257 Trapped in Edolas

(Jason's POV)

"Oh shit!!" I yelled out as I landed hard on the ground, "Agghhh!!" 

My entire body was throbbing, falling hundreds of meters from the sky would do that to you. 

I slowly got on my knees and I looked around me, "What the hell?" I said, "Where am I?"

I looked around, noticing the sky was a different color; a bit green with several celestial objects being visible. 

I frowned, "Hm.." I said, "Is this another world?" 

This might very well be a different world. I just encountered Selene of The Five Dragon Gods. If I recall, her power allows her to cross dimensions and shit. She must've used the Relocation spell on me. 

But the question is.....where?

"Hm..." I said aloud, "I wonder..." 

I raised my arm to attempt to summon a gun, almost on instinct, but no luck. I didn't feel anything respond to my will, nothing. It's as if my magic was deactivated.

"What the hell?" I said looking at my hand, "It ain't working?" 

Maybe War Magic was malfunctioning. 

I pointed my palm at the ground and tried to fire off a windstream; Nothing happened. There was no response from my God Slayer Magic. I couldn't even feel any magic power coming from my entire body. 

"Shit." I said, "Not even my God Slayer Magic?" 

I focused on taking out magic power but felt nothing. As weird as this felt, it was reassuring to realize what this meant.

I looked at the sky, "I'm at Edolas." I said, "Well, that's something." 

The world that has no magic power, it's quite the interesting situation I found myself in. Why would Selene send me to another world, much less Edolas? I have no fucking clue. 

I looked around me, I was in the middle of some rocky terrain. In the distance, I could barely see the skyline of a city. 

I frowned, "Well, at least I ain't far from civilization." I muttered, "Guess that's all that matters.." 

I began to walk in that direction, feeling the air and gravity a bit heavier than normal. It must be an effect of a different world. It still felt odd, unable to use magic, made me feel normal. But the thing is, I still felt.....different. 

I assume it's because my body is still the same, as durable and strong as it currently should be, but without the magic power. 

I continued walking, wondering what my next move should be. I didn't know how to proceed, I had to find a way back to Earthland, maybe an Anima gate or something. But if I remember correctly, magic is completely gone from Edolas, all of it was depleted when Natsu fought and defeated the King of this place. The last Anima gate was probably the one that sent them back all those years ago. 

"I have to think of something," I said aloud

Suddenly, I heard screams as the ground shook slightly with stampeding footsteps. 

"Huh?" I said looking up to see a crowd of armored soldiers approach me, "What the hell?"

Suddenly, I was surrounded by armored soldiers as they pointed their weapons at me. 

"Do not move!!" One of them yelled

I raised an eyebrow, "What the hell is this?" I said with an annoyed tone

"I said don't move!!" He bellowed, "By order of The King, you are under arrest!!" 

I frowned, "I'm nowhere near the city and already I'm being arrested, huh?" I said, "I don't think so." 

"Do not resist." He ordered, "We will take action."

"Easy easy." A voice said from behind him, "Relax." 

The soldiers parted and let through a short old man who I recognized; it was the octopus guy Byro. He was holding his cane as he calmly walked through the group of soldiers. 

"Hm..." He said before looking at me, "Oh my...." 

He had a look of surprise on his face, as if he recognized my face. 

"I see.." Byro said, "Young man, a traveler from another world, I suggest you come to us. The King wishes to see you." 

I looked at him, "Why should I?" 

"We only wish to help you return to your world." He said, "You just got here and it'll be a great help if you return at once." 

I nodded, "Okay.." I said

Something was off about this whole thing. But since I couldn't use magic, I had to comply for now. I don't feel like brute forcing my way through swords and armor, even if I could. 

Byro turned around, "Someone give him a helmet." He said, "Don't let the civilians see his face." 

I raised an eyebrow, "Huh?" 

********************************************************

"What the hell was that about?" I said taking off a covered helmet, "Why didn't you want my face to be exposed, old man?" 

We were in the castle's courtyard, away from the city folk who were all looking at us as we passed through the streets. The entire city looked different, as if it the technology was advancing and they were making serious advances. 

Byro looked at me, "It's quite the long story.." He said, "But..." 

"So you brought him?" I heard a feminine voice say

Byro looked past me, "Oh, yes, Miss Erza." 

I turned around to see Erza Knightwalker walk up to me. She was wearing casual clothes as she had her hair tied up in a pony-tail. She had the scar she received when fighting Erza Scarlet. 

Despite being her Edolas Counterpart, Erza Knightwalker was as beautiful and sexy as Scarlet, it was very mesmerizing to look at her. 

Erza looked at me, "Oh.." She said as she looked at me taken aback, "So....wait, Byro..." 

"That's right, Miss Erza. He bears the same resemblance as him." Byro said, "As the one who wielded your weapon before you did." 

I looked back at Byro, "The hell are you babbling about?" 

"Ah." I heard another voice say, "Well done, Byro, in bringing him to me." 

I looked past Byro and saw a familiar face. 

Wearing royal garbs, Jellal walked up to us, giving me a slight smile. But this wasn't Jellal, or at least the Jellal from Earthland, this was Edolas's Jellal, or Mystogan, a former Fairy Tail mage.

He looked at me, "It's good to meet you." He said, 

"Jason."
