Landing hard on the ground, Natsu and Gajeel started moaning. However, to top it all off, Erza and Lucy ended up falling on top of them and accidentally crushing them. Finally, Lily landed a little further, while Happy bumped his head against Lucy's, falling.

"OUCH" The blonde said, grabbing her aching head.

Then casting a look around her, she ended up asking.

"Hey, where are we?"

Suddenly, she took fright when she saw a gigantic fire. In fact, what surrounded it was a real city, covered in flames. Seeing this vision of hell, she began to panic.

"AHHHHHHHHH! There's only fire everywhere."

"Huh?" Natsu said.

Rocking Lucy from his back, he stood up, while Gajeel had to wait for Erza to imitate him to be able to do the same.

"Damn it! What's that bad joke?" Gajeel growled, looking around. "Where's the other fool? I'm going to strangle him."

"No need to look for him! I remind you that he disappeared when Natsu tried to attack him." Lily reminded him. "Now, if we want to see him again, we are forced to wait for him to show up on his own."

"What a puff." Natsu growled. "To say that I didn't even have time to hit him."

" For now, the most important thing is to know where we are. " Erza retorted. "And, to see what surrounds us, I have the impression of being in the middle of a huge inferno."

Still lying on the ground, Happy suddenly started screaming in pain, and got up quickly, showing his red belly.

"AHHHHHHH! IT'S HOT! I feel like I'm in an oven."

"Really?" Natsu wondered, barely sweating. "Me, I feel good."

"Stop showing off and eat those damn flames." Gajeel ordered him, as many drops of sweat could already be seen running down his face.

"There are far too many for me to do entirely." Retorted the salamander. "What could have set this place on fire?"

"Huh, say, where are Gray and the others?" Lucy wanted to know, seeing that their friends were nowhere to be found. "Don't tell me Teru managed to take them with him."

"No idea." Erza confessed. "I couldn't figure out what happened to us, after that guy left us! But I doubt he managed to take them with him! Hopefully, they can't be far from our position. "

"Well, if I can recap our situation, we absolutely must find our friends and find someone who can tell us where we are." Lucy understood, wiping her forehead with the back of her hand.

"Given where we are, it's not going to be easy." Gajeel stated, starting to get shirtless. "This place must be uninhabited! Who would live here?"

Suddenly, the sound of an explosion was heard, followed by a powerful roar.

"Hm?" Natsu said. " What was that ? "

"Natsu! Look at that." Happy suddenly advised him, pointing at something in the sky.

Looking up, the dragon slayer could only widen his eyes, seeing a red dragon in the sky, spitting a column of flames.

"A dragon... A red dragon?"

"Is…Is it Igneel?" Lucy asked.

" No." Natsu retorted. "It's a red dragon but... It's different."

"Igneel or not, how come there's a dragon here?" Gajeel wanted to know. "I thought he was all finally gone."

"Apparently, that's not the case here." Lily understood. "And now, come to think of it, nothing tells us that we are still in our time and in our dimension."

"Huh?" Gajeel wondered. "What are you trying to say?"

"The spell that this certain Teru cast... strangely, it was very close to that of the Anima! And have you forgotten what he said about his powers? I have the strange feeling that he took us somewhere that is far from our world."

"Hey, say no more! You're scaring me." Happy affirmed.

" In that case, let's go see this dragon. " Natsu decided.

"Huh? But why?" Lucy sounded frightened.

"If this dragon can talk, he'll be able to tell us where we are." Natsu assured, starting to run towards the giant reptile, followed by Happy.

"Anyway, we don't have a choice." Erza asserted, imitating her, as did Gajeel and Lily.

"Damn, why do they always have to be so oblivious?" Lucy wanted to know.

Jumping over the sea of fire, Natsu had no trouble advancing, and even sucked in some flames, when they started to form a wall in front of him.

"As a training ground, this place would be perfect for me." He affirmed. "Once tired, I would only have to eat flames, before going back to training with a vengeance."

"I could never survive here." Happy retorted, dropping onto his shoulder so much that the heat was suffocating. "For once, I wouldn't say no to Gray turning everything into an ice cube."

He suddenly felt himself falling forward, while Natsu stopped short, surprising him as well. Falling back to the hot ground, Happy wanted to know.

"HEY! What's wrong with you?"

"The dragon." Natsu remarked.

Stopping behind him, the rest of the group could see the reptile flying through the sky, entirely decapitated as two figures floated past him before falling along with his corpse.

"But what…?" Lucy began. "That dragon just got slain?"

"Impossible!" retorted Gajeel. "He couldn't have been beaten that quickly! Or else he really is a very weak dragon."

Resuming his run, Natsu rushed to the place of the reptile's fall. However, he stopped again again, as his hearing managed to hear the sound of a voice.

"Legs! Come back here, legs."

" Hum ? Who is h ... ? "

Not having time to finish his sentence, he was suddenly hit by a figure wearing an orange kimono. Flying backwards, Natsu crashed into what seemed like a wall while the other figure fell to the ground, in an area filled with flames.

"Hey, are you crazy?" Natsu wanted to know, getting up.

Arriving suddenly, Lucy could see the body that had hit Natsu, resembling that of a samurai given his clothes and the wooden sandals he wore on his feet. Seeing him with his upper body disappearing into the flames, she began to scream.

"He's burning."

"What?" Natsu said, getting up.

"We have to get him out of there." Erza remarked, grabbing him by the legs.

Immediately pulling him out of the flames, she allowed the others to see his entire body. However, his five friends turned pale, noticing that the upper body part was missing. This body had neither head nor abdomen. There were just his legs and his pelvis.

"You killed him." Happy cried, thinking the other part had already been reduced to ashes. "Natsu killed someone."

" We need to find the other part. " Natsu declared, with a distraught face. "Then we'll glue them back together."

"As if that could work, you idiot." Gajeel retorted.

Feeling then a flame begin to burn the little body he had left, the ''corpse'' of the samurai began to scream.

"AHHHHHHHHH! IT'S HOT!"

There was then a long minute of silence, while the small group looked at the body of the samurai, wondering if they had not been hallucinating.

"He…he spoke?" Lucy wondered.

"Impossible, he should be dead." Lily assured.

Wanting to prove otherwise, the samurai suddenly stood up before asking.

" Who is here ? "

"AHHHHHHHHHH! A ZOMBIE!" Natsu and Gajeel shouted, before punching him simultaneously.

Seeing the corpse fall to the ground, Lucy wanted to know.

"What are you making?"

" It was a reflex. " The two boys assured, still surprised by what they had just seen.

Looking, meanwhile, at the flames where the samurai had fallen after bumping into Natsu, Erza finally noticed.

"He was only there for a few seconds! There's no way his whole upper body could have disintegrated so quickly."

"Wait, you're not saying…" Lily began.

"This samurai was already like this, before we met him."

" A ZOMBIE ! " Shouted Happy et Lucy.

"Stop screaming." Lily moaned.

"Legs." They suddenly heard. " Where are you ? "

Long arms suddenly came out of a wall of flames and wrapped around Natsu.

" But that … ? "

"This time, I've got you."

Then rocketing like a rocket, a young man came out of the flames and crashed into Natsu, knocking him to the ground.

"Hey! Are you going to stop knocking me down?" He got angry.

"Huh?" The newcomer said, looking at him.

Finally releasing him, he let his arms return to normal length before standing up. Then, looking at the people around him, he asked. "

" Who are you ? "

" We could ask you the same thing. " Retorted Gajeel. " Who are you and where are we? And why is this place covered in flames? "

"Wait." Lucy stopped him. "Before that, I would like you to tell me what this thing is."

Seeing her pointing at the ''body'' of the samurai, the young man began to lengthen his smile while rejoicing.

"So cool! You found my legs."

Stretching his arms again, he grabbed the samurai's body and pulled him towards him. "

"I really thought they were gone! They run really fast."

Nevertheless, this simple gesture surprised the people in front of him.

"His arms..." Happy said.

"They stretched." Lucy spooked.

"WOW! I've never seen anyone do that." Natsu affirmed. "Are you a wizarg too?"

"A wizard ?" the man repeated. "Um no,…I just ate a devil fruit."

"A devil fruit?" Gajeel repeated.

Feeling the onset of a migraine, he groaned.

"Damn it! Are you going to tell us who you are?"

"Me? My name is Luffy."

Then, putting his straw hat back on his head correctly, he assured.

"I will be the man who will become the king of the pirates."

"But what…?" Lucy wondered, seeing a huge pile of meat not far in front of her. "Tell me I'm dreaming."

"Yum, the meat is ready." Luffy affirmed, running towards the meat along with his companions.

" Hey, there's Luffy again. " Zoro remarked, starting to eat a piece of meat. "And he's not alone."

"Huh?" Usopp and Robin wondered, turning around.

Spotting the four Fairy Tail Mages, Usopp immediately pulled out his slingshot, before asking.

"Who are you? Are you inhabitants of this island?"

"Unbelievable! So it was those guys who killed that dragon." Gajeel remarked, approaching the dragon's head, which was resting in a corner.

" It's not that I'm thrilled to see him like this, but I'm glad it's not Igneel. " Natsu affirmed.

"Hey, I'm talking to you." Usopp shouted. "Are you enemies?"

Seeing him threatening them with his weapon, while Zoro already had a hand on his sword, Lucy decided to make his group look like simple passers-by.

" As long as the others don't use their magic and Happy and Lily don't say a word, you should be fine! Let's see if we can get information out of them without getting in trouble. »

"No, not at all! We just got lost here trying to get to our island! We have no idea where we are let alone who you are."

" Really? " Zoro wondered, especially surprised by the fact that they didn't recognize Luffy.

"Yeah, it looks like our compass broke." Lucy continued. "That's why we had to go to this island! It's bad luck, isn't it?"

Nevertheless, she suddenly fell silent, seeing Zoro pull out his saber entirely.

"Do you use a simple compass to navigate?" Robin repeated.

"Huh…yes." Lucy affirmed, not understanding her mistake. "Isn't that normal?"

"Which island are you from?" Usopp wanted to know.

"Magnolia." Erza affirmed, having no other idea.

"It's an island close to here." Lucy affirmed, trying to put them at ease. "Nevertheless, to return home, we just want to know the name of this island."

"Magnolia?" Luffy repeated.

Wanting then to know if she was lying or not, Robin ends up saying.

"Don't you know this place is run by Whitebeard, one of the four yonkos ?"

And before Usopp and Zoro could ask her what she was talking about, Lucy immediately affirmed.

"Of course we know! Besides, we know him personally."

This time, even Luffy started to look at her strangely. Seeing this, Erza affirmed.

"I think you said something stupid."

"What?" The blonde wondered.

" There is a possibility that you don't know Luffy. " Zoro affirmed. "Nevertheless, I find it very hard to believe that you don't know that it's impossible to use a compass here, just like the fact that Whitebeard has been dead for two years."

"Come on, tell us the truth." Robin said, crossing her arms. "Who are you ? "

" If we told you the truth, you probably wouldn't believe us. " Retorted Gajeel.

"Always try."

" Wow, that's so good. " Natsu stated suddenly.

Turning around, everyone could see him with a piece of meat in his hand, while he started to eat, along with Luffy.

"It's the first time I've eaten dragon! I never thought it was so good."

"Yum, that melts in your mouth." Luffy chimed in.

"Natsu, what are you doing?" Happy questioned.

"What? It's not Igneel and then he was already dead."

"Don't you feel like cannibalism?"

"Even though I have the powers of a dragon, I'm still a human."

"How's that 'dragon power'?" Usopp wanted to know.

Then, lowering his gaze, he finally looked at the blue cat who had just spoken.

"That cat just spoke?"

"I can talk too." Lily affirmed.

"Wow, they're like Chopper." Luffy remarked, with stars in his eyes.

"By the way, you stretched your arms earlier, didn't you?" Erza questioned her. "You then told us about a devil fruit! What's the connection?"

"You don't know the devil fruits? " Zoro wondered. "It's even stranger! The more I hear you, the more I feel like you're not from this world."

"Actually, it might be." Gajeel affirmed. "If we are here, it is because of a man... a certain Teru! serve as soldiers for his boss."

"Teru?" Robin repeated. "The one under Kaido's orders?"

"That's the name of the man he told us about." Lucy remarked. " You know him ? "

"Wait, Robin." Usopp said, shaking. "When you talk about Kaido, don't tell me that's the Kaido I know."

"It is! He is indeed the man known as ''Kaido of the Beasts''! The most powerful man in this world and so strong that not even death can beat him."

"Seriously?" Usopp and Lucy panicked.

"Do you know him?" Erza asked. "So would you be able to tell us where we can find it?"

"No idea, and it's better that way." Usopp affirmed. "For your safety, you must never rub shoulders with this monster! It will kill you in a flash."

"Huh?" Gajeel said, turning his arm into a chainsaw. "Are you suggesting I'm weak?"

Advancing towards him just to scare him, the dragon slayer was surprised to be stopped by Zoro, who used one of his sabers to stop him. Unable to go any further, he backed away before affirming.

"Few people dare to stand up to me."

"Gajeel, I don't think this is the time to pick a fight." Lily retorted. "First of all, you would have to know where we are."

"From what we can tell, we're at Punk Hazard." Robin affirmed. "We are at the start of Red Line."

"Red Line?" Lucy repeated. "Where is that? I've never heard of it."

"I told you so." Lily affirmed. "We are not at home here. "

"Would we go back to Edolas?" Erza questioned him.

"No! Nothing they say reminds me of home." Lily retorted. "I believe this Teru took us to another dimension! His dimension."

"What?" Wondered most of the people in his group as well as the members of the Mugiwaras. "Another dimension, but how...?"

But while everyone tried to understand what was going on, two people preferred to just talk to each other.

"Wow! So you're a pirate?" Natsu wondered, continuing to eat. "And you want to become the Pirate King."

" That's it. " Luffy affirmed, imitating him. "And you are a mage? What can you do?"

"I wield fire."

"Seriously? Sounds like Ace's powers."

"LUFFY / NATSU!" the others shouted. "Now is not the time to make friends."

"Why?" they wondered, continuing to eat.

"Huh…just a moment…are you pirates?" Erza wanted to know.

"Is that a problem?" Zoro questioned him! And you, if I understood correctly, you are mages? Do you control magic? "

"The…the magic?" Usopp repeated, shaking. "Are you like witches?"

"I prefer mage." Erza affirmed, as the inside of her hand began to glow.

A sword then appeared, surprising the sniper.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! She really is a witch."

"That's great." Luffy affirmed, starting to jump around her. "How did you do that?"

"My magic allows me to control my armor and weapons that I store in an alternate dimension." She explained. "I can summon them at will no matter where I am."

"Armors." Luffy repeated. "Can you show me?"

Feeling her ego being flattered, Erza ends up making her body shine before allowing herself to be covered in huge black armor.

"Here is the armor of purgatory." She learned, dropping the end of a huge sword to the floor.

Trembling at the sight of his weapon, Usopp took cover behind Zoro, before belaying. "

"Hey, be careful what you plan to do with that! Otherwise, Zoro will cut through your armor."

Nevertheless, he finally shut up, seeing the man tremble. Not out of fear but out of excitement.

"Interesting." He stated, tightening his grip on one of his sabers. "Really very interesting."

" Me, my magic is close to the salamander. " Confirmed Gajeel. "Nevertheless, instead of fire, I control metal."

"And I can summon spirits." Lucy explained.

"Spirits?" Luffy wondered. "Can you talk to ghosts?"

"No! Mine mainly symbolize the signs of the zodiac, like the lion or the cancer."

"A crab?" Luffy understood, with a trickle of drool. "Can you summon it? I want to see it."

"NO WAY." Lucy retorted, realizing what he wanted to do.

"He's just like Natsu. " She remarked, remembering that they had had the same reaction.

" Too bad. " Luffy said, somewhat disappointed. "But… you look super cool to me."

"Wait, Luffy! What's cool about that?" Usopp retorted. "They are scary! There are two cats talking with them."

" We have Chopper. " Luffy sneered.

"There's this guy who can control iron and another guy who can do the same with fire."

"Franky has an iron body and also breathes fire."

"And these two women can..."

"We have Brook." Luffy simply retorted.

With these three words, he silenced Usopp, who had no argument to be able to say that these people were more bizarre than the skeleton of the crew.

"We have the weirdest crew of all dimensions together." Zoro understood.

"Besides, some of us have weird powers too." Robin reminded him, crossing her arms.

Like flowers, dozens of arms sprouted from the ground, startling Lucy. "

" What is that ? "

"Just like Luffy, I ate a devil fruit! These fruits, rare in our world, allow whoever eats them to acquire a specific power! For Luffy, it allows him to transform his body into rubber! And for me, to multiply and grow parts of my body where I want.

"So awesome." Natsu shouted. "Devil fruits, you say? Where can I find one?"

"Do you have that kind of power too?" Lily wanted to know, advancing towards Zoro and Usopp.

" No! I only need my swords to fight. " Zoro assured. "But don't think me harmless though."

"As for me, I'm a brave warrior of the seas." Usopp affirmed, still hiding behind Zoro. "Be careful or you'll taste my deadly attacks."

" He's the weakest of us all. " Zoro affirmed.

" OYE . "

" So, if I understand correctly, in our world, people are strong thanks to magic! But here, it's thanks to devil fruits. " Erza summed up. "We're also on an island but we don't know if Teru is there too."

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Natsu wanted to know, looking around. "Do you live here?

" No, we were cruising around when someone tried to send us a message. " Luffy explained to him. "He was asking for help because a samurai wanted to kill him."

"Speaking of samurai,…" Usopp began. "What's that thing clinging to you doing?"

Pointing at Luffy's back, he pointed to the samurai's lower body which was glued to him and made Luffy strangely look like a centaur.

"Did you see? I'm so classy! When I grabbed him, he tried to run away again! So I ran at him and we ended up like this."

" Of course I'm too jealous. " Natsu asserted, climbing on the samurai's back. "It looks like a real horse! All I need is a spear and it looks like a knight's fight."

"Yeah! Let's go." Luffy announced, starting to run, while Natsu clung to him.

Seeing them, the rest of the group could only think.

" They look alike like two brothers. " "

Finally Zoro declared.

"We plan to go around the island to help the guy who called us! What do you plan to do?"

"I think we can only do the same." Erza affirmed. "And then, in addition to Teru, we have three other people and a cat found! They are our Fairy Tail companions."

"Fairy Tail?" Robin repeated.

"That's the name of our guild," he explained Lucy. "It's a place where mages can come together to do a lot of work to make life easier for our country."

" A place full of people with powers. " Luffy understood, walking back to them. "Sounds insane! I really want to go."

"You won't regret it." Natsu affirmed. "There are plenty of powerful guys there! Like Mirajane, Laxus, Gildarts and the master! We have fun every day."

" Wow! Me, what I like is to live full of adventures and party with lots of banquets. " Luffy told him.

"Same! In that case, let's finish eating the dragon and go visit the island."

" YEAH ! "

Seeing them act like this, Lucy and Usopp sighed, while declaring.

"It always starts like this, before trouble comes our way."
