Chapter 16: What's in the briefcase?
Weisz: Now, do you want to tell me why all of you are trespassing inside my home?
Rebecca: Li-Like I said, we've came to see Professor Weisz.
Weisz: Huh. I see it now. You work for Sibir.
Y/N: (confused) Sibir?
Natsu: Who's Saber?
Lucy: It's Sibir! Not Saber!
Weisz: If you leave right now, I'll agree to spare your lives.
Robo-Happy: Rebecca...
Weisz: Get out of here.
Gray: (scoffs) Do you really think we would take threats from you?
Weisz: You think I'm joking here? I'm the one holding the gun here?
Suddenly, in a flash Erza appeared in front of him and summoned a sword and used it to cut the gun in half.
Weisz: (surprised) Okay... I didn't expect that to happen.
Erza then pointed the sword at his throat.
Erza: Now! Tell us where we can find the real Professor Weisz! And I'll expect the truth!
Weisz: What are you talking about?! I am the real Weisz!
Shiki: (hears something) Hang on just a sec. (puts on the X-ray goggles)
Weisz: Excuse me?
Ur: What is it?
Shiki: (looks up) There's somebody on the second floor.
Weisz: Hey, wait! Those are my goggles! (realized) Oh shit!
Suddenly, someone on the second floor starts to open fire through the floor, trying to hit Weisz and the others.
Y/N: What the hell?!
Happy: Someone's firing above us!
Erza: A surprise attack!
Y/N went for the Omnitrix and selected Big Chill.
Big Chill: Big Chill!
Weisz: (shocked) What the hell?! Did he transform into a moth-like monster?!
Big Chill using his intangible went through the ceiling, which surprised Weisz, he then saw a man firing an assault rifle.
Big Chill: Time to take a chill pill pal!
Shooter: What the?!
He tried to shoot him, but using his powers, made them go through him, and then he used his ice breath to immobilise the man.
Robo-Happy: Nice one!
Ur: Impressive ice control you got there.
However using the chaos of the gunfire and Big Chill, Weisz uses the smoke as an opportunity to escape on his motorcycle and rides off.
Rebecca: What's going on?
Lucy: He's making off!
Natsu: (nauseous) I'm getting sick.
Gray: How can you feel sick already?
Big Chill: (deadpan) Really? Just by looking at it?
Shiki: Did he just stop and run away?
Happy: Looks like it.
Assassin: (grunts) Are you guys with Weisz?
Ur: What's it to you if we're with him or not?
Assassin: (smirk) Well, the next time you see him, deliver this message. Sibir the Mighty despises traitors with a passion.
Lucy: You honestly think we're working with the guy who drove his bike and left us? Sorry pal.
Assassin: (confused) Huh?
Shiki: (laughs)
Assassin: What's so funny about that?!
Shiki: I can't take you seriously seeing you naked.
Big Chill: What are you going on about Shiki?
Turning back to normal, Y/N went over and took the goggles from him and put them on. Turning around he saw that the girls were naked.
Y/N: (blush) What the hell?!
Lucy: What's the matter, Y/N?
Erza: Something wrong?
Both of them came over to see what was wrong, unknowingly giving him more of a view of their chest.
Y/N: (blush) Wait, don't come closer to me! I don't...!
But they didn't listen to him, Erza took her hand to his forehead, unintentionally giving him a full view of her chest.
Erza: (worried) You sick or something.
Y/N: (blush) I...
Stream was blowing through his ears with his face fully red as her hair before he faints and falls on his back.
Erza, Lucy, Ur, & Rebecca: Y/N?!?!
(Timeskip)
Rebecca: Are you sure you're alright Y/N?
Y/N: (blush) Yeah, I'll be fine. Don't worry about it.
After they left Weisz's house, they went on a boat on an underground river to eat. Although Natsu was on the floor ready to blow his stomach.
Natsu: (nauseous) How.....this is.....fair? I'm....ready to die....and you guys....are eating!
Gray: (smirk) That's life Ash Brain!
Natsu: What did you....(groaned) Someone please kill me.
Shiki: (standing on the mirror) Whoa! There are rivers here too?! Even underground?!
Robo-Happy: Shiki, please, sit down.
Ur: I'm amazed there's water underground too as well.
Lucy: It's so breathtaking..
Rebecca: First we get attacked, and still no sign of the Professor. What the heck is going on? (takes a bite off a piece of meat)
Shiki: You sure that guy wasn't the professor? He had the same name and everything.
Rebecca: There's no way that was him. I have a recent picture here.
She pulls up a recent picture of him with Rebecca and Happy and she shows it to them.
Rebecca: See?
Erza: Curious.
Shiki: It looks a bit like him, don't you think?
Y/N: Yeah, despite their age, their appearances are very similar to each other.
Rebecca: Yeah, I thought so too.
Robo-Happy: (panicking) Maybe he developed a super secret drug that reverses his aging and in the process lost all his memories!
Shiki: That's it!
Happy: Oh no!
Lucy: (sweat drops) Yeah, I don't think something like that exists.
Rebecca: (takes a bite off a pizza) Something doesn't feel right.
She also notices that her phone won't connect to the internet.
Rebecca: Huh? I can't connect to the internet.
Y/N: (checks on his phone) Strange. I can't either.
Robo-Happy: Me too.
Rebecca: This doesn't make any sense. The planet should have really good connectivity.
Y/N then sees a news report on the tv about a guild being just founded.
Reporter: On to our next top story, an Adventure's Guild was just founded on Blue Garden, called Shooting Starlight. The planet boasts a high immigrant population.
Y/N's thoughts: Shooting Starlight? Isn't that the same guild that Shiki, Rebecca, and Happy joined? Wait a sec...
Reporter: Many Adventurers have already gathered at Shooting Starlight, raising the people's hopes for further space development.
Shiki: That's our guild, alright. I didn't realize that it was new, though.
Ur: Even after you joined?
Shiki: Yeah.
Rebecca: (shocked) But that's impossible! It's 50 years old!
Gray: Hold up. Didn't the reporter say it was just founded?
Robo-Happy: Is it possible they could be airing old news footage, for some reason?
Y/N: Oh no, it's real alright... (gets of his seat)
Lucy: Hey, where are you going?
Shiki: Yeah, we still have to finish all this food.
Ur: And not to mention pay the bill.
Rebecca follows Y/N along with the others as they get off the boat or are dragged in Natsu's case.
Rebecca: I knew it.
Shiki: What's wrong?
Rebecca: The car models are old. So are all the machines here.
Y/N: Rebecca, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Rebecca: Yeah, which means...
Y/N: This isn't the present day...
Y/N/Rebecca: We're 50 years in the past!
Shiki: (confused) Huh?
Everyone else: WHAT?!?!?!?!
Lucy: Hold on! You're not saying we somehow traveled back in time, are you?!
Rebecca: (freaking out) I have no idea why this happened. But that has to be it. (looks at Robo-Happy) Happy, what's the current year?
Robo-Happy: My records imply that it's space calendar year X784.
Y/N: (points at the screen) Then how do you explain that up on the screen there?
Erza: (reads it, surprised) X734?!
Happy: (freaks out) But that's 50 years out of date?!
Shiki: (shocked) So we really are back in the past?!
Ur: But how is this even possible?!
Y/N: So then that guy we met earlier who claims to be Weisz Steiner... You don't think that was...?
Rebecca: That man was young Professor Weisz! (freaks out) No, no, this is way too crazy! Fifty years ago I wasn't even born yet! (points at a man) Okay, just come down!
Man: (sweat drop) What?
Shiki: She's talking to herself.
Y/N: Alright, calm down now. Let's not panic here. We just need to figure out a way to get back to our original time.
Natsu: Yeah, how am I supposed to beat Laxus if he's not even born yet?!
Lucy: (deadpan) That's what you're worried about?
Erza: But how did we do this in the first place?! People don't just go back in time for no reason!
Rebecca: How did things even end up this way?
(puts her cat ears on) That's it! I need to go live. Think of the views we could be getting!
Lucy: How can you even think of getting views in a time like this?! We've travelled back in time!
Robo-Happy: Yeah, we can't connect to the Internet, remember?
Shiki: And what about the Professor?
Natsu: And getting Y/N home?!
Rebecca: Never mind about all of that. We can't do anything anyway, if this is the past. We'd create a time paradox.
Y/N: Unfortunately, she's right! Anything we do in this time may dramatically change our future, for that reason, Rebecca might not even meet her Happy or even the Professor.
Suddenly, the group noticed a giant shadow that covers them. And when they look to see what casts the shadow, they see a giant knight class mech and goons in hover pods.
Gray: What is that?!
Natsu: It's huge!
Mech: I found you.
Goon 1: Yeah, these were the punk with Weisz, alright.
Goon 2: What do you want us to do with them, Sibir?
Rebecca: It's him!
All the civilians start to run away.
Civilian 1: Sibir and his gang are here!
Civilian 2: Let's get out of here!
Sibir: You shouldn't go around taking stuff that doesn't belong to you. Yeah?
A screen appeared in front of mech, revealing Sibir as a tall muscular man, with a tattoo spelling his name on his head, which he has no hair. He also has some sort of piercings on his chin with dark orb-like earrings. He also appears to have a robotic arm on his right side with a type of shirt that only covers the sleeve on the left, exposing his abdomen; he also appears to be wearing some sort of futuristic baggy pants.
Sibir: Weisz stole money from me so if you punks are with him, you're guilty by association.
Bird: Payo.
Rebecca: (shocked) Professor Weisz stole from Sibir?!
Shiki: He should be called Professor Thief instead!
Happy & Robo-Happy: Aye sir!
Meanwhile, Weisz was hiding under a bridge while holding the briefcase to his chest.
Weisz: They can't have this. It's mine and mine alone. I'm not gonna let that lowlife Sibir lay even a finger on it.
*With the group*
Sibir: Where's Weisz?
Bird: Payo, Payo!
Gray: Does it look like we know where he is?!
Sibir: Anyone who steals money from me is a good for nothing asshole. So, what does that make you guys, then? Huh?
Bird: Payo, Payo.
Sibir: (looks at the bird) Yeah, lay off! It's not that bad of a word! What are you, my mother?!
Robo-Happy: Is it me or is he talking to that bird?
Happy: Weird right?!
Lucy: Said the talking cats.
Goon 1: Sibir, let us go and take them out!
Goon 2: Yeah, we're supposed to deliver the case to our dealer!
Sibir: Shut up, I'm trying to think here!
Rebecca: Guys, let's make a run for it.
Natsu: But why?
Lucy: Didn't you hear Y/N earlier?! We can't interfere with anything that in the past that could change the future. Remember?!
Natsu: Really? I don't remember that?
Gray: Goes out one ear and goes out the other.
Shiki: I don't really get it, but okay. (grunts) So it's better we run away?
Erza: Let's go!
The group started running away. Then one of Sibir's men noticed them starting to run away.
Goon 1: Hey! They're running! Don't let them get away!
Sibir: I don't plan on it.
Gray: I got this. Ice-Make Wall!
Gray then thrust out his palms and created a giant wall of ice between them and the Sibir group.
Goon 2: Is that a wall made of ice?!
Shiki: (grabs Rebecca's wrist) Brace yourself.
Rebecca: Are you gonna-? (sees his arm glowing) Never mind, that just answered my question!
Shiki, Rebecca, and Robo-Happy started floating away from Sibir. Y/N activating the Omnitrix cycled through his aliens and selected Jetray.
Jetray: Jetray! Hang on Lucy!
Lucy: What do yo--- (scarred) MEAN!!!!
Picking up Lucy in a bride style, he started to fly away.
Erza: Re-equip! Black Wing Armor!
With a flash Erza changed into a new type of armor. Around Erza's neck was a neck guard decorated by several gems. Her long scarlet hair was tied up in a high ponytail, with two bangs framing her face. Her large shoulderpads, each composed of two silver-edged plates one over the other, sporting a silver crosses on them too, flank the high collar. A silver-edged breastplate revealed a fair amount of Erza's cleavage and belly, with plates flanking her hips and reaching down to her very large waistguard, composed of very long, silver-edged plates shaped like feathers and decorated by silver crosses.
The waistguard left the front of Erza's body exposed, with her groin being covered by a dark garment. The slim gauntlets on her arms came equipped with prominent protection for her hands, each sporting silver patterns. The plates guarding her legs were silver-edged on her thighs and knees, but pitch black dark on her metal greaves. But the most noticeable feature of the armor was the large pair of wings protruding from the back.
She took up to the air while grabbing Ur while Happy summoned his wing and grabbed Natsu.
Gray: (angry) HEY WHAT ABOUT ME?!?!
Shiki: (flies toward Gray) I got ya! (grabs his wrist with his other hand)
Goon 1: (shocked) They're flying?!
Sibir: Don't just stand there! Shoot them!
Sibir's men start shooting missiles at them, but Shiki, Erza, Happy and Jetray are able to dodge them while flying. After they dodged all the missiles and floated higher up Sibir appeared beside them.
Lucy: Look out!
Sibir: And DIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!
The mech thrust a fist at them, but Jetray unleashed his laser from his eyes and tail, blowing up its arm and sending the mech into a building. However, because of the mech's durability, it wasn't knocked out.
Sibir: We're losing?! No way!
Bird: Payo, payo, payo!
Shiki: Weren't you supposed to be not messing around with stuff?
Jetray: It was either that or us becoming paste?!
Shiki: Okay, fair enough.
Rebecca: I swear, your powers are actually both amazing and scary.
Jetray: Thanks. Now let's get out of here.
As the group made their escape, Sibir comes out of the cockpit of the mech while groaning.
Bird: Payo.
Sibir: (angry) Don't even start.
Bird: Payo, payo.
Sibir: Yeah, yeah, I already know that. (smirk, clenching his robot fist)
They'll come crawling back to us before you know it. There's no doubt in my mind. I'll crush them into dust!
(meanwhile)
The group were currently inside a bar which is full of aliens. Shiki is excited to see a bunch of different and various aliens and a female alien humanoid rabbit bar waitress.
Alien waitress: What would you like, you big boy?
But he is too excited about all the aliens in the bar to answer her.
Rebecca: (forcibly turns his head away) You don't have to get so excited with every new alien you meet.
Shiki: Why'd you say that?
Y/N: Aliens may look different from humans and robots, but they share a language and culture like us. At least the ones who live together that is.
Rebecca: Here something else to consider, from everyone else's perspective, you're the one who's an alien here
Lucy: Crazy.
Shiki: These aliens... Do you think they would be willing to be my friend?
Ur: I probably doubt it, kid.
Shiki: (runs to the waitress) Please be my fri-
Rebecca: (grabs him by his jacket straps) Stop that right now!
Shiki falls on the floor.
Happy: You have to admit he's very determined.
Erza: Enough of that. Can we please focus on the task?
Y/N: Okay. First, Weisz stole something from Sibir and then ran off, second somehow we ended up 50 years in the past.
Robo-Happy: To say this is all a bit confusing is kind of an understatement.
Lucy: A bit? Try a lot?!
Rebecca: (sighs) Guess we still have to eat. (take a piece of the puffed cream, enjoy it) I'm sorry Y/N.
Y/N: Huh? What for?
Rebecca: (sad) I promised you a way home and now we're stuck 50 years in the past, because of my idea.
Y/N felt bad for her as he places a hand on head while caressing it.
Y/N: It's alright, Rebecca. I don't blame you, you were just trying to help me and that's okay. I know you tried your best.
Rebecca: Really?
Y/N: (smile) Of course. You're a smart and helpful girl I know around this universe.
Robo-Happy: He's right, Rebecca! You're my best friend in the whole universe.
Rebecca: (happy) Y/N....
Suddenly, she hugged him with all her might.
Rebecca: Thank you for those words, Y/N.
Y/N: (hugs back) No problem. What are friends for?
The girls looked onto this scene with a jealous look. And couldn't help but to want to be in her place.
Natsu: What's up with this bar?
Rebecca: This bar is sort of a hideout that the Professor introduced me to back in the present. I guess it was kinda too optimistic of me hoping we'd find him here.
Suddenly, Y/N felt something or someone bumped into his right shoulder.
Y/N: Excuse me, do you mind? I'm-
But as he turns, he realizes it's past Weisz who was sitting next to him as Rebecca freaks out.
Weisz: You guys again?! How do you know about this place?!
Y/N: Well, what a coincidence bumping into you here.
Rebecca: (raised her hands) Wait a second! Just hear us out please.
-2 minutes later-
Weisz: Hmmm... (gestures to Robo-Happy) You're saying I saved this cat? Not just him, but you too? And you came from 50 years in the future?
Rebecca: I can prove it. Look here. (shows him the picture of present Weisz) See?
Weisz: (freaks out) What the hell?! Ah! My hair's thinning like crazy!
Rebecca: (sweat drop) Why do you say that as if it was somehow my fault?
Natsu: Well, it was on your device.
Gray: You don't have to point it out, hothead.
Natsu: (angry) WHAT WAS THAT ICE STRIPPER?!?!?!
Erza: Never mind that!
Weisz: With a story like that, well, forgive me if I don't take your word for it.
Rebecca: Yeah, can't blame you.
Weisz: At the very least, what I will believe is that you're not working with Sibir.
Erza: So, can you build a device capable of traveling to another universe?
With those words, Weisz gained a shocked look on his face.
Weisz: (shocked) Travel to another UNIVERSE?! Are you out of your mind?!
Ur: She's not. (gestures to Y/N) You see, Y/N's from another universe who ended up in ours. We came to Norma to find the present Weisz, but we somehow ended up in the past.
Happy: Since you are Weisz, do you think you could help us build something that can teleport him back home?
Weisz: Listen here, even if I could build something like that, it's impossible, there's no tech in the entire universe capable of doing something like that!
Lucy: But Rebecca told us that Professor Weisz was capable of doing amazing feats. If he could do it, there's no reason you can't too.
Weisz: Look, even if I believed you about the whole time travel and universe thing. I don't know my present self, but I'm sure he would tell you the same thing! And also I'm not a professor!
Robo-Happy: (puppy eyes) When will you become one?
Happy: (puppy eyes) Please become one now! So we can help Y/N!
Rebecca: (puppy eyes) Hurry up and get older.
Weisz: Hell no!!!
Y/N: (thoughts, blush) She's so cute with the puppy eye look! (speaking) Anyway, Sibir said you stole money from him that really pissed him off.
Weisz: Huh?
Shiki: (looks at the briefcase) Is it inside that briefcase?
Weisz: That's none of your business, okay?
Natsu: No, it's not. But isn't stealing bad?
Erza: (angry) Said the man who stole and went on a S-Class mission without being S-Class?!
Natsu: (scared) A-Aye...
Weisz scoffs, crossed his arms and looks away.
Shiki: Though in Granbell where I'm originally from, we actually have a class called Thief.
Lucy: Still wrong Shiki.
Rebecca: So, who were those guys exactly?
Natsu: And who's this Saber guy?!
Lucy: IT'S SIBIR NATSU!!!
Weisz: (pause for a moment) Not your problem. (got off his seat) Don't stick your nose into stuff anymore. That goes double if you really did come from the future. You'll go and mess up the timeline.
Gray: Hey! What about Y/N's problem?!
Weisz: Told you guys, not possible! Just go back to the future!
Ur: (annoyed) And how are we supposed to do that, genius?
Weisz: (smirk) How should I know?
When he looks back to the counter, he notices the briefcase he had was gone.
Weisz: (freaks out) The case! The case is gone!
Happy: Looking for this?
Weisz looked up to see Happy with his wings flying near Natsu while holding the briefcase.
Weisz: What the?! That cat has wings?!?!
Natsu: (laughs) Nice job, Happy! (looks at Weisz with a smirk) What do you think, Professor? Now your case just got stolen by my best buddy!
Happy: Aye sir!
Weisz: (angry) Why you flying rat!
Natsu: Alright! Let's open this up!
Happy placed the case on a table, when he did it started to open up and the case slowly opened up with steam coming out of it.
Lucy: It's opening.
Weisz: That's my money!
When the smoke clears it's revealed to be a small android, having a pink helmet that seems to resemble a bob-cut hairstyle with an upside-down triangle symbol with a stylized "P" in front of it. She has a small set of eyebrows and has eyeliner with little blush on her cheeks. Additionally, she has a pair of antennae resembling rabbit ears and has multiple joints along her arms and legs and she had to use a screw for a left leg.
Android: I would kindly ask that you treat me far more delicately, Master.
Y/N, Shiki, Rebecca, Weisz, and the others were absolutely shocked that a small android was in the case.
Y/N: Is that... a small robot?!
Android: Huh? (stands up) I am unable to locate Master in my sights.
Shiki: First a giant robot, now a tiny one.
Natsu: What's next, a medium sized robot?
Pino: (salutes) To be more precise, I'm an anti-mech android. I am called E.M. Pino. (bows) Please address me as Pino.
Lucy: Oh my god! She's so cute!
Gray turned to Erza who had a smile on her face with a curious look on his face.
Gray: Hey Erza, Any ideas on why this thing was in here?
Erza: So cute...
Gray: Rrrriiiiigggghhhhtttttt... Do you have any ideas on why those guys want this little one?
Erza: So cute...
Gray sweatdropped at Erza's one-track mind.
Weisz: (confused) So, it wasn't money?
Suddenly, all the lights go out.
Ur: Hey what happened?
Lucy: The lights turned off!
Happy: Did it blow a fuse?
Happy: Did it blow a fuse?
Pino: Apologies. It is a side-effect of my EMP.
Erza: EMP?
Y/N: Yeah, it's an electromagnetic pulse. It can disabled and shutdown both machines and electronic devices temporarily.
Gray: Sounds dangerous.
Rebecca: Yeah, it is! Wait if it disables the lights... then it disables...
She turns around and sees Happy has been shut down because of the E.M.P.
Rebecca: NO! HAAAAPPPPPPYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
Soon, the power comes back on.
Pino: Please, do not worry yourselves. The effect of my power only lasts for a few seconds.
For a few seconds, Robo-Happy comes back online.
Happy: (panic) What just happened?! I don't remember! Did I blackout?! Did I suddenly stop working?!
Rebecca: (relief) Thank goodness...
Weisz: (shocked) The other cat's a robot?!
Ur: Well duh, we just told you the whole story.
Shiki: (bends his knees down to Pino) Pino. You have an amazing power. What do you say to the idea of us becoming friends?
Y/N: Please Shiki, you really need to stop doing that.
Pino: Become a friend. Searching definition of term... (a beeping sound cwas oming from her) The conditions do not appear to be completely satisfied. (salutes) But, I accept.
Shiki: Hooray!
Y/N: She accepted it that easily?
Rebecca: Wow. That's a surprise.
Shiki: (looks at Weisz) You can still be... my side-friend.
Weisz: (angry anime tick-mark) Who said anything about us being friends?!
Natsu: Hang on. You were planning on stealing money from those guys?
Weisz: (grabs Pino's head) Yeah, got a problem with that?
Shiki: Hey, what are you doing?
Weisz: (picks up Pino) I wonder. Is this worth a whole lot on the market or something?
Pino: I am a personal belonging that was especially designed and built by my master. Therefore, I do not possess an inherent market price. I was taken out of sleep mode because I had detected the sound of my master's voice.
Y/N: Hold on, your Master? You mean that Sibir guy?
Pino: Cross-referencing.
Then she starts to download some data and gets flashes to tool equipment, screams and laughter that sounded like Sibir and his gang. Pino's eyes had gone static as a beeping noise was heard.
Pino: (shaking in fear) Retrieving file. Restoring damaged memory. Update: Sibir is new master. Adhering to master's wishes, required. Master Sibir's orders, absolute.
Y/N: Pino? Are you alright?
Weisz: Are you malfunctioning right now?
But for Erza, she knew what was going with Pino for that shaking was all too familiar to her. From her day in that hellish place that stuck in, it also brought forth a memory to her of the day her life turned to hell.
???: Run Lise!
??? 2: Ezie!
???: I said run! Forget about me!
Pino: (crying) Master Sibir is too terrifying to defy. Master Sibir's orders are absolute. Radioing itinerary. (starts running)
Shiki: Hey!
Y/N: Where're you going?!
Pino: (crying) Traveling to destination.
Gray: What was that about?
Weisz: (placed his hand on his chin) I have this sneaking suspicion. Is it possible Sibir was planning on using that EMP to make a whole lot of cash?
Rebecca: How'd he manage that?
Robo-Happy: Maybe by hacking and stealing from a bank?
Weisz: (smiles) I'd be happy to put it to the test!
Everyone except Shiki: What a lowlife.
Weisz: (runs after Pino, laughs) Looks like fortune's smiling on me!
Weisz runs out of the bar laughing with joy. After Weisz runs out Rebecca remembers something that Professor Weisz told her.
Professor Weisz: No matter how poor you are, you should never let yourself resort to stealing. Remember, the gods are always watching.
Rebecca: (sheepish chuckles while sweat dropping)
Gray: That guy is going to be a real professor?
Natsu: More like a greedy scum-bag to me.
Ur: And he's Y/N's only way home? Anyone else not believe that guy?
Waitress: (walks to the group) Sorry to eavesdrop, but I can't help but overhear you talking about Sibir. I'd suggest you sleep with one eye open. Those bandits aren't just some rowdy kids playing cops and robbers. You won't be leaving this town alive if they end up catching up to you.
Rebecca: Professor– I mean, Weisz is a regular here, isn't he? Do you know anything about him?
Waitress: Only that the sorry bum used to work pretty closely with Sibir. But he crawled his way out recently. Couldn't tell you any more than that, though.
Robo-Happy: What do you know? The Professor used to be a bandit when he was younger.
Rebecca: I always thought there was something different about him.
The group then exited the bar.
Lucy: What do we do now?
Rebecca: To be honest, I'm more worried about what he said about Y/N's situation. But once we check on the status of the Aqua Wing, we should try heading back to Blue Garden and report our findings. Who knows? Maybe the time traveling has something to do with our ship.
Happy: Maybe we can find someone who can build a time-machine.
Robo-Happy: What about Y/N using Clockwork?
Y/N: I don't know. Clockwork does have time manipulating powers, and it would used up all of the Omnitrix's power and leave me exhausted until they both recharge.
Shiki: You're okay with leaving the Professor and Pino behind?
Rebecca: We're gone over this. We're in the past. We can't get involved any more than we already have.
Shiki: Oh man. But I was able to make a new friend. Just not with the Professor.
Happy: (notice Y/N's holding the briefcase) Isn't that the case?
Y/N: Yeah, that's right. I brought it with us, along with this thing.
Y/N reaches his pocket and he pulls out a small B-Cube like device like Rebecca and Robo-Happy has but this one has the same mark as what Sibir has on his forehead.
Y/N: This was also in the case.
Rebecca: That's a B-Cube! You can't just take that!
Y/N: I think we can find more information with this.
Rebecca: Put it back!
She tries to take it out of his hands, but he pushes a button and a hologram opens up and shows them footage. Inside the footage was Sibir sitting on a wooden box in some kind of a warehouse staring down at Pino.
Sibir: Do a dance for me.
Bird: Payo, payo.
Ur: Hey isn't that guy who was in that walking trash can?
Natsu Yeah, Saber.
Lucy: For the last time, Natsu, his name is Sibir!
Sibir: I told you to dance, you piece of junk. I'm the one who took you off the streets.
Pino: I do not possess the proper functions to accomplish such a request. I'm merely an anti-mech android.
Shiki: Pino!
Then he picks up Pino by the hand and they can hear her getting crushed by Sibir's strong hand.
Sibir: (angry) Don't give me that. I want to watch a metal doll dance!
Pino: (fear) No, please, put me down.
Sibir: I guess if you can't dance, you don't need this, huh? (grabs her left leg and starts pulling it)
Pino: (fear) Do not pull it, please, do not do this.
Sibir: Huh? Right, can't I?
Pino: (crying) Left leg has been damaged.
Sibir: Aw, that's too bad!
Sibir and his gang start to laugh at her.
Pino: (crying) Restoring system alterations to normal.
Sibir: Who's your master? Answer me.
Pino: (crying) My master. My master is-
Sibir: Me! That's who! (laughs) Now delete all your memories of your previous master.
Pino: (crying) I cannot bring myself to do that. Those memories are precious to me. Forgive my disobedience.
Sibir: I'm not gonna say this again. Go into your memory banks and delete your memories.
Pino: (crying) I cannot...
Sibir: (looks at subordinate) You. Grab her and delete them.
Goon: Yes, sir. (picks her up)
Pino: No, stop, do not delete them! Someone, anybody!
Rebecca: (covers her mouth while tearing) That's awful.
Goon: Should we fix her leg, too?
Sibir: She doesn't need it to work. Stick a screw on it or something. (laughs) Yeah, I know!
Pino: (crying) They're all gone... memories of my master... and this left leg. All I want... is to... return to my previous master.
The footage ends and that leaves everyone shocked and speechless on what they just saw. Shiki was shaking in anger to see Pino in sadness. Y/N looks down as he can't get that image of her tears out of his head and realise why.
Ur: That poor thing!
Lucy: How can anyone be so cruel?!
Natsu: (angry) THAT'S HEARTLESS BASTARD!!! I'M GOING ROAST HIM UNTIL HE'S CHARCOAL!!!
Y/N: (drops the case) DAMNIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!! I'm going after her!
Rebecca: Y/N!
Y/N: Don't try to stop me, Rebecca! I don't give a crap if we mess up the timeline! Pino needs our help and I'm gonna get her, even if it means taking out Sibir and his gang!
Rebecca: (notice the case opened, bends to it) I'm not going to stop you. I can't forgive him either. Besides, look at this. The case has a record of the last maintenance check this model received.
They all look in the case and sees a maintenance record the model received.
Robo-Happy: "X784."
Happy: Hey! That's our timeline!
Natsu: That means she is from our time! But how?
Gray: Probably came here to this time period just like us.
Lucy: And if Sibir is planning on using her for some crazy evil plan, then we can't stay on the sidelines anymore.
Ur: And that would mean, Sibir is already trying to mess up the past.
Rebecca: We have to put a stop to him.
Y/N: You got that right. Let's put an end to his evil business.
Shiki: Don't worry, Pino. We've got this!
Erza: (angry) He'll pay for this!
They looked to see Erza. If looks could kill, the one on her face most definitely would. Then with a blinding flash, stood Erza in a new armor, an almost demonic set of armor. The armor was an ink black color with many spiked features. The chest plate was entirely black except for a small arrow-like inward protrusion on both sides near her stomach. The plate was lined with several spikes that ran from top to bottom. Multiple layered shoulder guards connected to the chest plate and featured many pyramid shaped spikes that protrude outward.
Around Erza's neck was a large necklace of spikes, matching the ones found around the chest plate but much larger. A lighter colored metal covered her upper arms before connecting to the black arm guards. The arm guards sported two metal straps and two spiky protrusions near the elbows. At her waist, she wore a multi-layered spike skirt ending in the spikes found in the shoulder guards. Around her waist was a simple-banded belt.
The tops of her legs remained exposed before her greaves started just above her knees. Above the knee, the greaves were sectioned off, featuring two spikes per section. At the knee, a diamond like pattern formed with various spikes at the outward facing side. Below the knee, the spikes move to the side of the leg and are placed in even intervals all the way down. Erza's hair was spiked outward, similar to the armor's design.
Erza: (angry) After I'm done with him, he'll regret the moment he was born!
Chapter 16 ended.
What an interesting chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it, especially @EricHuber98's little teaser at Erza and Elsie's past.
Erza and Elsie have no issues with one another and both have searched for each other for years, they even both call each other by a nickname. Erza's nickname for Elsie is Lise, and Elsie's nickname for Erza is Ezzy or Ezzie.
Anyway, if you guys have any ideas for the next chapter, let me know at the comments below. Peace out and enjoy!
