This story was brought up to mind when I thought back on Deformed Hero on Lamy's entrance into the story. I wanted to tell their story too so here you go! Hope you like what I've put together, R

26 July 2024: I decided the story was worthy of another chance. Maybe one person will read it, or nobody at all. I don't mind either way. To the three people who liked and saved this story a decade ago, I thank you for that. And I'm sorry I ghosted lol.

Jackal's Diary, September (?) X791
On the back of the cover of this journal: J A C K A L (drops of dried blood on both sides of the cover)
Oh my GOD! I'm so fucking confused. We were killed by those Fairy Tail insects and ended up in some empty world on gray clouds and snow! Fuckin SNOW! But that ain't the worst. All of us still have our inflicted wounds from before we all died. It burns right now. I found this book, journal or whatever, a day or so ago.
Fuckin' Sayla told me writing in a journal relieves "feelings". Seriously? What kind of B.S is that? Welp, it's my book now. Thank god it has a COMBINATION LOCK. Heh, these other dumb ass fools ain't never gonna find out the code.
September, X791
Hey, stupid book. We just got in a fight with some huge ass monsters. They looked like Godzilla griffins and shit. Our Curses are gone, and we fight like shit somehow. Lamy isn't fawning over me, thank god THAT'S over. Kyôka sucks balls at leading. We've passed this stupid tree three times now.
THREE TIMES!
I swear this bird can't see nothin'! Oh, I forgot to say who's all with me. Lamy, Mard, Kyôka, Sayla, Keyes, Ezel, Franmalth, Tampesta, Torafusa. Fuck you Silver. No sign of humanity anywhere. I don't even know what time it is. Thank god this weird calendar box thing tripped me (NO. It doesn't tell time, just the fuckin' date!) It looks shitty and old as dirt, but it works. Ezel totally shrunk too. We all used to be buff. Dying sucks. This blows.
Fuckin Fairy Fags
September 12, X791
Big news journal! Silver and Minerva's with us. I forgot her name honestly. The humanish fucker didn't ghost!
She told us she was killed by a thing in a shadow at night. What??
HAHA we scared the shit out of her when she found us. Today's been a fine ass day. The snow stopped and a dark gray moon floated in the sky. I've learned some shit too. Kyôka spoke to people somewhere. We have to wait 75 years for the sun to shine again. So far, this "world" is 16 years into that cycle. The snow turned to muddy sand.
Apparently, we've been wandering in a cursed forest or somethin'. We found the way out. I'm so stoked though! I'm so glad we -/;/--:;;
General Jerza Fernandel Daywalker Scarlet.
These little Demon Gates have been taken into custody by the Demonic Empire Military. This world must be cleansed of the anomalies that don't belong. He should be grateful to keep his book. Let this be a reminder of why they deserve to go extinct.
September 22, X791
Ah fuck, my head hurts like hell. I woke up few hours ago in this cell. That guard out there tossed me my journal too. 'Take it, scum' she said. That fuckin bitch. I had chains on my ankles, attached to this wall. I tried with all my strength to get them off before I got my journal. Still clean...
I don't know why I feel calm. I guess being trapped in a book for half your life is the same as sitting in a jail cell. This time I get to see others, get nourishments, bathroom breaks and freezing ass showers (must be for torture or something. That shit was STUPID COLD!) and there's a clock on the wall. It's 3a.m.
Thanks for teaching me how to read Demonic Language numbers Lamy. Still a weirdo tho. Speaking of that brat, she's been unconscious since I woke up, according to the guard. That guard looked beautiful. She was muscular, about a D-cup, and totally towered over me. Titania Daywalker is what they call her. I think a human would say I'd climb that tree and fuck it. Who fucks a tree
TIMESKIP
It's 7a.m now. Lamy just woke up. Her hair's turned completely white. Even her eyes are different, a weird kind of almond ?? shape, and light pink. For once, she looked cute and docile. What the fuck is even DOCILE???
Tempester looks off too. His hair got frizzy and thick.
Kyôka and Sayla kinda look normal.
Silver is just bald. I laughed in his ugly face; he looked older.
I dunno where Mard Torafusa Franmalth & Ezel went.
We're outside now, surrounded by an electrical wall. Tried to lean on it but someone shoved me away. Somebody musta died there. I've met with the others. 'Put it away.' Kyôka said. 'It'll get taken.' Sayla said.
"Nagging old fucks. Stop nagging me so much!" I yelled. I didn't really catch anyone's attention. But one of them did look up. A little girl. Maybe five or six. Maybe even 200, who knows. She seemed curious and came to us. 'Hi.' she said.
Damn her face was blank as fuck. 'Who are you? What do you want with us shrimp?' Tampesta sent off a threatening aura. The girl... giggled. WHAT? Why is she laughing now? She introduced herself. Her name is 'Anjuriku'. Angelique? Anjelica? This kid's weird. She ain't even scared of us! She giggled again, gross. It's Angelic silly billy (an-gel-ick?). What the fuck?
"Why are you all here?"
"Where are you from?"
"How could you die, but come back to life here?"
The question that surprised me the most was, "Why can't I hear your soul or heartbeat?"
Heart and soul, never even noticed. I mean, sure we all have scars where that organ would be, but souls? Those aren't real! Lamy panicked. She screamed "I CAN'T BREATH!?" and gasped for breath, I thought about a flopping fish. It took her 20 minutes of Kyôka comforting her to calm down. I'm glad my Lamy was what the FUCK!? Oh god. I HATE LAMY! She isn't shit!
September 23, X791
I think I'm broken. I blushed when Lamy came up to me in the courtyard. Fuckin BLUSHED! Fuck you Silver, embarrassing me and shit. What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling like this? Hey again journal.
I'm done freaking out kinda. We've just met Angelic's friend, Mollison. Dumb name. According to Angelic, Mollison was imprisoned for fraud, prostitution, and killing like 20 clients. Seemed kinda pathetic. Just be smarter when ya kill, duh. Ezel, Keyes, Torafusa and Franmalth are all gone. Where'd they go? I keep forgetting they were here.
Whatever. Today the sky was crimson. We saw the ocean for the first time, black colored. They said it's just a reflection off the black daytime sky.
Apparently, the sky is first Black Qora
And then it's dark Gray Bellow.
Most of the time Crimson Bellow.
Next, it's a Cloud Nine Kichi, then, every 10 or so years, the sky becomes orange, like the planets Venus and Mars, except it's a very a cool looking orange, a sunset.
Then, every 50 years, it's the Eternal Freedom. Blue sky, white clouds, yellow sun, just like Earthland. But, it starts with a nasty storm. Freida shines her light down on us. Yada yada. Didnt someone say 75 years?
Some whoop-de-doo shitting out a rainbow. Hehe.
Mollison is smiling because of those notes I took. Whatever I've gotten a bit of attention from the females. So annoying. Oh, and Mollison has nice lips, clearly in need of glasses, and has long brown hair. She has scars from wearing chains too, and the same shirt and pants as everyone. Puke green. I think I saw a long number on her arm a 69999 somethin. I have to say, she WAS pretty, but not sexy or hot. Just pretty. That number is like high six billions.
It's the first time in my life that I've felt glad to die.
I wouldn't mind dying to escape this place.
Oh yeah i already fuckin died
I hate you for this, Fairy Tail
September 25, X791
I wasn't able to write yesterday, journal. The left page next this one was sabotaged by two certain idiots (Angelic and Mollison). Those two broads were drawing some ugly ass pictures of me and the gang. But I have to say, their efforts was pretty cool
(On the left page, a drawing of a small Jackal and Tampesta arguing is shown, while Minerva, Kyouka, and Sayla are playing with cards. Lamy and Jackal hold hands in a separate sketch. Silver looked like wizard with the dim hat and robe. At the bottom are Torafusa, Franmalth, Ezel, and Keyes dancing with swords, Keyes' weird staff (how'd the kid know about that). They're kinda bad since they were drawn from memory)
I had no idea that they could draw Torafusa, Franmalth or KEYES of all demons so easily. But I laughed lightly. Ezel looks like an octopus to me.
I dunno I felt kinda grateful for those pictures. We were all smiling and shit. We were getting along. We looked like people. Almost like Fairy Tail?
I cried. I've never cried over a childish drawing before. I don't remember the last time I've cried. I don't think I've ever cried. I feel warm. HOT actually. I think it's snowing outside. I'll watch that for a while, or try to fall asleep.
Lamy
September 26, X791
Oh my god. Somethinghappened. I had a dream about that chick! We were in a room with blankets and pillows everywhere. She smiled at me then kissed me. Her lips were warm, but firm, not as soft. I couldn't control my body m. I pushed her down and kissed her deeper. There was tongue and stuff I think. I never thought I'd dream of such a thing. My hand trailed up her shirt, feeling her up. She was so soft, and her moans were kinda cute. Then I woke up and totally freaked. I can't like her, can I?
It's the middle of the day now. The sky was pretty stormy. It's already raining. I'm sitting under shelter, alone, since I wanted to be, writing about my feelings. First, I probably like Lamy. It's not love-like, but I'm-sorta-falling-for-you kind of like. I love her eyes so much. Her smile's become gentler than ever. Notice how my attitude got more gushy gooey? Sometimes I talk to weirdos here. No fucking, just talking. The fuck is this place doing to me? I'm supposed to die here.
When I first joined, I got into a fight with a dude who kept glaring daggers at me. That damned tan-blonde ganguro. He beat me up pretty bad. That was why I got back to my journal late. Minerva joined me in counseling today. She looked terrible. Like a bunch of fists were thrown at her. She broke down and told everyone she's been raped. I was PISSED! I followed Minerva that night (a few hours ago) and she was thrown into a dark cell. I followed her inside.
I never want to go there again. I'm so stupid.
I hid in a chamber that was there. Two guys whipped the crap out of her. Her screams were hurting my ears and chest. They treated her like a toy. They violated her. I was crying so much. I hate crying, it's stupid. I never felt so horrified and mad.
So, I jumped out of that chamber. Of course they were surprised!
I think I took one of their heads and slammed it against the wall. You could never guess how much flesh and bone broke. It was surprisingly easy.
I took the corpse's knife and I lost count of how many times I stabbed the other man. I was blinded by furry. I practically ripped those chains off the wall and held her. I hugged her tight. She didn't trust us before. Now she has a reason to trust me. Right?? I'll protect my people.
I swear.
Nobody punished me, so I guess I'm a hero or somethin'
Gotcha, that didn't fuckin happen. I just hugged her after those monsters left. I'm trying not to see that shit play back again.
What did we do to deserve this?
September 26, X791
Greetings, Journal. This is Kyôka. Jackal has given me this paper to write an entry on. He hasn't told anyone what he has written. He refuses to say. Torafusa, Keyes, Ezel, and Franmalth have gone missing, possibly transferred elsewhere. Lamy, Minerva, Sayla and Silver were taken somewhere as well. I do not know. I haven't seen them in hours. Angelic keeps telling me, "Help them." Help how? We have nothing to fight with. I'll never understand that girl. Mollison seems off today. She won't even look at me. This can't be right.
After six hours, 9:15 p.m.
Lamy just came back. Her throat. It was stitched. She can't speak! What is going on?
Jackal came back shortly after. I've never felt this fear before. Well, maybe I have. But this was just...
They took half his sight, his left eye was covered. There were numbers in their backs. Jackal: 7000000000.
Lamy, mute and missing half a left ear: 7000000001.
Silver came back too. Seven billion three was needled into his right arm.
Scars covered his chest and back. Minerva won't stop crying. Her fingers and toes are like little shards of metal. Nobody can touch her but Jackal.
And then Sayla. Oh god, not my Sayla. They took her horns and tongue, I think I'm next. Angelic just told me so. I think I'm afraid. Erza would smirk at my suffering now.
28 Sep X791
Tempesta.
Kyôka doesn't have arms. Well, they look like fake human limbs. Docked her tail; the tail was new. Sayla stays with her. They took my right eye. At least I was asleep when they stole from me.
Lamy and Minerva seem off. I don't think they got to sleep. Minerva doesn't sleep. She hides under my bed when the guards do rounds. Haven't we dealt with enough?
