Chapter 28: Emerald Heist
The scene begins at dawn when the light of the morning sun rises to reveal a castle in the middle of a town.
We then see the bedroom inside the castle to see a sleeping 12 year old girl with green hair, unknown to her. Her bedroom window was slowly being opened from the outside as she turned in her bed away from the window, a dark shadow appeared over before a hand reached out.
However, the door was knocked causing the hand to move away.
???: Princess, it's time to wake up.
Princess: (slowly wakes up) Okay.
She raised her body as she rubbed her eyes. Revealing them to emerald color before she yawns and stretches her arms up. She slowly got up out of her bed and walked to her bathroom. Still unaware of the other figure inside the room.
As she turned the light on, she turned on her bathroom sink and leaned down to splash her face. As she raised her head to the mirror, she saw someone behind her and turned to the figure and screamed.
???: Princess!
Soon someone began to bashed against the door and soon with one last shovel broke through the door to reveal a muscular man clad in a suit of armor. His dark hair and pointed beard gave him an imposing presence and his thick eyebrows framed sharp concerned eyes.
Behind him two knights in yellow-and-blue gear while armed with lances.
???: Princess!
He saw a cloaked figure with the girl who was unconscious turn to him before leaping out of the window as the man rushed to the window. He saw the cloaked figure flying away with the girl in the morning light.
???: PRINCESS!!!!!
(with Y/N)
Two weeks had passed since Phantom Lord was finally defeated. In just that time-span, a lot had transpired. After the battle, when everyone had gathered around the wrecked Guild Hall, Y/N and Braedey had offered to repair it again. However, Makarov gently declined and even though he appreciated the offer, he said it was 'time for a change'.
Almost immediately, Fairy Tail had gotten to work on construction of a brand-new Guild Hall. Nonetheless, nearly a couple days after they started construction, the Rune Knights showed up. The Rune Knights were essentially the army of the Magic Council, and the wizards of Fairy Tail knew that they would show up eventually after hearing about what had happened in Magnolia. Natsu and Happy had tried to escape, but were easily captured. Erza not surprisingly had to drag Elsie back while telling her not to freak out.
Elsie: The cops! Run for it!
Erza: Lise!
It was quite the sight to see. The Rune Knights pretty much interrogated everyone; however, out of the longest that they questioned was Fairy Tail's own powerful shapeshifters, Y/N Tennyson and Braedey Martin. The Knights have heard reports of a giant in Magnolia, one firing an emerald beam right at Phantom Lord's headquarters. In addition, they knew next-to-absolutely nothing about the two, even if Y/N was a new member of the Fairy Tail Guild and that he seemed to be a powerful Take-Over mage.
Makarov advised the two it would be best not to lie to the Knights, but acceptable if he stretched the truth a bit. With that in mind, both Y/N and Braedey gave the Knights what they wanted; only they didn't tell them the complete truth about themselves.
Y/N was about to find somewhere to stay for the time being, until a rune knight approached him.
Rune Knight: Excuse me, sir. Sorry to interrupt, but you have a message from the King of Crocus.
Y/N: Huh? (blink) Excuse me but..... Did you say the king?
Rune Knight: I did. (shows him the letter) It's inside this letter here.
Y/N: Thank you? (take the letter) What does he want?
Rune Knight: You'll find out once you've read it. That is all. (exits)
Y/N: (look at the letter) The king, huh? (open the letter) I hope it hasn't to do with the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom.
Y/N began to read the letter. As he did his eyes widened in shock.
Y/N: (shocked) HUH?!?!
(some time later)
Makarov: WHAT?!?!?
Erza: The princess has been kidnapped?!
Erza immediately took the letter before looking at Elsie who noticed her looking at her.
Elsie: Funny, seemingly that I was called the Space Pirate Princess.
Erza: That's not answering the question! (raise a brow) Well?
Y/N: This was surprising to me too. Who would want the princess for?
Ur: Gotta be a ransom situation.
Rebecca: Ur's got a point. It makes sense to me.
Y/N: Whatever the reason, she needs help. I'm going out to find her, who's with me?
Elsie: You gonna be needing me. I am the Space Pirate.
Erza: (annoyed) FORMER Space Pirate!
Elsie: Whatever! Besides, it makes sense for Fairy Tail's newest member to show off her stuff.
Elsie was correct as on her left arm in the same spot where Erza had her was a blue Fairy Tail mark.
Erza: I'll go with you as well. Mainly to keep Lise from doing pirate stuff in front of the princess.
Elsie: I don't need a babysitter, Ezzie!
Erza: I thought you would jump in joy knowing your first mission had your sister in it. (slam her forehead against Elsie's forehead) Or do you wanna start something?
Elsie: Excuse me?! We're the same age and you're treating me like a child! No wonder Natsu and Gray don't want to be on missions with you!
Erza: (angry anime tick mark) What did you say!!! (brings out a sword) You wanna do this?!?!
Elsie: (brings out her ethereal katana) Just know that you started it!
As the two sisters started to clash with each other, Lucy, Rebecca, and Robo-Happy looked at this scene with sweat drops on their foreheads.
Lucy: Boy, Erza sure acts differently around Elsie.
Rebecca: Yeah, just like Natsu and Gray fighting each other.
Robo-Happy: Aye sir.....
(time-skip)
Y/N joined by Team Natsu, Shiki, Rebecca, Robo-Happy, Elsie, Pino, and Ur walked towards their meeting spot. With Erza and Elsie still clashing swords against one another. Lucy who was holding hands with Y/N looked at this with a sweat drop.
Lucy: Oh, boy. Those two are still going at it.
Y/N: Yeah.
Lucy: So find a place to stay yet?
Y/N: Well, now that the guildhall is wrecked to pieces I might as well.
Lucy: (blush) If you want..... You could stay with.... Me?
Y/N: What? No, I can't force you to have me come over. Besides, isn't it rented?
Lucy: I know, but we could split it? And besides we are.... Dating now.
Y/N: You.... have a fair point.
Lucy: (blush) So?
Y/N: (blush) Y-Y-Yes.
Lucy smiled before she placed his arm between her breasts.
Lucy: You won't regret it! I promise.
Y/N: (blush) Y-Yeah.
Rebecca: Hey, Y/N? Are we there yet?
Y/N: I hope so. This map should take to where the bounty hunter was last located.
Happy: (nibbling on a fish) Still who would kidnap the princess?
Y/N: Beats me.
The group soon walked up a small hill and reached a quiet looking village, as Y/N looked at the map.
Y/N: Well this should be the place, now to find the person we're supposed to meet up with.
Shiki: This place looks quiet, there's not a single person left here.
Gray: They gotta all be inside.
Ur: No doubt due to the bounty hunter. (looks at Gray) And please put on your shirt.
Gray: Ah crap!
Erza: (stop clashing sword against Elsie) Yes, Gray and Ur must be right, no doubt this bounty hunter must be behind the quietness.
Elsie: Yeah.... It's too quiet.
???: Excuse me? Are you with Fairy Tail?
They turned and saw a cloaked figure emerging from the bushes.
Natsu: And if we say we were?
???: Then I'm the one you're supposed to meet with. (remove his hood) I'm Arcadios.
Y/N: You're the one who wrote the letter about a kidnapped princess?
Arcadios: Indeed. A few days ago, someone kidnapped the princess right out of her bedroom. We spent every minute we had to track her. Before someone saw a man flying through the air towards this village.
Shiki: Do you have any clue what he looks like?
Arcadios: Not much, only that this person has a strange device with them.
Rebecca: Strange device?
Pino: Could you explain what they saw?
Arcadios: Some kind of... strange flying machine.
Natsu: Flying.... Machine? (turn a bit green)
Happy: Oh Natsu.
Gray: You got any idea where he was going?
Arcadios: When we got here, we asked around and found out there's a cave nearby that is used sometimes for people on long delivery to keep the items safe. We moved the villages out for now to keep them safe. We hope that this figure has not noticed us.
Erza: A cave. You think that's where the kidnapper and the princess are?
Arcadios: We hope so.
Lucy: Do you have any idea what they want?
Arcadios: I am uncertain.
Erza: Don't worry we shall get her back.
Elsie: But before that what the rew- Ow!
Erza had stepped on Elsie's foot to silence her.
Erza: Careful sister, your greed is showing.
Y/N: Let's go to the cave and find out.
Arcadios: Thank you.
Happy: No problem!
Unknown to them, a small drone was watching them and it zoomed in on Y/N. And on a monitor, someone growled at his image.
???: Y/N Tennyson!
Meanwhile, the group was seen heading towards the cave Aracadios mentioned.
Pino: This must be the cave.
Robo-Happy: Yeah, you think the princess is here?
Happy: Or the kidnapper?
Y/N: We better find out, let's move.
Elsie: Wait! (requip a roll of duct tape and place a large strip on Natsu's mouth) To make sure he doesn't ruin any element of surprise we have.
Natsu: Mmhp!
Happy: She has a point, Natsu.
Natsu: Mmhp!
Gray: Oh be quiet, flame brain.
Soon they walked into the cave while being as quiet as possible, the group looked around the deep cave to find anything.
Lucy: (whispers) It's so dark. I could barely see.
Happy: (whispers) Hey, who has a hold on my tail?
Pino: (whispers) I believe that would be me.
Robo-Happy: (whispers) No you got my tail.
Happy: (whispers) Then who has mine?
Ur: (whispers) Not me.
Gray: (whispers) Nor me.
Lucy: (whispers) I'm holding Y/N's hand.
Natsu: Mmph.
Erza: (whispers) Not me.
Elsie: (whispers) Don't look at me! Not that you could.
Shiki: (whispers) I'm not the one.
Rebecca: (whispers) Wait, if none of us has Fairy Tail Happy's tail, who does?
???: That would be me.
Happy: (whispers) Please don't tell me you're the kidnapper?
???: Oh, but I am.
Soon a red glow illuminated the cave to reveal a man crouching down while holding Happy's tail. He was a hulking, humanoid being, with grey skin. He wore a black, overall-like outfit with red trim. He had long, white hair, and a scar on his left eye. His eyes were black with red pupils, and he had two slits for a nose. In addition to that, he also had a black trim around his face.
Y/N: (shocked) Sunder?!
Rebecca: (shocked) Sunder?! As in...
Robo-Happy: (shocked) Sunder the Retriever?!?!
Sunder: Y/N Tennyson, it's been a long time hasn't it?
Y/N: I thought I saw the last of you!
Sunder: Bounty Hunters aren't easy to get rid of, Tennyson. You should know that by now.
Natsu: Mmph!
Gray: You know this weirdo?
Y/N: He's a bounty hunter from my universe.
Happy: (afraid) By chance, could you ask him to LET ME GO!!!!
Sunder: If you insist. (throws Happy away)
Y/N: Where's the princess, Sunder?!
Sunder: Sorry, not telling you.
Natsu: Mmph! Mmph! Mmph!
Sunder: I see you picked some new friends. What's with the weirdo with the duct tape?
Elsie: Oh, I put it on to shut him up before our surprise attack was ruined.
Y/N: How did you get here? Did you end up transported here like Psyphon?
Sunder: Psyphon's here too? Well take about an odd chance. I don't know how I ended up here, all I know is. One moment, I was hunting a bounty next thing, I was here! Then I got a strange message to kidnap the princess of this place and I would be paid very handsomely.
Y/N: Classic bounty hunter. Well, sorry to ruin your payday, but we're taking the princess back!
Sunder: Says you, Tennyson! (point his axe at him) It's my lucky day, I get the money from the job and from your head!
Lucy: You lay a single finger on his head I will...
Sunder: Oh be quiet! (shoot a energy blast towards her)
Y/N: Lucy! (takes her away)
Natsu: (rips the duck tape off his mouth) Alright, you asked for it!
Natsu rushed at Sunder, who smirked before activating his glider and shooting towards Natsu who landed on the glider before reeling his fist back.
Natsu: Take this! Fire Dragon....
But he unfortunately couldn't finish as he realized what he was on, before turning green. Sunder raised an eyebrow at this.
Sunder: What's this? Are you feeling sick or something?
Natsu: (sick) Get me.... Off this thing.
Sunder: Ohhh, this is amusing.
Sunder wrapped a red energy rope around Natsu, who then fell over and was being dragged off by Sunder.
Gray: Try this! Ice-Make: Lance!
Gray unleashed a lance made out of ice at Sunder, who blasted it away, before slashed Gray with his axe.
Sunder: Ice powers, interesting. How about this?
Sunder threw a small red ball at Gray, which when came close enough exploded and covered him in a red goo. Who struggled to get out of the goo.
Gray: What the?
Erza summons a sword and jumps toward Sunder who blocked the strike with his axe.
Sunder: Ughh. Why is it that when I try to kill Tennyson someone tries to stop me?
Erza: Then perhaps you should try not killing him!
The two clash weapons with each other, before Elsie appeared and summoned her ether katana and joined her sister in battle, the two red-haired sister slowly pushed Sunder back, before he pulled out a strange blaster that unleashed a wave attack that sent them flying into the cave wall.
Shiki: Nobody hurts my friends! Magimech Attack: Gravity Wave!
Shiki using his Ether Gear pulled Sunder towards him.
Sunder: Gravity powers, huh? Try this!
Sunder threw a strange white ring that soon hovered over Shiki before expanding and capturing him.
Shiki: Hey! What is it and having aliens from another universe throwing rings at me?
Sunder: Anti-Gravity Rings. Able to stop beings able to use gravity in their wakes. Plus....
Soon the ring shocked Shiki.
Sunder: There's that.
Y/N: That's it! It's hero time!
He reached for his Omnitrix and selected the right alien for the job and with a green flash stood a green humanoid plant with one eye in the middle of his face, five vine-like legs, four long fingers on his hands, flytrap-shaped flaps with teeth covering his head, and fruits on his back. He also had a pair of secondary eyes of the same color on each of his shoulders. He wore the Omnitrix symbol on his chest.
Wildvine: Wildvine!
Rebecca: Wildvine! So cool!
Happy: He looks like a weird discount version of Swampfire.
Wildvine: Can Swampfire do this? (thoughts) You know I feel like I've done this before, but as Swampfire.
Wildvine threw the fruit he had on him at Sunder which exploded causing his glider to be tossed back.
Wildvine: How do you like that?
Wildvine: How do you like that?
Sunder: Clever, but not good enough.
Lucy: Well we got more in store for you!
Rebecca: That's right! Happy, now!
Robo-Happy: Right!
Soon Robo-Happy turned into his blaster mode and Rebecca shot at Sunder who was hit several times before he was able to move away.
???: Cool, that cat turned into a magic weapon.
Ur: Huh? Who said that?
They turned and saw a cage covered by a blanket, before Lucy took it off to reveal that a green haired girl who was wearing green pajamas was sitting in it.
???: Tell me, how did he do that?
Lucy: Are you the princess?
Hisui: Yes, I'm the princess. Greetings, my name is Hisui E. Fiore.
Wildvine: You alright?
Hisui: I am.
Sunder: Step away from the prisoner!
Rebecca: No way!
Rebecca once again shot at him, but he dodged the shots before Wildvine unleashed more of his fruit at him, catching off guard by the incoming exploding fruit.
Hisui: He's amazing.
Wildvine: Stand back, I got this.
Elsie: Hold it, I got this.
Elsie then took out a small needle like pick and placed it inside the lock before turning it a couple of times, before it became unlocked.
Elsie: Got it. (open the door) Come on, time to get out of here.
Sunder: No! That girl is mine!
Ur: Tough break! Ice-Make: Rosen Storm!
Ur unleashed a storm of ice petals at Sunder, he managed to dodge the attack but was forced back.
Wildvine: Lucy, Rebecca. I need you two to get her out of here.
Lucy: Okay!
Rebecca: Right.
Lucy took one of Hisui's hand and begin to take her out, but stopped real quick to give Wildvine a peck on the cheek.
Lucy: For luck.
Rebecca and Lucy took Hisui to safety.
Wildvine: Ur, any chance freeing Gray?
Ur: (points to him)
Wildvine saw that Gray in the process of getting out of the goo was on the floor and had his hands behind his back........... And somehow in his boxer.
Gray: Not gonna lie, it wasn't easy.
Wildvine: Where are your clothes?
Gray: (looks down) Aww crap!
Ur: Dumb kid. I still don't know where you got that from.
Wildvine: (blush) Ur..... where are you.... Clothes?
Ur: Huh? (looks down to her in her underwear) Damn it, Gray!
Sunder: You're not gonna stop me Tennyson! I will have that reward!
Wildvine: Says you!
Sunder, using his gilder, headed toward Wildvine who, using his arms like a whip struck Sunder in the chest before he could do it again. Sunder grab his arm and pulled him towards him then slammed his axe pommel into his chest.
Wildvine: (grunts in pain) Didn't see that coming.
Sunder: Nor this!
Sunder then using his axe cut off one his arms then punched him hard in the face sending him into the ground with a loud crash.
Wildvine's arm regenerated before he delivered a long arm punch at Sunder. Sunder recovered to see both Scarlet sisters in the Black Wing Armor headed towards him.
Erza and Elsie: Black Wing: Moon Flash!
Both of them unleashed a twin double slashed at Sunder who counted with a double energy blast stopping the attack.
Gray: How about this? Ice-Make: Hammer!
Ur: Ice-Make: Rosen Hammer!
Both Ice Wizards unleashed a twin hammer strike on Sunder who was sent flying into the cave wall.
Sunder: (gets up) I'm not finished yet!
Wildvine: Oh, you're about to be. Shiki! Natsu!
Natsu: Fire Dragon Iron Fist!
Shiki: Magimech Attack: Gravity Fist!
Both Natsu and Shiki delivered a double punch of fire and gravity at Sunder, causing him to fly off his glider and fall to the ground.
Sunder: (groan in pain) What the?
Natsu: You've lost now, glider boy.
Sunder: Glider Boy?! (grabs his axe) I teach you!
Sunder managed to get off the floor and rushed at Natsu with his axe, but his body was frozen solid leaving only his head not frozen.
Ur: That should chill you out.
Elsie then went over and gave Sunder a hard knock on his head knocking him out.
Elsie: And that should keep you quiet.
Wildvine: Nice going, now let's go meet up with Lucy and Rebecca and get the princess back home.
Everyone nodded as Shiki used his Ether Gear to make Sunder's frozen body float and soon everyone walked out of the cave to see Rebecca giving Robo-Happy to Hisui while Lucy watched.
Hisui: (holding Robo-Happy in her arms) You're so amazing! What else can you do?
Robo-Happy: Ow... she's crushing me...
Lucy: I thought you were a robot? Aren't you made out of tougher stuff than our Happy?
Gray: (looks at Sunder) Why are we bringing this guy with us?
Wildvine: To find out who hired him what else.
Natsu: Couldn't we just leave him in the cave?
Wildvine: And let him escape? Sure, that is a brilliant idea. Got any other brilliant ideas?
Sunder then begins to regain consciousness.
Sunder: Holding me prisoner, Tennyson? You should've taken the girl and ran away.
Hisui upon seeing him regain consciousness hid behind Wildvine while holding Robo-Happy with a scared face.
Wildvine: I'll ask you this once, Sunder. Who hired you to capture Hisui?
Sunder: I already told you, Tennyson! I don't know! The message I got had no name attached nor anything I could use to trace them. I know less than you do!
Elsie: I don't think he's lying, Y/N. Maybe Natsu was right to leave him in his mancave.
Wildvine: You may be right, but we still can't leave him running amok here. Besides, I think the King will give him a nice place for him in jail.
Sunder: Are you sure about that?
Sunder then breaks free from the ice before he throws a grenade that blasts everyone back as he jumps onto his glider.
Sunder: Make no mistake, Tennyson! If Psyphon and I could enter this world, then others would come here as well! And you and your friends will pay the price with your lives! (flies away)
Gray: He's getting away!
Sunder pulls out a dentetor and presses the button, causing the cave to explode. As it did, everyone was sent flying, as Happy landed he opened his eyes to see pieces of rock in the sky falling to the ground.
Happy: AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
Lucky Wildvine threw some of his seeds at them, destroying them before they could hit them, as he did Hisui looked at him with amazement in her eyes and a small blush on her face.
Wildvine: (notices Sunder was gone) He got away.
Rebecca: Well that's not good. (looks at Wildvine) First, Psyphon and now Sunder?
Wildvine: If that's true, then I have a feeling we're going to meet some other enemies from my universe too.
Hisui: Excuse me?
Wildvine turned to see Hisui with a shy look on her face while fidgeting her hands.
Y/N: (changes back) Oh, hey princess. You're not hurt, are you?
Hisui: No, I would like to thank you for saving me.
Y/N then smiles as he places his hand on her head, patting her.
Y/N: It's alright. I'm just glad you're safe.
Hisui blush on her face got redder as she shyly looked down, as she did, she began to think over something, before she reached into her pocket for something.
Hisui: I want you to have something.
She brought up her closed hand before she opened them to reveal a green ring.
Y/N: What's this?
Hisui: It's a ring, can I ask you for something?
Y/N: Sure. What is it?
Hisui: If... If I get in trouble again, will you come to rescue me or help me out like today?
Y/N: (smile) Of course I will. That's what heroes do.
Hisui: Then I want you to take this as a reminder of this promise.
Y/N: Okay then. (takes the ring)
Hisui: Thank you.
???: Princess!!!
As Y/N put the ring away, they all turned to see Arcadios running towards them with a few knights behind him.
Hisui: Acradios!
Arcadios: I am glad you're safe, princess. Your father was worried about you.
Hisui: It's alright, I'm safe now due to Fairy Tail. Especially Y/N here.
Arcadios: I see. (to Y/N's team) Thank you, Fairy Tail wizards. I am grateful to you all.
Y/N: It was no problem. We're just doing our job.
Shiki: Yeah, no biggie.
Erza: Yes, we're just glad that no harm came to the princess.
Lucy: But unfortunately the man who kidnapped her, Sunder, got away.
Elsie: And we didn't get any info on who hired him or why.
Arcadios: That can be dealt with later, what matters now is that Princess Hisui is safe.
Hisui: Arcadios, you should have seen them. They were amazing! They were like the ultimate group of wizards!
Arcadios: Perhaps you can explain to your father about them once we get you back home.
Hisui: Right! I hope my father isn't too worried about me. He can be a bit overprotected at times.
Hisui, Aracadios, and the knights began heading back to the kingdom of Crocus. But Hisui turned back and smiled and waved her hand at Y/N.
Hisui: Thank you, Y/N! I hope to see you again!
Y/N: (waves back) Me too, princess.
Hisui: Please call me by my name.
Y/N: Okay then, Hisui.
Hisui: Bye, Y/N! (begin to walk off with Arcadios)
Lucy: Looks like you got a fan.
Y/N: Yeah, I do.
Ur: Make sense, you know. You have a certain draw to you.
Erza: Well our job is done, let's get back now. We still got our little problem to deal with.
Natsu: And that's repairing the guildhall!
Rebecca: Right! (gain a worried look) But.....
Robo-Happy: What's wrong Rebecca?
Rebecca: I'm still worried about Sunder, I mean Psyphon shows up at Norma, and now Sunder on Earthland.
Y/N: You're not the only one, Rebecca. (thoughts) Did those two actually end up in this universe just like I did... or did someone brought them here on purpose?
(back at Hydra's Submarine on Earth)
Red Skull: It seems the capture of the Emerald Princess was a failure, as expected.
???: Yes, Sunder failed to complete his job. But....
Soon the drone showed another image this time it was a certain figure.
Psyphon: But my job was a smashing success. (holds up a orb) The tactic worked as expected.
MODOK: The last piece of the R-System.
Red Skull: Well done, Psyphon. You actually can do something right.
Psyphon: (growl at him) Silence, Skull Face! At least I didn't fail to end Captain America's life, the moment he was in another body!
???: That is enough. Now we can begin the next step of our plan. Psyphon, I want you to keep Tenyyson busy while my puppet finishes completing the R-System.
Psyphon: (bows) Of course! Your wish is my command. After all, I do own you....... Raven Beak.
The drone revealed the armored figure that was Raven Beak.
Raven Beak: Good. Get to it!
Chapter 28 ended.
