shocked the Spirits and asked in shock, "You can see us!?" They look at their bodies and saw that they were solid now.
"Ah, you are like that because of the [Gamer Plaza]," T.A.G.A.I. answered, smiling kindly. "Champion Sprits are able to move around and get items for the chosen [Gamer]. They'll return to spirit form when they leave."
"And I'm guessing that you guys are unable to see Beel's other form." Aina hummed. "Well, Beel?"
"Ah, right! Where are my manners? I have new guests! I should make myself more presentable." The fly monster known as Beel said before summoning a giant horde of flies that wrap the monster in a cocoon that, for some reason, gradually gets smaller until it shrinks to the size of an adult female. From the cocoon bursts forth a white haired woman. She wears a completely crimson and white outfit, with a white undershirt, a crimson waistcoat, crimson gloves, and a long crimson blazer. She wears a lot of fly-type trinkets, bracelets, and jewelry. "Ah... Here. I think you will find this form more comfortable to converse with." She declared.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Fiore and outside Fiore, meet Beelzebub, the Great Fly." Aina introduced.
"Aina, you know I have many other names. The Sovereign of Pestilence, The Warden of Decay, The Mistress of the Flies, and The Queen Crimson~ Pleased to make your acquaintance~" Beelzebub told dramatically like she's taking a role in a play. "Welcome to the [Gamer's Plaza]. Make yourselves at home."
"Uh, what is around here?" Wakaba asked.
"Anything through the multiverse, within reason," T.A.G.A.I. answered. "We have shops for all likes of weapons, crafting and forging items, and food stands for ingredients for cooking~ We also have a fighting arena for battling foes you fought before as well, as well as random fights, where you'll fight a copy of someone from the multiverse~ You can only fight in there, there is no fighting in the main plaza. I can give you a mag map of the [Gamer Plaza]. You just ask for what you're looking for and it will direct you to the nearest store that has what you're looking for~"
"Did you make all of this?" Happy asked Beelzebub.
"Yes, I did. You'd be surprised on what you can make from the fabric of darkness." Beelzebub answered, repeatedly wiping off some sweat from her face with a tissue.
"Gaia and the other gods did help her out a bit," T.A.G.A.I. added.
"Did you say, "other gods"?" Erza repeated.
T.A.G.A.I. nodded to Erza. "I did~ Gaia's gift, [The Gamer], was so well received by others, that other gods wanted to make their own as well, and got permission to may I add~ Your world is the first to have more then one [Gamer], sense you all use magic to begin with. And sense a lot of you can use magic from gods, this isn't that far off of God Slayer Magic~"
Beelzebub pouted. "At lease let them think I did most of the work on making this add on the old skill… At least they were fine with my idea for giving them magic items throughout the multiverse."
"Wait, what's a Multi-verse…?" Levi asked.
"A multiverse is a hypothetical group of multiple universes. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them." Beelzebub told.
Levy looked in awe. "That sound amazing~ I wonder if I can make new Solid Script spells from things I've never heard or seen before…"
T.A.G.A.I. smiled brighter. "Glad to hear your excitement~ I hope you all enjoy your visit and find anything you want~ If you need anything, just call me and I'll show up~"
"You can also ask me, and I will answer your questions as well." Beelzebub added.
With that said, the members of Fairy Tail went to look at the items of the [Gamer Plaza].
(Team Natsu)
Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray and Happy were in a on a street that had many different armors and weapons. Erza looked like a kid in a candy store.
Lucy looked at one weapon in particular with great interest. It was a scythe, but it was kind of styled like her Avatar, Skeith. "What's this?" She asked.
"That is a weapon that only Haseo, or in this case, you, can use, as you bear the First Phase of Morganna, the Terror of Death. The weapon is simply known as Ticking Death." T.A.G.A.I. answered. "Every time you hit an enemy with its blade, you gain a portion of the damage you inflict as HP and gain less MP than the amount of HP you gain."
Lucy whistled. "That sounds useful," she stated, looking at the weapon in awe. "How much is it?"
"10 Astral Keys." T.A.G.A.I said.
"Astral Keys?" Lucy repeated.
"Astral Keys are big floating keys required to obtain Lost Weapons from The World R:2. Ticking Death is one of them." Haseo explained.
"Uh… And where would I find those in FIORE?" Lucy asked in a dead pan. "… Unless I can get them through the I.D. Create monster dungeons, the Arean, and/or quests."
T.A.G.A.I nodded. "There are two that are prizes for single and group battle."
"Plus, there's the Multiversal Archives." Beelzebub brought up. "It allows one to enter the history of a Champion's universe and obtain items from it. These items include weapons, armor, accessories, and, yes, the aforementioned Astral Keys."
"Okay, this place is awesome," Lucy stated, looking in awe.
"Holy hell Erza!" Natsu shouted getting three attention. "That sword is huge!"
"Aye sir!" Happy agreed.
Indeed, Erza was wielding a city size sword… with one hand. T.A.G.A.I, Beelzebub and Lucy's jaws hit the floor.
"Mr. Scralet," T.A.G.A.I called out. "How are you wielding that? That's for only high tear level wielders."
"What do you mean? I looked at the Strength stat that was required and saw that I had a Strength stat that was above the requirements." Erza replied.
"What do you mean by-?" T.A.G.A.I looked at the requirements, and her eye twitched. "Someone messed with that stats… That should be 200 STR not 80…" She sighs, but then sees an added part. "Oh, it says there was an update to it, and says any warrior class can wield it, so that's why it's so low. And it gets stronger the higher you get your STR up."
Beelzebub clears her throat. "Anyway. As I was about to add, any universe you visit will give you Astral Keys whenever you complete a chapter. There are also comic books, manga, and DVDs for you to read or watch. Once you do, you are given an Astral Key once you complete either a comic book, a manga chapter, or a scene from a DVD."
"Thank you for the information," Lucy thanked the two.
"You'll find the records, books, manga, and DVDs you're looking for in the library around here," T.A.G.A.I stated.
"There are also some games you could play at the game tables. You'll find out what you can play as soon as you sit down on one of them. They increase your luck as you keep playing them." Beelzebub added.
"Those you can find in the casino or arcade," T.A.G.A.I added.
"Holy whoa, this place is freaking awesome~" Natsu stated.
Lucy looks to her team. "Let's get those items~! I want to get that weapon and whatever Erza has he fancy on~!"
"Right~!" they all agreed.
(Team Shadow Gear)
Levy, Jet and Droy were in the library of the [Gamer Plaza]. Levy was reading books with her Wind-Reader Glasses. She was looking through a universal dictionary.
"This is so fascinating," Levy stated, looking happy. "So many things out there."
Jet and Droy nod in agreement.
"Like this, a Jetpack;" Levy stated, pointing to a word, "a device worn over the shoulders like a backpack and enabling the wearer to travel through the air or space by means of jet propulsion. That would be useful for flying around. Or this, a force field; an invisible barrier of exerted strength or impetus. That would be a useful defiance spell to have."
"I think I've learned a few other plants as well," Dory stated, looking at a universal botany guild. "There are some interesting plants around the multiverse."
"Truly a wonder for the eyes, isn't it?" A feminine voice asked. The three look around and see Aina reading a book of her own before looking at Shadow Gear. "Hellooo~"
"Hi," Levi greeted. "I can't believe something like this is posable. Is [The Gamer] really this strong, to make dimensions like this?"
"Indeed it is. Such power dwells within many users of [The Gamer]. There are even Champions capable of destroying entire planets that a [Gamer] can command." Aina declared, flipping pages in the book she's reading.
"THEY CAN WHAT!?" the three shouted in shock.
"Oh, you didn't know that? Oh. Wait, that's right. You weren't there when Lucy commanded Skeith, the Terror of Death who used to be controlled by Haseo, one of her Champions." Aina realized as she kept flipping the pages.
"… Now I'm worried…" Levy stated, sounding worried about this.
"Calm down. Most Champions would have to be in the wrong hands in order for them to destroy a planet. And so far, none of them are. ... Though. I could think of some... villainous Champions that could survive if such an event were to occur." Aina suddenly spoke as she stops turning the pages. "A brother of my own Champion, for one thing."
The three let out a sigh of relief. "Well that's good to know," Levi stated, going back to her reading.
"Hey, you know any plants that could work for my magic?" Droy asked.
"And anything for my Speed Magic?" Jet asked.
Aina chuckles. "I don't know about plants or speed. You might need to talk to another Universal Wing member."
"… Can you point us to where we can find one…?" they asked flatly.
"Hmm... Not a plant user, but I can probably take you to the fastest." Aina said.
Droy lets out a sigh of while Jet just nodded. "Let's go then."
"I'll just look through the books," Droy stated, sighing.
(Wakaba)
Wakaba had just stumbled upon a store the was call "Magic Smokes". "Well, wonder what they have here?" he asked himself, walking in. When he did, he saw that there were different kinds of cigars, cigarettes and pipes. There were ones that that can help with smoke magic and other spells.
"Interesting bunch, aren't they?" A big man with a big sword asked, a cigarette of his own.
"Yeah," Wakaba nodded. "I do use Smoke Magic, so this place is like a candy store. Name's Wakaba Mine."
"Dai Jin." The man said.
"Nice to meet you," Wakaba stated kindly. "You the owner of this shop?"
"Yeah." Dai nodded.
"Got anything good that would be good for my magic?" Wakaba asked.
Dai nodded and pulled out a giant smoking pipe, the head looking like a pot, two areas that look golden with engravings on it, a black body and a white tip to smoke from. (A/N 4) "Don't know if you can even carry it, though." Dai pointed out.
Wakaba grabbed it and lifted it. It was a bit heavy, but he could get use to it. "Not bad~ I'm guessing this can also be used for fighting, due to its size?"
Dai nodded. "The man who used this, Morel Mackernasey, could not only make use of it with his ability with smoke, but it was made to be a melee weapon for when a enemy got close. This is a replica, made to be used with magic, instead on Nen."
"Nen?" Wakaba asked, confused.
"Lindsey should be able to tell you about it. I don't know much about it, and I don't care to know any more about it." Dai shrugged.
Wakaba shrugged. "Eh, I'll ask her later, need to know what I can do with this thing with my Magic. So how much?"
"For this? Eh. It was taking up space. I'll give it to ya for, I'll say... 20,000 Jewel." Dai shrugged.
Wakaba whistled, and gave him the money. "Here, I'll take it."
Dai takes it. "Sold."
Wakaba took the smoking weapon, smiling. "Going to have to practice this thing~ I'll come back later to fine more good smokes when I can." He then turned and walked away, waving. 'This is going to be awesome.'
(Laxus)
Laxus was battling in the arean of the [Gamer Plaza] and having the time of his life.
"Someone's having fun." A speedster-looking lady noted as she appeared. She has a pink punk hair, boots with wings on them, armlets with wings on them as well, a white tank top, and blue shorts.
Laxus gave her a cocky smile, pointing his thumb at himself. "I'm just proving I'm the strongest person in my guild. I'm guessing you're my next opponent~?"
"The strongest, huh? Sure, I'll take you on. Name's Haiyai Onna." The woman introduced herself. "My AGI stat is off the charts compared to the other members of Universal Wing."
Laxus just gave an arrogant laugh. "You won't last, all I need is to hit you once with my lightning~" As he said that he activated his lightning magic.
"Oh, we'll see." Haiyai replied as she stretches her arms and legs. "I'm still pretty tough myself. My Vitality and Wisdom will surprise you if nothing else."
"All I need is to grab your neck~" he stated menacingly.
The battle horn sounded, starting the fight. Laxus disappeared in a flash of lightning and was in front of his opponent. He went to grab her neck.
Haiyai simply tilted herself back to avoid the grab. She still whistles like she was impressed. "Lightning, huh? A speed faster than sound..." She hummed before backflip kicking Laxus, knocking him into the air faster than when he tried to grab her neck. "Tough luck, buddy. I'm faster." She told before Laxus lands on his feet, curious. "Pop quiz... uh... Laxus." She said, using [Observe] on him. "Which is faster: Lightning or light itself? I'll give you a REALLY big hint: My speed rivals one... and surpasses the other."

He had gained some EXP from all the fighting in the area.
Laxus still had his cocky smile. "Lightning, if it's Dragon Slayer…~" His lightning aura intensified, and he seem to gain scales on his face. When he did this, his stats went up.

"Now that you've seen this-" He vanished in the blink of the eye, his speed tripled thanks to his Dragon Force, "I can't let you tell the other!" He was behind her now, and punched her in the face, sending her flying. He then grabbed her leg, and slammed her in the ground, Hulk style. "You think you can beat me!? THE STONGEST OF FAIRY TAIL!?"
"... You think this is all I've got?" Haiyai asked back before her leg suddenly glows and kicks Laxus with enough power to make him let go of her. "Gotta say, though. Didn't expect you to get even faster or have Dragon Slayer magic, for that matter. Well... doesn't matter anyway." She shrugged before pulling out a small sword and appearing behind Laxus, weapon to his neck. "Just so you know, this is not even remotely close to this weapon's full power." She warned. "Sting all enemies to death..." She growled lowly before putting her hands on Laxus's collarbone, her weapon transforming into a gauntlet with a single needle on her finger. "[Suzumebachi]."
Laxus attacks, but Haiyai dodged the attack and appeared behind him again, her transformed weapon raised before she counterattacks, landing a slash on his chest. From that slash appeared a butterfly-like mark on his chest which expands. "The hell is this?"
"That's the power of my [Zanpakuto], [Suzumebachi]. Whenever I strike someone with this weapon in its released state, it leaves a butterfly mark on where I struck them. A strike in the same spot... will instantly kill them." Haiyai explained her new weapon's ability, her expression serious, but cocky.
Laxuxs growls at her, but then smiles cockily at her again. "Well then, I was hoping to save this spell for when I take Fairy Tail, but I think I could use the practice." He put his hands close to one another, his right facing up and his left facing down, a ball of light forming in the middle. "No amount of speed will save you from this. Fairy Law!" He then turned his hand left hand up and clapped them together, sending out a bright light.
"CRAP!" Haiyai exclaimed, trying to protect herself, but Aina suddenly appeared and blocked the attack completely.
"I think that's enough showing off. Not that I'm one to talk~" Aina chuckled.
"Aina!" Haiyai gasped.
"So. Did you three enjoy the show? Or do you wanna see more?" Aina asked the members of Shadow Gear who were also there.
"What the- How did you stop Fairy Law!?" Laxus roared. "It can be stopped!"
"Actually, it can. My blocking provides a neat little barrier against attacks that are neither physical nor non-elemental projectile related. Furthermore, I raised my level manually." Aina answered.
"Raised your level? What the hell are you talking about!?" Laxus growled.
"My [Title], [Hidden Power], allows me to manually lower and raise my level any time I please in exchange for increasing the possibility of obtaining items from enemies. The lower my level, the higher the possibility. However, I can only raise my level to its maximum, that maximum being... 100. For now, at least. Another [Title] I have, [Partially Hidden Power], makes sure that the only stats that are affected by [Hidden Power] are my HP and MP. It also ensures that fellow [Gamers] would only read the appropriate amount of [Titles] I have equipped depending on my lowered level." Aina explained. "Oh, I'm sure all of this is going over your pretty little head, isn't it~? After all, you yourself aren't a [Gamer] yet."
"Then I'll just force whoever gave people these powers give me one," Laxus stated, walking away. "I'm done with this."
"Aw, it's bad behavior to leave after an audience sees something they have never seen before~ Isn't that right? Shadow Gear?" Aina asked Levy, Droy, and Jet who were, again, also there.
"… Why are you three here…?" Laxus asked, glaring at the three.
"Well, I was doing a favor for the fastest of those three, Jet, was it? Anyway, he asked if he could talk to Haiyai, the fastest member of my guild, Universal Wing, and, well, all of a sudden, we came across the two of you fighting, and... the rest is history~" Aina explained.
Laxus narrowed his eyes at the four. "How much did you four see…?"
"Uhhh..." The trio of Shadow Gear hummed, trying not to say anything.
"We saw the whole thing~" Aina bluntly stated with a smile on her face.
"TRAITOR!" Shadow Gear accused Aina.
"But if you're going to be angry at someone, be angry at me. After all, you wouldn't be the "strongest in all of Fairy Tail" if you weren't in Fairy Tail in the first place, right?" Aina pointed out before removing a glove. "Here." She said, giving the glove to Laxus. "Slap me with it and I'll gladly accept the challenge."
"Why should I waist my time with a weakling like you, who only knows defensive magic~?" Laxus taunted her. "I bet you're worthless and have nothing to show~ You're just a coward who's to scared to come down here and face me herself~ I'll take care of those three, so they don't ruin my plans." He then fired a lightning shot at Shadow Gear, going to silence them.
Just then T.A.G.A.I and Beelzebub appeared out of nowhere and stopped the attack. "Laxus Dreyar, you have broken the rule of not fighting outside the arena," T.A.G.A.I. stated in an icy one.
"The hell are you on about? Where in the arena," Laxus pointed out.
"Yes, but you attack people while they were in the stands and not actually participating," Beelzebub countered, pulling out her handkerchief.
"...Calling me a coward when you pick on the weak? Well, looks like we have a case of the pot calling the kettle black. And besides, Royalguard, or defensive magic, is not the only kind of magic I have. To demonstrate... how about a kiss from the star of Universal Wing~?" Aina asked, giggling. "Or better yet..." She trailed before suddenly teleporting behind Laxus and putting a gun to his head. "A kiss from this?"
Laxus used his lightning to move out of the way, then sends lightening into her through the gun. "Why should I care, like you said, they are weak. The weak died, the strong survive. I will not let anyone, or anything step in my way of my plans! Even you [Gamers]! I'll take that power for my own and use it to take what is rightfully MINE!" Turns up the voltage making her cry in pain.
"Aina!" Haiyai called. The voltage lets up for a moment... but Aina just chuckles and then laughs.
"So this is what it's really like! To take damage! ...Not really." Aina shrugged, revealing that it did 0 damage. "Good acting though. Right~?" She winked.
"What!? How!? Dragon Lightning damages everything!" Laxus roars.
Aina clicks her tongue three times. "Not quite~ See, with enough Wisdom, no magic can harm you. And, see, Wisdom is what I have. Oh, I have so MUCH Wisdom that most magic wouldn't be able to hurt me. Dragon lightning is no different. And Wisdom is what you sorely lack, Laxus Dreyar. Must be why you're trying to take over Fairy Tail yourself. You're a megalomaniac. And megalomaniacs have SO. LITTLE. WISDOM. In their actions." She shook her head, bemused.
Laxus grows at her, his anger getting higher. "You're only saying that because you have the [Gamer] magic! You'd be nothing without it! You're a goddamn weakling! You are nothing! Just a bug under me!" He then punched her in the neck, making her stop breathing for a few seconds.
Aina stood tall despite not breathing. "Now you're just lashing out for no reason." She said once she has her breath back.
Laxus took a deep breath, calming down, and got his cocky smile back on. "You're right, I lost my cool there~ You're not apart of my Guild, so you're not worth my time~"
"I think you'll find the opposite is true." Aina smiled back.
"And what do you mean by that…?" Laxus asked, getting his guard up again.
"Why... I could teach you how to not get kicked out of the guild~ After all, if you continue pursuing your delusions of grandeur, you will be knocked out your throne like the tyrant you are. Because when I look at you..." Aina trailed as she suddenly appears in front of Laxus... and gently caresses his chest. "I see a misguided man who fancies himself a king... and not someone to fear. Only... to pity."
Laxus gets angry after hearing that last part. "Pity… PITY! How dare you! I'm not some weakling that needs pity!"
"I'm not calling you weak. Just... tragic." Aina corrected.
He bats he hand away from him. "Why should I listen to a no name loser guild member? I've never heard of your guild at all."
"Well, I suppose that's because the other members might not have spread the word. Hmm..." Aina hummed.
"So a no talented guild that doesn't have anything or any connections," Laxus insulted.
"Eh. We just forgot to get some. Not like you contribute a thing for YOUR share of Fairy Tail's clout." Aina said before poking Laxus three times. " .Bones."
"And why should I show my full strength to weaklings~?" Laxus asked mockingly. "I'm strong, who care about them~? They don't matter at all~ Only the strong should be in our guild~"
"Uh, wouldn't Levi's magic be strong?" T.A.G.A.I. and Beelzebub questioned.
"Yeah, right, she can only use one word," Laxus stated. "Not that strong."
"A word limited by... imaaaginaaatiooon." Aina corrected, making a small rainbow over her head. "If certain words were used, who is to say she could not reach or even surpass your powers? For example... "chaos"."
Laxus started laughing. "Like that weakling could use a word like that with her pitiful magic power~!"
"Oh, you would be surprised how many people say that before they eat their words." Aina shook her head.
"How about a bet, she does use that world on me, if it does nothing, you and your guild are under my thumb, and will help me in my plans," Laxus wagered. Just to make sure, he added, "Or was all that talk a bluff~?"
"She may not be strong enough to use that word yet, but it was no bluff. It is a fact. Call me a coward if you want. It won't improve your chances." Aina said as she walks away.
"Well you just stated she's weak, and she's worthless because of that~" Laxus mocked. "That means I win the bet by defua-"
"I'll do it!" Levi shouted, making all of them look at said girl. "I'll use the spell!"
"Levy…" Aina called.
"Well, well," Laxus started, his smug voice coming back, "I appleade your bravery, foolish it maybe~"
"Levy are you nuts?" Droy asked his leader.
"Yeah, this s Laxus you're facing," Jet pointed out.
"Hey kid you don't have to-" Beelzebub tried to persuade her.
Lavi stopped them. "I want to do this; I want to see how far I have to go. I also want to try and change Laxus' opinion on the guild. I've read up on new words around the multiverse now and want to see if I can handle them. If I can use this word, I can use what I've learned." When Levi was finished, she had a determined look in her eyes.
Beelzebub sighs. "You remind me of a man I know, who was determined to get his goal… I hope you don't regret it." Levi was then teleported to the arena floor.
"Well then. I suppose I have no choice but to accept. But what's in it for me if this DOES work?" Aina asked Laxus. "No. Wait. I already know. If this DOES work, I expect you to be an actually good guildmate. For the rest of your life." She said, holding a hand out to Laxus for him to shake to accept the deal.
Laxus gave his coacky smile. "I can't wait for your guild to be under my rule~ And you as one of my women~" he stated, taking her hand, and squeezing it as hard as he could.
'Well, I can't exactly obey you if I'm not around~' Aina kept to herself.
He lets go of her hand, and turns to Levi. "Well~? What are you waiting for~?" he asked her.
Levi breaths in a breath to ready herself. She then writes in the air. "Solid Script: Chaos!" The word formed, looking like a chaos color blur.
'Here it comes...' Aina thought. Suddenly, the word started to glow brightly, almost affecting the entire plaza. Once the light faded... nothing happened.
"Ha! No effect! You lose, woman!" Laxus declared... in Levy's body, pointing at Aina. "...Wait." He realized then looked at his, or, rather, Levy's hands. "WHAT!?"
"Huh. Well, what do you know..." Aina hummed... in Jet's body. "Guess it's affecting you after all. Though, not physically." She said, acting like this has not been the first time she has body swapped with someone.
"Huh…" Beelzebu, in T.A.G.A.I's body, started, "Honestly thought she'd call some sort of chaotic storm… not switch our bodies."
"Well this is chaos magic, anything can happen," T.A.G.A.I., in Beelzebu's body, pointed out.
"Is THAT why I'm in Laxus's body?" Levy asked, in, in fact, Laxus's body.
"Anyone know a way to fix this…?" Jet asked in Aina's body.
"There should be a counter to this. Levy. Are you still able to use Solid Script Magic?" Beelzebub asked.
Levy tried, but all she got was lightning. "It seems not."
"I see... If Levy in Laxus's body can only use lightning, then... that means Laxus in Levy's body can use Solid Script..." Aina declared.
"… You have got to be kidding me…" Laxus stated in a dry flat tone of voice, Levi's face matching his tone. "This little shrimp actually did something powerful… Now I have to fix it…"
"You asked for it, Laxus. Think of this as your first step towards WORKING for respect." T.A.G.A.I. said. "Try using Solid Script to write out the word "Order"."
"That or "Undo"," Levi added.
Laxus grumbled. "How could I lose… How could this affect me, I'm strong…"
"Laxus." Beelzebub called, urging him to get this over with.
"I'm suppose to be the strongest…" Laxus said again, shaking, holding Lrvi's head. "I'm the most powerful… I can't lose… I'm the strongest…"
"… Uh… I don't think he's doing okay…" Jet stated. "I think he's having a metal breakdown…"
Beelzebub inhales deeply through T.A.G.A.I's nose before delivering a karate chop to Laxus, or rather, Levy's head.
Laxus went to yell at the devil in the AI's body, but took a deep breath to calm himself. "Thank you, I need that."
"Ah, so you remembered our deal..." Aina hummed.
Laxus said nothing looking away. Laxus then proceeded to use Levy's magic to undo the body swap spell. After everyone was returned to there bodies, Laxus started walking away, having a confused and melancholy look on his face.
Beelzebub stopped him by grabbing his shoulder. "Hey, I know you think power is everything, and it's most of it, but like you went through, power isn't everything."
Laxus didn't look at her, but said, "I need time to process all this… Reevaluate my thoughts on the members of Fairy Tail… and my philosophy… I'm… not sure if I'll do my plan now… or change it to be in line of what Fairy Tail represents… I… I see now that power comes in different forms… Levi having me swap bodies shows that…"
Beelzebub smirked in a kind manner. "Glad to see that that kick in the ass helped you."
He let out a huff but couldn't keep the smirk off his face. "I'm not to stubborn to admit when I'm beat. Coming here… may have been for the best." He then walked away, his path changed, for better or worse.
With team Shadow Gear, Jet and Droy were congratulating Levi on her win.
Just then, a beem of light shown down, and a being came down to look at the three. They looked regalr and had an air of knowledge of artistic about them.
"Which of you is Levy McGarden?" The being asked.
Levy raised her hand in a bit of fear. "T-That would be me sir…"
The being nodded. "Greetings, I am Tir, the Armenian god of language, schooling, rhetoric, wisdom and the arts.(A/N 5) I have come to announce that I have chosen you to be my champion of your own [Gamer] powers."
"R-Really!?" Levy gasped.
Tir nodded. "I've seen your magic, and it is everything in my divinity. I saw that you make sure to know the language of your world. You are a seek to learn as mush as you can though your own schooling. You use rhetoric in out only your writing, but in your actions as well. And wisdom in what you do in write and works well." He summoned a scroll, and had it float over to her. "This scroll will give you my version of [The Gamer]. It will absorb into you like how you would a skill book. I foresee great things in your future. And if you ever need books for learning, you will be granted 50% off all bookstores and places that sell books from my blessing."
"O-Oh wow! T-Thank you so much!" Levy exclaimed.
"It is no trouble my dear," Tir stated. "Now take the scroll and be my champion."
Levy took the scroll after it floated fully in her face. She tapped it, and it turned into particles that flew into her chest.
Congratulations!
You have been chosen by Tir to wield [The Gamer]! Your type is Psychic Intuition!
Levi now saw the world like the others, she was in awe, seeing what the other [Gamers] of Fairy Tail saw. "This is so cool~!" Levy shouted in awe.
(Fairy Tail Guild: End of the Day)
After everyone had returned from the [Gamer Plaza], new gear, items, and weapons in hand, it was now nighttime and most of the guild left after they. Lucy was sitting at the bar, having a drink, and wanting to ask Mirajane something.
"Hey, Mira, I've been wondering this all day," Lucy stated. "What was the master talking about earlier? Why can't we go up to the second floor?"
"That area's reserved for adavned members of the guild," Mira explained. "The jobs that are listed on the request board up there makes the one listed down here look like child's play in comparison. They're called S-Class Quest."
"S-Class?" Lucy parroted.
"They're job so dangerous, that one wrong move could be your last," Mirjane explained. "But with that risk, comes a higher reward."
Lucy smiles at this. "Sounds like video game 101, high risk, high reward. And for us [Gamers] high amounts of EXP for those missions."
"I guess so," Mirajane stated, smiling back. "Master Makarov hand picks wizards he thinks are capable of handling these jobs. There are only five people in the entire guild who are considered S-Class. That includes Laxus, Mystogan and Erza."
"I hope I can be S-Class; I want to help and explore the world more~" Lucy stated, excitement on her face.
Mirajane giggled. "I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, Lucy. In my opinion, there's no amount of money or EXP that worth risking your life over."
"Yeah, no kidding," Lucy agreed. "I'll wait until I get the promotion before I think about those quest~"
(Road to Lucy's apartment)
Lucy was walking by the water way to her apartment, ready to sleep.
'Wow,' Lucy thought in her head. 'Mystogan and Laxs. That was really cool to see. It's amazing how many famous wizards are in Fairy Tail.'
"Laxus is a bit of a jerk though," Haseo stated.
"I guess they can't all be friendly," Excella said.
"Either way, I'm starting to figure out how everybody's ranked within the guild. We'll need to start working our way to the top!" Lucy declared before she opens the door and finds Natsu and Happy training on her bed.
"Welcome home!" Natsu greeted as he was doing sit-ups.
"Sup!" Happy exclaimed as he was lifting a dumbbell that's small enough to lift but still large enough to give him a sufficient exercise.
"YOU GUYS ARE STINCKING UP MY ROOM!" Lucy shouted, doing a dropkick to Natsu's gut, making him wince in pain.
-100
"I told you this was a bad idea…" Fang stated, giving his wielder a deadpan look.
Lucy pointed to where her window was. "Why don't you jerks work out at your own house!?"
"Now Lucy," Natsu stated, rubbing his stomach area, trying to get [Gamer's Body] to make the pain go away, "if we want to work together like a team, we gotta train like one." He then pulls out a pink colored dumbbell for her from his [Inventory].
"We thought you'd like the pink dumbbell," Happy stated, poking around Natsu.
Lucy pouted, but took it anyways from Natsu. "I'll take it to get my STR up, but I'm not working out with you to morons…" She put it on her writing desk. "But I've told you guys to stop breaking into my house!"
Happy and Natsu were now doing pushups. "We gotta kick it up a notch if we want to beat Laxus and Erza," Natsu stated. "We need to get to use our [Gamer] powers to catch up faster."
"Aye, sir," Happy agreed.
Haseo groans. "They aren't even listening to you…"
Lucy sighs in frustration. "Guys, it's been a long day, and even though I can't get tired normally, I still like peace and quiet. I actually wanted to see if I could get [Meditation] as a skill. So please get out you two…"
"Don't worry," Natsu whispered, the two speeding up their pushups. "We'll train quietly, Lucy."
"Why does this keep happening to you?" Haseo asked.
"The hell if I know…" Lucy stated flatly.
"I've made a decision," Natsu stated, getting Lucy, Haseo, and Excella attention. "Our team is ready for the big time. S-Class."
"Yeah!" Happy cheered holding a S-Class Quest flier. "Check it out!"
"HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT!?" Lucy and Haseo roar at the two idiots.
Fang and Excella just face palmed, Fang muttering, "Why is partner such an idiot…?"
"WE'RE NOT EVEN SUPPOSE TO GO UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR!" Lucy and Haseo added to their angered shouting.
"Well I just climbed the stairs and took it," Happy stated like it was the most normal thing in the world.
"YOU LITTLE CAT BURGLAR!" Lucy and Haseo shouted again.
Happy just giggled at their reaction, while Natsu put his vest back on. "Sense this is our first S-Class, we decided to go with the smallest reward we found on the board. But seven million is still a lot of Jewel."
Lucy clapped her hand together in front of her face, taking a deep breath, then pointed her clapped hands to Natsu. "Natsu, as your teammate, I want you to know, this is insane. We maybe as strong as Erza, but this isn't something we can just jump into recklessly. If and when master found out we had this job, and no S-Class Wizard in our group to make it official, we'd get in trouble and infuriated at us."
"Yeah, but I think he'll end up being proud of us if we actually pull it off," Natsu stated with his toothy smile.
Lucy sighs. "You know, this may be the dumbest thing you've ever done, Natsu. All that INT and WIS for nothing. If you want to rise up the ranks, you should try following the guild's rules."
"Jeez, we're never gonna make S-Class with that kind of attitude." Natsu complained.
"You can handle this on your own. I'm staying right here." Lucy told.
"But the job is saving a tropical island." Happy pointed out.
"Doesn't matter." Lucy shooed. "Go away."
"It's the Cursed Island of Galuna!" Natsu and Happy exclaimed in a spooky way.
"WHY WOULD I GO TO A CURSED ISLAND!?" Lucy shouted, kicking Natsu in the jaw.
-400
"Ugh…" Natsu grunted. "Fine. We're out of here."
"Aye." Happy nodded.
"That's the best idea you've had all day." Lucy huffed before seeing Natsu and Happy use the window to exit. "Hold on. For crying out loud, would you use the door!?" She asked before seeing the S-Class paper on the floor. "What the!?"
"Clever boys…" Excella growled. "They left the job request here… If Lucy doesn't do anything about it, everyone will think she's the one who stole it…! We've underestimated them."
"Well, what do you wanna do?" Haseo asked Lucy who looked at the job request and picked it up.
"Wait, there's something else… On top of the giant reward… you also get a Gate Key!?" Lucy gasped.
"Huh. Well, what do you know…" Excella hummed in interest.
Lucy took a deep breath, then look to see that she got a Quest Notification appeared.
The Mysterious Curse of Galuna Island
The island of Galuna has sent out a Quest to find out about the curse on their island. You think you and your team can solve it?
Warning: The mission is an S-Class and will be dangerous then most missions because you are not S-Class.
Reward:
700,000 EXP
7,000,000 Jewels in Gold/Reward Money
Gold Celestial Gate Key
Fail Penalty:
Death
Y/N
"You know what," Lucy stated, smiling in excitement, and pressing the Y button. "Screw it! I'm going to get the Gate Key and keep an eye on those two." She then ran out to catch up to the two. "Hey guys! Wait up! I've decided to join you! I've changed my mind and I'm coming with you! You guys roped me in!"
Natsu and Happy were smiling, knowing their plan to rope Lucy in succeeded.
(Fairy Tail Guild: Next day)
It was the next day at the guild hall when Mirajane ran down from the second floor in worry. "Master!" she called out. Makarov was having what looks like a hot cup of tea, smiling happy at the nice day. "I don't know what happened, but one of the S-Class Quests is missing!"
Makarov took another drink of his tea, utill what Mirajane stated caught up and did a spit-take.
Makarov has been affected by the status effect [Stun]
To be continued…
And that's chapter ten of the story. Finally finish it.
Makarov: "NATSU IS GOING TO GET A SERIOUS PUNISHMENT WHEN HE GETS BACK!"
Kaizoku: He definitely is. After all, we both know the story. Don't we, Light?
Yep. Speaking of, we should get this posted, this is over fifty pages long. So I should post this.
Makarov: (Let's out a sigh) "Guess I should let you two be then."
(Nods) We should end this now. We hope you all liked this and the changes to cannon that we made. And hope to see you all next chapter.
Makarov: (Waves to the readers) "Be safe everyone~!"
Kaizoku: Ta-ta.
