Chapter 5: To Be Human

Summary:

Natsu kicks Zero's ass after being engulfed by the void.

Chapter Text

"Natsu!!!!" His eyes flickered open as he endured Genesis Zero, while he was unaware that Igneel had proven the theory of energy merging to be true as he was merged temporarily within Natsu. Waking him from his slumber with both a speech and by mimicking a shout of his name from his mate. "Rrrraaaagghhh!!!!" Decimating Zero with his roar spell, destroying the machine then immediately searching for his friends in the rubble. Jellal eventually appearing to hand him Rania, who'd passed out from the massive magic consumption of the Cataclysm spell combined with the strain of replenishing everyone's magical energy. Most of her regenerative abilities being tied to her emotions, similar to that of her husband's fervor for battle. "...my baCk......." She groaned while being withheld from Lahar, as the council demanded Richard be handed over along with Urania. "They simply wish to speak with her but you deal with so many crisis cases it makes it hard to get a meeting." Jellal also refused to go since they were also demanding the woman he once tried to sacrifice, so Lahar agreed to discuss an invitation rather than outright false arresting Urania. 

 

Taking the blue haired dark wizard away as he nodded to the red haired dragon slayer, a sign that he expected no favors in return since he equated their relationship to once he could have in the future with Erza. Everyone heading home where Gajeel got jealous over not having a cat of his own, our resident powerhouse group of wizards taking a group sick day to relax. "I'm so nauseous...." The pink haired woman whispered the words, having been afraid to confront her bodily issues caused by stress and overwork but irritated she could never bring herself to relax. "Gildarts is back? Cana is not gonna be happy." Funnily enough, even he was surprised like Lucy regarding the every hungry red haired wizard's marriage. His case had been due to how long he was away from the guild due to the Hundred Year Quest. "Maybe cool it for now, honey. He did say later, after all." A squeak left her when he threw her over his shoulder, walking off through the wall he broke while she remained speechless. 

 

"Geez how did those two even meet?" Lucy asked jokingly until Mirajane told the story, it had been a day when Natsu and her sister decided to look for a dragon but Lisanna mistook a large prints from a vulcan. They got into trouble but it became worse when Gildarts got possessed, calling for Rania prior to it, resulting in the then physically eighteen year old woman saving him and earning his attention from then on. "Of course she treated it like a kid crush at that point, except six years later, she agreed to go out with him and now they're married." Unfortunately due to something from the world where Mystogan was from, an anima portal sucked all of Magnolia in to home world of Edolas which had limited magical power compared to Earth Land's limitless amount. "Natsu!!" Everyone rushed after him when he charged off to find Rania, as she was considered a threat like them but transported elsewhere in the resulting portal hop.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

"Ughhh...." The woman in front of me....was identical down to where we had our guild marks. "She looks like you, mama." Delia was curious about her yet I had my suspicions this could be a trick by Faust, her older sister Kari was supposed to be watching her but Lisanna wanted her for something. "....Where?...." The lady in front of me finally woke up, her eyes searching for someone until focusing as she shot up in panic.

 

"Who....who the heck are you?" My hand grabbed hers as I told her, "My name is Urania Dragneel. I'm a member of Fairy Tail, and we found you unconscious by the door." She seemed terrified while answering, "My name is...." Imploring her to tell me, she finally responded with a pale face of uncertainty not towards her Identity probably mine more than hers. "My name is Urania Delhaize Latrense....I think I'm you from another world."

 

[A few moments later....]

 

"I got sucked in through an Anima portal with the Fairy Tail guild hall of my world. Oh no....Natsu!!....my mate's probably worried sick right now." My edolas counterpart had reassured me, apparently things were slightly reversed in this world such as Lucy being confident and dating Loke. Not to mention Elfman being wimpy, Natsu being more emotionally attuned like I was and so many more things. "For now just relax in our guild hall, I'm sure he'll arrive soon if he's as panicked as you say he may be." Luckily he did show up when Edolas Lucy caught them, mistaking my Natsu for hers. Thankfully she backed off when realizing he was actually mine, "Natsu, I missed you so much!!" He hugged me harder than usual as I explained the situation to them and the Edolas versions of our friends. "Faust had used an anima portal to absorb our Fairy Tail guild hall, and now he has our friends held captive. Our Erza is actually a master of requip magic and morally nice and just...a majority of the time when she's not being weird."

 

Ashley had told us, "I don't recommend going there, you could just end up captured. It doesn't matter if you can still use magic, they'll get you in the end." Both me and my counterpart sighed, "We're capable of using ancient magic, power that can't be easily contained nor converted by Faust." She ended, "If anything the two of us will be able to help get them back. My Natsu would understand if I do this, besides my lacrima lasts longer than anyone's." Heading to the city, the group managed to save Lucy and Gajeel who also survived with the latter being given orbs by Jellal to be able to use her magic. Giving the same orbs to her friends to enable their magic, strategizing in a hideout where Ashley embarrassed Lucy a bunch. "Haaa....I still can't believe you have kids with this world's Natsu. I still haven't thought about that sort of thing yet..." Nia as she chose to go by, told me how it was really Natsu who wanted to start a family together and she couldn't bear to see him so unfulfilled. It did end up being a mutual decision but she doesn't regret having had her two daughters. "I wish you guys could have met them but Natsu made them stay at the guild. You know...I kind of want another kid. Maybe a son one day." 

=============================================

 

"Let go of them!!!" Natsu was surprised when after he believed Nia forced his mate to abandon him during capture of his friends, only to show up with Gray and Erza to rescue him and Wendy while notifying him of Lucy being brought to safety. "Howling Sonnet!!!" Rania casted as Silpheed appeared beside her, the overwhelming tornado barrage beating down guards who were shocked since most ancient magic became extinct long before Faust came into power. "Honey, I'm here!!" He grabbed her as she landed near him, sharing her power so he could heal additional energy while utilizing her anger to send some to Wendy. "Mwah!!" He blushed during the kiss, heading out with their friends to prevent Faust from using the lacrima filled with their friends as a bomb.

 

Silpheed carrying them all on wind towards the area where Gajeel was facing off against Panther Lily. The group having earlier kicked Byro and Hughes into the dirt, since Sugarboy abandoned them for selfish reasons. "Speed us up, Silpheed!!!" She shouted as they approached the room where Faust was, having driven away Coco who stole the key to the bomb then promptly broke it before Gray spotted it. Getting to the corrupt ruler with Erza's help by intimidating everyone, mimicking her counterpart to get in then holding Faust at swordpoint. "Ignis, Tersia, Leviathan, Silpheed!!!" All of them combined had started to push the island of the lacrima away, her magic continuously replenishing as the rest of the exceeds helped to push the island away. "GGGGGGggggghhh!!!" She struggled while lending all her magical power to everyone, "The four paths, now!!!" She alone stayed behind as the lacrima vanished, Mystogan standing beside her as she smiled. "It was good to stall, we did it guys." The color drained from her face as they noticed she was bleeding, having been shot in the stomach near her ribs falling off of Jellal's ride as Happy went to grab her.

 

Erza Knightwalker led a sneak attack by the army, the rest going to fight wizard cancelling armor. "Cataclysm Flare!!!!" Both Uranias had called while casting the destructive spell, weakening the armor enough for the trio of dragon slayers to deal with it. "Now you three!!!" They shouted while being carried away by Silpheed, up until it entered Black Heaven mode which required their help again. "Asteroid March!!!" Throwing building sized rocks at the mech in a barrage varying in pattern, then using Butterfly Cannon to hit it with unstable magic made butterflies that melted holes into the armor. "Now go repent for you crimes!!!" They all sweat dropped a tad, Nia was a little...justice oriented as compared to the free spirited Urania from earth land. Defeating Faust......then Natsu started a riot, Jellal reluctantly assumed the title of King, and Lisanna finally came home while explaining what had happened after everyone went home. "The edolas version of me had hit her head and died while swapping places with me through the anima portal. I wasn't really dead...I wanted to tell them but I figured it wasn't my place to do so."

 

Thankfully Natsu took it well as did his childhood friend who seemed greatly happy for him, because Lucy made the decision to tell her that her former childhood crush married. "My name's Urania. You can just call me Rania." They got along well, which was good since no one wanted them to have a stupid jealous rivalry thing going those are just stupid.
