Marcel spent several days learning from Laxus. Laxus told of history to him. Regarding the Manga Version, he came from really.
Apparently, he was a bit of an ass. And did some questionable things. But arriving a year before the story started really, allowed him to change various things.
Marcel gained quite a bit of info about this World from him. Considering he went through his World's entire history Manga wise and experience a multitude of other Worlds. All the information helped get a better grasp of things. Such as what Marcel can change to acquire more power while there.
All of his Ki was used to create Human Saibaman everytime it refilled. He sent them straight to the front lines in clusters.
Zi dealt with all the stuff gained from them. They were decent Cannon Fodder at first. But the eating of their enemies allowed them to grow stronger and smarter. Thanks to the magic that was used to make them, they were free of getting corrupted by others. Since Marcel was still their User, it helped even more with any type of swaying that was offered.
He was sable to show Gajeel a good bit of things Dragonslayer wise. Juvia, Boze, and Sue were a lot stronger now from what they received and the intense training. At one point, Erza arrived with Laxus to have a talk with Marcel.
"I do not know why Laxus has spent so much time with you and your Guild, but I have come for only one thing." Erza said with a straight face. Devoid of much emotion. "Lisanna Strauss, do you really have her?"
"What do I get by helping you?" Marcel stopped his spar against Gajeel and walked over. Gajeel following suit on instinct really. "I tried to help before and was attacked. To be fair, I did get to see some sweet things from it. Magical card throwing, how nice."
"Cana would be a lot better if she stops drinking so much." Laxus said. He was changing back to training clothes to get started. "Her daddy issue are as bad as Erza's mommy and childhood ones."
"What do you know!?" Erza turned snapping at Laxus. She received a cold stare that cowled her slightly. "Ugh!" Looking away, she couldn't hold the gaze. 'Even weakened he is still so powerful. Not even the Guild Master knows why he has changed again.'
"Right.. the whole you are a princess some bullshit with your friends or lover whats his face being part of the Magic Council bringing doom and destruction or some shit." Marcel was not paying attention when Laxus told him about that. It was a natural event for the World so he was not to interested in it at the time. "Let me search your mind and.. hmm.. the one called Cana. Then I will help you."
"I can not agree to that. Just me should be enough." Erza looked back already recovering her hard gaze. 'Why does he want to read my mind? Natsu already said he felt that he looked into him a little. Well from what he could discern from the way things went.'
"Hmmm, very well. but If it is just you, I want more." Marcel looked her over and pointed at her arm. "I want your right arm." He wanted to try an experiment with a Dark Saibamen and some Pulls. "Surely an arm is worth a person?" His smile was dark and caused his own Guild Mates to freeze up.
Laxus just watched with a critical look. His loyalty to Fairy tail was still there, but Marcel was his New User and had not done wrong by him yet. This might be the first time.
"If she can be helped, then so be it. Do it." Erza gave a nod not looking away. She was so decise that Marcel was extremely impressed. A few plans would have to be adjusted to let him have some fun here later. "Hmm?" Erza felt him grab her head and arm. Feeling a slight prod, her natural defenses were up. She had to force them down.
Marcel was slow when doing so. Gave him a chance to understand looking through a mind better. Something that took seconds, took over several hours. Her mind was a mess of brainwashing and suppressed memories. As well as damaged ones.

'Well how about a little help in this department.' Marcel created a black door with his magic. Using the principles of Astral projection. In this case, Mental Projection. 'You can go back and view things on your own from now on. Try not to have a mental breakdown.'
Erza said nothing the entire time she went through her mind with Marcel. Her past was abhorrent even to her. Seeing it was like it happened yesterday, caused her to go through a myriad of emotions.
"Well, that was interesting." Marcel then ripped her right arm off the moment he left her mind. She didn't feel a thing. Mostly because of the magic. "Off we go." The arm disappeared into his inventory. Near Erza's stump, a tiny drop from the Tree of Might water from (Avatar) was dropped.
*Schlick!* Her arm grew back in an instant. A wear harmonic sound went out.
"Hmmm?" Erza opened her eyes looking around. Seeing everyone stare at her mouth open left her embarrassed. "What!?" Laxus recovered quickly. He never saw regeneration happen that fast. Marcel received quite a few points from everyone in the room. But he ignored it really. He had nothing to really do with it really for now.
'Most amazing results.' Marcel thought as he moved to go and get Lisanna. 'Her magic and the state of her body played a role. But she has been limited by such mental anguish. Most fascinating.'
"Your arm grew back..." Juvia said. She grabbed Erza's arm and touched it all over. Sending shivers up the redheads' spine. She tried to get free but found herself drastically out matched in strength. "Quit moving!"
"Mm, what are you doing!?" Erza was not use to people touching her. And remembering that Laxus said the woman Lluvia was shy, he found that hard to believe with the way she was acting. All of them acted differently due to what they ingested. A bit of a spiritual effect had influenced them. 'Laxus has so many secrets! I am going to need his help to right several things. But why does my arm feel so .. tingly?'
Marcel returned later with a container. Inside was Lisanna. She was in a state of suspended animation. Zi had checked everything over and it was all fine. Marcel checked her mind and only found that the User that had turned her until a Follower was obsessed with her. So, letting her free was a good way to screw with them.
"The mind control she was under is gone. Good luck explaining to her what happened." Marcel let her out and floated the body over. He sent the container for break down by replicator. The weird black metal was almost impossible to break down, however. Stronger than what the Na'Vi metal had. The magic mixed inside was the worst part. He wanted to have Gajeel eat it, but..
The material was to odd and the risk of change was still there. The Replicators spent a long time checking the place over. All the metal was cleared. As well as the stone and everything else. The odd thing about it all, was the container. A fake was sealed in the room with a duplicate container. The fake was a 99% match to the original body wise. The container only 30%. They couldn't copy the metal.
A trap for later. Hopefully... maybe. As long as Lisanna lived anyway, it should work. She was suppose to wake up in a month or so. Zi altered the time of her signal as a Follower with Administration approval for all the signals to match.
It was out of Marcel's hands now.

Meeting-
.
The last day before Marcel (Prime Soul) was leaving. He was meeting Fairy Tail members with a few members from Phantom Lord in a neutral area. Something that Laxus recommend to bury the hatchet.
A very short man with an impressive mustache stepped forward. He eyed Marcel intently. Eyes resting on the strange clothes he wore. The same as the rest of his forces strange attire. The clothing was all casual but made of strong material.
"I am Makarov Dreyar." The little man said. Marcel gave him a nod. "Hopefully you turn out better than your predecessor. At one point he was a friend."
"I am aware." Marcel kept a neutral expression. "Call me Marcel, Guild Master of the new Phantom Lord. Better or worse is all up to interpretation. But your people are looking like they are ready to scrap a little. Disappointing start." Looking behind the Guildmaster, he stared at them.
"Well, you killed Happy." Natsu said dejected. "Grateful that Lisanna is with the guild again and all but that does not excuse what happened."
"You should have been prepared for death when you rush in like that." Marcel said neutrally. Natsu looked at him heatedly. "When commencing war, battle, skirmish, duels, or even a scuffle, you should be ready to be killed or possibly be killed. To see your friends die as well. That is the risk of taking certain actions. You should have not broken down my wall and attacked me."
"Are.. are you.. saying he would have still been alive if he hadn't?" Gray asked. A few others having the same ideas. Marcel just gave them a nod. "That is just messed up!"
"You are loud for no reason." Marcel cleaned his ear out. "No one is over talking you and the area is quiet, I suggest you tone it down just a little."
"Let it go." Laxus said. "We had the funeral already. Remember Happy in your hearts. That will have to be enough. Carrying it will just cause problems."
"I can't just forget!" Natsu yelled. Marcel stepped back letting them talk amongst themselves. "he was my best friend!"
"He is not even from this World." Marcel said offhandedly. Sitting down and getting some grub. It looked really good. "Oh man, this smells really good!"
"Hey, I haven't had this in forever." Gajeel picked up some as well. Boze, Sue, Juvia getting some as well. 'Man, these days have been a lot better than any of our time with Jose. That is for sure. But Marcel defintely has a mean streak. Those at the Guild are still doing weighted lunges. At least the punishment for breaking rules is something that can make you stronger as well.'
Sue and Juvia were whispering amongest each other. Both looking at Gray and then at the one called Elfman. To say Sue was happy for the more open Juvia was the best thing ever. Their guild did not have many females. Well besides a few Human Saibamen. But they trained a lot and only a few of the females like to hang out.
Boze was scoping out the S class members in Fairytail. Those he considered S-Class anyway. He marked them based off their magic level.
Makarov Moved over to sit across from Marcel. Letting Laxus talk to Natsu. Seeing his grandson returned to his more younger self relationship wise was enough to soothe his old bones. But him training himself and his Thunder Tribe members even more made him worried.
"Marcel, if things get hairy, can I count on you to help?"
"Huh?" Marcel paused to make sure he answered right. "I will defend my Guild and my Guild members if they are in the right. From those Foreign and Domestic. Like the Magic Council member with the many names, Jellal Fernandes. I suggest you and those you trust deal with him. Kill him outright, despite what others think."
"Is he that dangerous?" Makarov sipped at a drink. It was a weird beer that Marcel had brought. 'This is some good stuff. What the heck is Budweiser?'
"Yes." Marcel answered simply. Looking at the time end he removed himself to go to the restroom. "Excuse me." Once inside, he removed the magical seals on his body. Letting his energy and magic kick up. Going through a Rift, but leaving a him here unlike Avatar.
