Edolas Fairy Tail

Edolas, Edolas Continent, Unnamed Plains.

November, x784.

Inside the building-shaped plant, there were a number of people with very familiar faces lounging around, drinking, chatting, or doing any number of things. However, if one were to look more closely, they would be able to see that most of them were constantly on alert.

Just as Alfonzo, Elicia, and Lucy thought after seeing the banner on the front of the building-shaped plant, the people gathered inside were the members of the Edolas Fairy Tail. And just like their Earth Land counterparts, the members of Fairy Tail were all wizards. Unlike their Earth land counterparts, however, Fairy Tail became a Dark Guild in Edolas after the king outlawed magic guilds due to the dwindling magic power in the world.

This gathering of people, both young and old, were the Edolas version of Fairy Tail.

"Why the hell has that bimbo, Lucy, been gone so long?" A petite, blue-haired girl wearing a dress that exposed her abdomen asked in a disgruntled tone. "Doesn't she know staying in place for too long is dangerous? What would happen if the Royal Army found us?"

"Calm down, Levy." A young man with chin-length black hair and bangs that hang down over his right eye said from a seat at the bar. "It's not like she's been gone that long. I mean, it's only been a couple of days, right?"

"Just shut up, Loverboy." The petite girl, Levy, said disdainfully. "Why don't you just let me do what I do best, use my brain, while you do the only thing you're good at, flirting with your girlfriend."

Just as Mystogan explained, everyone from Earth Land had an Edolas counterpart. And their counterparts, in most cases, had vastly different personalities. For example, the Edolas Levy is quite vulgar and aggressive in the way she deals with people, constantly arguing and insulting everyone around her.

"Hey, there's no need to be so mean to my Al." A young woman with long green hair wearing a pink cowboy hat, red lipstick, and a purple bikini top with blue pants and brown boots replied from atop the previously mentioned young man's lap. "He was only trying to help."

"Bis, I knew you would always be on my side." The black-haired young man, Al, or rather, the Edolas version of Alzack, said with a passionate glint in his eyes. "I love you so much."

"Oh, Al." Bis, or the Edolas Version of Bisca, replied in a sugary sweet tone. "I love you, too."

With that, the pair began hugging and kissing passionately, completely unconcerned with the people around them.

"Geez, get a room." Levy said in an exasperated tone. "But at least with them like this, they won't do anything they aren't suited for… like thinking."

"That was a bit much, don't you think?" A tall, white-haired, blue eyed young man asked in a timid tone. "There's no need to be so mean, is there, Levy?"

As the tall young man, the Edolas version of Elfman, spoke, if one paid close enough attention, they would see tears forming in his eyes. A result of trying to reprimand someone despite his extremely timid personality.

"Oh my god! Are you going to cry again, Elfman?" The Edolas version of Jet asked in an aggressive tone. "Seriously, you really need to man up. Otherwise, you'll always be just another weakling."

"Jet's right, why don't you try acting like a real man for once?" The Edolas version of Droy asked disdainfully. "All that god damned crying is so annoying!"

Like Levy, the Edolas versions of Jet and Droy were also quite vulgar and aggressive. On top of that, they were candidates for the strongest members of Fairy Tail, another stark contrast from their Earth land counterparts.

At that moment, however, the doors to the guild hall opened slowly to reveal a trio of young people, one man and two women. Naturally, these three were Alfonzo, Elicia, and Lucy from Earth Land.

"Fina-fucking-ly!" Levy shouted in annoyance as she turned towards the guild hall's front door. "Did you lose track of time or something you blonde.---"

Expecting the new arrival to be the Edolas Lucy, Levy immediately launched into a tirade when she heard the doors open. But when she caught sight of the new arrivals, all her words were caught in her throat.

"Guild master?" Levy asked in a tone of disbelief with her eyes opened wide. "And General Elicia Phyllis? But how? You're both supposed to be dead. And even if you are alive, why are the two of you together? You hate each other with a passion, right?"

Not only Levy was shocked after seeing Alfonzo and Elicia. In fact, everyone in the guild hall was thinking the same thing that she just said.

"Fairy Tail's guild master, huh?" Alfonzo mused while looking at all the familiar faces in the guild hall. "That's not what I expected to hear."

"At least your counterpart was a member of Fairy Tail, Fonzie." Elicia said with a wry smile after feeling all the hostile gazes that fell on her. "It looks like my counterpart was a member of the Royal Army."

"That's what you two paid attention to?" Lucy asked in an exasperated tone. "What about the part that you two hated each other? Or maybe about the part that your counterparts are dead?"

"Now that you mention it, that's a pretty big deal, too." Alfonzo said with a nod of agreement.

"Yeah." Elicia added. "So, can someone tell us about that?"

Instead of answering Elicia's question, every member of Fairy Tail present in the guild hall drew their magic items and prepared to attack.

"Who the hell are you?" Levy asked while holding a pair of magic hand cannons. "And what are you doing with those imposters you blonde bimbo? Get over here and tell us what's going on, right now!"

"Blonde… B-b-bimbo? Me?" Lucy asked in disbelief while pointing her index finger at her own nose.

Seeing Lucy's reaction, Levy could not help but frown.

"Just get the hell over here!" Levy shouted. "I don't know what happened to you, but we can figure that out later. For now, get away from them. They're dangerous."

While Lucy was thoroughly confused by the Edolas Levy's difference in personality, Alfonzo and Elicia were eyeing all the magic items that were trained on them.

"Alright, why don't you all calm down before you do something you'll regret." Alfonzo said as he unleashed his magic power, putting pressure on everyone in the guild hall. "Although we're not the Alfonzo and Elicia you know, we're no imposters. We're actually here because---"

"They're using magic without magical items!" The Edolas version of Gray, a black-haired young man wearing an absurdly high amount of clothing shouted in surprise. "They must be Exceed! The Royal Army really his here to kill us all!"

With Gray's shout, everyone prepared to attack. Before they could do so, however, they noticed that they were all bound by a number of thin threads.

"Let's not do that, okay?" Elicia asked with a smile. "So many attacks in your guild hall would end up destroying it, after all."

"*Sigh* These guys really are Fairy Tail." Alfonzo thought aloud with a wry smile on his face. "They didn't even wait for the whole explanation before rushing into action. Anyway, since we've got your undivided attention, why don't you let us explain who we are and how we got here, okay?"

In response, mostly because they couldn't move, the wizards of the Edolas Fairy Tail nodded their heads in agreement. Then, Alfonzo, Elicia, and Lucy began explaining what was going on. How King Faust, the king of the kingdom the ruled the world came up with a plan to collect magic power from another world, how their world, Earth land was chosen as the world to be sacrificed, how their town and guild were absorbed by the device used syphon magic power and turned into a lacrima in the Royal City, and how they came through the vortex to save their friends.

Edolas, Edolas Continent, Syca.

Meanwhile, somewhere on another part of the continent, Natsu, Happy, Wendy, and Carla had just come across their first town in this new world.

The town was made up of small, rectangular stone houses with small rectangular windows. And at the entrance of the town was an archway with the word, "WELCOME," inscribed on it.

"This place is so weird." Happy said while looking around the town.

"Yeah, and it smells totally different from our world." Natsu added while sniffing the air.

"Yeah, plus, what was up with those floating rocks we saw when we just got here?' Wendy asked while also looking around at the town curiously.

"I have no idea." Natsu replied. "More importantly, where are our friends? And where did that lacrima Mystogan told us about go?"

"They're probably in the Royal Capital." Carla said in a melancholic tone.

Hearing her best friend's tone, Wendy stopped looking around the town and turned her full attention to Carla.

"Carla, is something wrong?" Wendy asked in a tone filled with concern.

Before Carla could respond, however, both Natsu and Wendy were grabbed before being pulled into an alley.

What the hell are you two doing here?" A brown eyed woman with long blond hair wearing a skull hair accessory that created a small side ponytail, a black, revealing leotard that exposes a generous amount of cleavage and her abdomen, a pair of thigh-high boots, and metal shoulder pauldron on her left shoulder, and a white strip of cloth hanging from her left hip.

"Huh? Lucy?" Natsu asked after recognizing the woman who grabbed him and Wendy. "When did you get here?"

"That's my line!" Lucy shouted. "You were supposed to be waiting for me at our meet up location. And when did you have time to grab… Wendy? Wait, why are you so… young… and flat?"

Immediately upon hearing Lucy's question, Wendy covered her chest with her arms.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, Lucy?" Natsu asked, standing protectively in front of Wendy. "And why are you being so mean to Wendy?"

Though she thought something was off, the blonde woman, the Edolas version of Lucy, narrowed her eyes at Natsu. Hearing him, someone who had always been incredibly meek in front of her, talking back to her made her a bit irritable.

"Oh, it looks like someone finally grew a back bone, huh?" Lucy said while cracking her knuckles threateningly. "It looks like I need to teach you just who's in charge here, don't I?"

"Huh?" Natsu exclaimed in confusion.

Before he could understand what was going on, however, Lucy had thrown a barrage of punches before knocking Natsu to the ground and putting him in a submission hold.

"Now, did that beating jog your memory?" Lucy asked while cranking back on Natsu's arm while she had him in an arm bar. "Or do I need to keep reminding you?"

"Ow! Damn it, Lucy!" Natsu shouted in pain. "What the hell has gotten into you?"

"Hey, Let go of Natsu!" Happy shouted as he flew at Lucy.

"Huh?" Lucy, surprised by Happy, slightly loosened her hold on Natsu's arm. "An Exceed? Natsu, why are you with an Exceed? Were you captured?"

Taking advantage of Lucy's loss of concentration, Natsu pulled away from her grip. Then, he put her in a hold of his own, though he had no intention of hurting her, and pinned her to the ground.

"Seriously, Lucy, just what's gotten into you?" Natsu asked with concern in his tone. "And have you somehow forgotten about Happy?"

While Lucy was both angry and confused at the way Natsu was treating her, Wendy timidly approached the duo.

"Um… Natsu, I don't think this is our Lucy." Wendy said hesitantly. "I think she's the Edolas counterpart that Mystogan mentioned before we left."

Before finding Natsu, Mystogan had talked to Wendy alone. And during that conversation, he had revealed the fact that he was the one who brought her to Cait Shelter after finding her in the forest. Unfortunately, since he never met with her again, and she had only seen his face that one time, Wendy had mistaken her savior for Jellal.

But with the misunderstanding cleared, Wendy had a level of unwavering trust in Mystogan as the one who saved her when she was a small child.

At the same time, after hearing Wendy's hypothesis, Natsu looked down at Lucy with a scrutinizing gaze.

Meanwhile, Lucy, while being stared at so intently, eventually averted her gaze with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Stop staring like some kind of creep." Lucy said in the most threatening tone she could muster.

"I think you're right, Wendy." Natsu said with a nod. "Our Lucy couldn't be this cute. Plus, she smells different."

Though she was happy to have been called cute, Lucy was also confused. The Natsu she knew would never be able to stand up to her like this one just did. On top of that, they mentioned that she was not their Lucy, making her even more confused.

"Hey, why don't you let me go.?" Lucy said. "We can go somewhere more private and talk about what's going on. Since it's obvious you're not the Natsu I know and I'm not the Lucy you know."

In response, Natsu and Wendy exchanged glances. Then, after a moment, they both nodded in agreement. After that, Natsu released Lucy before she led the four to a hotel where they could talk in private.
