Bora... The Fake Salamander

With my question being answered, I was satisfied yet confused. Why would I have the same last name as Natsu?

I began to look through my memories. My body decided to "help" me by giving my nausea back!

"Ugh..." I moaned.

Lucy stopped walked for a second and turned around to look at me.

"Oh my god! What happened to you?" she said, her eyes full of concern.

"I'll be fine if I take a nap," I whispered, feeling weaker than I've ever felt in my life.

She nodded and began to drag me gently to the park. When we got there, she found the cleanest bench before sitting up and propping me up onto her shoulder.

"Here. You can lean on me, 'kay?"

"Mm" was the only response she got from me.

My sight was getting blurry, very blurry. All the colors were blending in together. Then, black.

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

"Hello?" I called out.

The word "hello" echoed through the pitch-black area. I started to walk, or rather, tried to but kept bumping into something. I reached forward and felt an invisible wall. Interesting. I looked closer to study it when suddenly a flash of white shined right into my eyes.

I fell onto my butt and rubbed my eyes.

"Ow. Geez, before you do that, tell me beforehand, okay-?"

I stopped midway in my sentence. In front of me was a scene I had never seen before. Yet, it was so familiar. It was like comforting me and urging me to remember. My head pounded harder than before. I hissed and clutched my head.

~~~

"Onii-chan! Wait for me!"

~~~

My eyes widened and I looked up. It couldn't be...

A flash of blonde hair ran right past me before jumping onto a black-haired boy. That girl... I know her. But, how?

~~~

"Onii-chan, *****-san won't stop pinching my cheeks!" she pouted.

"*****, what did I tell you about treating your sister nicely?" the ebony boy said, scolding his brother.

"Sorry. I won't do it again," the little boy said.

~~~

His hair... The little boy's hair... was salmon-pink. And why couldn't I hear the boy's name? Why didn't they ever turn around and face me? My head pounded harder and faster, leaving me gasping for breath.

"G-geez, n-now I know... how it feels like... to have asthma..." I wheezed. I gasped as if it was my last breath of air when suddenly, the pain disappeared.

~~~

"Come on, Yume. You too, *****. Mom's calling us for dinner," the ebony boy said, turning his head ever so slightly so I could see his smile.

~~~

Yume?... My eyes shone with new recognition. I knew I saw that girl from somewhere. It was me! But... who was the ebony boy and salmon-pink boy?

I heard the sound of running feet and I whirled around to see the 3 children running off towards a hut.

"Wait!" I called.

I started running towards them.

"Wait!" I repeated, but this time, my cheeks were wet.

The children were getting farther.

"Wait!" I cried.

I fell to my knees.

"Don't leave me..." I sobbed.

Why was I crying? Was I sad that I couldn't reach them? Just what's going on?"

"EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I winced. Ouch. Seriously, Lucy?

I stopped. Lucy? Lu-chan!

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

I jolted up; my hand automatically flew to my head. No more headache... But who were they?

"Oh, sorry. Did I wake you up?" Lucy said, tilting her head.

"No. It's fine. Anyways, what were you screaming about?" I asked, sitting up properly.

"Remember that Salamander? He knows Fairy Tail! But he was using a magic ring again!" she raged. "I'll just have to play him."

"Lu-chan," I spoke up. This might bring the story out of place, but it's better than getting tricked right?

"L-Lu-chan?" she stammered.

I shrugged. "It's a nickname. Anyways, I was thinking that you should be careful because that guy is-"

"I know!"

Her outburst shocked me. She did?

"He said he was picky about dresses, so we have to go buy some now!"

And here we are, running toward the street, looking at dress shops. Correction. Lucy's looking at dress shops while DRAGGING me by the arm. I sighed.

"You do know I can make a dress for you, right?" I sighed.

She turned to me.

"You can?" she said. "Of course you can. Then I can save money!"

I swear. I could see the dollar bill signs in her eyes. I can see it, now. Urako Yume, the personal on-the-go ATM. I sighed again.

I waved my hand and a magenta dress with a long cut on the right side replaced her clothes.

"Boom. Done," I smirked.

"Ooh," she said, twirling around to see the dress. Then she frowned.

"Where's yours?" she asked.

Then, I looked everywhere but her.

"I'm not going."

"Yes, you are," she argued before you took my hand a made a little wavy motion with it.

"Lu-chan, that's not how it works," I said, sighing.

Then, a dress appeared on me. I blinked. And blinked again.

I looked up at Lucy. She looked just as shocked as me.

"What the heck?" she and I both shrieked at the same time.

"Lucy..." I said menacingly.

"Uh, well. Look at the time! We've got to go, now!"

She grabbed my hand and we took off towards the harbor where the ship was waiting.

"Good evening, ladies," a sailor said.

I frowned. Hmph. Fakers.

"Good evening to you too, slave traders," I said, politely before walking into "Salamander's" Office with Lucy.

Honestly, you should've seen their faces. Priceless.

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

Onshore with Natsu and Happy...

Natsu laughed with Happy.

"We ate so much!" he said.

"Aye!" responded the blue cat.

Happy looked into the distance and saw a ship, the same ship Lucy and Yume were on that very moment.

"Say, is that the ship where that Salamander is having his party?" Happy asked his partner.

Natsu immediately felt sick.

"I feel sick!" he said, putting a hand over his mouth.

"Stop feeling nauseous just from the thought of it," Happy responded, still looking at the ship.

"Look! Look! That's Mr. Salamander's boat!" a girl said off from the side.

Happy turned around to look at her and to hear what she was saying.

"I wish I could've gone!" another girl said.

"Salamander?" the third girl asked her two friends.

"You haven't heard? The famous wizard Salamander is in town!" the first girl responded.

Natsu stopped being nauseous the minute he heard "wizard" and looked over at the girls.

"I heard he's a member of Fairy Tail!" the second girl chimed.

Natsu gasped. He was part of Fairy Tail and he's never heard of that person before, nonetheless, seen that person before. Maybe... they were doing bad deeds until Fairy Tail's name!

He looked over at the ship with anger and contempt, seeking revenge... before going back to his nauseous state. He kneeled on the ground to suppress his nausea and glared at the boat.

"Fairy Tail..."

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

Back on the boat...

"Lucy, you say? That's a lovely name," Salamander said.

"Thank you!" she said cheerfully.

I rolled my eyes. When can Natsu get here? I want to fight by his side like the old days. I froze. Like the old days? When did that ever happen?

Flashes of the scene that was shown to me appeared before me for a couple of seconds. Right... Maybe I met him when I was a little girl. Or maybe we're cousins.

I watched as "Salamander" poured out 3 cups of wine for us.

"Let's start with a toast, shall we?" he asked, smiling charmingly at me.

I grabbed my wine with a huff and swirled it gently to let the smell get to my nose. He looked at me surprised before he snapped his fingers and the juices from Lucy's cup floated up and formed little orange balls.

"Now, open your mouth and savor the jewels of fruit juice as they enter," he said, as handsomely as he could.

Um, ew. That's the worst flirting I've ever seen since, 2019!

From the corner of my eye, I saw her shudder for a moment before trying to sit still. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth.

I bet she was thinking, "CREEPY! But be strong! You have to be strong!" And she's right. She does. It was only a matter of seconds before Natsu gets here.

Lucy opened her eyes and suddenly stood up. She flung the juice bubbles aside. I have OCD and hated to see them all over the floor, so I used my cup to catch every drop that she threw. Smart, right?

She looked angry.

"What's the big ideal?" she asked. "That was Sleep Magic."

"Salamander" smirked and rubbed his chin with his hand.

"I'm impressed."

"Don't get the wrong idea!" she said.

I put my glass of wine down on the table and stood up next to her, faking drowsiness.

"Lu-chan..." I slurred.

She made me sit down on the couch before turning back to him.

"It's okay, Yume. Everything will be fine," she whispered to me.

"I want to join Fairy Tail, but I have no intention of being your girl!" she said, putting her left hand on her hip.

He smiled and turned.

"You're a tough one," was all he said.

I peeked one eye open to see the baby blue curtain in the background to reveal the sailors all carrying women. Drunk and asleep women! How could they!!!

Lucy gasped as she saw that she was surrounded by pirates that were carrying helpless women.

"What's going on here?!" she gasped.

"Welcome to my ship," "Salamander said, grinning. "You will behave yourself until we reach Bosco... girl."

"Bosco?!" she said, turning around to face him.

Bosco? Where's that? I ran through my memory but got no result. Dang it!

"Hold on! What about Fairy Tail?!" she asked, desperately.

I closed my eye as soon as I saw a sailor walk right up to me and block my view of Lucy. Hold on for a few more seconds!

"Forget it. You're our merchandise, now," he said, looking her up and down.

I shivered. How could he? Such a pervert!

"What?!" she protested.

"Then those girls are also...?!" she turned around towards the sailors and saw me still on the couch.

"Yume!" she cried.

I put a finger to my lip and winked at her before continuing to pretend that I was out cold like a dead lightbulb.

"Way to go, Mr. Salamander!" a sailor cried.

"Got us a big haul!" the sailor in front of me cried.

Damn. Could I kick his -?

"Why, you...!" she snarled as she whipped out her keys from the secret pocket I made on the inside of the back of her dress.

"Salamander" used his fire magic to hit her hand and grab the keys.

"Gatekeys... A celestial wizard, huh?" he said, shaking the keys.

Lucy was fuming with rage.

"Only a contract holder can use this magic. Meaning they're useless to me," he said, tossing them out the window.

I wanted to jump up from the sofa and dive after her keys but there was nothing I could do until Natsu gets here. How else are we supposed to get into Fairy Tail?

She hung her head down after her keys made a splash noise. Tears started filling her eyes.

Hang in there. I trust Natsu. Just wait 5 seconds.

5...

She looked up, her eyes stinging with tears.

4...

She was shaking with rage. I could blast us out with magic, but according to Ruby...

Remember, if you use your magic on a whim, the first time is fine. The second time has to be controlled or else... BOOM! All of Magnolia is gone!

Tears were falling down her cheeks now.

3...

"You're the worst kind of wizard there is!" she cried.

2...

1...

And suddenly, there was a hole in the roof and a certain salmon-head was clutching his mouth, kneeling on the floor.

"Natsu!" she said smiling.

Everyone stood there shocked as he proceeded to be nauseous.

"I can't handle this after all!" he muttered.

I was now trying to suppress my laughter. This was too funny! Way too funny! The great Salamander of Fairy Tail was trying not to puke!

"Whoa! So uncool!" Lucy exclaimed, shocked at Natsu's behavior.

"What are you doing, Lucy?" a blue exceed asked her.

"Happy!" she said shocked.

"I was tricked! He said he would get me into Fairy Tail! Wait, you have wings?!"

The whole crew, including the Fake Salamander, was dumbfounded at the sight before them.

The boy who crashed through the ceiling is now trying to not throw up. The girl that was their captive as of a couple of seconds ago was casually talking to a flying cat. I really can't hold in my laughter anymore. Seriously!

"We can talk later!" Happy said as he swooped down and his tail latched around Lucy's waist as she got pulled up.

Her face! She looked so shocked. I burst out into laughter and everyone turned around to look at me!

"Pff!" I giggled.

I started clutching my stomach because I was laughing way too hard.

"O-Oh, god. I can't,... breathe..." I said, speaking through my fits of laughter.

"Yume!" Lucy cried as she flew up into the air.

Fake Salamander quickly realized where she was going and yelled, "Urgh! After them! We can't let 'em report us to the council!"

"Wait! What about Natsu and Yume?!" she cried.

Surprisingly, I could still hear her. I started taking deep breaths to calm myself down.

"I can't carry two people!" Happy responded, smiling.

Suddenly, I felt the urge to laugh again at Happy's sentence. I wonder why, but a smile was creeping its way onto my face.

"Um, boss. What do we do with the girl?" the sailor asked, moving away from me, showing me a clear view of Natsu trying not to throw up.

And... there's the start of another bunch of stomach cramps. I burst out laughing again.

Fake Salamander ignored him and me. Rude.

"You're not going anywhere! Prominence Whip!" he shouted.

I stopped laughing and watched as the whip spread into multiple strands and attempt to hit them. Now I was the one filled with fury.

Happy managed to dodge all of them as the strands combined at this one place, exploding. It looked like pretty fireworks.

"Ooh! Pretty!" a sailor said.

"Damn that nimble cat!" Fake Salamander cursed.

Now I was mad.

"Hey," I said, walking up to him.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" he shouted.

"Hey!" I shouted into his ear.

He turned around and saw the expression on my face and backed away immediately.

"No one, I mean no one, talks trash about Happy. NO ONE!" I roared.

"Hey..." a sailor said, grunting.

I turned around and my eyes lit up with joy. Yay! Dead boy, cough cough, I mean Natsu isn't dea- SEASICK anymore.

Fake Salamander and his companions turned around in surprise. Natsu looked very pale, but he was very angry. Knowing Lucy, she would find her keys first.

I ran over to Natsu and supported him from one side. He was breathing very heavily.

"Are you okay, Natsu?" I asked.

He stared at me dumbly.

"Who are you?" he asked.

I was ticked off.

"I'm the one who paid for your feast, you idiot," I said.

"Oh, I see," he responded with a dumb smile on his face.

Typical Natsu. I saw fake Salamander looking at us in disbelief. I smirked at him. I'll let him know what professional lying is.

I turned to Natsu and gave him puppy eyes.

"Natsu~. You gotta get revenge," I sobbed, my hand rubbing my eyes while applying more eye drops.

"What happened?" he said. He looked genuinely concerned. Oh, now I feel bad. Well, I only gotta buy time.

"H-he talked bad about Happy," I said pointing at a random sailor in the room.

The one I pointed at stared blankly at me. Natsu, on the other hand, was getting very mad.

"He said Happy was a no-good blue cat who was only useful on a silver platter," I said, tears dripping from my eyes.

"Silver platter?" Natsu said, tilting his head.

I rolled my eyes.

"It means to be eaten, idiot," I said, just before a wave of water came to the boat and washed it ashore.

When I mean washed, I don't mean like all those fairytales when those princes get to shore safely and unharmed. I mean the ship was completely wrecked. However, I was safely onshore. Right next to Lucy. Lying down on the sand. Face first.

"What were you thinking?! Why did you sweep me with it?!" Lucy protested.

I got up, groaning. Happy was headfirst in the sand. Natsu was nowhere to be seen. Welp, that's OOF.

"Whoops. I accidentally swept up the ship too," Aquarius replied.

"You were aiming for me?!" Lucy shouted.

"Geez, tone down the yelling, Lu-chan," I said, stretching.

"Yume!" she said, turning to me.

Aquarius froze. "Did you just say 'Yume'?"

"Hey," I said, getting to my feet.

It was like my mouth was speaking for my forgotten memories now because what I said and what it said was not the same thing.

What I said was "Hello, Aquarius. Nice to see you."

What we all heard (including me) was "Long time, Aquarius. Still dating Scorpio?"

"Huh?!" Lucy exclaimed.

Aquarius hugged me. I gently hugged back. Then, she turned back to Lucy.

"Don't call me for a while. I'm going on a week-long trip with my boyfriend. With my boyfriend," she said before she disappeared.

"I heard you the first time!" Lucy yelled.

I extended a hand to help her up, then yanked Happy out of the sand.

Happy jumped up with his right hand, er, paw in the air.

"Hey, Lucy! When we apologized earlier, I don't think we needed to after all," he said.

Lucy and I both sweatdropped. Happy really is the best partner to suit Natsu.

Lucy facepalmed.

"I don't even know where to start with this dumb cat..." she muttered.

I giggled. She looked at me in surprise. I patted her arm before walking towards the new shipwreck.

"See ya! I'm gonna find Natsu! I wanna fight with him!" I called, waving my hand.

The townspeople came swarming out.

"What in the world?!" a man exclaimed.

"A ship got swept in!" a woman shouted.

I ran over to the other side and waved my hands to get their attention. They all ran over to me and started bombarding me with questions.

"Can you guys file a complaint to the Council that Bora the Prominence has been shipping girls to Bosco? And he's a wanted wizard. I suggest you take the children and women in. This place is going to be a battlefield soon."

That was all they needed to hear before they all ran off back into their houses.

A wood plank bonked me on the head.

"Hey! Be careful- Natsu!" I shouted, running up to him, helping him get out of the wood.

"Damn! What the hell--?!" Fake Salamander said, rubbing his head.

"Natsu! Yume!"

Lucy's voice rang throughout the beach.

"Help the girls get away first!" I yelled back.

She nodded and began to usher the girls toward the town.

Natsu looked down at fake Salamander.

"You're a Fairy Tail wizard?" he asked, poison in his voice.

"Yeah, so what?!" Bora responded. "Get 'im, men!"

"Right!"

With that, they began charging at me and Natsu.

Natsu's left hand touched his right shoulder, right over his crest.

"Let me get a good look at you," he said, his face filled with contempt.

I was shocked. I had never seen him like this before, or ever!

Natsu whipped off his jacket as Bora grinned. Two men ran up to us.

"Natsu! Yume!" Lucy cried.

She had finished bringing everyone to town and was back to watch us with Happy.

"I'll take the guy on the left. You take the one on the right," I said.

He looked at me in surprise. I shrugged.

"I owe FairyTail's first master a debt or two," I said, getting into a fighting position.

Now he was even more surprised but didn't take his eyes off his opponent. He only nodded. I smirked. This was going to be fun.

"It's okay! We should've mentioned it earlier, but Natsu's a wizard too!" Happy exclaimed, nibbling on a fish.

"Huh?! B-but, what about Yume?!" Lucy shrieked. Happy dropped his fish.

"I didn't think of that!" he said, smiling goofily.

I sighed. Same old Happy.

Natsu knocked his opponent out with a punch while I dodged before kicking him in the you-know-where.

"I'm Natsu of Fairy Tail! I've never seen you before in my life!" he snarled.

I crossed my arms and smiled at him.

"Wha--?!" Bora said, shaking.

"Fairy Tail?!" Lucy exclaimed at the same time. "Natsu's a Fairy Tail wizard?!"

"Th-That emblem! He's the real deal, Bora!" one of his comrades exclaimed.

"You fool! Don't call me by that name!" Bora scolded.

"Bora... Bora the Prominence," Happy said seriously, crossing his arms like me. "He was kicked out of the Titan Nose guild years ago."

Natsu started walking down towards him.

"I don't care if your a good guy or a bad guy... But I won't let you tarnish Fairy Tail's name!" he shouted.

"And what are you going to do about it, kid?!" teased Bora.

Oh dang. He shouldn't have done that.

"Prominence Typhoon!" he yelled, bending his back backward.

I stifled a laugh in. He looked so stupid!!! XD

The look on Natsu's face just tipped me over. I fell over on the floor howling with laughter. Oh, god. Way too much laughing in one day. I quickly kowtowed to Ruby and prayed.

Hey, uh, Ruby. Help me out here. Don't let me die on my first day here. I swear I am going to die of laughter.

I could just hear Ruby laughing on the other side.

"Natsu! Yume!" Lucy cried for like the 4th time... or something like that.

I saw Happy block her and I gave him a thumbs-up. Next to me, Natsu was eating up the flames.

"Hey, Natsu," I asked, interrupting his eating.

"Mm?" he said, his mouth full of flames.

"You eat it like this right?" I started eating the flames like him, but much more gracefully.

His mouth dropped open.

"How?" he exclaimed.

"Ew," I said, ignoring his question. "This tastes gross."

"I know, right?" he said, perking up, forgetting all about his previous question.

"The bigger the talk, the weaker the man," I heard Bora say.

"This tastes horrible," Natsu and I chimed at the same time.

Bora turned around.

"Yeah. Are you really a fire wizard?" I asked, still eating the disgusting flames.

Don't get me wrong. It's not like the internal instinct inside of me told me to protect Natsu, it was for the town, okay? It's for the little boy I gave the flower to. Nothing more than that.

"This is the worst fire I've ever tasted," Natsu said, taking in the last of the fire.

Bora and his subordinates looked at us in shock and their jaws dropped open. Gee, what are they, fish? And here, I thought they were wizards.

Lucy's jaw was dropped open and so was Happy's. I wonder why...

Natsu sighed.

"Thanks for the meal," he said, smiling evilly.

Then... he burped.

"Wh-Wh-Who is this guy?!" shrieked a sailor.

"Fire won't work on Natsu," said Happy, wearing the same face as Natsu.

Creepy...

"I've never seen magic like that before!" Lucy said in awe.

"But... How can Yume do it?" Lucy asked Happy.

Happy shrugged.

"No idea."

"Now that I've eaten, I feel re-energized," Natsu said, walking towards them. I was skipping happily alongside him.

"Ne, Natsu. Can I take out the weak ones and you take the insulter?" I asked, practically jumping on my toes.

"Sure. As long as I get the faker," Natsu said.

I facepalmed. Isn't that literally what I just said?

Natsu slammed his fists together.

"Here goes! Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu yelled towards Bora, leaving all the other sailors to me.

Just only by Natsu's attack, the whole ship was into ashes. Only leaving sitting ducks. I smiled and tilted my head. I walked right up to one and licked my lips.

"We're gonna have some fun. Just you, me, and your friends," I said, giving him a smile.

Lucy was still shielding herself from all the debris that was flying through the air.

"How was that, Yume?" Natsu said, smiling cockily at me.

I smirked back in response.

"You haven't seen mine yet," I said, smiling.

I took a deep breath in and began to sing.

My magic began to boost Natsu's magic and weaken Bora's all with any backlash. Cool, right? I just love isekai adventures with OP characters.

I kept singing louder on some parts and many sailors fell unconscious onto the sand. Others began attacking Bora, telling him that they didn't mean to hit him.

At the end of the song, I fell onto my knees. A sudden rush of magic came into me.

Yume! I told you not to use it!

Ruby!

What do you mean, Ruby?

To solve your problem now and Magnolia from exploding, you have to find Lumen Historie. Or train your magic on Tenroujima.

Is there any other alternative if I don't train, but also don't want Magnolia to explode?

There is, but...

But?....

But it requires you to sacrifice your body and soul. It also means you can never reincarnate every again.

'Kay. See you.

Mm.

My headache came back to me along with my magic. Great. Just what I needed. Lucy ran over to me and let me rest on her shoulder and Happy landed on my head, watching his partner fight.

"B-Bora! I've seen this guy before!" a tall buff guy exclaimed in terror. "That pink hair and scaly-looking scarf! No doubt about it! He's the real..."

"Salamander!" Lucy said, finishing his sentence.

"Pay attention, now! This is what Fairy Tail wizards are like!" Natsu roared.

He jumped off the ledge he was standing on and ran right towards Bora.

Bora waved his hand at Natsu.

"Red shower!"

Natsu dodged all the shots and jumped up towards him. He then proceeded to punch Bora with fire. I laughed, shocking Lucy and Happy, who must've thought I was asleep.

"You okay? That song must've taken a lot out of you," Happy said.

I grimaced.

"As much as I would like to hope that, Happy. I'm afraid that's not even 1% of my power," I said in a monotone voice.

"But, Happy. He eats fire and punches with fire. Is this really magic?" she asked.

"Dragon lungs for breathing fire, dragon scales for dissolving fire, and dragon talons that are wrapped with fire... It's an ancient spell that lets his body take on the qualities of a dragon."

"Are you serious?" Lucy said, her eyes widening.

"It was originally used for taking down dragons," Happy said, smiling at his partner's progress.

"Oh my..." Lucy said faintly.

"Hell Prominence!" Bora shouted.

"It's Dragon Slayer Magic. Igneel taught it to him," Happy told Lucy calmly as they watched the whole city get destroyed.

I got up and stretched.

"Are you okay?" Lucy asked, looking at me with wide eyes.

"Mmhm. Never been better," I said and licked my lips. "Well, see ya!"

I waved at Lucy before going towards Natsu to join the fight.

"I thought you were down!" Natsu shouted to me.

"I thought so too. Guess not! Too bad for you!" I shouted back.

"Roar of the Music Dragon!" I yelled at Bora.

He braced for impact. And nothing happened.

Natsu laughed.

"What did you do? It had no impact!" he laughed.

"Look again. Or rather, use your ears," I said, smiling mischievously.

"WHAT?! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Bora screamed. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!"

He charged at us, taking a few steps before falling on his side, his words getting jumbled up. Natsu slowly turned to me and said only one statement.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side."

I giggled.

"Are you going to take this guy down or what?" I asked, smiling cockily at him.

His eyes widened; then, he grinned.

"You wanna do a team attack?"

"Why not?" I said.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" we yelled in unison.

A big blast of fire flew towards Bora and... well, how do you say it? Ah, yes. Cooked him like a fish.

Then a loud noise came. Footsteps. Natsu and I looked at each other before we grabbed Happy and Lucy and took off madly running.

"The army?!" Lucy yelled. "And why am I running with you guys?!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to join Fairy Tail?" Natsu shouted.

Lucy's face lit up.

"Let's go, then!" she cheered.

The 4 of us took off running towards Fiore.

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

"Ruby. Did you not give her limiters?" a mysterious figure asked the goddess.

"Y-You didn't give me any. You told me to only give her the ones you gave me. I didn't have any," Ruby said, trying to defend herself.

The figure sighed. He sat down on the chair Ruby had gotten ready for him. His black hair shone in the light. His pale skin contrasts with his black chilling eyes.

"Zeref-sama, if you have any, I can get them ready-"

Zeref cut Ruby off.

"I'll deliver them myself at Tenroujima," he said, getting up.

"O-Okay, Zeref-sama," she said, trembling.

With that, he disappeared. Ruby sank down in her chair, sighing.

"This brother and sister pair..." she muttered, running her hand through her red hair.

"Sheesh!"

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

In the Celestial Realm at the same time...

Aquarius ran in, er, swam in.

"Guys!" she shouted.

Every Zodiac turns towards Aquarius to hear her news.

"I found her!"

Dishes were dropped, jaws dropped, many books dropped.

Scorpio ran up to his girlfriend and took her by the shoulders.

"Are you joking, Aquarius?" he said, dropping his "we are!" accent.

"Not at all, but..." she said, hesitating to tell the others the other half of her information.

"But?" said the leader of the Zodiac, Leo.

"She doesn't remember us."

A ripple of murmurs went through the crowd around them.

"Just give her time, I'm sorry!" Aries spoke up.

"Yes. Just give our old friend time. We do owe her a number of debts," a deep voice boomed.

The Zodiacs all kneeled before the great figure before them.

The Zodiac King had come out for the first time in 300 Earthland years.

"Plus," he said, waving his hand.

A mirror appeared and all the Spirits peered through to see a familiar blonde girl running with two other people and she seemed very happy.

"She looks happy right now," he said sadly.

"She'll come back and save us like 300 Earthland years ago," said Gemini.

"I hope so," said the King. "I really hope so."
