Chapter 28: The Fairy Hunter, the Black Angel, and the Rose

Raven had her hand on Omen, while she, Y/N, Ruby, Pyra Natsu, Wendy, Modeus, Happy, and Carla were backed towards the entrance while being glared at by the bizarro-Fairy Tail. Y/N had reached into his coat and held his Ebony pistol in case things turned ugly.

Lucy: Hey, what the heck do you think you're doing? What's the big idea with you sneaking around our guild?

Natsu: (stammered a bit) I don't know, why are you all acting so freaky?

Wendy: (to Modeus) You think this place has warped their minds somehow?

Modeus: Possibly, but I wouldn't make any accusations until we know more information.

Raven: Keep your guard up, no telling what they will do.

Agni and Rudra would have probably said something but Natsu had told them to be quiet as long as they were in this strange guildhall, and that is what they were planning on doing. While Ruby sneak one of her hand to Crescent Rose, Lucy took a good look at the dragon slayer.

Lucy: Natsu?

Natsu gulped a bit whereas Y/N got ready to pull out his pistol as did Raven and Ruby with their weapons, but no one was prepared for what came next.

Lucy: (hugged him) Why didn't you just say it was you, you big bone-head?

Y/N, Raven, Modeus, and Wendy were surprised to say the least. While Pyra and Ruby released a sigh of relief at this.

Max: Wait, that's Natsu?

Warren: That's quite a fashion-statement bro.

Mary: You have been gone for far too long, always the reckless one.

Lucy: Natsu, where have you been? I was thinking the worst happened. Don't ever make me worry like that again.

Y/N just gave a blank stare. He knew Natsu and Lucy were friends at least, but she never acted like this before. Raven just raised an eyebrow at this

Natsu: Ummm..... I'm sorry?

Lucy: No! But you're gonna be!

Lucy wrapped her legs around his neck and right arm, and he grimaced in pain.

Warren: She's got em good!

Max: No one can escape Lucy's Groin-Crush, it's one of her 48 Torture Techniques!

Raven: "Torture Techniques"? (to Y/N) You think Bayonetta got inside her head?

Y/N: I don't think so. 

Ruby: (white circles for eyes) I second that! What's going on here?!

Pyra: I have no idea. This is quite strange.

Cana strangely had a sweet smile on her face.

Cana: Lucy, don't be so hard on the poor thing, you know how he can be.

Happy: Whoa! Why isn't she half-naked and fully-drunk?!

Modeus turned to the crying Elfman.

Modeus: I seem to recall him being more of the kind of man that doesn't cry, and always preaching about manhood.

Jet and Droy: For crying out loud! Would you stop crying out loud!?

Elfman: I'm sorry I can't help it!

Mary: I swear this place is just too violet sometimes. Why can't we all just get along, violence is never the answer.

Happy: Why is the gun-wielding-Lady calling herself 'Mary' and acting like a pacifist?! Why is everyone acting so crazy!? My poor little brain feels like it's about to explode!

Y/N: Are these guys high or something...? No, it's something else.

Gray: We're glad you made it back in one piece. Right? My sweet Juvia?

Juvia: I thought I told you, loser! I already have someone else!!!

Ruby, Happy, and Carla stood close to Y/N.

Happy: Wendy's right. This place has changed them somehow. It's the only explanation for why they're being so weird.

Ruby: Y/N, what do we do?

Y/N glanced at Carla who was observing all of it. He had a feeling she was probably thinking the same thing he was thinking.

Mirajane: (called from the bar) Hey Natsu! Glad you made it back safely.

Natsu: At least Mira's the same.

Happy: Yeah that's kind of a disappointment.

Y/N: (thoughts) Something's definitely not right here.

Macao: (sees Ruby, Wendy, Happy, and Carla) By the way Natsu. What's with the little kids and the cats, you're a babysitter now?

Wakaba: (looks at Y/N, Pyra, Raven, and Modeus) Yeah, and what about those guys? Where'd you dig them up?

Ruby: (angry) LITTLE KID!!!! FOR YOUR RECORD, I'M 16!!!!!

But everyone soon had looks mixed with shock and terror.

Most of the guild members: WHAT ARE THESE CATS DOING HERE?!

Jet: How'd they get inside?!

Droy: Those aren't regular house cats, those are Exceeds!

Gray: No way...

Juvia: Shouldn't we do something?!

Mary: Are we going to die? Are they going to kill us?

Modeus: That title seems to carry some sort of fear and disdain with it.

Ruby: Hey! (hold out her hands) They are not going to kill you! Well, Happy I'm sure of. Carla,........ Well may scratch your eyes out.

Carla: Excuse me!

Ruby: Sorry, but listen as I said they are not gonna harm you.

Mirajane stepped up and kneeled close to Happy.

Mirajane: Well they do look a lot like them... Now I understand why everyone's so on edge.

Elfman: You know... I think that guy in the black is right. Don't worry, the little guys just look like Exceeds.

Juvia: Whatever you say.

Mary: (breathed a massive sigh of relief) Oh thank goodness.

Max: I got a bad feeling.

Warren: That makes two of us, I mean a spade's a spade.

Happy sighed and looked a bit dejected.

Happy: Uh... spade?

Y/N and Raven: It's a poker reference.

Meanwhile in the forest outside, not too far from the Guildhall, a certain individual was walking through the forest of Edolas.

This was a being at least six feet tall, clad completely in black armor with a dark red cape. He had a massive demonic-looking-sword sheathed on his back. He also had a black helmet with curved horns pointing downward and an emotionless face on the helmet. His most unique feature were yellow eyes that carried a strong sense of evil with them.

(with Y/N's and his group)

Ruby: Ummmmm. Can I help you all?

Ruby, Natsu, Y/N, Pyra, Happy, and Carla were sitting at a table, being glared at by Lucy. Mira and Mary also sat at the same table, while Wendy was standing close to Modeus as Raven stood next to them as she still had her hand on Omen ready to unleash it at any time.

Wendy: Lucy's really scary.

Modeus: This is not right.

Lucy: Spill it cat-wrangler, I want to know where you've been and what you've been doing.

Natsu: I don't suppose I can get back to you on that.

Lucy: (slams her hand down on the table) ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION!!!

Ruby: (point at her) Swear!

Y/N: We don't have time for this so just tell her everything.

Natsu: (sighed) Fine, but then again I was asleep during most of it.

Lucy then put him into another torture-hold.

Lucy: Geeze! Can you be anymore annoying, just spit it out!

Mary: My goodness, Lucy, take it easy on him, would you? It's bad enough that it's too dangerous to go outside, but no one would want to come home to be tortured by you.

Lucy: You're not my mom!

Mary: No, but I can get the Master if you like. She is asleep in her office.

Lucy: Fine.

Lucy let him go, causing Natsu to fall on the ground.

Happy: Since when is Lady the one to break up a fight?

Raven: Never. Dante knew her the longest and he said she never did anything like that.

Gray: So Juvia... I heard you're going on a job soon, if you want some company I'd love to come with you.

Juvia: Why would I want help from a walking-coat-rack? Don't make me laugh, I can handle any job on my own, I don't need a partner. And I told you to stop trying to make a move on me!

Gray looked dejected at Juvia's statement.

Marco: You know sometimes the best course of reaction is to give it a rest.

Wakaba: No kidding. When it comes to the ladies, you're more of a lost cause than Lyon.

Gray: I can't believe you would compare me to that over-clothed pick-up artist. (to Juvia) Please my darling, I'll be a good boy.

Juvia had an anger mark on her head as she kicked Gray away like a soccer-ball. He even bounced all around the room like a soccer ball too, until Mary finally caught him.

Mary: Gray, you know I do not like hurting people's feelings, but I don't think Juvia is too interested in you, I'm sorry.

Gray had comical tears coming from his eyes.

Gray: But she's my Juvia...

Mary consoled by patting his back.

Mary: How about I get you some hot chocolate, okay? Will that cheer you up?

Gray: Yes please, thank you Mary.

Ruby: (to Y/N in a hush tone) Didn't you say she was trying to get with him back before you joined?

Y/N: It's... complicated. Though, I never expected Juvia to be so brutal.

Raven: Mary? But Dante said she swore.......

Meanwhile; Levy appeared to be working on some kind of large machine in the back.

Levy: Of course the conducting wire is shorted out, just my luck.

As she worked, Nab continued to run around saying that he's going on yet another job. Levy couldn't take any more.

Levy: Darn it now, would you put a sock in it?!

Nab: What'd you say to me? You need a major tune up on your attitude, Levy.

Levy: I don't have time for your lame jokes, did you forget how vital this machine is? (goes back to work) I can't get it working with you screaming like a little kid every four seconds!

Lucy: Come out and play Natsu! I got a new technique that I want to try on you!

Levy: That goes double for you Blondie, shut your trap!

Lucy: What was that?!

Mary sweat dropped as she rubbed her hand down her face.

Mary: Oh geez, not again.

Max: Somebody get the Master again.

Levy and Lucy were bunting their heads together.

Levy: It's hard enough to finish this job without you acting like a crazed gorilla you branny beast!

Lucy: That's funny coming from a scrawny grease monkey who can't even fix one piece of junk!

Mary: Hey come on, we're all friends here. Besides Lucy, Levy's machine has saved our lives more times than I'd care to mention, you should show her more respect.

Levy shot a victorious smile towards Lucy.

Lucy: What? Quit wasting time and get that thing working.

Levy: Well that is what I do best.

Meanwhile; Wendy, Y/N, Pyra, Ruby, Modeus and Carla sat at a table with Natsu and Happy hiding under it While Raven stood up with her hand still over Omen.

Y/N: You know, we've seen most of our friends here, but we haven't seen Erza around.

Wendy: Yeah you're right. I haven't heard anyone even mention her name.

Modeus: That may not be entirely bad, considering how everyone here is acting like the complete opposite of their normal behaviors.

Raven: No telling what she will be like.

Natsu: Well with our luck, she'd be even more psycho than Lucy.

Wendy: I hope not.

Happy: It's hard to imagine what Erza's opposite would be like.

Natsu: Maybe it's something like this...

Take One!

Natsu: ARE YOU A COMPLETE AND UTTER MORON!? (pointing to a crying Erza on her knees) 

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CLEAN UP YOUR MESSES HUH?!

Erza cried and bowed her head repeatedly.

Erza: I'm so sorry! Forgive me Natsu! I won't be a burden to you anymore just give me another chance!

Natsu: Apology accepted. Keep trying and you'll be as strong as me.

Erza: (crying tears of joy) My greatest wish, master.

Reality

Natsu: (mischievous grin) Like that.

Raven: (deadpan look) Tell me, were you by chance drop on your head as a baby?

Happy: Yeah there's no way bizarro-Erza would be that pathetic.

Modeus: Do you have an idea of what she would be like?

Happy: Oh I just don't think, friend. I know.

Take Two!

Erza stood wielding her sword against a massive dragon-like creature.

Erza: Lord Happy, allow me to take care of this nuisance.

Happy: (crossed arms and a cocky-smile) Aye. I shall leave it to you.

Erza: (turned around to him) Thank you lord. I will use every tool in my arsenal to serve your will.

Happy meanwhile sat on a beach-chair with sunglasses, an umbrella over him, a table with fish and juice on it.

Happy: Yes, yes, that's quite reassuring. Now hop to it my faithful servant, chop-chop.

Erza: Aye sir!

Reality

Raven: (deadpan look) Okay, I can tell Natsu dropped you on your head when you were a infant too.

Y/N: Yeah, that's even more pathetic than Natsu's idea.

Natsu: No kidding. And you had the nerve to make fun of my fantasy?

Wendy began to think a bit.

Wendy: I think I'd know what she'd be like.

Take Three!

Wendy and Erza were surrounded by dozens of massive strawberry cakes. Erza was in a bathing suit with an apron and a chef's hat with a mixing bowl and beater.

Erza: (sweet-tone) I baked them just for you, so don't let them go to waste. Eat as much as your little heart desires.

Wendy: (marveled at the sight) Thank you so much! They look delicious!

Erza: (laughed) Just be sure to floss afterwards.

Reality

Wendy: Like that.

Ruby: (drools) Does she make chocolate chip cookies too?

Natsu and Happy: You gotta be kidding!

Modeus: That's sweet. You make it as though she was your mother.

Wendy: (blushed a bit with a smile) I do kinda see her like that.

Y/N: Well, this is all good and everything, but I don't think she'd be like any of that.

Raven: (looks at Y/N) You think what I'm thinking?

Y/N: Yup.

Wendy: Oh, so how would you both see her?

Y/N: Something along the lines of...

Take Four!

Erza bowed before a massive black cloud with three red eyes in the center.

Erza: What is your command Lord Mundus? I am but an extension of your will. Just say the word and it shall be done master.

Mundus: You are my greatest servant. My Demon-Queen. You shall clear the path and destroy the pests of humanity to make way for my darkness that will stand till the end of time.

Erza: My desire is your desire. (stood up) I shall destroy all who dare oppose you and bring their heads to you on a pike.

Mundus: I could not have asked for a better warrior.

Reality

Y/N: Something, like that.

Raven: Yup, kinda fits her to be honest.

Ruby, Wendy, Happy, even Natsu looked with wide eyes at that.

Wendy: I'm scared.

Modeus: You would truly see her as a servant of Mundus?

Y/N: Hey, you guys asked!

Happy: You and Raven got a seriously messed up imagination Y/N.

Raven: (shrugs) Again, you asked us.

Ruby: I know I only knew her for a few days, but she wouldn't do that right? (look at Pyra) Right?

Pyra: Of course she wouldn't. Now, (look at Y/N and Raven) the two of you truly don't know Erza. She would never do that.

Carla heard all of this.

Carla: What did you expect? Y/N is half-demon after all and Raven is a former bandit.

Modeus: Still, it makes me wonder what Erza would be like here in Edolas.

Meanwhile; a certain redhead was riding on a dragon-like creature that flew through the air. 

Her face contained no emotion what-so-ever as she flew to her destination.

(Back with Y/N and his friends)

Lucy: Hide and seek is over!

Lucy pulled Natsu out from under the table.

Natsu: Man you're obsessive!

Lucy: This new move is gonna rock your socks off!

Natsu: Quit it! I don't have time for this freaky pain thing when...

Lucy: That's so? So you wanna play rough? I like that game.

Before she could punch though, someone grabbed her hand.

Y/N: (held Lucy's fist) Okay, that's enough.

Lucy: (pulled it back) Mind your own business pretty boy.

Natsu, Wendy, Happy, and Modeus: "Pretty boy"?

Raven, Ruby, and Pyra: "Pretty boy"!!!

Y/N: Look. I like a good beating every now and then, but you need to back off and take a chill pill, you got that?

Lucy looked shocked at that, as did the rest of the guild.

Cana: (covered her mouth) This guy is talking back to Lucy?

Bisca: Only one other person did that.

Gray: And failed from time to time if you also recalled.

Warren: That's a brave man.

Max: Brave, or stupid?

Lucy: Oh, so you wanna play rough too, buddy? Okay, I'll play rough!

Lucy tried to put Y/N in a choke-hold, but he caught both of her hands. The next thing she knew, she was thrown into a table, which broke upon impact.

The guild was rendered silent at what just happened. Lucy tried to get up, but didn't make much distance as Rebellion was pointed towards her.

Y/N: I don't normally hit girls. But you needed to be taken down a peg. So, back off, or you'll answer to me, am I clear?

???: What is going on down there?!

Lucy: Crap, it's the Master!

They all turned to the second floor where they heard someone behind a door.

Levy: Great work! You woke her up!

Lucy: Shut up, Levy! It's all his fault for butting in!

???: I swear if it's another one of Lucy's and Levy's fights, It's not gonna be pretty.

The figure opened the door and came down the stairs, it was at the moment when Y/N widened his eyes in shock that made him dropped Rebellion.

Y/N: (shocked) I...Impossible...

Raven: (shocked) It..... it can't be.

Ruby: (shocked) N...No way...  

The figure standing before them had her eyes shut in annoyance, she had long black hair that reached her behind, it also slowly turned to red as it reached the end, she had a black half-cut dress with short sleeves. The dress also had a white stripes with a deep cut in the back that exposed her back. She also had a long white robe that reached her feet. And she wore simple black sandals.

Woman: Alright, Lucy, Levy, what did you do this—

As the woman opened her silver eyes, they were widened in shock.

Y/N: (shocked) M...M...M... Mom...? 

Woman: (shocked) Y....Y...Y...Y/N? (looks at Raven) R.....Raven? (look at Ruby) R....R....Ruby?

Raven: (shocked) S...Summer... you're...

Pyra: What did you say, Summer?

Wendy: As in Ruby and Y/N's mother?

Lucy: (whispers) Did she say Y/N?!

Summer: (shocked) This.... This is another dream, isn't it? I was sleeping at the desk again, I know. (looks at Y/N) Right?

Y/N slowly walked to Summer as he slowly put his hand on her cheek before he started crying.

Y/N: (crying) It's not a dream... it really is you.

Summer: (eyes begin to water) Y/N!!!!!!!!! (hugs him with all her strength)

Y/N also hugs back as the two were crying in tears of joy. Summer looked at Raven before she hugged her as well.

Summer: (crying) IT'S REALLY YOU!!!! OH THANKS THE BROTHERS!!!!

Raven: (crying) Summer...! (hugs back) 

Summer looked at Ruby too, before going over and hugging her too.

Summer: (crying) I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN!!!!

Ruby: (crying) MOM!!!!!!! (hugs back) 

Summer: (looks at Ruby before putting her hands on her cheeks) Look at you! You got so big! And you look so much like me!! (hugs her again) It's like looking in a mirror!

Ruby: I missed you mom! 

Summer: Oh, I missed you too sweetie, all of you!

Raven and Y/N smiled while wiping their tears while Summer lifted up Ruby and began to spin her around.

Summer: (smile) I cannot believe this! You're really here! (puts Ruby down near Raven and Y/N) Tell you the truth, I almost gave up hope that I would ever see you again!

Y/N: Mom...

Summer: (puts a hand on Y/N cheeks) Look at you! Just like Ruby, you've gotten so big, I can see your father in you! (looks at Raven) Raven! If you're here does that mean you finally...?

Raven: Yeah, I'm back with the family now. My REAL family.

Summer: YES!!! (hugs Raven) I just knew one day, you would finally get the courage to stand and fight! (moves back) But I was hoping it would be much earlier, but you take what you take! (hugs her again)

The guild honestly did not know what to say at this.

Mary: No way. The Master has children?

Cana: And one of them is the guy who took down Lucy.

Gray: Also did she say Y/N?

The female members of Fairy Tail widen their eyes. 

Lucy: (walks toward Y/N) You. Did I hear that right? Is your name Y/N?

Y/N: Umm... yeah?

Summer: That's right! His name is Y/N!

Lucy placed her hands on his cheeks.

Y/N: Wait, what are you—

He was cut off when Lucy suddenly gave him a kiss on the lips.

Summer: Huh?

Raven, Ruby, Pyra, and Wendy: What the?! 

Natsu, and Happy: (jaws drop)

Modeus: Oh my.

Y/N widened his eyes in a mixture of surprise and confusion as his face turned red as Erza's hair color. As he did, Summer keep repeating one word over and over.

Summer: Huh?....... Huh?....... Huh?.........

Lucy: (broke the kiss) You came back. What took you so long?

Y/N: (confused, while blushing) Uhhhhh....

EricHuber9: (whispers) Bzzzz. Say traffic.

Sambamhaw: (whispers) Shhh... you're ruining the moment. 

EricHuber9: (whispers) What moment? Everyone standing around is confused.

Sambamhaw: (whispers) So? Let's leave them be and continue the story. 

EricHuber9: (whispers) Alright! Let's get on with the show. (leaves)

Lucy: Why didn't you tell us you were coming back?

Y/N: I... 

Juvia: (hearts in her eyes) Oh my sweet darling~! (pushes Lucy away) You came back to me!

Y/N: Juvia! 

Juvia: (hearts in her eyes) Oh my sweet Y/N! I was so lonely without you! But now you returned to me!

Y/N: Actually... 

Levy: You jerk! If you want to visit, you should've said so.

Y/N: I wasn't... 

Levy: Don't say it! We've been waiting forever!

Bisca: She's right! You made us worried sick!

Y/N: Okay, calm down.

Bisca: We know you have to find a good time, but you haven't been around in a while.

Y/N: I didn't say I was gone for a while.

Mirajane: For a while? It's more like you haven't been around in 3 years!

Y/N: Wait, 3 years? 

Cana: Yes, why haven't you come in all that all time?

Y/N: Listen, I...

Slowly backed away, Y/N ended up bumping into someone. 

Y/N: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... 

However, Y/N's eyes widen in surprised when he saw a young woman who looked like a grown up version of Wendy.

Older Wendy: Y/N? You came back, I missed you!

Y/N: (shocked) WENDY?!?!?!?

Wendy: (shocked) Are you saying that's me?!

Modeus: A more, grown-up, version of you.

Older Wendy: The guild hasn't been the same without you, cutie. 

Y/N: Wait, this is...

He was cut off when felt his butt was grabbed as he turned and saw Lucy.

Y/N: L-Lucy?! What are you...

Lucy: What else would I do? It's been 3 years! You didn't come on the day you promised to meet up!

Y/N: I did? 

Lucy: Yeah, you jerk! We were going to take the next step!

Y/N: The next step?

Lucy: Yeah! The next step!

Y/N: I... don't know what you're talking about?

But Lucy doesn't buy it, thinking he was bluffering his way out of this.

Lucy: Ohhhh! Trying to weasel out, are we?! Well not this time!

Y/N: What? 

Lucy: You are going to keep your word and now that you're finally here! You are not getting out of it!

Y/N: What are you...

Lucy: Stop it! Now get your cute butt to my room! Or else I'll drag you there!

Y/N: Drag me? How are you...

Suddenly, Y/N was already being dragged by Lucy.

Y/N: Hey, cut it out! Let go!

Lucy: No way! You're going do it and like it!

Y/N: This is scary! Someone help me!

Juvia: Hey! You better not leave me out of this!

Levy: Yeah! I thought we solved this problem after Y/N didn't show up after 2 months. 

Bisca: No fair!

Cana: You have to share Lucy.

Mirajane: It's what we agreed on, remember?

Older Wendy: Leave some for me too! 

The girls followed after them as they and Y/N ended up inside Lucy's bedroom.

Natsu: What was that all about?

Raven: Summer, do you know what.... That was....all.

Summer was still repeating Huh over and over again.

Summer: Huh?..... Huh?..... Huh?..... Huh?..... Huh?..... Huh?..... Huh?

Raven: SUMMER!!!!! (grabs her by the shoulder and shakes her) Snaps out of it!

Summer: Huh? What? How? Who? When? (looks at Raven) Thanks Rav. (look around) Where's Y/N?

Ruby: The girls took him to Lucy's room.

???: Oh, I wouldn't worry about it.

A certain voice spoke up, it came from a certain white haired girl who looked towards them.

???: They have missed him for 3 years, so I wouldn't blame them.

Summer: Oh boy, I thought my advice to them would have helped them.

Natsu looked at this girl and could not believe what he was seeing. His pupils shrank.

Raven: Sums, what the hell is going on here?

Summer and Ruby: (points at her) Swear!!!

Raven: (annoyed) Now I have to deal with two of that!

Happy: Am I dreaming?

Modeus: (to Wendy) Who is that? I never saw her around the guild before back in Earthland.

Wendy: Neither have I.

Elfman: Hey, welcome home, Lisanna.

Lisanna: Good to see you, bro.

Pyra: (surprised) Lisanna?

Modeus: Did you say 'Lisanna'? Mirajane and Elfman's younger sister?

Pyra: (nodded)

Modeus: I thought she had passed away.

Pyra: I heard that too.

Summer: Lisanna, could you be a dear and tell your sister that I need to talk to Y/N for a bit in my office?

Lisanna: (sighs) I could, but you know how she gets when it comes to Y/N.

Summer: (put her hand in hers) Please, I need to talk to him at once.

Lisanna: Okay, I'll try my best.

Summer: That's all I ask. 

Natsu still couldn't believe who stood in front of him.

Natsu: It's... really... you...

Happy: (tearing) She's alive...

(flashback)

Natsu immediately flashed back to many years ago, right when he first joined up with Fairy Tail.

Little Natsu sat near the water in the middle of a storm. He didn't mind the rain that was pouring down on him, or the thunder that echoed in the sky. Though he still looked down with a face that was evidently filled with loneliness and sadness.

Little Lisanna walked up to him with a red umbrella and put it over him to shield him from the rain.

Lisanna: You're gonna catch a cold, you know.

Natsu: Oh hey. Um... what was your name again?

Lisanna: I'm Lisanna, silly.

Little Natsu then remembered.

Natsu: (stood up) That's right, you're Mira's little sister.

Lisanna: Got it. So why are you out here all alone? It's much more cozy inside.

Little Natsu looked down, as he didn't have an answer.

Lisanna: It's okay, you don't have to answer that one. So Natsu, is it true you were raised by a dragon? That's incredible!

Natsu perked up a bit.

Natsu: Yeah, his name's Igneel.

Lisanna: I'd love to see one for myself some day. It sounds fun!

Little Natsu had a smile on his face now.

Natsu: Sure, Igneel's awesome! I'd bet you'd really like him! He's super strong and as big as a house! He taught me all the Dragon Slayer magic I know, wanna see?

Lisanna: You bet, but let's get out of the rain first.

Natsu: Okay.

(flashback ended)

Ruby looked towards Natsu who couldn't take his eyes off Lisanna, she could probably guess what she was thinking right now. All sorts of memories and emotions wheeled up in Natsu as his heart began to race.

???: It's been fun playing house with you. Maybe someday I can be your real wife?

???: It's so pretty!

???: It would be nice if we could stay like this forever, don't you think?

Tears formed in Natsu's eyes as all these words and memories played in his mind as if it were yesterday.

(flashback)

Little Natsu carried the egg that held the yet-to-be-born Happy in the little house, where little Lisanna greeted him.

Lisanna: Welcome back dear.

Natsu: (confused) Oh... uh... what...?

Lisanna: (pouts) I said 'welcome back dear'!

Natsu: Oh... uh... Hi honey, I'm home?

Lisanna was blushing.

(flashback 2)

Natsu: Hey Lisanna, what are you doing?

Little Natsu carried little Happy and they saw little Lisanna set up some flowers near a grave.

Lisanna: Just putting some flowers for big-brother-Elfman's pet bird.

Natsu: Your brother made that grave-stone all by himself?

Little Lisanna put her hands together as though she were praying.

Lisanna: He loved his little bird so much.

Natsu: He's better at crafting than magic.

Lisanna: (turned to little Natsu and Happy) Hey Natsu, if anything happens to me, would you make my grave-stone?

Natsu: Huh?! What are you even talking about?!

Happy: Are you going to go where the birdy went?

Natsu: Cut it out! It's bad luck to talk like that and it's creepy.

Little Lisanna still had a smile on her face.

Lisanna: Someday everybody needs a grave-stone of their own.

Two years before present day

Natsu and Happy came into the guildhall to find everyone crying. People say that they can't believe she's gone and there isn't even a body for them to bring back. Natsu looked to see Mira and Elfman in tears. The teary-eyed Mira looked at Natsu and he immediately knew what it meant.

Natsu and Happy both stood before the grave that he had made for her, with a bouquet of flowers laid in front of it. The stone stood in front of the little house the two made in their childhood for Happy while he was still an egg.

Happy: Natsu? Why'd you make a grave for her out here when there was already one at the church?

Natsu: This was her favorite spot. She'd love... to sit and watch the sunset. As long as this is here, she'll never miss a single one.

Happy: You're right.

Tears fell down the Dragon Slayer's face. It felt as though something from his heart had been cut out.

Natsu: I wish I... could have told her... I... couldn't keep my promise... I... I won't be able to find her this time.

(flashback 3)

Lisanna: Natsu! I'll be home real soon.

(flashback 4)

Lisanna: Hey, if I ever went missing like that you'd come looking for me, wouldn't you? You wouldn't just let me stay gone right?

Present Time, Edolas

Natsu: (crying) ...I found you...

Natsu would likely have done something stupid and embarrassing, if it weren't for Raven, who just put a hand on his shoulder.

Raven: I know what you're thinking, but settle down.

Natsu: But she....

Raven: Just wait until Y/N gets back and Sums explain what's going on to us. I know I don't know you that much. But wait.

Natsu looked while Raven takes him to the others.

Summer: (looks at Natsu) Raven's right, I will explain everything. Trust me, I been here longer than anyone.

Lisanna: Um, Master... I don't think I should disturb them. They're gonna do the... you know.

Summer: Tell them that if Y/N is not here in 5 seconds, I do THAT to them, got it?

Lisanna: Okay. But they'll eventually come back for him, just to let you know. (goes back) 

Summer: (sighs) It's hard running this place. (looks at the group) I do apologise for anything they've done to you.

Pyra: It's alright.

Ruby: Mom, you're the guild's Master?

Summer: Yes, sweetie. It's a complex story. Wait until your brother gets back here.

Just then, Y/N arrived back at a fast pace though his face was madly red with steam coming out of his ears.

Happy: Y/N is acting like a steam engine!

Wendy: Are you okay?

Y/N: (blush) I don't want to talk about what I saw.

Summer: Sorry, Y/N. I didn't think that your counterpart would be the man they were pining over. They always said his last name.

Y/N: Wait, hold on, my counterpart?

Summer: Yes.... that. (looks around) Come to my office. I will explain everything. (walks to the stair)

Soon they were walking up the stairs following her.

Pyra: So, these people are counterparts of the Fairy Tail guild? 

Summer: Yes, (open the door and allow them to enter) That's the first thing I learned about this place. (closed the door)

They looked around her office to see the floor covered with books, maps, and ancient scrolls.

Natsu: Wow, for a Guild Master, you sure leave your office messy.

Summer: Yeah, this is all my stuff that I have on theory of other dimensions. Do mind the mess. (walks over piles of books) I tried to keep it neat. But eventually, I stopped, you know. Too much stuff to organise. (seats down at her office) So, I guess you were brought by that stupid Anima.

Wendy: Actually, we just entered through it.

Raven: Summer, how long have you been here? Everyone, and even I assured you were dead.

Summer: (sighs and looks at Y/N and Ruby) I guess you told them about our attempt to save Dante?

Raven: Yes, though B/N figured it out by himself.

Summer: B/N?! Is he here too?

Y/N: No, mom, he's not. But we can talk about that later. For now, I want to know. Why? Why did you lie to us? Why did you leave us in an attempt to save our father? 

Summer: (sighs) I did it because I missed your father so much. I keep inside of me, but I missed Dante so bad! I didn't mean to lie to you four or Tai or Qrow. I..... I just want him back in my arms again.

Ruby: Mom... 

Summer: I know what I did was wrong. Maybe me ended up here was my punishment. To be away from my friends, my children.

Y/N: (sigh) Mom... I don't blame you for what happened.

Summer: Well, you should. I swore to love you and protect you, but I ended up breaking it. (place her face on the desk) God knows what it did to Yang. (raise her head to them) I just thought I could use that device and Raven's Sembrance to get Dante back. So you could have your father again.

Ruby: But, you ended up here instead.

Summer: Yes. (lean back in her chain) I guess I can count my lucky star for that. Or, well, unlucky star. When I awoke I found myself here. And as I said the first thing, I learned that Edolas and our world have something in common. They have the same people although you probably saw that already.

Modeus: Yes, their personalities were different from how I remembered.

Summer: Yeah, that I noticed too when I got here. (looks at Ruby) In fact, I did see a copy of Tai when I first arrived here. He was completely different from the Tai in our world.

Ruby: Really?

Raven: What was he like?

Summer: Well, he had no sense of humor, was getting into fights every second of his life, and most importantly he didn't have any kids. No Yang, no Ruby. 

Ruby: Oh...

Summer: Yeah, another thing I learned. While someone like Yang could exist in our world, the same could not be said for here. Also, people who are dead are alive here or people who are alive are dead here.

Happy: That's so weird.

Summer: Yeah, that's it in a nutshell. Now I take it, you notice some people reacting weirdly to you, it's not the same as people would in our world. I mean, besides pointing out the whole talking and flying thing.

Carla: The Exceeds.

Pyra: But, what are Exceeds exactly?

Summer: (points at Happy and Carla) Them. Those two are Exceeds.

Happy: Us?!

Summer: Yes, you were born from an egg, right?

Happy: Yeah, that's how Natsu found me.

Carla: The same for Wendy.

Summer: Yes, the info I found was correct, they did send some of their own kinds to our world. Listen well, the Exceeds are a race of talking cats capable of using a powerful form of flying magic called Aero. And as well as this world's gods.

Happy: Gods?

Y/N: Gods? These guys?

Summer: Yes, but don't be fooled. They have quite a few tricks up their sleeves. I myself even sneaked into their "Holy Land" to obtain info. From what I saw and obtained, Aero isn't the only trick they can do.

Wendy: What do you mean?

Before Summer could explain, Nab came inside with a look of terror on his face.

Nab: We got big trouble! THE FAIRY HUTNER'S HERE!!!

Everyone in the Edolas Fairy Tail had a look of shock and terror on his or her face.

Mary: And it's not just her! She's got a friend, The Black Angel is with her too!

Almost everyone in the Edolas Fairy Tail: THE BLACK ANGEL?!?!

That name would seem to strike even more terror than 'Fairy Hunter

Summer: Damnit! No not, now! (run out of the room and place her hands on the railing) Listen, commences our Escape Plan: Wheels! We need to get out of here now!

Max: The Fairy Hunter and The Black Angel!? How'd they even find us!?

Warren: We can't stand against either one of them, how can we handle both?!

Cana: Those monsters, from the Kingdom. Will they never stop hunting us?!

Macao and Wakaba: I don't know if we'll get out of this one.

Happy: (to Carla) The Kingdom?!

Carla: They're the ones who created Anima and sent the two of us on our mission to Earthland.

Happy: But that means.... You and I are enemies of Fairy Tail!

Levy was sitting in her machine, preparing the device.

Levy: Preparing reactor for ignition! Entering coordinates!

The machine began to hum to life.

Levy: Automated error-correction in five... four... three... two... one! We're connected! Routing magic power to shock-absorbers!

Lucy: Shut up and cast the teleportation circle already!

Levy: You wanna go out there and buy us some time?!

Mirajane and Elfman held Lisanna close as the guildhall itself began to shake and pebbles slowly rose from the ground and into the air.

Lucy: (sarcastic) You're so funny! Just cast it before those two get here!

Levy: I'm trying, don't rush me!

Summer: Girls! Don't fight now!

Y/N: Mom? What's going on?

Summer: Two of our biggest problems!

The entire building was shaking even more and began to vibrate at an intense rate as all the Edolas wizards inside began to panic as fear clearly set in.

Happy: What's going on here?!

Wendy: (scared) Modeus... I don't like this.

Modeus: Just stay close to me and you'll be fine.

Mary: Levy, hurry. Both those monsters are on our doorstep!

Levy: You wanna walk instead?!

The building vibrated even more.

Levy: Two minutes to teleport!

Mary: You don't have two minutes!

That voice made all of the Edolas Wizards, even Wendy, shudder in fear as they looked to the door that burst open.

Elfman: THEY'RE HERE!!!

The Fairy Hunter's massive flying steed hung over the building; but what was even more terrifying to them was the black smoke from the ground outside.

They all looked to see dark electricity emerge from the smoke and a humanoid being slowly rise from it; the very same that was trekking the woods some time ago. His yellow eyes bore a hole in the souls of all Edolas Fairy Tail members.

Mary: It's him... The Black Angel... Nelo Angelo!

He drew his sword, which surged with dark lightning.

Nelo Angelo: Fairy Tail... we meet at last.

All the Edolas Fairy Tail wizards looked in fear except for Levy who tried to prepare the spell and Summer who had a brave face on. Y/N, Pyra, Ruby, Raven, Natsu, Wendy, Modeus, Happy, and Carle looked to this being and knew that he was not a normal person.

Nelo Angelo: Finally, the last of the guilds will be destroyed. Now, prepare to die!

He surged forward while everyone screamed. However, all they heard was a clash of metal. They looked to see Summer with a black and gold axe in her hand blocking the attack.

Nelo Angelo: Summer Rose.

Summer: Nelo. I thought I told you to STAY AWAY!!!

Summer pushed him back and then turned her weapon into a rifle before shooting several bullets at him. He deflects them with his sword before unleashing dark lightning at her. But when the lightning went towards her she turned into rose petals and appeared behind him, with her weapon back in its axe mode. She then yelled at him and slashed him in the back, sending him crashing into the ground.

???: How pathetic.

Nelo Angelo suddenly came behind Summer and grabbed her by the neck before slamming her down on the ground.

Edolas Fairy Tail: MASTER!!! 

Summer: Ahhhh! (reach for her weapon) It's not over, Nelo!

Nelo Angelo: Now you'll die first, before I kill your so-called children!

Nelo Angelo swings his sword at Summer, but...

*Clash!*

All the Edolas Fairy Tail wizards looked in surprise to see Y/N using Rebellion to block Nelo Angelo's sword strike before he could get in the building. Nelo Angelo looked at Y/N and his yellow eyes widened in shock.

Nelo Angelo: (shocked) Impossible!

Y/N: (stern) Stay the fuck away from my mother.

Y/N kicked Nelo Angelo in the chest, forcing him to let go of Summer and kicking him out. Using this opportunity, Y/N swung Rebellion and gathered some of the active magic in the air from the spell. He then sent a red energy wave from Rebellion that hit Nelo Angelo dead on and sent him skidding across the ground.

Summer: (surprised) Y/N?

Lucy: Be amazed later! Levy GET US OUT OF HERE NOW!!!

Wendy: But why would the Kingdom send these two after Fairy Tail?! I don't understand!

Edolas Wendy: Are you that out of the loop?! The King ordered all guilds destroyed to protect the limited magic supply! Out of all of them, only one is still standing, and it's this one! I don't know where you think you are, but this is Fairy Tail, and we're a Dark Guild!

Wendy and Modeus both became shocked at this.

Modeus: What did you say?

Lucy: Alright! Teleportation circle deploying!

Levy activated the machine and it began to vibrate and look as though it were turning intangible. Everyone soon rose in the air as the spell worked.

Nelo Angelo got himself back up outside and could see the guildhall about to disappear.

Natsu: WHY IS EVERYTHING FLOATING?!?!

Summer: Levy, please hurry! We don't have much time left!

Levy: Right! Commence Teleport!

Nelo Angelo rushed towards the guildhall and the Fairy Hunter did the same on her steed.

Natsu: Wait a second... this is a vehicle?!

Y/N saw Natsu's cheeks puff up, his motion-sickness getting to him.

Y/N: Aw crap.

The entire building was engulfed in a white light. It soon vanished from sight and sunk underground just as the Fairy Hunter's flying steed and Nelo Angelo got it. All that was left was a smoking crater.

The Fairy Hunter: Filthy cowards!

Nelo Angelo: Even after all this time, Summer Rose still has the drive to fight us.

The Fairy Hunter: Insects should be squashed, not praised. And you were here before I. How could you have failed to slay one, Black Angel?

Nelo Angelo: I nearly had Summer Rose's head. But one caught me off guard, I was careless. But they were not my intended target, I was told to find you. Apparently, all Captains of the Magic Warfare unit are to return to the city at once, your king's orders.

The Fairy Hunter: So Earthland's Fairy Tail has been destroyed?

Nelo Angelo: More accurately, it has been absorbed. It and the town surrounding it, as well as all those wizards have been absorbed by your anima and transformed into a giant lacrima. Or were you perhaps looking to search among them Earthland's Fairy Tail? After all, HE did stop talking to you after the incident.

The Fairy Hunter gave Nelo Angelo a glare which he glanced back as the two stared for a moment.

The Fairy Hunter: Splendid. Then Edolas' magic supply should be filled to capacity for quite sometime.

Nelo Angelo: Indeed, now return to your castle, I will catch up shortly.

The Fairy Hunter's flying steed took to the sky while Nelo Angelo looked deep in thought as he looked to the smoking crater.

Nelo Angelo: (thoughts) So, Sparda's grandson is here. This could pose a problem. It's one I cannot overcome however; soon, Edolas will belong to my one true master.

Nelo Angelo then sprouted black eagle-like wings from his back and took off after the Fairy Hunter. But the Fairy Hunter soon lost herself in her thoughts as she recalled Nelo's words.

The Fairy Hunter: (thoughts) Y/N...

In the middle of a dessert in Edolas, all seemed calm. That is, until the Edolas Fairy Tail sprouted out from the ground like a tree rapidly growing.

Lucy: That was close, but we made it.

Mary: (sighed in relief) Thank goodness.

All the occupants of the guildhall were sprawled across the floor and soon picked themselves back up.

Natsu: (to Y/N, Raven, Ruby, Pyra, Happy, Wendy, and Modeus) You guys okay?

Y/N: My pride is hurt, but I'll manage.

Modeus: I am unharmed.

Happy: I think the entire building changed location.

Wendy: So did my stomach.

Summer was looking over her guild when she finally saw Rebellion's appearance, with eyes widened in shock, she slowly walked over and picked it up. She then traced her finger around the skull head.

Summer: No......it's been awakened.

Elfman was helping Lisanna off the ground.

Elfman: Lisanna, you're not hurt are you?

Lisanna: No big brother, I'm still in one piece.

Lucy and Levy bunted heads again with flames behind them in the background.

Lucy: You sure took your sweat time firing that thing up, they were right on top of us!

Levy: Shut up! What exactly did you do to help us?!

Y/N picked himself up and dusted himself off.

Y/N: That was something.

Summer: Y/N.......

Y/N looked at his mother.

Summer: I want an honest answer from you. (hold up Rebellion) Why is Rebellion awakened?

Y/N: (looks away) .....

Summer: Y/N..... answer me NOW!

Y/N: Please, don't...

Summer: It's been awakened, hasn't it? Your grandfather's blood. And I can almost guess why.

Y/N: I don't want to talk about it.

Summer: Please....... I only know one way for it to happen. The way your father unlocked his, when....... His brother stabbed him.

Y/N: Stop it.....

Summer: Tell me.......... Was it B/N?

Y/N: .........

His silence gave her answer, she dropped Rebellion, and fell to her knees.

Summer: No....... What have I done.

Y/N: That wasn't your fault. It was his choice. 

Summer: The choice he made, because I abandoned him. (eyes started to water) My baby..... Has become a monster.

Ruby: Mom...

Raven: Sums, please if anyone is to blame it's me. It was my Sembracne that reacted horrible to the overload, and sent you here.

Natsu: But anyway, Who were those two?

Mary: You seriously forgot? You must have hit your head when we landed. The one in black is Nelo Angelo, also known as the Black Angel. Wherever he goes, death is sure to follow. Some say he's not even human.

Pyra: And that woman at the reigns of the monster?

Mary: She's one of the captains of the Kingdom's Magic Warfare Units. The Fairy Hunter, also known as Erza Knightwalker.

That statement hit Natsu, Y/N, Pyra, Ruby, Raven, Wendy, Happy, Carla, and Modeus hard; almost like a bombshell.

Y/N: (surprised) Did you say..... Erza?

Chapter 28 ended. 

Oh boy, looks like happy reunion has turned sour with Summer seeing Rebellion appearance. Yeah, Summer was told how Dante got his blood awaken and it only seems to fit that once she was Rebellion appearance.  She would figure out what happened to B/N. 

Oh boy, this is gonna make Summer feel so awful. And it's only gonna get worse when she learned that B/N has gotten rid of his humanity.

That's it for this chapter. I'm sure you all have a ton of questions so I want to clarify a few things with you real quick...

1) B/N, Dante, Vergil, Trish, Kat, and Modeus will NOT have Edolas counterparts in this story (I'm not using the DMC reboot versions either, sorry). The reason will be explained in the next chapter. (Oh, and just to remind you, Trish will be with Gajeel for the first part of the arc).

2) Yes, Mary is the Edolas counterpart to Lady.

3) Nelo Angelo is not the Edolas counterpart to Dante or Vergil; nor is he a brainwashed Vergil like in the games. This is a new take on Nelo Angelo, and he is a demon. I know Carla said that demons aren't from Edolas, but Nelo Angelo isn't from Edolas, this will be explained later on. But let's just say the Edolas Kingdom may not be the only threat right now.

By the way, if you're wondering what made Y/N acted like a steam engine? Let's say he saw the... things. He was surprised, I can only imagine how the girls lead into it. 

Anyway, I hope this helps make things clear for all of you. Again, thank you for your patience. Seem you next time.

Oh, one small note, expect Lisanna to have a much larger role in this story.
