*Fairy Tail Guild Hall, Magnolia Town, Fiore; October 22, 2019; 4:26 PM*

Alex and Mavis stepped out to the Main Room of the Guild Hall, where all of the perks, the Gobblegum machine, and the Mystery Box had been relocated.

"Look who's here!" Yang grinned as everyone else turned in surprise to see the pair, including Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen.

"That's who was preventing Dr. Monty's assistance from reaching the Guild Hall?" Richtofen asked.

"It doesn't seem unlikely.." Nikolai shrugged, referring to Samantha.

"Hello, Alex. Who is that next to you?" Erza asked.

"WHAT'S A LITTLE GIRL DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?!" Natsu shouted, obviously concerned.

"Clam it, Natsu!" Gray scolded.

"SHUT UP, GRAY!!" Natsu retorted.

"They're hopeless.." Lucy sighed.

"Are you going to pay attention, you two? Or are you just going to bicker until one of those Apothicons tears it's way through here?" Ultimus demanded scathingly.

"My name is Mavis Vermillion. Fairy Tail's first Guild Master." Mavis introduced.

Needless to say, the entirety of the guild started screaming.

"STOP SCREAMING!!" Yang shouted over everyone.

After a few moments, the guild silenced.

"First Master is a brilliant tactician. She may well be the key to Fairy Tail's survival in these dark times. Do we have a plan, First Master?" Makarov asked.

"What sort of enemy are we dealing with?" Mavis asked.

Richtofen cleared his throat.

"Ze Apothicons. Ze ancient evil that has been plaguing my universe, and now yours as well, for untold millennia. These monsters are capable of raising the undead and causing untold destruction upon entire universes. They are led by ze Shadow Man, often considered the one and only, original Harbinger of Doom." Richtofen explained.

"If that's not bad enough, The Shadow Man is also using the Grimm to his advantage. The Grimm themselves are also a literal f**king horror show themselves, to the point where they could tear down entire kingdoms with just three people helping from the sidelines." Alex explained.

"O-Oh.." Mavis' smile gradually faded.

"But.. Think of it this way..! We have... 20 or so Battle-fit Mages, 14 zombie-killing super soldiers, 5 Grimm-Hunting warriors, 6 magical ponies capable of defeating the likes of gods, and... Whatever Alex, Ultimus, and Cade are.." Kat quickly tried to regain Mavis' confidence.

"Keep in mind, we've also got access to all the perks and weapons now, thankfully." Dempsey added.

"Don't you mean 'tank-fully'?" Yang joked.

Most of the people in the room groaned at Yang's terrible pun.

"Can we just go through one mission without a single pun?!" Cade begged.

"Hmmm.... Nope." Yang smirked.

"... Moving on." Makarov shrugged.

"Anyways, what can we use to our advantage?" Mavis asked.

"The perks? Well.... Uh... Y'know what? Here." Wildcat decided, handing Mavis a pamphlet.

"Why are you giving her the pamphlet?!" Terroriser groaned in annoyance.

"How else is she gonna know about all the perks? It's not like they're native to this universe!" Wildcat defended.

"No one reads the pamphlet!" Moo rolled his eyes.

"Why did you even make the pamphlet when I had a little coloring book prepared?!" Basically added.

"Or we could've just use Mini's forehead as a billboard!" Nogla insisted.

"F**k off, Nogla!" Mini retorted.

"Oh, come on! We know Evan could've just made an educational animation with the Source Film-whatever!" Delirious added.

"For your information, Delirious, I don't have my shit with me!" Vanoss shouted.

"Can we just show her a Zombies tutorial and hope she gets it?" Fourzer0 shrugged.

"I don't care, I'm using the box." Ohm decided.

"I-I could make a stage play with the guys at Cockatoos.." Droidd said in a low voice.

"I'd use the pamphlet, just saying.." Lui stated.

"WILL EVERYONE SHUT UP FOR TWO SECONDS ABOUT THE STUPID PAMPHLET?!" Wildcat shouted.

Ruby pulled out her scroll, set a timer, and by that point, two seconds had passed.

"Aww.." Ruby pouted.

"It's okay, Rubes. You did your best." Sun smiled.

"Okay.. I get it.." Mavis nodded.

"See?! The pamphlet was okay!" Wildcat yelled.

"Alright... Moo? Did you find anything of importance?" Alex asked.

"Well... We found an audio recording.. Kat, you remember the Red Dawn guild?" Moo asked.

"Oh, god.. They're not here, are they?!" Kat asked, shaking with fear.

"Oh, no, they're all dead. Except for their Guild Master, who's apparently King Sombra." Ohm stated, grabbing his Death Machine.

"Wait.. The Red Dawn?! That Dark Guild that mysteriously disappeared?!" Erza gasped.

"It seems that they tampered with forces beyond their control, under the research of a 'Dr. Kravinoff'." Takeo explained.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Gray asked.

"Dr. Kravinoff found a 115 Meteorite in his experiments and was forced to seal his facility underground." Nikolai explained.

"My beloved Gray found something that might help this quest!" Juvia declared.

"Oh, yeah.. Gray found this while we were searching for the box.." Lucy stated, handing a Lacrima to Richtofen.

"A lacrima?" Alex pondered.

Everyone watched as another recording soon appeared from the Lacrima.

"H-Hello... My name is Andrew Davis... One of Dr. Kravinoff's research assistants.. Dr. Kravinoff stated that while a great danger is trapped underneath Magnolia Town, he didn't want his research completely gone.. He hired an independent guild to clear out a section of the underground ruins, and downloaded his mind onto a computer containing all of his research. I don't know what Dr. Kravinoff is doing, but I'm hoping it's for the greater good. The entrance to said facility is hidden near Magnolia Station. To anyone willing to find Kravinoff's research... Good luck.." The recording stopped, leaving everyone watching dumbfounded.

"We need to push to the Station, but we'll need everyone if we're going to pull off even getting a small group inside.." Alex decided.

"The Station is completely infested. It's suicide." Gajeel stated.

"What choice do we have?!" Natsu demanded.

"You know... Normally we would have trouble with this, but thankfully, I called for someone, and they're coming to help us!" Kat declared.

"F**kin' A, kiddo." Dempsey grinned.

"ALL RIGHT!!" The room was in a uproar of cheers as Airships landed outside the Guild Hall.

"These are Adenien Class V Battleships!" Ultimus stated.

A combined unit of Faunus of the Silver Ocelots and Adenien Ryders poured out of the ship, armed and fighting off all the Undead outside.

"Guess who's back?!" An armored, white haired cat Faunus grinned, opening the door.

"Liss?!" Cade gasped.

"Cade? Auburn? You guys are in Fairy Tail now?" Liss asked, curious.

"You know her?" Erza asked.

"She's the leader of a.. What exactly are the Silver Ocelots again?" Alex asked.

"The Silver Ocelots are Remnant's premier Paramilitary group." Liss proudly declared.

Another figure entered the room alongside Liss, carrying a machine gun.

"Hello Saigo, Ultimus." The man, a 7-foot tall cyborg with a mostly mechanical face, greeted.

"Who are you?" Alex asked.

The man grinned.

"My name is Protá. Protá Krete, Current Leader of the Adenien Ryder Corps, and son of the Supreme Leader." Protá introduced.

"Hm.. What's your business here?" Ultimus scowled.

"I was called to assist because an extra-dimensional threat is currently plaguing the town. Along with Agent Kitmai, I was called by the Supreme Leader to contain the conflict." Protá explained.

"You're all here to help?!" Lucy smiled.

"Seems like it.. Hello, Dr. Richtofen." Liss smiled.

"Agent." Richtofen greeted.

"You two know each other?" Yang asked.

"We had overlapping goals during my research after sat whole mess with ze Giant Robots." Richtofen explained.

"Anyways, what's the plan?" Alex asked.

"Okay.. I need three Groups, Groups A and B are going to be pretty big. I need all of Fairy Tail in Group A, and the Ponies, Huntsmen, and Mr. Fong's men in Group B. Dr. Richtofen's Group C will be able to go into the Ruins and find anything that could help. Alex, you and your family will stand by unless Richtofen needs the help. Ultimus and Kat, I need you co-leading the Ryders and the Silver Ocelots respectively." Mavis decided.

"Listen up! The Ryders will be co-led by Ultimus, and the Ocelots are being led by Kat! I need all of Fairy Tail in one group, and Huntsmen, Ponies, and Weenie Boys in the other! Richtofen, I need you to go into the Ruins and call Yang and I if you need help!" Alex explained for everyone who couldn't hear Mavis.

"Everyone needs Jugg and Speed Cola! Use that third slot for anything! Buy a Gobblegum, too!" Vanoss added as everyone rushed towards the machines.

"WOO HOO!! LET'S PARTY!!" Pinkie cheered.

"Magic in the form of a drink? How does Dr. Monty make these?" Twilight wondered.

Alex, taking a swig of the Juggernog, gagged as he swallowed, coughing it all back up.

"Heh.. Looks like someone didn't quite get biology." Ultimus smirked.

"The hell you talking about?" Alex asked.

"Adenienites can't drink, Emphas. Our bodies treat alcohol essentially like poison." Ultimus explained.

"Oh, you're kidding me! That would've been useful a long time ago!" Alex groaned.

Alex had once challenged Cana to a drinking contest for Yang, in which the loser had to select a job chosen by the winner. The job she had chosen for him had left him scarred for life since.

Dr. Monty suddenly appeared, carrying with him a mini-fridge.

"Hello! Terribly sorry about all that, I didn't realize you had backup, much less Adenienite backup! Here.. This should be potable for you guys." Dr. Monty apologized, placing the Juggernog mini-fridge

onto the bar.

Dr. Monty then teleported and reappeared, each time carrying a variety of different Adenienite-friendly perks.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't make a non-alcoholic Deadshot.. Oh, well.. Not my most popular anyways." Dr. Monty shrugged, teleporting out the room.

Alex grabbed Juggernog, Speed Cola, and Electric Cherry. Collecting his things, he sat down next to Yang and Auburn.

"Hey, Alex!" Yang smiled.

"Heya.. So, we've got help now.." Alex smirked.

"Heck yeah! We might actually win this! Cheers!" Yang raised her Juggernog and cheered with Alex, the bottles making a resounding 'klink'! as the two took a swig.

"Wait, no, don't smash the-" Mirajane winced as everyone reflexively smashed their bottles on the ground.

"NO!! EVERYBODY SMASHES THEM! WHY CAN'T YOU GUYS JUST DRINK THE REST OF IT LIKE THIS NICE GENTLEMAN HERE?!" Dr. Monty reappeared, gesturing to Alex.

"Hey." Alex waved awkwardly.

"Well.. I've said my piece, good luck, all!" Dr. Monty waved, teleporting away again.

"First Master?" Auburn began.

Mavis directed her attention to Auburn.

"Yes?"

"What are your plans for us once we're ready?" Auburn asked.

"I'm still working on it.. Where are most of the zombies and Grimm?" Mavis asked.

"A large group has taken up each route, meaning we can't get to the Station without encountering heavy resistance." Auburn explained.

Mavis sat in thought for a few moments.

"How many per street?" Mavis asked.

"Mostly Ursai and Margwas, unfortunately.." Auburn sighed.

"Hmm... So this 'Shadowman' really doesn't want us at that station.." Mavis figured.

"Wait..! If we have jets now, then why can't we just fly over them to the station?" Vanoss asked.

"Air superiority. Those Apothicons in the sky are going to keep us at ground level. I'm not even sure how the Ryders and the Ocelots got in." Cade replied.

"Hold on.. We could trap one Apothicon like in Revelations, why can't we hold off three?" Wildcat wondered.

"Might I suggest something?" Protá asked.

"We'll take what we can get." Alex shrugged.

"The dark energies the Apothicons have are similar to the Grimm, and according to Remnant legend, a silver-eyed warrior could paralyze Grimm with fear, yes?" Protá wondered.

"How did you-?" Ruby gasped.

"- If that is the case, surely such a warrior can keep the Apothicons at bay while we fly to the station, correct?" Protá wondered, turning to face Ruby.

"S-Sure!" Ruby smiled.

"That's my sis!" Yang cheered, hugging Ruby.

"We need troop transport vehicles at our location ASAP! Extra fighters should be able to flank them!" Liss shouted into the radio.

"Wait! We need Pack-A-Punch!" Dempsey demanded.

Ruby turned back and smiled at Dempsey.

"No problem." Ruby confidently smiled.

"Damn, Ruby's in the zone..!" Sun grinned.

Ruby stepped outside, glaring up at the three Apothicons as she began to glow with a silver light.

"That's so awesome!!" Scootaloo gasped in awe.

"Who knew humans could do stuff like this?!" Sweetie Belle agreed.

"What kind of Magic Power is that?!" Natsu wondered.

Yang smirked at Natsu.

"Let's just say things are looking... Grimm.. For those things."

"OH COME ON!!"

Ruby's hair began to stand on end, turning a light gray as her eyes began to glow.

"SILVER SHINE!!" Ruby shouted as a wave of bright light burst out of her eyes.

The silvery energy flowed up from Ruby's eyes all the way to the three Apothicons, their inhuman screeches filling the air.

"Woah!!" Vanoss gasped, covering his eyes.

"I don't believe it..! How can a child do that much damage to such monstrosities?!" Ultimus gasped.

"Wait..! It is slowing them down, but it is not stopping them.!!" Richtofen gasped with terror.

"Girls, get your elements..!" Twilight whispered.

Twilight, Fluttershy, Pinkie, and the CMC ran out alongside Ruby, watching as the Apothicons began to fly towards them.

"Alex..!" Yang gasped.

"Oh, shit!" Alex shook, readying an attack.

"Quick, girls..! We need to fight back before those things kill us all!" Twilight urged.

"We'll do it together, Twi! Three... Two.. One..! " Ruby charged another attack as The elements began to shine brightly.

"Will that work?!" Nikolai gaped.

"Just in case, Everyone get your defensive spells ready!" Malaria urged.

"HARMONIAL SILVER SHINE!!!" Ruby yelled as the combined energy of the Elements and the Silver Eyed Warrior's powers took their toll on the Apothicons, as all three fell in front of them, with one coughing out a familiar machine before passing.

"Pack-A-Punch!" Vanoss cheered as everyone piled in to upgrade their weapons.

"Alright. Wonder Weapons are of utmost importance! Upgrade those first!" Takeo advised.

"Wait, can we Pack-A-Punch the Bows?" Wildcat asked.

"HOLY SHIT! WE CAN!" Lui cheered.

"Guys! Try going for Dead Wire when you Pack-A-Punch! Alex and his other thunder buddies need that shit!" Terroriser shouted.

"Reminds me.. I forgot my Gobblegum.." Alex shrugged, placing a Jewel inside the coin slot.

Alex picked up the Gobblegum in his two fingers, looking at the little emblem.

"Nice! You got Pop Shocks! Whenever you melee, you shock all the zombies!" Vanoss told him.

"Well, at least it'll let me save up some energy." Alex figured as Yang carried her Gauntlet and Arm and upgraded them both.

"Nice! 'Celestial Detonator'!" Yang cheered, placing the weapon on her wrist with the recovered arm, with now had a cosmic blue and red finish.

Alex put his weapon, the 'Static Fate', inside and waited for the upgrade to finish.

The scimitar floated out of the machine with a similar color, carrying the weapon and reading the weapon name out loud.

"'Agartha's Thunder'." Alex noted, converting the weapon to it's Battle Rifle form.

"Hey, Alex? You wonder what that one sign on the Pack-A-Punch is implying there?" Yang asked, pointing to the one sign on the machine with the Ray Guns. One of the ray guns had the barrel drooping downwards.

"Real mature." Alex shook his head.

"Alright! That about covers everything! The transports are here!" Liss shouted as four Troop Transports landed in front of the Guild Hall.

The masses charged into the transports as the jets circled around, with Alex, Yang, Cade, Auburn, Ruby, Sun, The Elements, and Vanoss' crew in one, all 24 watching Fairy Tail, the Ryders, and the Ocelots get inside their own transports from their window as it closed, shrouding the interior in darkness until a red light flickered on above them.

"Just like old times, isn't it?" Ruby smiled.

"Yeah.. Ain't it just." Alex sighed.

"Well, whatever happens, at least we're all together." Fluttershy said, voice shaking nervously.

The group suddenly felt lighter as the Transport shifted upwards.

*Meanwhile*

Makarov watched from inside the Guild Hall as the transports took off. Silently praying that his 'children' would all survive the endeavor.

"I understand how you feel, Makarov." Mavis suddenly said.

Makarov sighed.

"It never gets easy. But The Guild is strong enough to overcome such a challenge. And from what I've seen with Natsu, Gray, and all the rest, they can end this disaster." Makarov admitted.

"And what if they don't?" Mavis wondered.

"First Master?" Makarov asked curiously.

"Fairy Tail was always strong in the face of opposition. Against other guilds, monsters, and even itself. But our opponent is a force of evil that Earth-Land has not seen until today. Lucky for us, a true tactician always has a contingency plan!" Mavis explained.

*Meanwhile*

"We are still the victors here, I assure you." The Shadowman promised.

Salem slammed her fist down on the table.

"With all due respect, Harbinger, my Arbiters, my followers, are all dead..! For my sake, even three of your Leviathans were killed!" Salem shook her head.

"Relax, Lady Salem. I have my own plans." The Shadowman promised.

"Plans?" Salem demanded.

"Indeed. You remember that fool, Lucien Sombra?" The Shadowman asked.

Author's Notes:

Reinforcements have arrived, and the pieces have been rearranged! Mavis and the combined might of Salem and the Shadowman decide to play their own trump cards, but what could they be planning?

Tune in next time on Blood Red Shadows II!
