Laxus Point of View

I looked around to see the wasteland again. However, this time I was able to see all of the figures I had come to know. I looked over a cliff to see the female Alicorn pony and the four cloaked figures, but they were in the middle of a battle....again. I instantly jumped off the cliff and started making my way towards them. As I got closer I saw the Alicorn and the four figures battling against more demons. These ones looked the same as the last ones, with the exception of the supposed leader. The leader was a massive demon that seemed to tower over everyone present. I could tell that it was stronger than Zetar even from this simple vision. It appeared in the shape of a human, but had no facial features besides a gaping mouth. Its skin was black and it seemed to have bones coming out of its joints. It gave of an ominous impression. I finally arrived to see the four cloaked figures and the Alicorn standing against the massive demon and 10 of the demons from the last time I saw them.

I saw the small cloaked figure draw a sword from his back, but it looked like a sword in his hand. The demon leader pointed forward and just like that the battle began. Spells began to be thrown all over the place and the four cloaked figures were destroying the demons left and right. However, the Alicorn was fighting the leader of the demons and she was holding her own, but I could tell she was exhausted. Her legs were to far apart and seemed to be using all of her strength just to stand. The demon leader brought down his elbow on the Alicorn and a sharp piece of bone like substance was sticking out of his elbow. He tried to stab the Alicorn but she just held her hand up and ignited it with magic. The bone shattered and as the demon screamed in pain she took the broken pieces in her magic and plunged them deep within the demons body, thus killing it. It let out a feral roar as it died and the fighting was soon over. The entire group seemed exhausted, but unfortunately, it wasn't over. I soon heard the sound of footfalls surrounding us. I watched as the group was being surrounded by more demons then before.

All of a sudden the small figure burst into a cloud of smoke and the person who was standing in his place left me stunned. I knew that face anywhere.

It was a badly injured Pantherlily and his sword. He grew his white wings and got ready to attack. I heard the sound of what sounded like small explosions. I looked around to see a murky massive demon that was easily over 100 feet tall making its way over to Lily. The other cloaked figures became hazy, but started to remove their cloaks as well and just as I was about to see who they might be....I woke up. My eyes slammed open and I gasped for breath. I was sweating and desperate for breath. I couldn't believe what I just saw. After all this time, I finally have a lead on another member and the other cloaked figures might be members as well. I got out of bed and completely forgot something important.

"Laxus? Are you okay?" I heard Luna ask me as I almost got to the bathroom.

I turned to look at her and saw she had a look of concern on her face. I smiled and went over to her. I kissed her on the forehead and smiled. "Everything is fine, but I need your help." I told her and she was confused. "Wake up and meet me in my office in a few minutes. Okay?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Okay...." She said carefully.

I smiled and went into my bathroom to get ready. It only took a few moments and I was out of my room, leaving behind a confused Luna. I was down on the first floor in an instant. I jumped over the railing and surprised the others that were already awake. Thankfully, Duster, Magic and Cider Blossom were all awake and staring at me. I turned to them and probably had a look of urgency on my face. "I need all three of you to do something for me." I told them and all of them nodded. "Duster, please go get Twilight and tell her that I need her right away. Tell her to bring Spike because I need to send a message to Celestia right away." I told her and she nodded. "Leave immediately!" I told her.

She nodded. "Yes master!" And ran out the door.

I then turned to Blossom. "Blossom. I need you to wake up Watcher and tell him to get the ship ready. Have him get the crew on that and then bring him in with you. Do you understand?" I asked her and she nodded. "Good. See to it." I told her and she left the guild instantly. I then turned to Magic. "I know it doesn't seem like much, but could you get a large breakfast going for many people. We will be receiving guest soon." I told him and he nodded. He went back into the kitchen and started preparing the food.

I went back up to the second floor and banged on Mavis's door to wake her up. I didn't wait for her to respond. Instead I shouted through the door. "Meet me in my office in as soon as you can!" I shouted and left for my office immediately. I opened the door and Luna was already in there. She seemed concerned about whatever was on my mind.

"What is this about Laxus?" She asked me fearfully.

"I have good news and bad news that is forcing my hand." I told her as I walked behind my desk.

"Is it about us?" She asked me fearfully.

I stopped and turned to her. I walked over to her and kissed her on the lips. She blushed and I smiled at her. "No it is not about us, but I am afraid I have to reschedule our date for another time." I told her and she looked sad.

"Why!?" She asked me.

"Like I said I have been given some troubling news, but I need you to trust me...Okay?" I asked her and she nodded. I smiled and gave her another kiss.

I walked over to my desk and started writing the letter to Celestia, but soon the door burst open revealing an angry Mavis. "This better be good Laxus." Mavis told me in a cranky voice.

I smiled. "I had another vision." I told her and she just quirked her eyebrow. "I saw Pantherlily!" I said with a smirk on my face and she was instantly awake.

"Where!?" Mavis asked me with a smile on her face.

"I am unsure, but that's what I plan on figuring out!" I told her and she nodded as she flew to her bookshelf. I finally sat down in my chair, but as I did, Duster ran into the office.

"Master, we have retrieved Twilight, Spike and Watcher!" Duster told me. I smiled.

"Thank you Duster!" I said. "Please bring them up here." I told her and she looked at me confused.

"Uh, master you need to escort them." Duster told me.

"Not today. Bring them up here immediately!" I told her and she nodded.

She left and I heard her yell out in the hall. Soon Magic, Blossom, Twilight, Duster, Spike and Watcher were all in my office with us. I instantly turned to spike and presented the letter to him.

"I need you to send this to Celestia right now!" I told him and he was surprised, but came up to take the letter.

He breathed his green flames and torched the letter, thus sending it. "Done!" Spike told me.

I smirked. "Thank you Spike." I told him and he smiled at me.

"What is all of this about master?" Duster asked me.

I sighed and leaned back in my chair. "Do any of you know where a barren wasteland that is always covered in storm clouds might be? Where the sun never shines and the very atmosphere is ominous?" I asked them and Twilight stepped forward.

"I would say the badlands, but they are a massive desert where the sun is most unforgiving. I have no idea where this place might be and I have studied most of the worlds geography." Twilight stated.

I looked around and saw Luna was avoiding eye contact with me. "Luna? Do you know where it is?" I asked her and she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"What do you plan on doing with that information?" She asked me through a strained voice.

"I need to get there." I answered in a confused way. She fell to her knees and started crying. I was very confused and so was everyone else. "What's wrong?" I asked her as I made my way from my desk to hold her.

She wiped her face and looked at me. "The place you seek is Tartarus! It would be suicide to go in there!" She told me in a sad voice.

I gave her a sad smile. "I need to go." I told her softly and everyone else in the room was instantly shocked.

"Master! You cannot be serious!" Duster shouted at me.

"Master! Tartarus is the home of demons and any prisoners who were deemed to dangerous for the world of Equis!" Twilight yelled.

"A member of Fairy Tail is there and is fighting for his life as we speak!" I yelled back. Everyone was shocked at my statement. "He is from my world, Earthland and last I saw was under attack from a group of demons. I need to get there today!" I told the group. "Watcher! Prepare the ship for battle and make sure all defenses and weapons are working!" I told him and he nodded.

"Yes sir!" He saluted and left the room.

A flash of white light erupted from the hallway and the remaining princess's entered the office to see Luna crying.

"What is going on here!?" Celestia immediately shouted at me.

"Celestia, I need your help!" I told her.

Anger took hold of her face. "Why is my little sister crying!?" She yelled at me.

"She is not happy with what I need to ask of you." I stated simply and she was now confused.

"What do you need to ask me?" She asked me with a quirked eyebrow.

I sighed. "I need you to open a portal to Tartarus as soon as you can." I told her and she did not look happy.

"Are you insane!? Why do you need to go to Tartarus?!" Nightmare yelled at me.

Celestia was studying me. "I had a vision that a Fairy Tail member from my old world is stuck there." I said and the princess's looked at me in shock.

"You had a vision?" Celestia asked me skeptically.

"Yes! It has been the same reoccurring vision over and over again since the Kings Tournament!" I told her. "I need to go there and even if he isn't there it will give me peace of mind, but I need to get there today!" I told them.

"Why does it need to be today?" Celestia asked me.

I sighed. "Because the vision ended with him being surrounded by demons. I know he can hold out, but he is going to need help!" I stated.

She sighed. "How do plan on doing this? I can open a portal, but I wont be able to hold it for long and I will be vulnerable to anything that might try to come through from the other side while you are busy." She stated.

"How big can you make it?" I asked her.

She quirked a brow at my question. "I don't know. How big do you need it?" She asked me.

"Big enough for the Makarov to fit through." I told her and she thought about it.

"I don't think I can make a portal that big...." Celestia told me.

However, Nightmare Moon stepped forward. "I could help to create the portal, but that will also leave me vulnerable to any attackers that might come through." She stated.

"I have a plan, but we need to carry it out as soon as we can. Where can you open the portal in Tartarus and how big is Tartarus?" I asked them.

"Tartarus is supposed to be bigger than Equestria, but I do not know where the portal will open. I usually open it at the gate of Tartarus is and where the guards can see the new prisoner entering the wasteland. If I focus outside of the gate, the portal will open up in a random position and I wont be able to change it." She stated. "What is this plan of yours?" She asked me.

"I need one of the princess's to head back to Canterlot and gather as many Unicorns as you can. Once the portal is open, I will enter on foot and clear out any demons in the vicinity. The Makarov will follow me and provide additional fire power. We will then begin our search as any Unicorns you get create a barrier around the portal to prevent anything from entering. Most of the Fairy Tail wizards will be standing by at the portal as additional support incase demons break through. We will do this in the land between here and Ponyville so neither town is caught up in any battle that might take place." I stated and the group was silent. "I know this seems extreme, but this might be the only chance I have to get to him. I need your help...." I said softly to the group and hung my head.

I felt someone grab my chin and lift my head up. I saw Luna was in front of me and she pressed her lips against mine. Celestia was surprised at the interaction. "You have saved me and my sister. You have saved Equestria and the U.A.K." She told me softly. "I will help guard my sisters while you save your friend." She told me with a smile.

I smiled back and many of the group started to add their own agreements to Luna's. Celestia stepped forward and opened her wings in a symbol of authority. "Nightmare!" She said. "Return to Canterlot and summon the guard. Any and all volunteers for this mission as you can get, bring them to the meeting spot." She said. "Luna! I need you to send a message to the guards at the gate of Tartarus to be ready for anything and inform them of our mission!" She said and both princess's nodded. They teleported away to get started. "Twilight! I need you to round up the other bearers of the Elements of Harmony. I will retrieve the elements and bring them to the meeting point!" She stated and Twilight nodded.

"Yes Princess!" She said and ran out the door. Spike was going to follow her, but Celestia spoke again.

"Spike! I need you to inform the Mayor and any residents you can. Tell them to be on alert and to stay indoors if they can." She stated and he saluted in response. He ran off as Celestia turned her gaze to Magic Touch. "Magic Touch! I need you to gather any other wizards you can besides the CMC. We need them to get ready!" She said and he left instantly. "Cider Blossom! You will need to inform the current residents of our current predicament and make sure they are ready!" Celestia told her and she to left after nodding. "Feather Duster, I need you to check on the Makarov's preparations and any other matters that might involve the guild!" She told her and Duster looked to me for confirmation. I nodded and she left down the hallway. Celestia then turned her gaze to me. "I suggest you prepare for a fight Laxus. There're creatures there that my mother had banished long ago and are stronger than I." She told me.

I nodded in response and I saw that she was getting ready to leave. I stood and pulled her into a hug. I startled her at first, but she soon returned the action. "Thank you...." I told her softly.

She smiled and broke the hug. She teleported away, leaving Mavis and I in my office. I turned to Mavis to see a determined look on her face. "You will be in charge while I am gone." I told her and she looked at me in surprise.

"You don't think I am coming with you?" She asked me with a small smile.

"I know your not." I told her in a stern voice. She wanted to reply, but I continued. "If something happens to me, the guild will look to you." I stated.

She seemed surprised at my choice of words, but nodded slowly. "Do you think there is a chance of that happening?" She asked me.

"Do you?" I responded with. She looked down and didn't respond. "If there are creatures stronger than the princess's than it is a chance we have to consider, but I don't plan on it!" I told her and she smiled at me.

We then left and I went to my room to change into my purple button up shirt. I then put on my black coat with the white fur on the linings. I smirked and made my way to the first floor where I saw many of the guilds wizards gathering. I was happy to see everyone moving with a purpose. I descended the staircase and everyone was looking at me. Almost everyone was present and seemed to be ready for anything. They all had looks of determination on their faces and I smiled at their resolve.

"Thank you for gathering so quickly!" I started. "I will be conducting a very dangerous mission that I need all of you to help me in. I know some of you just got here and some of you might be nervous, but with teamwork, everything will be fine. We will be boarding the Makarov to head over to the plains between Ponyville and Canterlot. It is there the princess's will open a portal to Tartarus and I will enter. The rest of you will stay behind to guard the portal and anything that might come through will be left to you. You will be in charge of guarding the princess's." I explained and everyone was silent as they listened to me. "The purpose of this mission is to save a guild member that is in Tartarus and fighting for his life. We will save him and return through the portal!" I announced and everyone lifted their hands into the air to scream. I smirked at their confidence. "Lets board the Makarov and head out!" I announced and everyone left the guild hall, except for one.

Kong came up to me. "Do you truly intend to enter that evil abyss?" He asked me as we walked.

"I do and I would do the same for any of you." I told him and he looked at me surprised. He fell behind and I kept walking to the Makarov.

We all started to board the ship and the only one missing were the Elements. However, I looked around and soon saw them running to us. Rainbow flew aboard carrying pinkie and Fluttershy did the same with Applejack. Twilight teleported on board with Rarity and we were all set. I turned to Watcher.

"Set Sail!" I told him and he saluted me.

"Aye sir!" He said. "SET SAIL!" He shouted and the crew got to work.

We were off to the plains between Ponyville and Canterlot, but as we flew we saw another large ship making its way towards the plains. We soon arrived at the set point and we all departed the ship except for the crew. Instead, they started preparing the shields and weapons. The wizards got into position as the other Airship approached us. It pulled along side the Makarov and I saw Fancy Pants on it.

"Fancy! What are you doing here!?" I shouted at him.

"I'm here to help my dear boy!" He shouted back. "I have a few people that want to help!" He shouted at me and soon a ramp shot down to the grass. Rows and rows of guards started to come off the ship. I smiled at him.

"Much obliged!" I shouted at him with a chuckle.

He waved in response and soon departed the ship himself, but with someone I once did battle with. It was Shining armor! I smirked and made my way over to them.

"Its good to see you two!" I said with a smile.

"I heard you needed a hand my dead boy! What kind of knight would I be if I didn't offer my assistance?" Fancy said with a smile. I went over and gave him a hug in appreciation which he returned.

I then looked over to Shining Armor. "I appreciate you showing up today." I told him and he smiled.

"Yes, well, I heard you need a shield expert and I happen to be one." He told me with a grin.

I smiled and stuck out my hand to shake his. He met it and smiled. "I do need one!" I said with a smile.

"B.B.B.F.F!" I heard and turned to see Twilight running up to us. "Its so good to see you!" She told him and he chuckled.

He walked over and gave her a hug. "Its great to see you kid!" He said.

I walked away and started to head back to the Makarov when a flash of white gained my attention. I looked over and saw the three princess's appear in the same battle armor as yesterday. I made my way to them and they approached me.

"How are we looking?" I asked them.

"We are ready whenever you are." Celestia told me.

I smirked and turned to face everyone. "Alright! This is it!" I started and gained everyone's attention. "Celestia and Nightmare Moon are going to open a portal directly in front of the Makarov! I want the guards to be beside the portal in two separate groups! They will put a shield over the portal once the Makarov has followed me through!" I shouted to explain the plan. "Shining Armor will create another shield over the first one! Twilight and Luna will be charged with guarding Celestia and Nightmare Moon while they keep the portal open! Do this by any means necessary! Put up a shield around them or defend them with offense! The choice is yours!" I announced to the two of them and they nodded. "I want all other wizards to be ready incase anything makes its way through the portal! When we return, we may have pursuers! So be ready! Does everyone understand!?" I asked aloud and many nodded or voiced their approval. "Good! Then lets get started! Whenever you two are ready!" I said to Celestia and Nightmare Moon.

Everyone dashed to their positions and got ready. Many looked nervous, but most seemed prepared for anything. I got in position myself as the princess's started to focus magic in their horns. I looked behind me to see Mavis smiling at me and I smiled back. I turned back around and soon, a small ripple appeared in the air. It seemed like cracks going across the air and soon it started to open. I didn't hesitate and jumped in as soon as it was big enough for me. I heard many shout my name, but ignored it as I jumped in. I went through the portal and instantly recognized the terrain. It was the wasteland that I had come to know in my visions. I looked around, but was soon on alert from the screeching that was all around me. I instantly charged my magic as I looked around at a few winged demons. I charged my lightning and shot it at a demon that was crawling on all fours that seemed to have some sort of webbing connected to its arms and body. I burned a hole through the demon and the other demons screeched at me as they flew away. That webbing acted as their wings apparently. I looked around for any more, but didn't see any. I started to look around for any indication that might tell me where Lily might be.

I looked over a cliff and saw the same 100 foot demon from before attacking the ground. I figured that's where they were. I turned around to see the Makarov making its way through the portal and I jumped aboard to inform Watch where to go. I looked around deck and saw Watcher waving me down.

"Where to sir?" Watcher asked me.

I sighed. "You see that massive demon over there." I stated as I pointed at it. He nodded. "That's our destination." I told him and the crew looked at me with steel faces.

"Aye aye sir! Set sail!" Watcher cried out. He then turned to look at me. "I hope you have a plan on how to deal with that thing." He told me.

I eyed him. "Do you believe the shield generators on this ship will hold?" I asked him.

He nodded. "They should! Why do you ask?" He asked me.

"I can go ahead and confront the titan before you arrive. Can you hold out without me?" I asked him.

He smirked at me. "This crew hasn't ever faced a demon horde before, but it will be one Tartarus of a story to tell! Get ready lads and get those shields up! We have a rescue mission to get underway!" Watcher yelled to the crew and I smiled.

I wrapped myself in my lightning and shot off of the ship with a massive boom before they put the shields up. I rushed towards the towering demon that was a few miles away, but with my speed. I got there in a few seconds. I used the flying magic that Mavis taught me so it was a straight shot to the battle. I was coming upon the battle fast and saw hordes of demons running in the same direction. I started to shoot my lightning off in random spots and killed many of the demons. After clearing out many of the smaller demons I focused on the titan. I finally got a good look at it. It had long arms that reached all the way down to the ground and it seemed to be gushing out blood from its neck that travelled down its body. I looked closer to find massive needles stick through its neck and causing it to bleed. Its eyes were wrapped in cloth and it had no nose. Its lips were gone and all you could see were its teeth. I could see parts of bones sticking through the demons black skin and I charged up my magic. I created a lightning bolt in my hand and threw it into the titan class demon. It struck true and the titan was knocked off of its feet. It was knocked away about 50 feet from where it was standing, but because of how big it was, it didn't seem that far away at all. I took ahold of the opportunity while it was trying to get up to look down. I saw Pantherlily and the female Alicorn looking up at me, but that wasn't all. I looked to see white hair, blue hair and red hair. I had tears in my eyes as I saw Jellal, Erza and Mirajane all looking up at me.

However, I saw more demons approaching them and I fell out of the sky. My tears dried and became determination as I fell. I descended rapidly and hit the ground with my magically charged hands that sent out lightning bolts in all directions, thus killing the approaching demons. I was in a crouching position, but stood and turned around to see many familiar faces looking at me in shock. I walked over to the group that was looking at me in shock.

"Laxus....is it really you?" I heard Erza ask me. I looked at her to see she was wearing her Japanese Cloth armor set.

I smirked. "It looks like I have to save you again, Erza." I stated and she smiled at me.

I heard someone approaching me and I turned to see Mirajane in her Demon soul transformation.

She ran up and hugged me which I kindly returned. I was about to say something when she broke the hug. She then put her hand on my cheek. "Why do you look so much older?" She asked me.

I smiled sadly at her and walked away from her, not wanting to answer the question. I looked to see Jellal in rags from the fighting.

"Its good to see all of you are okay." I said and then looked over to the female Alicorn that had been in my visions. "Whose this?" I asked the group.

Erza walked up in front of the exhausted Alicorn. "She goes by Faust. Other than that, we don't know much about her." Erza told me and my eyes widened.

"I thought she was dead!" I exclaimed and everyone looked at me. "She is the queen of Equestria!" I told them and they all looked at her in surprise.

"How do you know that?" Jellal asked me.

"Because I know her daughters." I told them and I instantly had Faust attention. She started making her way over to me to say something, but fell before she could.

I looked around and saw the titan was recovering. That meant we were running out of time. I soon heard the Makarov and looked up to see it above us. Everyone was staring at it, but I gained their attention.

"Can you board the ship?" I asked them. Many of them nodded, except for Lily and Faust. "Very well. You two hold on to me." I told Lily and Faust. I went over to Faust and grabbed her as Lily walked over to me. With both of them in my arms I jumped up to the ship and was followed by the others. I noticed the shield drop as we approached the shield and we landed on deck.

"Sir! You found them! Is this all of them?!" Watcher asked me.

"Yes! Now get us out of here Watcher!" I told him and he nodded.

"You heard him! Turn this ship around and get us back to that portal!" Watcher announced to the crew. "Who are all of these ponies? I thought you said there was only one, not to mention the Alicorn." Watcher asked me.

"These are all members of Fairy Tail and as for the Alicorn.....She is the Queen of Equestria. Queen Faust." I told him and he just stared at me stunned.

"Laxus. Who are these people?" Erza asked me.

I turned to look at her to find the others staring at me as well. All of them had a look of confusion on their faces. "How long has it been since you last saw me?" I asked them.

"What do you mean? We saw you at the grand magic games not more than two weeks ago." Erza told me.

I smiled and walked over to the edge of the ship to lean against the railing. "This is my airship and crew led by Captain Watcher." I told them. "We are heading back to the portal to exit this damn abyss." I told them.

Mirajane and Lily had reverted back to her original form, but were still covered in wounds. Mirajane started to approach me. She was about to say something when a loud crash gained our attention. I looked over the railing and behind the ship to see the titan class demon starting to chase after us. We were getting closer to the portal, but we wouldn't make it. I turned to Watcher and yelled at him.

"Get this ship to the portal!" I shouted.

"Were going as fast as we can!" Watcher shouted back.

"Just do it!" I told him and jumped over the railing.

"Laxus!"
"Laxus!"
"Laxus!"
"Laxus!"
My four old comrades yelled at me.

I flew off wrapped in my lightning. I soon charged up my magic and released it. "Roar of the thunder dragon!" I shouted as I launched my roar. It hit the titan and staggered it to one knee.

I heard screeching and saw the winged demons that I ran into earlier start to attack the ship. I started to make my way back to the ship and sent out lightning bolts at the demons. I killed them before they could get close to the ship. I saw Jellal was using his magic to help defend as well. The ship had finally made it to the portal and started to make its way through, but I heard a roar from behind me. I turned to see the titan running towards the portal. I shot towards the portal and saw the ship made it through. I rushed to follow after it as I heard the titan gaining on me with its massive strides. I was in front of the portal and saw the group looking in at me.

"Close the portal!" I yelled at them. I was hoping to time this up just right.

I rushed towards the portal and it started closing. I heard the massive foot steps behind me and I just barely got through the portal. Everyone started to cheer, but soon stopped by a massive crash.

"Guh!" I grunted out as I felt something grab hold of me.

I looked down to see the titans hand wrapped around my body. It had reached through the portal and grabbed me. I heard everyone start screaming, but so many things were happening that I couldn't focus. Everything started to proceed forward in slow motion. I felt my body being yanked back and saw the portal from the side of Tartarus. I saw Luna and many others start to run towards me. I held out my hand towards them, but as the titan pulled me back through the portal, it flung me across the wasteland. I centered myself in the air with my magic and looked to see the portal had closed, thus trapping me in here. I was so mad. After finally seeing my old friends again, I am now stuck here. I soon heard more screeches and saw more of the winged demons from before start to approach me, along with the titan. They made a mad dash towards me and the titan was covering ground fast. I was so mad, I started to unleash my full power. I couldn't do so before with out destroying the ship or injuring the already injured wizards. Soon lightning started to course over my entire body and I took off my black coat to let it fall to the wasteland. I brought forth my right arm and the emblem on it started glowing.

"Gather! O river of light that's guided by the fairies! Shine! In order to perish the fangs of evil!" I chanted and as I did so a column of light miles wide incased all of us. The titan, winged demons and me. "FAIRY GLITTER!" I screamed out in rage. The column of light soon started to move inward and a massive beam of magic descended upon the demons.

They screeched out in pain and I saw them writhe as the beam hit, but I soon felt the shockwave. I staggered to hold my position as I watched the demons disintegrate before my eyes, but could no longer watch as I was flung once again across the barren wasteland. I didn't take any damage from the attack, but it was certainly one of my strongest attacks and with the magic I put into it, I was sent flying quite a ways. I evened out in the air and soon recovered. I started to make my way back and looked down at my work. There was a giant crater where the titan was standing. It seemed to be miles wide and super deep. I could only smirk at my handy work. After admiring my attack and its destruction, I encased myself in my lightning to head back to where the portal was. I could only think of how nice it would have been to talk with those four again, but now I have to concentrate on how to survive and get out of here.

I came upon the area where the portal was and looked around. I was hoping that they would reopen the portal, but remembered that it was completely random if it wasn't by the gate.....The gate! I can try and make my way to the gate! I just have to figure out, which direction its in. The only problem is, I don't know which way is which and they never told me where it was.....This was gonna be a bitch, but I would endure. I have survive much worse and will return. I will not be robbed from my reunion with my friends after enduring such loneliness for three fucking years! They need me! They don't know what is going on and will need my help! With my mind set, I started to walk in a random direction.....Determined to return.

As I walked away from the portal I heard the shifting of rocks and heard a low groan. I charged up my magic into my right hand and turned to strike the enemy, but what I saw wasn't an enemy. My eyes widened as I took in appearance of the shifting rocks....I couldn't believe he came through the portal. I just smirked and went over to help him.

Mavis Point of View

I watched as the Makarov went through the portal following after Laxus. We heard the sounds of a quick battle and saw Laxus shoot some of his lightning off to the side. Screeches followed and soon the Makarov was off. We waited for a few minutes before we heard the sound of explosions coming from the distance. Many of us tried to look through the golden and blue portal, but it was a rippled image at best. We waited for any sound we could get, but all we heard was silence for a couple of minutes. I looked around the group to see many looking worried. Especially Luna, Duster and Twilight. I smiled at their expressions because I knew that Laxus was fine. After all, I am attached to him, so if something were to happen to him, I would disappear as well. The entire group was getting anxious and I could see the strain grow on princess Celestias face and her sisters.

With another explosion, our attention was drawn back to the portal. I looked inside and saw the Makarov heading straight for the portal. Bolts of lightning were shooting all around it and I knew Laxus was doing his best to protect the ship. Soon the ship made it to the portal, but we soon heard loud crashing sounds and we saw a massive demon behind the ship. It easily towered over the Makarov and the portal. Everyone started to prepare to attack it as soon as the Makarov came through the portal. It flew over our heads and I looked back through the portal to see Laxus rushing towards us with the towering demon right behind him.

"Close the portal!" He shouted through the portal in a slightly distorted voice.

The princess's started to release their magic power and the portal started to close right before us. I looked in the portal and saw Laxus rush through. I started to cheer instantly and so did many others, but as soon as we started, we stopped. Laxus was still in the air when I heard him grunt.

"Guh!" He forced out through a grunt.

I saw a massive black arm reach through the portal and grab him. The hand wrapped around his body and started to pull him back into the closing portal. Many of us cried out as we watched Laxus get dragged back in, powerless to stop it. However, one thing stood out above all else.

"Laxus!" I heard a voice cry out as it rushed towards the portal.

I look to see Spike jump into the closing portal. Many tried to stop him, but it was to no avail. All of us were standing there awestruck by what just happened. I fell to my knees and felt tears start to sting my eyes.

"Open the portal back up!" I heard Luna cry out. However, Celestia and Nightmare were exhausted and couldn't, but Luna was too emotional to see it. She went over and grabbed Celestia. "Open the portal!" She shouted with tears in her eyes.

Celestia looked down and I saw tears fill her eyes as well. Luna's lip quivered and she released her sister. I heard many start to cry and I looked to see Duster was struggling not to cry, but Twilight was in a state of shock. She was on her knees staring out into space as the other elements tried to comfort her. I looked amongst the group to see many were sad and looking down at the ground. It was then that I realized that it was no time for me to be crying. I soon stood and started to make my way to the front of the group. All members of Fairy Tail were looking at me.

"Wizards of Fairy Tail! Hear me! Laxus is still alive and I am sure he is taking care of Spike!" I announced. I knew the members would be hesitant to talk around all the guards, so I continued. "I know this because I am attached to Laxus. If he died, I would disappear! So have faith that the strongest man we all know will make his way back to us! In the mean time, I suggest training, so when he returns, he will be proud to see how much all of you have grown!" I announced and many started to look up. They were still sad, but they were less so now that they knew he was alive. "We need to take care of any wounded on the ship and get them treatment as fast as possible! Its what Laxus would want!" I told them and I saw Celestia nod. I was about to continue when I heard a familiar voice.

"Master?" I heard from above me and it gained the attention of everyone else present.

"Erza....." I said in a whisper of shock as I looked up to the familiar red head.

"Master!" Erza shouted and jumped off the ship. She ran over and hugged me which I returned with tears in my eyes.

I was about to say something when Watcher appeared over the railing of the ship. "The Queen needs immediate medical attention!" Watcher shouted down to us.

Many looked up at him. Confused at his statement. "Who!?" Shining Armor shouted.

"Queen Faust!" Watcher shouted and instantly the three princess cried out.

"MOTHER!!!"
"MOMMY!!!!"
"MOM!!!!"
All of them yelled out.

I smiled as I saw them rush up to the ship and they disappeared over the railing, but soon heard the sound of crying coming from the deck. However, I heard more voices.

"Erza!? Where are you?" I heard a male voice asked.

I looked up to see Jellal was on the ship as well. I was surprised. "Down here Jellal!" Erza shouted up to him. "The first master is here!" She shouted and I heard more commotion come from above us. I looked to see Mirajane and Pantherlily look down at us.

"Master Mavis!" Mirajane cried out.

"Master!" Lily said and both jumped over.

I looked to see them falling and Jellal jumped after them with a confused look on his face. The other two ran up and hugged me as well. I smiled as I returned the hugs.

Erza let go and went over to whisper to Jellal. She was probably explaining what was going on. Many of the guards were looking at them like they were crazy, but the other guild members were looking at us shocked.

"Master? Who are these people?" I heard Duster ask.

I looked at her to see her looking very stressed. She seemed to be trying to distract herself.

I smiled sadly at her. "These are all Fairy Tail wizards." I stated simply.

"They are wizards of Fairy Tail!?" Cider Blossom asked me shocked.

"Not only that, but these three are all famous." I stated. I looked over and saw Pantherlily in his smaller form. "This is Pantherlily. He is what we call an Exceed and is very good with a sword." I stated and he gave a confident grin. "This is Mirajane and she is an S class wizard." I stated and everyone stared at her shocked. "This is Erza and she is also an S class wizard." I said and the group was stunned even more. At this point they were mimicking fishes. "And this is Jellal. He is one of the Ten Wizard Saints." I stated and everyone jaws hit the floor.

"Master, who are these people?" I heard Mirajane ask me.

I smiled. "These are new members of Fairy Tail." I told them and all three of them looked at me surprised.

"Where is Fairy Tail? Where is the master? In fact, where did Laxus go? He was right behind us." Erza asked me.

My smile fell and I soon realized that these four haven't changed at all. I'm guessing Laxus didn't have time to explain anything, so now that task falls to me. I sighed as I looked at them and thought about where to start.

"A lot has happened since we last saw you....." I told them and prepared to reveal to them everything.

Laxus Point of View

I walked over to Spike as he was trying to move in the ruble. I was hoping he was okay. I didn't hold back on my attack, but centered it a few miles away from him and towards the titan. I started to remove the rocks from the top of Spike and I heard him groan.

"You okay down there?" I asked him with concern.

"Yeah...." He forced out through a strained voice.

He started to push himself up and the remaining ruble fell to his side. He grabbed his head like he had a headache. He looked around and saw me looking at him with concern.

"What happened?" Spike asked me.

"Apparently, you ran through the portal after me once that demon had grabbed a hold of me. That was very brave of you Spike." I stated and he smiled at me.

"You needed help!" He told me. "I know that I'm not as strong as you, but I wanted to help in anyway I can!" He said with a look of determination on his face. "But, when I came through the portal, I saw you get flung away and the demons just ignored me to go after you...." He said softly. "I then saw that giant pillar of light....What was that anyway?" He asked me. "It was so powerful!" He exclaimed.

I chuckled. "Well that would have been me." I told him and he just looked at me with a blank stare. "I didn't know you had followed me through the portal, but if I did, I wouldn't have used such a powerful attack." I told him.

"Geez Master. You really have been holding back, haven't you? That attack was insane!" He said.

I smirked. "Yes well. Its important to know restraint. I apologize for any injury I might have caused you Spike." I told him.

He smirked. "Dragons are tough! Besides, I think I got lucky your attack wasn't focused on me, but my question is, how are we gonna get out of here?" He asked me.

I sighed. "They cant reopen the portal because it would just pop up randomly and we wont be able to make our own. So, we will have to find the gate that is used to guard against the forces of Tartarus." I told him.

He winced. "Well, I know that the gate is supposedly to the South." Spike said.

I quirked a brow. "How do you know that?" I asked him.

"Twilight started to do a ton of research when Cerberus left the gates on accident." Spike stated. "If we go South we should be able to find the gate, but the problem is that it could take a long time to get there." Spike told me.

"Whys that?" I asked him.

"Well.....Tartarus is supposed to be as big, if not bigger, than Equestria. Depending on where we are, it could take weeks or months to reach the gate." Spike explained.

That's right, I thought to myself. I completely forgot that Tartarus was so big. I might have been able to travel faster without Spike here, but I wouldn't know which direction to head. I looked at him and saw that he was concerned. I put my hand on his shoulder and smiled.

"We will be fine if we work together." I told him with a smile. "Do you know which way South is?" I asked him.

"I think so...." He said in response. I could tell he was slightly unsure of himself. "I think its that way." Spike said pointing in a random direction.

I patter his shoulder and smiled. "Then lets get going." I told him with a smile.

He looked at me shocked. "You really trust me?" Spike asked me.

I looked over my shoulder and saw him looking down. "I do." I stated and he looked at me. "You are a part of Fairy Tail and you wouldn't have joined me in this godforsaken place if you weren't sure of yourself Spike. So show some confidence in yourself." I told him.

He smiled. "Thanks master. Its just, we've never really gotten a chance to talk like this." Spike said innocently.

I frowned. He was right. I have been avoiding him. "Spike, there's something I need to talk to you about......" I told him and he looked at me confused. I sighed and got ready to explain myself as we set off.

Author's Notes:

Hey guys and gals! Don't ask me why, but I started to reread my own story and I realized that in the beginning of this story I didn't really edit it. This was because I didn't feel as though many of you would like this story. I had just been reading on Fimfiction and was looking for some Fairy Tail stories, but there are very few. That's when I decided to write this story, but didn't really care about the grammatical errors there might be. I hope my grammar is much better now, but I will do what I can to go back and fix the earlier chapters. I'm doing this for a few reasons. First: It needs to be done and I will fix it to the best of my ability. Second: You, the readers, read through the chapters and stuck with me to this point. I feel as though it is my responsibility if you ever want to reread this story that I should go back and fix as many mistakes as I can. Lastly: For any new readers, who might be turned off from all the mistakes in the beginning. I will go back as soon as I get the time, but want all of you to know that it wont take away from the next chapter. Thanks for reading guys and sticking with me through this story.

Over 11379 total views and 1180 views! 187 Thumbs up! 32 Followers and being tracker by over 241 users! It can also be found in over 522 bookshelves. I want to thank those of you who went back and gave me a thumbs up. I really appreciate it after my last authors note. Many of you responded and gave me that like. I would like to thank all of you who have taken an interest in this story and hope that this chapter will gain your attention even more.

Now, if you are concerned with the characters I chose, please remember that I have already planned out most of this story. I wanted Erza and Jellal to come to Equestria because I think they are a cute couple. I thought Mira would be a good addition because she would have lost her family again....I know that's sad, but I will make it add to her character. Lastly, Pantherlily. Laxus needed a fucking cat! Enough said. However, please remember that darker forces are always at work. Muahahahaha!:trixieshiftleft:

Last announcement. I'm sure you guys hate reading through all of these throughout the course of this story, but I wanted to let you know that I have been working really hard on my new story. I am not quite ready to release it, but I think it should be ready by the next chapter. It will be a lot different from this story and will be darker, but I think many of you might like it. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message. One last warning though. The character will not be as overpowered as Laxus is in this, but will still be very strong. It is a mix of a specific Video game, along with some anime powers and a very popular cartoon that aired in America. All of these powers are combined into one and give the main character his own problems at the same time. Hope you enjoy the story, so look forward to it! Thanks guys!
