Unknown Dimension

The Ash clone fell out of the dimension gate and closed it right behind him. After it closed, he took a look around at his surroundings. He was in some kind of a forest. There were plenty of trees and plants all around him. There seemed to be a dirt road right in front of him so he starts walking in the forest. He took in all of the beauty of the forest. It was like traveling in a forest from a storybook land. While traveling he could sense plenty traces of magic all around him. Including in the air.

*Sob* *Sob*

He heard the sound of crying from somewhere around him. He looked up ahead and saw a little girl crying while slowly walking on the dirt road. This girl looked to be about 4-5 years old. She has short dark blue hair. And is wearing a tan shirt and light blue shorts. Her crying like this made his heart ache and was about to comfort her but forgot one thing. This girl was sad and if he goes up to him like this he might scare her. He thought about what to do and got an idea. He used his reality warping powers to change his body. His hair got a little shorter and so did his muscles. His clothes shrank as well to fit his new body. After he was done he looked like a kid version of himself.

He checked his new body and found it pretty adjustable to his regular form. When he looked at the little girl, he found her to be a couple of feet away from her. He spoke up and said, "Hey. Why are you crying?"

The girl opened her eyes with tears flowing from them. He thought that she would be scared of him and just run away but that didn't happen. She ran to him and clutched onto his clothes. She buried her face into his chest and kept on crying. She said with tears in her eyes, "She left me. Grandine left me all alone."

While she was crying, he heard the a name that sounded familiar to him. Grandine. One of the same dragons that gifted him with dragon slayer magic. And then another thought came to his mind. If that name is here then that means he is in the world of Fairy Tail. And this girl clutching to his clothes is Wendy Marvel.

He pushed all of those thoughts away in his mind for later and focused on the immediate problem. The little girl crying on his clothes. He hugged and rubbed her head to calm her down. He doesn't like to see others cry and wants to help them if he can.

After about a couple of minutes, the girl relaxed and stopped crying. She thought it felt a little nice getting hugged by someone even if he is a stranger to her. Ash said in a soft tone, "Are you feeling better now?" She nodded while still keeping her face pushed into his clothes. "Do you want to know something interesting?" She looked at him with little traces of tears from her face that he wiped away. "I haven't seen my dragons in a long time either."

Her eyes widen at that and said, "You were trained by dragons?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yes I was trained by more than one dragon, meaning that I know more than just one dragon slayer art along with some other types of magic. I was given magic by magic by Grandine."

She gasped with wide eyes after hearing the name of her dragon. She said, "You were given dragon slayer magic by Grandine?" He nodded. "Do you know where she is? I miss her so much." He shook his head which disappointed her so much.

It looked like she was about to cry some more so he thought of something that would cheer her up. He said, "I haven't seen her in a long time, but I know if she was here she wouldn't want to see you crying because of her. She would want you to remain strong and keep moving forward, because I know somewhere they are watching us and seeing all that we accomplish because of them. So, can you try and be strong for your dragon and move forward?

This girl didn't know this person but she beginning to trust him. Here she was just crying her eyes out for her dragon leaving her alone. She thought that she might be alone for a long time but a stranger comes along to cheer her up. He is not only a dragon slayer but also comforted her when she needed her. He cared for her and told her he was in the same situation in losing her dragon. When he told her those words of encouragement she felt a lot better. She felt as if she could stand on her own two feet and continue on.

She looked at Ash and said, "Yes. I can be strong. I can be strong for Grandine."

He smiled and rubbed her head. He said, "Good. Now, can you tell what your name is?"

She nodded and stepped back a little. She said, "My name is Wendy. Wendy Marvel."

Ash said, "It's a pleasure to meet you Wendy. My name is Ash." While introducing himself he got an idea that would making greeting a little more interesting. "Hey Wendy, do you want to see something fun?

Wendy was confused and asked, "What is it?"

He didn't say anything and activated one of his skills. His body began to shine bright that covered parts of the area. Wendy covered her from the light while also thinking what her new friend is going to do. When the light subsided and Wendy removed her eyes from her face. What she saw was surprising. In front of her were three colored, anthropomorphic hippos. There was an orange hippo, a light green hippo, and a yellow hippo. They were dressed like they came from a party.

Ash activated his skill of the spell Hippo Carnival inside of him and turned into the dancing hippos. All three of them danced around and said, "Kaba Kaba Kaba Kaba Ka. Kaba Kaba Kaba Kaba Ka. Kaba Kaba Kaba Kaba Ka. Kaba Kaba Kaba Kaba Ka. Kaba Kaba Kaba Kaba Ka. Kaba Kaba Kaba Kaba Ka!" They were dancing around while singing. Wendy was a little confused as to how Ash was able to turn into three different hippos. But when they started to sing and dance she just pushed that aside and started to enjoy the show. After the hippos were done dancing, they struck a pose and took a bow.

Wendy clapped the amazing performance and said, "That was amazing, Ash. How did you do it?"

One of the hippos stepped in front of her said, "It was just a little trick I can do."

Another hippo said, "And here is another one."

The three hippos stood beside each other and their bodies began to glow. This was the same glow that Ash released before turning into the three hippos. Wendy covered her eyes and waited to see what Ash's next transformation will be. When the light subsided she uncovered her to look at Ash. She looked to see another hippo with a magenta coat on with a big bow tie. He has on a hat and a single blue hair on his head. On his face were two stars. One was yellow while the other was light green. He has blue nails on his feet and his tail is curled with a heart at the tip of it. Ash turned into Performapal Hip Hippo.

Ash ran around in this form to get a handle on this new form. After running around for a couple of minutes, he stopped right beside Wendy. He said, "Come on, Wendy. Let's move on." Wendy nodded and tried to get on Ash's back. He bent down a little to help her. After a little while she got on his back and they were off. He ran around while Wendy hanged onto his coat. She was a little scared of falling off but when she opened her eyes she was feeling the wind her hair. She was having fun from riding on Ash. When she was with she felt safe.

They were traveling with each other for the whole day and had fun. When the sun was going down they stopped by an area near a lake and few trees with fruit in them. Ash made a fire and grabbed some fruit from the tree. He used his Superhuman Smell to make sure all of the fruit was good and it was. He gathered up all of the food and brought it back to Wendy. They divided it up between each other and enjoyed the night sky. When they were full from their eating, Ash made a blanket appear with his magic and covered Wendy and himself with it. Wendy cuddled up next to him to keep herself warm. He wanted to make her more warm so he increased the heat on his body. After that they both fell asleep listening to the sounds of the forest.

Next Day

It was morning time and the sun shined brightly in the sky. Both Ash and Wendy woke up from their slumber. After they ate some food they went on their way. It didn't matter where they went because their company was all they cared about. While traveling with each other, Ash found it enjoyable to be around her. It was like being back in Equestria and hanging out with the fillies. Wendy liked being with Ash because he was there for her when she needed someone. In a way, he saved her life. They traveled with each other for a long time going from place to place without knowing where they were going.

Later, they met a strange boy on their journey. This boy looked to be about 10 years old, with not much on them except the clothes on his back, a backpack and a staff attached to the backpack. He said his name was Jellal but Ash knew his real identity and felt that he shouldn't reveal it. He was all alone himself and asked if he could join Ash and Wendy's journey. They could feel that was a person so they let him him journey them. Now they were a traveling group of three and enjoying the company. They looked out for each other and took care of one another.

One day, Jellal says he has to leave somewhere and go on his own journey. He didn't give much of a reason why he is leaving except it is something he had to do alone. So we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. Now it was just Ash and Wendy traveling together, but he knew that it wouldn't last long. While traveling together, Ash heard of a guild that is close by that could watch out for Wendy. The only problem was convincing Wendy to stay at the guild. And she was not too happy about it.

Wendy said, "Why? I want to stay with you?"

Ash said, "I know you want to, but you can't."

Wendy said, "Did I do something wrong? If I did I'll fix it. Please Ash don't leave me."

Ash said, "Wendy, there is a guild close by us. There you'll be safe."

Wendy said, "Noooooo." She ran up to Ash and held his clothes with tears in her eyes.

Ash sighed and said, " Wendy. I know you want to stay with me, but I have to be at places that are too dangerous for you to be at. But I promise you that I will see you again and we can have way more fun again, okay?"

Wendy was silenced for a few minutes and wiped away her tears. She looked up at him and said, "You promise?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yes I promise."

That was enough to convince her. So they took each others hands and headed their way to the Cait Shelter guild.

Cait Shelter Guild

When they got to the guild, Ash talked to the guild's master. He asked him if they could take care of Wendy. He was glad to take care of Wendy and accepted her into his guild. After everything was settled, Ash gave Wendy a big hug and said his goodbyes. He knows that he will see her again one day. When he was at a good distance, Ash disappeared in a puff of smoke, sending information to the others that gave some of them the idea to turn into a kid depending on their location.

Unknown City

A portal opened and a kid Ash came out of it. He closed the portal and took a look around. He was shocked to where he found himself. He was in a city that was engulfed in flames. Most of the buildings were destroyed or just barely standing from the destruction. While looking around he found something on the ground that was a few distances away from him. It was a young girl laying on the ground and was not moving. He ran to her to check on her to see if she was okay.

He saw that she was a little girl with short, pink hair and red ear muffs on. He looked at her body and saw that she had a couple of scratches and burn marks on he body. So he put his hand over her forehead and covered her body with a red membrane. He healed all the wounds on her body that took a few seconds and after that he took back the membrane and looked at her healed body. He looked at her face closely and now knows who this girl is. This is Meredy who was with a dark guild but then left and formed a guild with Jellal. But before any of that she was found by a women named Ultear that found her in a burning town that could be this place. He needs to put this right to he released a few insects that will find Ultear and see if she is heading in this direction. A sound caught his attention that came from right under him. Meredy was waking up with tired eyes that looked like she was about to go to sleep in any moment.

She said, "Who are you?"

Ash smiled and rubbed her head and said, "My name is Ash."

She asked, "Did you save me?"

Ash said, "Yes. I did."

She smiled and said, "Thank you."

Ash said, "You're welcome." While he was sitting with her his insects sent him a message that a women with long black hair is a few distances away from them. Ash liked that and knew what he had to do. He picked up the little girl and walked in the right the direction that the women was coming.

She asked, "Where are we going?"

Ash said, "I'm taking you to someone who will take good care of you."

She asked, "Why can't you take care of me?"

Ash said, "I can't take care of you because I have to go to places where I can't take care of you, but I know this person will." He stopped in the middle of the street and placed on the ground and cast a sleeping spell on her that will make her fall asleep. Her eyes were slowly closing but she still asked one question.

She asked, "Will I ever see you again?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yes. I'm sure we'll see each other again."

She smiled and fell asleep. Ash heard some footsteps and made himself invisible so no one will see him. He saw a women coming out of the shadows. This women had long black hair and had a long purple robe. She saw the little girl on the ground and checked on her. She saw that the girl was still alive and the women looked at the girl with a smile like she was thinking of something. After that two other figures came out of the shadows, one was a guy with long yellow spiky hair in a robe that shows his right shoulder and a guy with long black hair wearing a cape while eating ice cream. They saw this women looking at a little girl that was still alive and told the women to kill the girl. Ash was about to intervene but the women picked up the sleeping girl and said that she will take care of her and accept any repercussions from her master for her decision. The two guys didn't see anyway to change her mind so they just accepted it and moved on.

Ash was glad to see the little girl being taken care of and hopes she enjoys her life. After the three people left, Ash called all of his insects back into him. When he received all of his insects back, he disappeared in a poof and left the location.

Unknown village

A portal opened and another kid Ash stepped out before the portal closed. He looked and found himself in a village. It was just an ordinary village. Nothing of the it seemed out of place. There were normal houses that were made of stone and wood. He took a walk around the place to get a better look at it. When he looked at it he saw that this village was very similar to Ponyville. He looked around and found that the villagers were in front of a house. They were carrying a lot of weapons like they were an angry mob trying to push out a monster. Ash walked through the crowd and made his way to the front of the group and when he did a window opened and a little girl with short grey hair appeared with an angry face. The crowd stopped and listened to what she was going to say.

She shouted, "My big sister was the only one brave enough to fight the demon at the church. She put her own life at risk to save all of yours. How can you treat her like this? The only reason she got possessed in the first place was because she was trying to help. You should be thanking her. None of this is her fault." She broke down put her head on the window seal and cried. The crowd didn't much moved by this except for Ash.

He was very impressed that someone was able to fight demon and take care of it for her village. He hated that the villagers were doing something like this to a little girl who did nothing but try to help him. Ash walked closely to the window seal that the girl was crying on. The crowd were looking at the young boy and wondered what he was going to do. The girl crying heard some footsteps and looked up to see a boy walking up to her. When Ash was close to her he raised his and she was afraid he was going to hurt her, but that didn't happen. He put his hand on her head rubbed it. This confused her looked at the boy in front of her and saw he had a smile on her face. He said, "You're a good little sister to stand for your big sister. Let me handle this and later we can talk." The little girl was confused by why this boy would her and her siblings like this but felt like she can trust him. The others heard what he said and felt the same way, including the big sister.

Ash turned around and looked at the people with a hate filled glare. They were feeling something from this kid but didn't know what it was. He breathed and his body began to glow. His body was changing to a form that will scare all off the villagers away from here. When the light went away they were surprised to the boy look different. The thing in front of them was a short creature with spiky hair and ears. It has arms and feet with three fingers and toes. And on its face was large red eyes and a large smile on its face.

This form sent sent shivers down the spines of the villagers. They thought they were looking at a demon. Ash flew up in the sky while everyone was still watching him. Ash looked at the villagers still with that smile on his face and shouted,
"Rrrrrraaaaaaaggggghhhhh!" His scream scared the villagers out of theirs socks that they dropped all of their weapons and went back to their homes. Ash laughed that he was able to scare like that with just a scream. He'll have to remember that, in case he ever needs it. He landed on the ground and sunk into the ground. He appeared in the middle of the home of the three children. They were a little shocked at first but when they saw him turn back into himself they calmed down.

When he got in the room he saw that it was an ordinary house with just a couple of things that you would find in any house. Ash looked at the three siblings and saw that they were of two sisters and a brother. The brother had light brown hair and grey, spiky, short hair. He is dressed up in a suit. And the eldest of the siblings was dressed in a cloak dressed in a cloak but he could see she a long hair under her hood. And to the right of her was a hand that looked like it came from a demon. The arm was brown and had purple bumps all over it. Ash was about to say something but he stopped himself when he felt someone hug him. He looked down and saw the girl who was crying, hugging him.

She looked up at him with him and said, "Thanks for scaring those villagers away."

Ash rubbed her head and said, "No problem. I just did what I could."

She asked, "What's your name?"

He said, "My name is Ash."

She said, "Well, my name is Lisanna." She pointed to the boy. "This is my brother Elfman. " Ash held his hand out for a handshake and Elfman took it then Lisanna pointed to the cloaked girl. "And this is my big sister, Mirajane." She waved at him with her left hand while trying to hide her right hand. Ash saw this and decided to help.

He crouched down in front of her and said, "May I see your arm?" She tried to hide it some more so he asked her again. "Please, can I look at your arm? I won't do anything to hurt you."

She didn't want to show him her hand but felt like he could trust him so she showed her demon hand. He looked and felt strong magic coming from it. After he looked at it for a while, Ash now knows what has happened.

Ash said, "I know what happened. It seems like a take-over spell. You aren't really possessed by a demon." She gasped at that and listened as he continued. "I can imagine you'd be frightened to death by that, but it means that you possess the power of a demon."

She brought out her hand asked, "So it's a good thing?" She thought, 'I still don't want it.'

Ash saw how sad she was so he had to say something to cheer her up. He said, "Hey, don't be so sad about it. I'm sure with just a little training that arm will be gone in no time flat. So come on, bring out that smile I know that's in there." He looked and saw that she was showing a little smile on her face. "Now that's what I'm talking about. It's a beautiful smile. Now lets get out of this town and go somewhere else." He got up and walked to the door.

Elfman asked, "But where should we go?"

Ash turned around and said, "I have some ideas. Now all of you gather up your things while I wait outside." He opened the door and stood outside while waiting for siblings to gather all of their things. They came out of their home with all of their stuff packed and left the village. While they were leaving, some of the villagers were still looking at them with disgust but didn't do anything after getting a look from Ash. When they got to the peak of the village, Mira and her siblings looked at it for the last time before leaving.

They traveled with each other for a long time from place to place. They saw different places with many sites that were pretty amazing. When they were traveling they would usually see some people but whenever they saw Mira's arm they would run away. At night, Ash would teach her how to control her magic. After a couple of times of practice, she was able to make the hand disappear without any trouble. She was glad that her demon arm was gone but apart of her was still sad, she didn't say anything and everyone respected that. They all finally arrived at their destination. The name of the place is called Magnolia and it is home of a guild called Fairy Tail. When they arrived in the city, Ash suggested they join the guild to learn more magic and make some friends. Lisanna and Elfman loved the idea but Mira wasn't all for so Ash talked her into and said it may be a lot of fun. She trusted Ash's judgement and decided to join the guild. And went his separate ways with them because he said he needs some time to himself.

One Month Later

During the time Ash was in this town, he hid in the woods and started to train to get a better handle on his body. He has a good handle on it but he still wanted to fill the time. After training for awhile he decides to take a little walk into town to get his get mind flowing. While walking, he saw Mira look pretty sad about something. She was still wearing the cloak he met her in and he could sense something is wrong with her with his Emotion Eater. He walked up to her to get her attention. When he got close to her he asked, "Mira, where are you going?"

She said, "I'm leaving because I don't belong here."

Ash said, "Now you know that is not true."

She shook her head and said, "No it's true. I may have gotten rid of my demon arm. But I still am a demon and I shouldn't be here. Everyone is so nice and I know they will take good care of Lisanna and Elfman." She started to walk off again but Ash didn't let her go. He grabbed her shoulders and spun her around to face her.

Ash said, "Mira that isn't true. You're not a demon and I know my demons." He tried to cheer up but she just looked away so Ash was going to get to the point. "Look Mira if you were a demon, then why would try to protect Lisanna and Elfman when they were in trouble? A demon wouldn't do that. A demon is monster that only cares about destroying and others and you don't like that. I know you don't. I also know that you don't want to upset your siblings, because I know that they want to protect you like you have for them."

Mira was listening to what Ash is saying to her and he is right. She has been protecting her siblings ever since they've been growing up and when she got that demon arm. She also knew they would be sad if she would just up and leave them without saying goodbye but doesn't know what to do. Should she stay? Should she go? She doesn't know what to do.

Ash saw that she was really starting to think about staying and just needed one more thing to convince her. Before he could say anything he heard some footsteps coming from behind looked to see who it is. He smiled and turned back to Mira and said, "If you still don't believe me ask them yourself." She didn't understand that until he moved out of the way and showed her siblings coming towards her.

They ran up to her and Lisanna said, "Hey Mira check this out."

Elfman said, "You're not gonna believe this, but look."

They both exploded in a puff of smoke and when the smoke subsided, Ash and Mira looked at what happened.

Lisanna appeared as a cat with cat ears and tail in a cat outfit and said, "I can turn into a cat see."

Elfman appeared with a bear paw as his right hand and said, "I really do have bear hands or one at least."

Mira was surprised to see her siblings are able to do magic. Elfman said, "They taught us these spells."

Lisanna said, "We wanted to be more like you."

Elfman said, "I can only really make it work on one arm so far."

Mira was starting to tear up from all that is happening . Ash saw this and put a hand on her shoulder to make sure she's okay. She looked at his smiling face that told her he was here for her. She wiped away those tears and smiled at him and her siblings.

Lisanna said, "Cool, huh? I know you were feeling lonely before."

Elfman, "But now the three of us are just alike."

Mira just kept crying more tears at what she was hearing from her siblings. She said, "You're so sweet."

Lisanna said, "We all have the same magic now."

Elfman said, "And it's super awesome too."

Lisanna said, "Ready bro?"

Elfman said, "Oh yeah."

There was another puff of smoke and they did another take over spell. Lisanna looked like a pig while Elfman's arm turned into a giraffe's leg.

Lisanna said, "I think I messed it up. I still need a lot more practice.

Elfman had a shocked face on when he saw his hand and said, "Me too."

Mira said while wiping the tears out of her eyes, "I guess we still have some work to do before we go on any more jobs.

Elfman said, "Thank you, sis. You protected us with your power when we needed you the most. Now we can do the same for you.

Lisanna happily said, "Yeah."

Mira was happy to see her siblings happy now. She was at first scared of this power and wanted nothing to do with it. But now that all changed. Ash gave her kinds about not being a demon and saying that she should stay for her siblings. And her siblings came to her to show that magic is not bad. It can be good in its own way. All of this brought a smile to her face. Ash saw that smile and like it.

Ash said, "Hey, how about you two go practice your spells some more? Mira will join you in a little while."

They nodded ran off to practice their spells, leaving Ash and Mira alone. He looked at her and asked, "So looks like you're not leaving."

Mira giggled and said, "It looks like it"

Ash said, "Good." Mira surprised him by giving him a hug.

She said, "Thank you. If you didn't stop me, I probably would've been gone and Lisanna and Elfman would've been sad."

Ash returned the hug and said, "Don't mention it."

They got out of their hug and Mira asked if Ash wanted to join Fairy Tail. He said he would join when he gets done with a couple of things. She understood his decision and left with a smile on her face. When she was out of view, Ash dissipated with a puff of smoke.

Unknown Island

A kid Ash stepped out of a portal that disappeared with a snap of his fingers. He took a look around and saw it was mid-day and that he was on an island. He saw in front of him was a giant tower that could be seen for miles. He was near the edge of the island near the ocean. He made himself invisible to not be seen and took a look around. He saw a bunch of people chained up and other people in robes beating the chained up people. Ash recalls the place he is in. He is at the tower of Heaven. Which means that this is the place where he could find Erza and she could be the one who he felt those emotions come from. He looked around the area to see if she was around but found no trace of her. That only means that she must be in one of the prisons.

He used Kamui and phased the wall of the tower and looked in the cells of the prison. He released a few insects around the prison to look for the girl. He walked around the spiral walk way while looking into every cell. He listened to the guards that passed him, talking smugly and sounding like they are better than everyone else. Ash's blood boiled at hearing their words and wanted to destroy them for what they are saying, but he held himself back and kept on walking. Ash's insects told him that they find the person he is looking for so he went to their location and came upon another prison cell. He looked inside of the cell and took a look at the prisoners. Some of them were sleeping on the floor or just laying around while not looking at each other. His vision came up a little girl with scarlet hair and a dress that is in tatters. She was in the corner with no one around her, sobbing softly while clutching her legs to her chest with her face buried in them.

Ash saw how sad she was and saw no one was trying to help her, so he is going to help her. He phased through the bars of the cell and went to the girl's side. No one could hear him because he didn't take large footsteps that wouldn't make a sound. He made it to the sobbing girl and sat next to her. He was about to reveal himself to her but he just realized something. He isn't wearing the right outfit that is similar to the prisoners. If he shows up around these people and with his clothes, it may shock them. He silently snapped his fingers and a pair of clothes appeared on his body that were similar to one of the kids on the other side of the cell that are asleep. He turned off his invisibility spell and appeared right beside her, sitting next to her.

Ash asked, "Hey, what's wrong?"

The girl stopped crying and looked up at the one who spoke to her. She said, "I hate it here. We work so hard, it gets exhausting and they treat us like garbage. We have some time to ourselves, but it doesn't fix with us being here." She starts to shed more tears and just was about to cry some more, but Ash stopped her from doing that.

Ash said, "Hey. I know you hate it here. I hate it here too. I'm sure everyone in this place hates it too. But the one thing you should never do is give up. Giving up means that you are giving your tormentors what they want. I know that one day, there will be a time where someone will stand up against them and bring freedom and peace to all of us."

This boy was trying to cheer up this girl up and it is working. She has just met this boy and already feels something when she is around him. She feels safe around him and knows that she can trust him.

She asked, "You really think so?"

Ash said, "I know so."

She wiped away her tears from her eyes and smiled. She said, "Thank you for cheering me up."

Ash said, "No problem."

She asked, "What is your name?"

Ash said, "My name is Ash. What is you name?"

She said, "My name is Erza."

Ash said, "It's nice to meet you Erza." He looked at the window and saw that it was night time. "It seems like it is time to go to bed." He asked if Erza wanted to sleep next to him and she accepted. She scooted next to him and laid her head on his head. Ash's tail moved to Erza's waist so they could get warmer. She was surprised that he had a tail but he told it was there when he was born. She accepted that and went to asleep along with Ash.

Next Day

The next day everyone woke up in their cells and began their day. The jailers gave all of the prisoners some breakfast that wasn't all that good. All they gave them was bread and water. There was still enough food for everyone in the cells but they still shouldn't be treated this way. After having some food, the prisoners started to do their work. Everyone worked hard with all of the jailers watching their every move. Ash was doing plenty of work without any problems so he could keep track of everything that was happening. When there was a shift change, the prisoners switched jobs while others took a break and to hang out with each other or just relax. This gave Ash a chance to meet all of Erza's friends.

There were five kids that he met. One girl and four boys. Wally and Sho liked Ash because of how nice he was to them and how cool he looks. Millianna liked how nice he was as well and liked being close to him, especially while playing with his tail like a cat plays with its toys. Simon didn't like how Erza was close to Ash because he secretly had a crush on her but he still liked him for cheering her up. And the final one of the group was Jelllal. He was like the leader of the group, he became friends with Ash at an instant. Ash knew that he wasn't being controlled yet and found him to be pleasant to hang around.

When all of us went our different ways to enjoy our break, Ash became a shadow that clung to the walls of the tower with his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic to look for the other people he knew were here. He looked around for awhile and found the people he was looking for. He found five members of the Oracion Seis. When he found Macbeth, he was clutching his ears while shaking on the floor. He didn't like hearing the sound of people being tortured. Ash helped him with that by making him some headphones that could take away all of the sound, so he could relax. He thanked Ash for that and he relaxed in the corner. He then saw a girl looking out the window, wishing that she could fly out and soar in the sky like an angel. He learned that her name was Sorano and told her that she looked like an angel. She liked his compliment and he gave her a white feather he made to make her feel better. She took it and thanked for the amazing present.

Ash found Sawyer after he was thrown into a cell from trying to escape the Tower of Heaven. Ash gave him a senzu bean and all of his wounds at that moment. He then told Sawyer that he should never give up trying to escape because one day he will be free to do what he wants. Sawyer found Ash's words of wisdom inspiring and took his advice. He found Wally hanging out with his brother Richard. When he met them, he heard their stomachs growl signifying that they are hungry. He made a potato that was filled with plenty of nutrients that would fill them up. He finally met with Erik while he was playing with his snake. When Ash met him, Erik's snake slithered down his body and slithered up Ash's body and nuzzled his cheek. Erik was surprised that his snake friend liked someone other than him. Erik liked this and since his friend liked him then Erik became Ash's friend.

The day went by pretty fast and it was already night time. During nighttime, Jellal gathered everyone about an escape attempt to leave the Tower of Heaven. They needed to leave the tower and become free from all of the slavery. They asked Ash if he wanted to join in but he refused because he thought it was a little risky. They saw that they couldn't change his mind and began with their plan. While he was in the cell, Ash met an old man named Rob. He is a wizard from Fairy Tail and they became friends while they sat together. The cell door opened all of the kids came back into the cell room and Ash asked what happened.

When they proceeded with their plan, they were caught by the guards and were punished. They were only going to punish the one who was in charge of this plan. Jellal tried to take the blame for this whole thing and save everyone else. The guards didn't fall for this lie and knew the one who was in charge. It was Erza. So they took her to torture her and brought the others back to the cell room. Jellal didn't stand for this. He didn't want his friend to go through this so he planned on finding a way to her. Ash knew what he was planning and decided to join him on his mission to save Erza.

Jellal and Ash fought through a few monsters with some weapons they found to get to Erza. They found her tied up to a pole with many bruises on her face and body with her head down. Jellal untied her and Ash caught her and got a good look at her face. He gasped at what he saw. The tormentors took Erza's eye. He clutched her head to his shirt and hugged her. How could they do this? What did she do to them? What did any of the prisoners do to them? They didn't have time for this so they took Erza out of their and headed back to the cell. Ash was carrying her while Jellal was watching out for any guards.

Erza asked, "Ash. What are we suppose to do?"

Ash said, "We're gonna have to fight."

Erza asked, "We have to fight?"

While we were walking, four magic circles surrounded us and four creatures came out of the circle. They were magic soldiers. The jailers came later and found us. They took Jellal while bringing Ash and Erza back to their cell. When they got to their cell, they were thrown into the cell with weapons right beside them. Erza was still laying on the ground while still thinking about what Ash told her. The voice of Ash in her mind said, 'We're gonna have to fight.' That activated something in her mind.

*Booom*

Erza grabbed a weapon and hit both of the guards that were behind her. One guard was unconscious while the other one got up and shouted, "Mutiny!"

Simon asked, "What's gotten into you?"

Erza said, "Find a weapon. We can't escape and they're not gonna set us free. So if we want out of here we have to fight. For our lives. For our freedom!"

Everyone was in an uproar at Erza's speech and were inspired to stand up to. Every one of the prisoners each grabbed a weapon and began to attack the guards of the tower. All of the guards were beaten easily by the prisoners because every time they were put to work, it only made them stronger. Ash was taking down every guard he saw with a simple slash to the neck and bash to the head. They freed all of the prisoners and the only one left to save one was Jellal.

*Booom*

There was an explosion that got most of everyone in the crossfire. The explosion came from many of the magic soldiers that were firing magical blasts from their mouths. All of the prisoners were scared of the magic soldiers and saw that there was no way to defeat them. Erza was trying to motivate them back into the fighting spirit, but it was to no avail. One of the knocked her down on the ground while another *Booom* explosion happened and she was under some rocks.

Erza reached out with her hand and said, "Please come back. We need your help. We have to save Jellal." Someone appeared in front of her and took her hand. It was Ash. He helped her out of the rubble that was on top of her.

Ash said, "We will get Jellal back."

She smiled that he was there for her. Right behind them, the magic soldiers were preparing for another attack.

Sho said, "Watch out."

Wally shouted, "Erza! Ash!"

The soldiers fired their blasts at Ash and Erza. Erza closed her eye while Ash got in front of her to protect her. There was a loud *Booom* explosion right where Ash and Erza were. They opened their eyes and saw they were okay. Ash knew he would be okay because of his immunity to magic and he encased Erza in his Sound Armor but he didn't feel anything. They looked in front of them and saw grandpa Rob was in front of them in a protecting position.

Erza said, "Grandpa Rob!"

Rob said, "My magic may not be as strong as it once was, but it's still enough to protect my friends. I will not let you take the lives of the innocent."

He spread his magic around and deflected their attacks back at them. There was a *Booom* that destroyed the area.

Wally said, "Whoa. Did you see that?"

Sho said, "He deflected their magic back."

Grandpa Rob got on his knees after casting that spell. He was exhausted from magic overdoes. Ash and Erza got to his sides and checked on him.

Erza asked, "Are you alright?"

Rob said, "Yes. I may be a decrepit old man, but deep down I still got some fight left in me. As a wizard my magic has always been intertwined with the very essence of my life. But I didn't realize how much so until I lost it. And soon found myself in this sorry. state." He slowly got to his feet. "Don't like me. You two have so much potential. Don't let it go to waste."

Erza said, "Grandpa...."

Rob stood back up on his two feet and took all of the attacks that were aimed at him. He didn't move or budge from that spot because he knew that it was the right thing to do. The soldiers kept on firing and didn't want to stop until to destroy him. They held back and saw the old man is still standing in the same position.

Rob said, "Your beautiful smile was the only thing that kept me going while I've been stuck in this place."

Erza asked, "You're hurt aren't you?"

Rob said, "Remember this, your freedom lies in your heart child. Follow your heart and your dream of becoming a wizard will come true." Rob was stopping all of the attacks that were thrown at him. His body was breaking until *Crackle* it was destroying into pieces.

Erza was thrown back by the explosion but Ash caught her. She screamed, "Grandpa Rob. No!!!!!!"

Wally said, "Erza. Ash. We gotta retreat. Hurry up."

She was still looking at the ground that had Rob's bracelet on it. She slowly aimed her head down at the ground while she quietly sobbed to the death of her friend. Ash put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Ash was angry that these soldiers killed a friends of his and was about to get them but something else happened.

Erza screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" A magic circle appeared right under her. There was a bright light that shined over the area. All of the weapons that were on the ground were levitated on the ground. Erza used her magic to levitate all of the weapons of her friends. She sent all of the weapons of the weapons to the soldiers. They didn't have enough time to react to the little girl's attack and were hit by all of the weapons. All of the jailers were skewered by the weapons and now they were laying on the ground. Ash was impressed of Erza's magical capabilities at such a young age. He grabbed her hand and helped her up.

Sho said, "Wow. She used magic."

Erza thought, 'You knew it grandpa. You knew it all along that I had this power. And now I can use it to save my friends.' Erza picked up the sword that was right beside her and said, "We have to fight for our freedom! Follow me!"

The prisoners were inspired again by Erza's resolve and joined her in the fight. The fight between the prisoners and the slavers went on for a long time. While they were fighting, Erza went into the tower to look for Jellal while the others took care of everyone else. Ash used Knocking on any of the slavers who came at him and left them to the others. When the last of the slavers were beat, the prisoners cheered that they were finally freed from their slavery. Wally and the others found a few boats and gathered everyone on them while waiting for Erza, Jellal, and Ash.

When everyone left the area of the battle, Ash looked around the area to find anything that might be useful to him. The slavers didn't have anything on them that could he needed. While he was talking there was a *Boom* a small explosion at the top of a wall. Ash saw something falling out of it and saw it was a person falling. He used Soru to dash to the person and caught them before they hit the ground. He saw who the person it was and it was Erza.

Ash asked, "Erza. Are you alright?"

Erza nodded, "Yes I am. Thanks for catching me."

Ash said, "No problem." He set her down on the ground so she could stand. "Who did this to you?"

Erza was about to say something but she was interrupted by a voice that said, "I did it." Ash looked at the hole where the voice came from. The dust settled and revealed the person who spoke. The person who threw Erza through the wall was Jellal. There was something different about him though. He had a smile on his face like if he was a mad man and his eyes were no different. Ash knew that he was being controlled to act like this.

Jellal said, "You're free to leave Erza. And since you're here as well Ash, you can leave too. I'm not going to stop you two. You'll have to go alone."

Erza asked, "What do you mean?"

Jellal said, "There's no way I can finish the tower's construction to myself. So I'm going to keep the others here. But don't worry, I won't mistreat them. I'll make sure everyone is fed and clothed. And they get plenty of rest between their shifts. I'm sure Zeref would prefer I build more hatred by ruling with an iron fist. But weak and unhappy people don't make good workers."

Erza said, "They're not going to agree to that. Everybody is on the boats ready to go. They're just waiting for us to join them. There's no way you can convince them to stay here and work for you now."

Jellal said, "I don't think I'll have any problem with convincing them. Because I'm going to give them a purpose. Once they learn of Zeref's power, they'll happily work to resurrect him."

Erza said, "But none of them would willingly become a sacrifice."

Jellal said, "It doesn't matter. Zeref told me sacrifices aren't necessary. He's such a benevolent god, isn't he?"

Erza said, "Please Jellal. You have to come to you're senses."

Jellal activated a spell that constricted Erza with red markings on her. He said, "I could say the same thing about you. I don't need you anymore. But since you took care of the fools who were in my way, I'll let you live. Enjoy you're new found freedom, but I have some new found rules for you."

Erza said, "I can't breathe."

Ash didn't like hearing any of this. Jellal is talking like a mad man and following the orders a person who has done some evil things in the past. Jellal is even willing to kill his friends to resurrect his master and he doesn't even care. When he saw Jellal using magic to hurt Erza that crossed a line. Ash used Nullification Magic to nullify Jellal's magic spell. He caught Erza and checked on her and found she was fine. He looked at Jellal who had a shocked expression on his face. It changed after a few seconds to a wicked smile.

Jellal said, "I see that you've been holding out on me, Ash. I can see you have tremendous skills to learn magic. Why don't you join me in my play?

Ash shook his head and said, "No way. I wouldn't join someone who treats their friends that way."

Jellal said, "Fine. Since you helped in the extinction of our jailers, you're free to go too. Here are the rules from the both of you. I demand that you never tell anyone of this place. If the government found out about the Tower of Heaven, I'd be in serious trouble. If word were to get out, then I'd have no choice but to destroy the tower and everyone inside it. You two are forbidden from ever returning here again. Set one foot on this land and I'll kill your friends. I figure Sho would be the first to go."

Erza gasped and said, "No. You wouldn't."

Jellal shouted, "One false move and your friends will die. I'll enjoy true freedom while you two suffer, burdened by your guilt. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Erza broke down crying after the threat that her once true friend just made. Ash knew they had to get out of their so he picked Erza up and flew into the sky. He was looking at Jellal and knew one the he will pay for making Erza cry. He summoned his Ki on his body and flew into the direction of civilization. Jellal walked off and started on the beginning of his plan to resurrect Zeref.

Beach

It was night time on a beach. Ash landed on the sand and made his Ki disappear. He slowly sat on the sand and held onto Erza who was asleep in his arms. While Ash was flying in the air, she kept crying about what Jellal said and what he'd do if they came back to the island. Ash talked to her and told her that Jellal has become mad and should be left alone for now. He also told her that their friends will be safe and if they see him they should take care of him. She understood his reasoning and liked that he calmed her down and fell asleep. While Erza was asleep, Ash wanted to work on her so that she can feel better.

Ash put his hand on Erza and encased her in a red membrane. He healed all of her muscles and the bruises on all of her bodies. The next thing he did was work on her eye that was taken away from her. He first cut off her nerves so she wouldn't feel any pain during the operation. He formed an eyeball that connected to the veins in her head so she can see and since he made it she will be resistant to eye magic in the future that will help. After he was done he connected her nerves and took back the red membrane into his hand and took a look at her healed body. He made a blanket appear on her so she can be warm during the night. He fell asleep and knew what he is going to do the next day.

Next Day

Erza woke up feeling really great. Something about her felt different and she didn't know what it was. Erza looked around and found that she was on a beach. She looked around to find Ash to see where he was and found him with a fish. He is cooking it over a fire. She walked to him and now knows what is different about her. She felt her face and didn't feel the eye patch over her eye. She closed her other eye and found that the eye that was taken from her is back. She was confused about this and wondered about how her eye is back. Ash knew what she was thinking and told her that he gave her back her eye. She didn't understand that but he told her it was one of his abilities.

She was grateful that he gave her eye back to her and she hugged him to thank him. After a few seconds of their embrace, they ate the fish that Ash was cooking. They ate their fill of the fish, leaving only bones on the sand. Erza was wondering what they were going to do next. Ash told her that they were going to go to the guild that grandpa Rob was apart of. Erza liked that decision and agreed with his plan. So they got up and left to head to Fairy Tail.

Magnolia

They traveled a long way but eventually found the wizard guild, Fairy Tail. They asked the residents of the town for directions to the guild and found the place. They were standing in front of the guild and Erza was about to walk in but Ash said something that she wasn't going to like.

Ash said, "Erza. I can't join the guild right now."

Erza asked, "What?! Why?!"

Ash said, "I can't join it right now, but you should join."

Erza said, "But I don't want to join without you."

Ash said, "Erza. I know you want me to join, but I have a few things to do and after I'm done I will join you. And when we see each other again, you can give me a big hug."

Erza wanted to Ash to join so they could enjoy their time together but she somehow knew that they were going to see each other again by his words. She asked, "You promise?"

Ash nodded and said, "I promise."

Erza hugged him for one final time and he hugged her back. They let go of each other and Erza walked into the Fairy Tail guild hall. When the doors closed Ash disappeared in cloud of smoke.

Magnolia

A portal opened and Ash popped out of it. He snapped his fingers and closed the portal. He looked and saw he was in an ally of Magnolia. He walked out and took a look around the area. It was in the middle of the day and the sun was setting in the sky. There were a few people around the area while others went into their homes. He enjoyed the quiet of the area and felt it to be serene.

He was walking down the street and saw a boy by the river. This boy had short, spiky, black hair. He wore a white jacket and under it was a dark blue shirt. He also wore a pair of black pants. He was just standing right by the river and staring at the sun. Ash saw a single tear drop from his face, meaning that this boy must've just been crying. Ash walked to the boy to see what's wrong.

Ash said, "Hey. Is something wrong?"

The boy's body became stiff for a second and turned around to see who talked to him. He said, "Nothing's wrong. Leave me alone."

Ash was confused at his hostility and said, "I was just trying to figure out if something is wrong."

He asked, "Why do you care?"

Ash said, "Because I don't like seeing a person crying when there was something I could do to help. Could you please tell me what's wrong?"

This boy didn't know who this other boy was but for some reason, he felt like he could trust him. The boy said, "It's about my master."

Ash was confused about this. Ash asked, "Master? You mean the one who taught you magic?"

He nodded. He said, "Yes. Her name was Ur. She taught me how to use ice make magic."

Ash knows that name is realizes who he is talking to. He is talking to Gray Fullbuster. And what he is talking about is the defeat of Deliora. He continued to listen and asked, "What happened to her?"

He started shaking from the question that was asked. It was hard for him to answer this question, but he mustered the energy to say something. He said, "This was a demon named Deliora that destroyed in its path and didn't care who go in its way. Deliora killed my parents and I wanted to do everything I could to kill it. One day, I heard about the location of Deliora and ran off to challenge it. I collapsed from battling and found Ur facing against Deliora with a leg she made out of ice. She saw there was no way to beat it so she had to iced shell."

Ash asked, "That's the spell that turns the users body into into an ice prison for the target, right?"

He nodded and said with small tears coming from his eyes, "Yes. It was my fault that she sacrificed herself. If I had just listened to her and stayed, then she wouldn't have to use the ice shell on Deliora. It's all my fault she's gone." He shed many tears for the loss of his master. He blames himself for what for his actions and doesn't know what to do take away this guilt. He felt a hand on his shoulder and looked to see whose hand it was. The hand belonged to Ash.

Ash said, "I know what's it's like to lose someone close to you."

Gray was confused. He asked, "What do you mean?"

Ash sighed and said, "A long time ago, my mother and sister were killed. I couldn't do anything about it and it hurt bad. But I know that they wouldn't want me to cry about it right now. They would want me to carry on the way they would want me to. I'm also sure that's what your master wanted you to do when she used her spell."

Gray was listening to his words and found them to make sense. Ur treated him and Leon like if we were her own children. She watched over us and even taught us magic. She wouldn't want him to blame himself for the choice she made to save her pupils. He wiped away his tears and smiled because of Ash's kind words to him. He said, "Thanks for the help."

Ash said, "No problem. My name's Ash by the way." He brought out his hand and waited for the boy to shake it.

The boy took the hand and shook it. The boy said, "My name's Gray. Gray Fullbuster."

They shook each others hand which signified they became friends. Ash retracted his hand and noticed that sun has set and the moon is shining in the sky. He said, "It looks like it's getting late. I'll see you later, Gray." Ash walked up the small hill and went down the road.

Gray went up the hill and went in the opposite direction. He said, "See yah."

Ash looked behind and saw that Gray was out of sight. He looked and made sure no one was around before he *Poof* poofed out of the area.

Magnolia Park

Ash appeared right out of a portal that closed behind him. He was standing right under a tall tree and around him were benches and stairs that lead into the town of Magnolia. Ash walked around the park and found the place to be pretty relaxing. He took a look around and found it to be empty. Except for one girl that was sitting on a bench with her head down. This girl has a long orange dress on and has light brown hair that's tied up into a ponytail.

He looked at her and felt the emotions coming from her. These emotions were ones of sadness and he knew that he had to help her. He walked over to her and sat next to the girl. He asked, "Hey. Are you okay?"

She looked up at the person who spoke to her. She had a sad expression on her face and said, "I'm okay."

Ash asked, "Are you sure? You look really sad. If you need someone to talk to, I'm all ears."

This girl didn't know this boy but felt that he really was worried about her and was concerned. He may be able to help her with her problem. She took a few breaths and asked, "Can you keep a secret?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yes. I can keep a secret."

She asked, "Do you promise?"

Ash said, "I promise."

She could feel like she could believe him so she told him her secret. She asked, "Do you know about the wizard guild, Fairy Tail?"

Ash nodded, "Yeah. I know about it."

She asked, "And do you know about Gildarts Clive?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yeah. He's the S-Class wizard of Fairy Tail."

She took a couple of breaths and said, "Well..... Gildarts is my dad."

That piece of information shocked him. She is Gildarts' daughter! Then something else hit that made him remember something. This girl is Cana Alberona. He asked, "You're Girldarts' daughter. Does he know?"

She shook her head and said, "No. I only heard about him after my mother passed away. I went to Fairy Tail because I heard he was a member but when I saw him, I was just too intimidated tell him I was his daughter. I later joined Fairy Tail to work up the nerve to tell him the truth but it just becomes more and more difficult. I just don't know what to do anymore." She was feeling like giving up on telling him the truth and leave so she wouldn't have to see him. She felt something on her shoulder and saw the boy put a hand on her shoulder.

Ash said, "You shouldn't give up after a couple of tries of telling him who you are. You got to keep trying and never give up. If you give up then you may regret it later in life."

She asked, "What am I suppose to do then?"

Ash said, "Just keep trying in your own way. I know one day you will tell him and he will be proud to have you as a daughter. And if you ever feel like you need to be at his level then try to become an S-Class wizard. Work heard and one day you will tell him the truth when you feel ready."

She listened to him and found his advice to be good. She could become an S-Class wizard and be at the same level as Gildarts. Even if she doesn't become on, she should still try to tell him whenever he comes by the guild from one of his jobs. The girl looked at Ash with a happy expression. She said, "Thanks for cheering me up."

Ash said, "No problem."

She asked, "Who are you by the way?"

Ash said, "My name's Ash."

She said, "My name's Cana." She looked up in the sky and saw the sun was setting. She said, "Well I gotta get home."

Ash got up from the bench and said, "Yeah. See you around."

Cana ran up to Ash and gave him a hug. Ash softly hugged her back. She said, "Thanks for saying all of those things to me."

Ash said, "No problem."

They broke their embrace and Cana left the park and headed home. Ash was happy that he could make her feel better when he felt down. When he saw that no one was around, Ash disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Unknown Mansion

A portal opened and Ash came out of it. The portal closed and he took a look around. He saw he was in some kind of garden that was right behind a large mansion. There were plenty of bushes and shrubs that were made into animals and tables that had plenty of chairs. At one of the tables was a little girl with long blonde hair in a pink dress. She had a sad expression on her face while looking at the table. Ash didn't like this so he walked up to the table and sat right across from her.

Ash asked, "Are you okay?

The girl looked up at the strange boy that sat right across from her. She was confused at the appearance of him. She asked, "Who are you?"

Ash said, "My name is Ash. Who are you?"

The girl wiped away some tears that were on her face to look a little better. She said with a weak smile, "My name is Lucy Heartfilia."

Ash was shocked at the name he heard from the girl. This is the girl that becomes a great wizard and a member of the Fairy Tail guild. Since he knows who this is, Ash knows why she must be sad. She must have just lost her mom and she's getting out her emotions. Ash asked, "Is something wrong?"

She looked down and still had that sad expression on her face. He asked again, "Can you tell me what's wrong? Maybe I could help." The girl considered his request on asking about her condition and found it to be very kind. She has been feeling very sad and doesn't have anyone to talk to.

She looked up to his concerned face and said, "I just lost my mother."

Ash said, "I'm so sorry."

She gave a weak smile and said, "Thank you. You're the only one who's asked me how I've been feeling."

Ash was confused about this. What about her dad. He asked, "What about your father? Can't you talk to him about all of this?"

Lucy shook her head and said, "He doesn't care about me. All he cares about is his money and business. I try to talk to him but he just pushes me away." Her eyes began to well up with tears. She was feeling heartbroken at the lose of her mom and the neglection that her father has given her. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she her something else.

Ash said, "Hey, I know everything is going to be okay." She looks up to him and saw that he had a smile on his face. "And do you know why?" She shook her head and waited for his answer. He said, "He you ever heard the saying 'money never buys you happiness'?" She shook her head. He said, "Well, that expression is what helps here. You're father is focused on business and wants to gain more money to increase his power. He cares about and thinks it will make him happy but not everyone sees it that way. You should do things that will make you happy and not let your father be on the way of anything. And when you get old enough to be on your own, you should leave."

Lucy asked, "If I leave, where would I go?"

Ash said, "You could go traveling around the world. You could meet new people and have great adventures. You could even become a wizard and join a guild. The only thing that matters is that you will be in control of your life. And until then, try to enjoy your time here."

The girl listened to the boy and found him to be right. No matter how much money Lucy had, she wasn't happy. She could leave this place when she becomes and become a great wizard. She could even join a guild where she could make new friends, learn new things, and get fun jobs.

She said, "Thanks for the advice, Ash. I'll take it to heart."

Ash said, "No problem. I love helping those in need."

Lucy got off of her chair and went over to Ash. She hugged him as thanks for cheering her up. He hugged her back softly. When they were done, Lucy said goodbye to Ash and went back into her home. When Ash was all alone, he poofed out of existence.

Magnolia Park

A portal opened up and another clone of Ash came out of it. He snapped his fingers and closed the portal behind him. He looked around and found himself in Magnolia Park again. He was standing behind the tall tree and took a look around at his current location. His vision came upon a small boy on a bench in the park. He wore a long sleeved red shirt and yellow shorts. He has short, spikey, pink hair. What caught Ash's attention was the scarf that was around the boy's neck. The scarf was long and its color was white with lines on it that made it looked like the scales of a reptile. He knew that only one person could have that scarf. That boy on the bench is Natsu Dragneel. He had a sad expression on his face which meant that he was feeling down. Ash didn't like this so he walked up to him and sat next to the boy.

Ash asked, "Are you okay?"

The boy looked at Ash with a sad face and said, "No."

Ash asked, "Could you tell me what's wrong?"

The boy seemed to take deep breaths after Ash asked that. He must need a few seconds to compose himself before saying anything, so Ash waited until he was ready. After a couple of seconds, the boy said, "It's about my dad."

Ash asked, "Who's your dad?

The boy said, "My dad is a dragon. His name is Igneel."

Ash said, "Really? That's interesting, but why are you so sad?"

He said, "Well, I've been looking for him ever since he left me, but I don't know where to look. Sometimes I feel like I'll never see him again." This boy was feeling sad about not finding the one being that means everything to him. He was feeling like he may never see him ever again. He came out of thoughts after what he heard next.

Ash said, "I know you'll see him again and do you know why?" The boy looked up at him and shook his head. Ash said, "Because I'm a dragon slayer too." He was surprised that Ash was a dragon slayer like him. He continued, "I am a dragon slayer of many different types of styles, especially fire dragon slayer magic." The boy's eyes widen at that and was about to ask him a question, but Ash beat him to it. He said, "I know what you're going to and no. I haven't seen Igneel. I've only met him once." The boy was saddened by that but listened after what he heard next. Ash continued, "I do that he wouldn't want you to feel sad because of him. He would want you to keep yourself and be the person he raised you to be. And one day you will see him again and you'll know his reasons for leaving."

The boy took his words to heart and found them uplifting. Igneel raised him to be a strong person. If he was hear he wouldn't like seeing him sad. He would want him to push forward and look back on the happier times. He looked back up with a smile and turned his attention towards Ash. He said, "You're right. I shouldn't be sad, but keep moving forward and hope that someday see him some day."

Ash nodded and said, "That's right."

The boy asked, "Who are you by the way?"

Ash said, "My name's Ash."

The boy said, "My name's Natsu Dragneel."

Ash said, "It's nice to meet you."

The sun was starting to set in the distance which signified that night time was coming. Natsu got up from the bench and thanked Ash for his advice. He turned around and headed out of the park, towards his home. When Natsu left he enjoyed the night sky and gazed up at the stars. After a little while, Ash dissipated and was gone.

Magnolia Park

A portal opened up and Ash came out of it, but something was this about this Ash. He was in his adult form. He looked like this because he felt the time in that portal was farther than the last ones. He looked around and saw he was again in Magnolia Park. Unlike the last times though, it was day time instead of in the afternoon. He walked around the park and saw that it looked great in the day like the night. He took a look around and saw a women on a bench that looked very sad. The women had pale white skin and blue hair that ended in curls. She had a blue hat on her head and a long blue dress that shows off her legs. On her leg is an emblem that Ash recognized. It was the emblem for the Fairy Tail guild, which means she's a member. He saw that she had a sad look on her face so he walked over to see what is wrong.

Ash took a seat next to her and asked, "Hey, is everything okay?"

The women looked at the stranger person who was concerned for her. She said, "Yes. I'm fine."

He could tell that she was lying so he tried again. He said, "I can tell that you are very sad. You can tell me. Maybe I could help."

The woman could tell that this person was really concerned about her. He was asking if she was alright and it felt very nice. She thought about it and thought that maybe this person could help her with her problem.

She sighed and asked, "Have you heard of the Phantom Troupe guild?"

Ash heard what she asked and thought about it. The name of that guild rang a few bells. The gears in his head were turning and the thought came to him. He said, "Yeah. Wasn't it the guild that attacked another guild?"

She nodded her head and said, "Yes. And I was a member of that guild."

Ash raised a brow at that. He said, "Really? A beautiful women like yourself in a guild like that, impossible."

The women blushed at his compliment of her. She knew that he was trying to cheer her up with a compliment and it was working. She said, "Thank you, but it is true. I helped in destroying a guild.

Ash asked, "So, what's the problem?"

She said, "Well after the aftermath of the fight, I joined the guild that we were attacking and I finally felt happy to be in the guild. But while in the guild, I feel like I'm not welcome there because...." She continued to speak but Ash interjected.

Ash said, "You're guild attacked their and you feel some of you guildmates might not like you?" She nodded and looked at the ground. She felt as if no one wanted her around at the guild. She thought that they might hate her for everything that their guild may hate her. She was brought out of her thoughts at the next thing she heard.

Ash said, "I don't think that your guild feels the way they think you do."

The woman looked at him in confusion. She asked, "What do you mean?"

Ash said, "Think about it. They let you join their guild because they knew you were not evil. The guild master wouldn't let anyone who would do harm to their guild join. Your guild master let you because they know that you're actually trying to turn a new leaf and become a good person. And I'm pretty sure there are some people in your guild that think you are a good person and will stand by you. The rest of the guild will soon see what your friends see in you and you will become friends with them."

She listening to everything that this man was saying and found it to be true. She has made many friends that trust that she would never do anything bad to them. The guild master wouldn't have let her join the guild if he felt that she would want to cause anyone in the guild harm.

She looked back at him and said, "You're right. Thank you for those kind words Mr...?"

Ash said, "No problem. I'm happy to help and none of that mister stuff. My name is Ash and I'm only eighteen."

She was shocked to hear that. She said, "You're eighteen and that tall?

Ash chuckled and said, "Yes I am."

She composed herself and said, "Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you."

Ash waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I get it all of the time. I'm used to it."

She nodded and said, "Okay. My name is Juvia and I have to thank you again all of those kind words you said to me."

Ash said, "I'm just glad I could help."

Juvia just had a thought and asked, "Ash, will you be here tomorrow?"

Ash raised a brow at her question. Ash asked, "I could be. Why?"

Juvia said, "Well, tomorrow is when the town of Magnolia has a celebration and Fairy Tail is taking part in the parade. I was wondering if you could come and watch."

Ash thought about it for a minute. He remembered that the Fantasia parade is a spectacle that would be a great sight to see. They will be many different floats that will be very creative depending on who is riding on them. He also remembered that before the celebration starts there is another event that will occur. That event is Laxus trying to take over Fairy Tail by having its members fight each other. Ash thought that it would be a good idea to be there in case anyone may get hurt and he wants to see the parade.

Ash looked back at Juvia and said, "I would love to come to the celebration. Especially to see you in it."

Juvia's cheeks became red at his compliment again. A thought came to her mind and she asked, "How will I find you in that large crowd?"

Ash thought about that and got a great idea. He snapped his fingers and a mask appeared in his hands. This mask was white with three rings that looked like it was an eye.

Ash said, "I'll just wear this mask and when you look for me, you'll to look for this mask."

Juvia thought that this was a wonderful idea and told him that she will look for him while he wears that mask. She got up from the bench and said, "I must be going and thank you again for cheering me up." She leaned down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He blushed a little and Juvia giggled by his reaction. She walked off while Ash was still sitting there. Ash came out of it and shook his head. He said, "Man. That was a surprise." He got up and put the mask on his head. He walked through the town and waited for tomorrow's events to occur.

Next Day

The day of the battle of Fairy Tail occurred like it was suppose to. All of the male members of Fairy Tail fought each other because many of the female members were turned to stone. When the numbers were dwindled down to the members that couldn't leave the guild they almost gave up hope. Not until Erza was freed from her stone imprisonment thanks to the eye that Ash gave her. When all of the members of Fairy Tail were attacking all of the Lightning lacrimi, some of them didn't notice that there were a few that weren't destroyed but Ash took care of that. He fired a couple of Ki blasts at the lightning lacrimi. When they were destroyed, lightning struck Ash but he didn't feel because of his immunity to magic and he ate the lightning to get a little energy boost.

The rest of the event went on as planned and Laxus was defeated by Natsu. He was later expelled from the guild. The Fantasia parade went on as planned and everyone was enjoying the magic that Fairy Tail presented. Ash was standing within the crowd and was amazed by the magic abilities of all of the Fairy Tail members. He looked at each float and found each one to be very creative. He the next and the person he knew was looking for him. Juvia was coming up on a float with a beautiful dress standing next to Gray Fullbust in a royal costume. While he was waving at the crowd, Juvia was looking for the one who cheered her up. Her vision came up a person in the back of the crowd with a familiar mask. She waves at him and he waves back. He uses Telekinesis to send a rose with a note tied to it her way. She caught and looked back at the one who sent the rose to her but only saw a puff of smoke at the spot he was standing. She looked around but couldn't find him, so she looked at the note to see what it says.

Until we meet again.

She found the note to be really kind and found the rose to be very romantic. Her cheeks turned red and she thought, 'Until we meet again, my love.'

Unknown Island

A portal opened up and another adult Ash appeared out of it. He closed it and took the lay of the land. He looked around and saw that he was in some kind of a forest. There were plenty of trees and rocks around him. He could hear the ocean with his Superhuman Hearing that told him he is on an island. He looked around and saw that there was a tree that towered over the entire island. He recognised this tree as the Tenrou tree which means he is on Tenrou island. He looked around the place and took in all of the beauty of the place before taking a walk around the place.

He was walking through the forest and saw all of the sight along the way. He could feel the magic of this island flow all around him. It was the magic that Fairy Tail members possess that flows through his bodies from their emblems. While he was walking he put on his mask so no one around would recognize him. He looked around and saw little animals coming out from behind the trees and came towards him. Ash crouched down and scratched them behind the ears. They liked that and purred like cats. They found it to be relaxing and it was nice to take a break and relax.

*Booooom*

They was a huge explosion that scared the little animals away. Ash looked ahead of him to see a giant dust cloud a few miles away from his current location. He had an idea what that explosion was and went to that location to confirm his theory. He used shadow's speed ability and got there in only a few seconds. He was a couple of meters away from the and took a look around. He saw in front were members of Fairy Tail. They were the ones that came to this island with a chance of one of them to become an S-Class wizard. They were injured and had bandages that covered their bodies. Ash looked up in the sky and saw the dragon slayers that are apart of Fairy Tail being carried by their exceed partners. Ash looked to where all of them were looking and saw something come out of the massive dust cloud.

It is a beast with an entire upper body covered in black, round, scales, which, in turn, are decorated by spiraling, blue markings. Its lower body, specifically its chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are gray in color, and appear to be rather smooth. Its eyes are white and beady, and its head is round and blunt with four, large, elongated plates extending backward. Its mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth, and, attached to its chin, is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. Its large wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird's. The scales disappear at the end of its tail, which, in itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape. It is the black dragon, Acnologia.

That is the ancienct dragon Acnologia that killed many dragons and doesn't care who gets in its path. The Fairy Tail members were befuddled that three dragon slayer breath attacks didn't even scratch him. Acnologia was slowly walking to the Fairy Tail members to it can kill them. Ash was confused by this because after it was hit with the three breath attacks, it should've flown into the sky fired its own breath attack. The Fairy Tail members were so scared that they couldn't move. When the black dragon was right above the wizards, it slowly raised its claw like hand, ready to kill them. Ash saw this attack coming and got an idea of what to do.

The Fairy Tail wizards were looking at the dragon coming towards with a killing intent. They were fighting with their most strongest wizards but they couldn't even scratch it. And even with three dragons slayers with them, Acnologia didn't even feel like it felt any pain. The dragon was now over them and saw that it raised its claw like hand above its head. The wizards closed their eyes and waited for their demise. But it never came. Why haven't they been hurt? They look at at Acnologia and were shocked at what they saw. The black dragon was struggling to move its claw like something was stopping its movement. They looked down and saw someone holding onto the dragon's arm keeping it from hitting the wizards. How could someone stop something as strong as Acnologia?

Before the dragon could bring down its claw, Ash dashed right under Acnologia's pit and grabbed its arm to stop it. It wasn't that hard for him to stop the dragon. All Ash had to do was power up his base for to 100% and stopping someone like this thing is very simple. He could feel that dragon resisting but he didn't let go of its arm. Ash looked at Acnologia's scales through his masks and saw they were very tough. To be able to withstand attacks from many powerful wizards including three dragon slayers is impressive. He got a great idea and knew just what to do about it. He planted his feet on Acnologia's body and reached under the arm that connected the arm and the body. He pulled the arm with his strength while keeping the claw from getting to the wizards.

*Keeeeerrrrrriiiiiiiiippppppp*

"Rrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Acnologia roared in pain when its whole arm was ripped off. The wizards were shocked to see a being was able to rip off the arm of a powerful creature. To Ash, this creature was nothing. Ash threw the arm to the side for and got ready for his next move. He took off his mask and dropped it on the ground right next him. He did some hand signs and said, Shadow Clone Jutsu and there was a puff of smoke. When the dust cleared they saw that there were thirteen of the person who stopped Acnologia's attack. He looked back at the dragon and saw that it was backing up with the pain of losing its arm. Ash powered up and so did the clones. Some of them had different magical energies around him. They flew up in the sky and look at the dragon. The others looked at them to see what they were going to do.

One clone said, "Fire Dragon"

One clone said, "Iron Dragon"

One clone said, "Sky Dragon"

One clone said, "Lightning Dragon"

One clone said, "Poison Dragon"

One clone said, "White Dragon"

One clone said, "Shadow Dragon"

One clone said, "Cavern Dragon"

One clone said, "Sea King Dragon"

One clone said, "Gale Dragon"

One clone said, "Lightning Flame Dragon

One clone said, "Iron Shadow Dragon"

One clone said, "White Shadow Dragon"

All of them shouted, Rrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

All of them sent breaths attacks that were way stronger than the ones that the other three dragon slayers sent at him. The breath attacks collided into one giant attack. The attack *Boom* hit the dragon in the face then covered its whole body. It tried to withstand the attack but it was too strong. The attack covered its whole body and it was experiencing pain. The attack made many cuts all across its body that were pretty deep. He couldn't hold on anymore and *Throoom* was launched off of the island and into the water. It made a giant *Splash* splash that made a couple of waves. After the dragon was in the water, Ash and the clones floated down on the ground and took a few breaths. Ash's clones disappeared in a puff of smoke, he then used his Telekinesis to bring his mask back. He put it on and went on with his next plan.

Everyone was staring at the stranger with wide eyes and were shocked at what he just did. He first tore off the arm of the black dragon like it was nothing. Then he did multiple breath attacks that would seem that it did incredible damage on Acnologia. And finally he was able to push Acnologia back with so much force that it barely looked like it could stand back up. They saw the one in the mask walk towards the dismembered arm that he tore off of Acnologia. They stood there and waited to see what he was going to do.

Ash was standing right beside the arm that he tore off Acnologia and he was impressed with it. He was very durable and could withstand any attack like a head fire breath from a full grown dragon. He got an idea that he could use for the girls that will help them while he works on their Gourmet Cells. He put his hands on the severed dragon arm and everyone gasped when then saw red tendrils come out of his hands. The tendrils come out of his hands and absorbed the arm. He absorbed the whole arm and any of the blood that was on the sand. When the arm was absorbed, Ash pulled back all of his tendrils and took a look at his new skills.

Upgraded God skin
His skin has been been enhanced that is stronger than steel

Body Durability
The durability of his body has been increased. It means that he take more damage and not even feel it.

Dragon Strength
The blood of the black dragon has greatly expanded his strength.

The Black Dragon

Space Between Time
A magical dimension deviated from the power of "nothingness". Within the Space Between Time lies another dimension. Ash is able to go into that dimension and stay there as long as he wants.

He was impressed with all of the new abilities he acquired. The new move that he got will definitely be useful when going up against armies. And the time spell will be useful if he wants to train in a new environment. He snapped his fingers and sent a bunch of Acnologia scales to his room in his home that he will use later for his next project. After he learned about all of his new skills, he did some stretches to get some knots out and started to think about what to do now. Ash knows that these wizards have to be sent seven years into the future and Acnologia has to be the cause of it. He needs to check and make sure if Acnologia is really dead. Ash was done with his stretches and was about to check on it when he felt something. He looked and saw all of the wizards looking at him and wondering what he was going to do. Ash saw all of them and saw they have some injuries that should be healed. He got an idea and reached into his coat pocket. He pulled out what looked like a stone with weird writing on it.

He threw the orb into the air and when it was above them, it burst into a giant light that covered all of the wizards. They were worried that the light was going to hurt him, but they were wrong. The light was actually healing all of their wounds. The orb that Ash threw was called an incantation orb. The incantation orb activated a spell that heals all wounds at a fast pace. The spell used on them was called Hyper Recovery Spell.

While the spell was healing all of their wounds, Ash walked to the edge of the beach and looked at the spot that Acnologia landed. He saw pools of blood in the water and saw couple of ripples surrounding them. He thought of a way to get a closer look and came up with an idea. He crossed his arm and said, Doce Fleur and twelve hands bloomed out of the ground. They stacked on each other until they were in the ocean. Ash then activated Ojos Fleur and an eye appeared on the last hand. The hand moved around to get a better look at the area. The eye caught a glimpse of the dragon and saw that it was still breathing. It saw that the dragon was slowly moving to stand back up. It was also inhaling a lot of water which means that it is planning for a breath attack. Ash recalled the hands back and thought about what to do. He racked his brain for a few seconds and got an idea. He looked at the wizards and saw all of their wounds were healed. He decided it was time to introduce himself to them. The wizards saw the stranger walking towards and wonder what he was going to do.

Ash walked in front of the wizards and looked at all of them. He was quite impressed by all of them and how they never gave up on the fight. While looking at them, one of the wizards looked at him and knew they saw him before from the mask he wears. Ash said from behind his mask, "I hope all of you are okay."

They listened to the sound of his voice and it sounded genuine. None of them moved because they didn't know what to do. The first one of them to do anything was Erza. She walked to the strange person in her Heart Kreaz Armor with a smile on her face. She said, "We are all fine. I want to thank you for saving us and healing all of us."

Ash said, "I just did what I could."

Erza asked, "Who are you? You couldn't be with Grimoire Heart. And I have never seen you before."

Ash grinned under his mask and said, "I wouldn't say that."

She was confused by his comment and wondered what he meant by that. She saw him reach up and take off his mask. She went wide eyed when she saw his face. His face looked all too familiar from his spiky hair to his black eyes. She knew this person from when she was a child. Some of the other members of the guild took a look at the person's face and were shocked to see who it was. Ash dropped his mask on the ground and looked at all of them.

Ash said, "I'm pretty sure you know who I am."

Erza's eyes were beginning to well up with tears at this familiar individual. Erza asked, "Ash?"

Ash chuckled and said, "It's good to see you again, Erza."

She couldn't believe that her oldest friend is standing right in front of her. The same person that looked out for her when they were in the tower of Heaven. Ash didn't have enough time to say anything else before Erza rushed over and hugged him. He felt his shirt get wet which told him she was crying. He hugged her back softly and rubbed her head to calm her down. Some of the wizards were shocked to see Erza crying and in front of a stranger. Others thought that it was wonderful seeing their old friend in front of them.

Erza composed herself and wiped away her tears. Ash asked, "You okay now?"

She nodded and said, "Yes. It's good to see you again. What are you doing here?"

Ash said, "I was just around and decided to help out."

A voice said, "Well we are grateful for that."

Ash looked around where that voice came from. He found that the voice came from the old man that is under him. He is short with white hair and mustache. He also has the Fairy tail emblem on his chest. This is Fairy Tail's guild master, Makorav Dreyer.

Makorav walked up to Ash and said, "So, you're the one that my children have talked about."

Ash knew that when Makorav says 'children' he means the Fairy Tail members. Ash asked, "They've spoken of me?"

He nodded his head and said, "Yes. I have heard many stories of when they were down and you picked them right back up when they needed help."

Ash said, "I just did what I could at the time."

He said, "Well, I thank you for it."

Ash nodded at that walked around a little more. He first came upon a girl that was still on the ground. He recognized her as Lucy. He stuck out his hand to her and helped her up. He said, "It's good seeing you again, Lucy."

Lucy smiled at seeing her friend again. When she was back on her feet, Lucy hugged Ash and he hugged her back. She said, "It's great to see you again."

Their hug lasted for a few seconds before she let go and he looked at the rest of them. He came upon a girl with long, dark blue hair. It was Wendy Marvel. She recognized Ash the moment he removed his mask. She had tears in her eyes from what she was feeling. Her partner and friend, Carla was right beside to see what is wrong with her.

Carla asked, "What is wrong, Wendy? Do you know who that man is?"

Wendy nodded and said, "Yes. He was the one I told you about, Carla. The one who took care of me when I was young."

Carla remembered that Wendy would talk about a young boy she met when she was little. He looked after and took care of her. She saw the said person come over and crouch in front of Wendy. He brought his hands to Wendy's face wiped away her tears from her face. He said, "It's great to see you again, Wendy."

Wendy couldn't hold it in anymore and hugged Ash. He rubbed her head to calm her down. She said, "I'm so happy to see you again, Ash."

He smiled and said, "I'm happy to see you again too."

They broke their hug after a few seconds and the cat that was standing right beside Wendy came up to Ash. She said, "Hello, my name is Carla. And I want to thank you for taking care of Wendy when she was a child." She stuck her paw out for him to take.

Ash took her paw and shook it. He said, "I was glad to help when I met her." She seemed like his answer and smiled. They took away each others hands and she turned and walked away. Ash used one of his invisible hairs to get a sample from her.

Exceed DNA
He can now use Aera Magic
Can create infected creatures that are skilled in magic

He got up and walked to a man with the Fairy Tail emblem on his chest. It was Gray Fullbuster. Ash brought out his hand to him and said, "Hey, Gray. It's to see you man."

Gray smiled and took his hand. He shook it and said, "It's good seeing you again too, Ash."

He shook hands with him for awhile before they disconnected. He looked beside him and saw Juvia standing there. He walked up to her and she just hugged him out of nowhere. He hugged her back and rubbed her back softly. He chuckled and said, "I'm happy to see you too, Juvia." He let go of her and walked to the next person.

Ash walked up to a woman with brown hair that it tied up in a ponytail. It was Cana Alberona. He walked and they looked at each other before she hugged him and he hugged her back. He saw that the S-Class wizard was standing right beside her. Which meant that she told him the truth. They separated from the hug and Ash said, "I see that you told him the truth."

Cana knew what Ash meant and nodded. She said, "Yeah, I told him. I thought about what you told me all of those years ago and told him."

Ash congratulated her on her accomplishment turned his attention to her father, Gildarts Clive. He introduced himself to Gildarts and he asked why his daughter knows him. Ash said a long time ago he met Cana when she was feeling down. He told him he gave her advice on telling him the truth about being her daughter. He thanked Ash for cheering up his done with liked that they were friends.

Ash walked over to the three siblings of Fairy Tail. They were Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna. He walked up to them and they gave him one group hug. Ash chuckled at their show of affection for him and said, "I'm glad to see you guys too."

Lisanna said, "I'm so happy to see you again, Ash."

Mira said, "Me too. You saved us from that dragon like it was nothing."

Elfman said, "Yeah. You took care of it like a real man."

Ash laughed and hugged them back. Ash walked up to the final person who recognized him. It was Natsu Dragneel. He was standing beside his friend, Happy. Ash walked up to him and held up a fist hoping for a fist bump. Ash said, "Hey, Natsu. It's been a while."

Natsu smiled at seeing his old friend again and pumped his fist right back at Ash's fist. Natsu said, "That was so cool man. You slayed that dragon like it was nothing."

Ash rubbed the back of his head and said, "Well technically that dragon isn't dead."

This got the attention of everyone around him. Makarov asked, "Are you sure Aconologia isn't dead? It looked like you caused a lot of damage with your attack."

Ash nodded and said, "Yes. I am sure. I took a look in the ocean with an ability of mine and saw that it had a lot of scars over its body from my attacks. There was blood coming out of the scars that told me Acnologia is severely wounded. I can guess that it has one more attack in it before it flies off with the energy it has left." He could sense that they were panicking so he gave them an idea. He said, "I do have an idea though." This got them to calm down.

Makarov asked, "What is this idea?"

Ash walked out in front of them and said, "I want all of you to concentrate your magic together and create a defensive spell around each other. I know that it will save you from the attack that is coming this way."

Wendy walked up to Ash and asked, "But, what are you going to do?"

He looked back at her and said, "Don't worry about me. I gotta go somewhere, but I know we'll see each other again." He rubbed her head before getting back up. He put his fingers on his head and activated Instant Transmission that made him disappear in a blur. The wizards heard his words and could feel that they were true. They joined hands and went along with his plan.

Ash appeared at the top of the cliff. He sensed someones energy at this location and had a feeling of who it was. He looked around and saw someone in front of him. It was a girl. She has very long, wavy, pastel yellow-blonde hair that reaches down to her feet with a small ahoge; large green eyes with no pupils; peachy skin and a slight child-like build. She wears a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest are three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. Each series of these is outlined in a hot pink. She wears wing-like adornments around her ears and small hoop earrings. She also seems to prefer going barefoot. It is the first master of Fairy Tail, Mavis Vermillion.

Ash knows that she is only a spirit but is able to see her because of his Reiryoku ability. He walked up to her and she walked up to him. When they were a good distance from each other, Mavis hugged him. Ash was confused at this sudden gesture. He asked, "What's this hug for?"

Mavis let go of him and gave him a smile. She said, "That was for all of the nice things that you've done for all of those wizards."

Ash said, "It was nothing."

We heard something come out of the out the water and it Acnologia. It was leaking lots of blood from the its body but it looked like it still had enough strength for one more attack. It pulled its head back and something appeared in its mouth. Acnologia was preparing a breath attack. Ash saw a bright light on the beach, telling him that the members of Fairy Tail are preparing their spell. He also saw that Mavis was preparing one of Fairy Tail's ancient spells and knew that he has done enough here. He poofed away and eveything played out like it did in the anime.

Magnolia Forest

A portal opened and Ash appeared out of it. Ash got all of the knowledge from his clones and were happy that they looked after each of those people. He closed the portal and looked to see he was at the edge of the forest the is right at the entrance of Magnolia. He knew that he was seven years in the future and knew that the people he sensed was the people of the Fairy Tail. They must still feel sad for the loss of their friends and getting laughed at by everyone. He was about to take a step to the guild, but was stopped when he saw a massive shadow right above him. He looked up and saw a flying ship in the sky. He knew the ship belonged to the Blue Pegasus guild and knew they had news for the Fairy Tail guild. Since that is being taken care of, Ash decided to head into the forest and wait awhile before revealing himself.

Few Days Later

Ash has been in the forest for a long time and has enjoyed the place pretty well. He was been practicing his skills and gotten stronger with each practice session. He heard that the Fairy Tail members that were on Tenrou Island came back and everyone was happy to see them. While he was practicing one day, Ash found Mavis was watching him and found out she wanted to hang out. Ash sometimes spent time with her by talking about the past and Ash found it interesting. He told her about himself and told her that he was from another world. She found that a little hard to believe, but when he snapped his fingers and showed her all the things he showed Naruto. She believed him. He also met an old women that lived in the forest. Her name was Porlyusica. She was being bothered by a beast and Ash was in the area at the time. He beat up the beast and threw it at the near by mountain. She thanked him and actually became friends with him.

Ash was taking a walk in the forest while thinking about something. He has been having visions that he doesn't understand. These visions seem to show him people from this dimension appear in some kind of dessert while fighting some monsters. And as the vision kept going, it changed into a pair of eyes that show nothing but pure evil. He didn't know who those eyes belonged to, but knew that they were the eyes of someone filled with darkness.

He was walking when something caught his eye. It was a hive and in the hive contained bees. He thought that since he has plenty of insects, why not bees? And he will always have all natural honey. He walked over to the hive and devoured all of the bees in the hive.

He tore the hive apart and found the queen bee.

He devoured it and got its DNA.

Bee DNA
Can create small infected bees

Queen Bee DNA
Can create an infected queen bee that can lay hundreds of infected eggs that will spawn infected bees

He continued with his walked, but stopped when he heard *Squeak* a sound. He followed the sound on the ground and saw it was one of his spies. This spy looked like a mouse that was drawn on a piece of paper.

When he appeared in this time, Ash made one of this ink mice to keep on eye on things while he was in the forest. He did a hand sign and made the mouse disappear. Ash saw from its memories that something is going on at the Fairy Tail guild hall. Some people are attacking them, so Ash decides to step in and help them. He put is fingers on his head and use Instant Transmission to send him to the guild hall. He body distorts and just after a few seconds, he's gone.

Fairy Tail Guild Hall

Ash appears in the area of the guild and took a look at the place. He was facing towards the sunset and took it all in. He liked seeing the sunset and enjoyed seeing it rise and set. He was pulled out of his thoughts when someone spoke.

A voice said, "Who is this guy suppose to be?"

Ash looked to where the voice came from and saw three people standing in front of the guild hall. There was a woman with shoulder-length purple hair, save for a wide streak of white hair that runs across the left side of her face. She has yellow eyes and thin eyebrows styled into the shape of arrows. She's wearing a dark green full-body suit, which is sleeveless. Under the top of this suit she has a white collared shirt, through which she ties a red ribbon. Around her waist sits a brown utility belt. Her hands are covered with long gloves that end just before her elbow and her feet are covered by large brown boots.

A man with a cleft chin and rounded nose. His blonde hair stands in a great quiff atop his head, and he has quite prominent side-burns. He wears a white, 70's disco-style suit, with the front of the shirt left open to reveal a large amount of chest hair. The forearms of the suit are decorated with golden tassels, and a thin red belt around his pants. He finishes his look with a pair of black dress shoes and dark, round sunglasses.

And finally there was a girl with long brown hair that is braided and tied at the end with a blue bauble. Her cheeks are usually seem flushed and she has a puppy-like nose and smile, giving her the appearance of a cute little animal. She wears a pair of dark green tights, which she wears under a colorful dress. The top and sleeves of the dress are white, with a blue collar and cuffs. From her chest downwards, the dress becomes detailed and colorful, being divided into many sections, with the chest area and skirt being yellow, and the part that covers her stomach red. On her feet, she wears a pair of bright red sandals.

These people are named Mary Hughs, Sugarboy, and Coco. These are three member of the legion platoon.

(Sugarboy is on the left, Mary Hughs is in the center, and Coco is on the right)

Ash saw the individuals and knew what was going on. He was in the Infinity Clock arc. And that means these people are looking for one of its pieces. Ash took a look around the area and saw many familiar faces. Some of the Fairy Tail wizards had smiles on their faces at seeing a familiar friend. Others were confused at the sudden appearance at this large stranger. While searching around, Ash saw a women with long, blonde hair. She looked like she was dressed up like a fancy doll. Ash knew that it was Michelle and knew what she was. He decided on not letting everyone know her identity and will wait till she tells them. He looked and saw Lucy on the ground. She had a smile on her face for seeing Ash again. He was about to walk to her but his foot hit something. He looked down and saw a case opened and within the case was an item. Ash wanted a closer look at it and he brought his Rinkaku. Three tails appeared out of his coat and one picked the case while another picked up the strange item.

Everyone was shocked to see these tentacles appear out of Ash. They have never seen anything like them. They also saw his eyes change from white to black and the center changed to red. Ash looked at the item and felt the energy around. The item looked like one of the hands on a clock. Ash knew that this was one of the clock pieces and these people were here to steal it. He wasn't gonna let that happen. Ash looked back at the three in front of the guild and they flinched after seeing his eyes. They waited to see what he was going to do. Ash reached into the pocket that was attached to his leg and pulled out two keys. These keys were familiar to Lucy because she also has these keys.

Ash brought out his keys and shouted, Open, Gate of the Sea Goat and Gate of the Maiden!" A bright light shined the location and two individuals stepped out of the light. Ash shouted, "Capricorn!" One of them was a a tall humanoid, towering over all, who possesses many goat-like traits: his body is covered in short, brownish white fur, with longer tufts covering his lower face, resembling a goatee, and the back of his legs, which greatly resemble those of a goat, being slightly bent backwards and ending in dark hooves. He has short, thin ears sitting on top of his head, with a distinctive, elongated oval form, and horns which curve downwards and jut forwards from the side of his head. From his lower back sprouts a mildly long tail ending in a dark tuft of fur, and his fingers sport long and dark nails. His elongated face possesses marked cheekbones and a prominent, large nose; his eyes are always hidden away by a pair of black, mirror polished shades, which were initially portrayed as having distinct, separated lenses, with an elongated oval form.

Ash shouted, "Virgo!" The other one was a maid with shackles around her wrists, short, pink hair, and blue eyes. She wears a typical maid outfit, consisting of a black under coat and a white, frilled-trim apron.

Most of the wizards were shocked at what they just saw. The one that was most shocked was Lucy. Lucy knew that Capricorn and Virgo was contracted to her. Yet, she sees Ash summon them out of the blue. She looks in her bag and pulls out Capricorn and Virgo's keys. She saw that she has them and saw that Ash has the exact same keys. So how does he have the same keys as her and is able to summon these spirits?

Ash puts the clock piece inside of the case and locks it. He moves the case in front of Capricorn. He said, "Make sure no one gets this until it's all over."

Capricorn took the case and said, "Of course. As you wish."

Ash nodded and reached inside in coat. He pulled out a bag of senzu beans and gave them to Virgo. He said, "Make sure everyone eats one of these."

Virgo took the bag and said, "As you wish, prince."

Lucy heard this and thought, 'So she calls him royalty too.' She smiled at this.

One of the people in front of the guild was listening to this. It was Coco. She was checking out Ash and was blushing at how he looked. She heard what Virgo said and thought, 'He's a prince? That must be why he seems so nice.' She realized what she just thought and shook her head.

Ash saw that Virgo was feeding a bean to each of the Fairy Tail wizards and saw that each of them was getting better. He liked that and turned his attention towards the three in front of him. He knew that their leader was coming towards this area. Ash sensed his energy and and knew that he was still far off from the port. He thought of a way to get rid of them and back to their leader. He reached into his coat pocket and grabbed something round. He said, "BAKUGAN, BRAWL!" He threw something small and round on the ground. He said, "BAKUGAN, STAND!" The thing popped up and there was a glow surround surround everyone. This glow was orange and some of the people around could see the round object's eyes glow.

Ash shouted, "SUBTERRA Sabator, ATTACK!" The light went away and everyone took a look at what was in the light. Everyone gasped at what they saw. It was a 20 foot tall creature. It looked like a Minotaur but didn't have the same features as one. It had spikes on its and gears all over its body. It was brown skin and orange and black armor.

Everyone was stunned at what they were looking at. They have never seen a creature such as this. They were even more curious and to how this person was able to summon this creature. They were going to be even more shocked at what was going to happen next.

Ash snapped his fingers and a black portal opened up on the ground. Something came out of the portal and floated in the air. It was a green book with images on it. The book opened up to show a castle that looked like it came from a children's story.

Ash summoned Toon World to activate another one of his skills. Pink smoke came out of the book and surrounded Ash. He was pulled into the book and everyone waited to see what would happen. The book fidgeted and opened up. Two things popped out of the book. One of them was a small dragon with light blue scales. It has small arms and feet with three, sharp nails at the end of them. Its eyes are very deep blue with three rings around them and a large smile that showed a row of teeth.

The other that came out of the book was a girl. She has blond hair, green eyes, and wields a wand that matches her outfit. Her outfit is composed of an off-the-shoulders garment that extends to her mid-thighs and ends up as a skirt. It is blue with pink trimmings and a few touches of yellow. Her hat is pointed, it is blue, along with pink rings and a pink spiral on one side. She wears boots reaching halfway up her thighs, and her wand, which is blue, has a spiral which is similar to the one on her hat, except that it is yellow. She wears pink and blue gauntlets. She has faint pink markings on her cheeks.

No one could comprehend what they are seeing. They are seeing things that they have never seen before. First they saw a strange bull-like creature appeared that was a ball a few seconds before. And now a short dragon and a blonde witch appeared out of a book that came out of thin air. All of them were radiating so more power that if even one of them went up against an army they would destroy them.

Sabator looked down and said, "I hope you brought me out for something fun."

The dark magician girl nodded and said, "Don't worry. What's about to happen is going to be fun." She brought up her arm that had a watch on it and pressed the buttons. The watch said, 'READY, CHOMPIXX.' and an orange figure appeared right out of it. She grabbed it and threw it up in the air. She said, "BATTLE GEAR BOOST!" The figure disappeared and something appeared on top of Sabator. It has two large chomping blades that stick out right over it.

Sabator roared and said, "Yeah. Now that's what I'm talking about."

Everyone was paying so much attention to them that they weren't paying attention to the dragon. It punched the air right next to it and its muscles pulsed. Everyone heard this and looked at it and went wide eyed at what they saw. The blue dragon's skin changed from light blue to light red with bright markings all over its body and smoke coming from it. The dragon activated Second Gear and got into a battle stance. The three wizards prepared for his attack but didn't expect what it did next. It said, "Gum Gum Jet..." it disappeared before it finished its sentence. The three looked are the place but couldn't find it. But they heard, "Pistol!" It appeared right next to them and *Bash* hit them before they could react to his attack. All three crashed into each other and launched away from the guild. They *Crash* crashed right into the rock wall.

The girl saw they were injured and knew that this was a chance to make their next move. She pulled a card out of nowhere and said, "Battle Gear Ability Activate: Chamber Land Breaker!" The blades on Sabator's battle gear impaled the ground which caused rocks to fly in the sky, an earthquake, and cracking the ground. The dragon and the spellcaster fired blasts from their mouth and cane toward the rocks. The rocks *Boom* exploded into smaller pieces of rocks. The three people were too shaken by the earthquake to move and were hit by the fallen rocks and were buried under them.

Everyone was shocked to see that the people that took them down so easily be beaten in just a few seconds. They waited to see what was going to happen and saw green goo come out from under the rocks. The goo was hurled toward the three that attacked them, but only the bull was captured while the other two flew away. They came out from under the rocks with a lot of bruises and scrapes. The one responsible was Sugarboy with his dog whistle magic. They smiled that they were at least able to capture one of them. They saw it wasn't moving and saw thought that they had it. How wrong they were.

The girl pulled out another card and said, "Ability Activate: Brute Cam Wilder!" Everyone heard her and looked at the creature in the goo. They saw all of the drills and gears spinning rapidly. They were spinning so fast that it was swirling around all of the goo surrounding it. After a few seconds it sent all of the goo off of it and on the ground. He was shocked that his magic failed to contain the creature.

Sabator said, "You think a puny spell like that could stop me. Ha. Don't underestimate me!" He swung his fist so fast thanks to the ability and *Bash* flung them into the air. The spellcaster summoned Enkidu and wrapped chains around all three of them. She brought them down to the ground and went forward with the next part of the plan. The blue eyed dragon made a cannon appear out of nowhere and grabbed all three of the wizards. He pushed into the cannon with a stick and appeared in front of the hole. He said, "Tell your leader that your mission failed." The dragon got behind the cannon, aimed it at the ocean and lit a match. The cannon's fuse was burned and went down and the dragon covered its ears along with the spellcaster. There was a loud *Boom* explosion that came from the cannon. It fired the wizards towards the ocean to their leader.

Far off the port of Magnolia

On the outskirts of Magnolia there is something coming from the distance. It was a giant red octopus and on top of that octopus was Byro, the leader of the Legion Platoon. He was going to Magnolia to complete the mission that was given to him by the Arch Bishop. He was also sensing a high energy level that he could not possibly explain. He didn't know who this energy belonged to and he didn't care. He looked ahead and saw something coming towards him. It looked quite large and looked like it was moving. Before he could say anything the falling object appeared right behind him and on top of his octopus. He looked and his eyes went wide at what he saw. It was all three members of his team with a lot of bruises on their bodies. He was confused at this sight. Who could've defeated all three of them?

Mary Hughs got up and told him, "Boss, we go to tell you something."

Back at Fairy Tail guild hall

The blue eyed dragon was floating up in the air with a telescope to its eye. It was watching to see everything transpire on the octopus. He saw the octopus turn away from away from the town. He also saw Byro's face with a look a defeat on it. The dragon smiled that the planned worked and it gave the spellcaster a thumbs up. She understood what that meant and liked that. The dragon flew back down to the spellcaster and disappeared in a poof. The spellcaster's body began to glow and it was turned back into Ash. Ash looked at Sabator and saw that its body glowed orange. It appeared right in the palm of his hand.

Ash looked at it and said, "I told you it would be fun."

Sabator said, "You were right. It was fun."

Ash put him back into his pocket dimension and walked back to Capricorn. When he was in front of him, Ash extended his hand to Capricorn and asked, "Can I have the case back?"

Capricorn nodded and said, "Of course." He handed Ash the case which he took.

Ash grabbed the case and said, "Thank you for your help."

Capricorn said, "It is always a pleasure to be of assistance." He bowed and disappeared.

He looked and saw Virgo was standing next to him. She gave him back her bag of senzu beans. Ash looked around and saw everyone is fully healed and back on their feet. He said, "Good job, Virgo."

She nodded and said, "Thank you for the complement, prince." She disappeared like Capricorn.

Ash walked over to Lucy brought his hand to her. She took and gave her back her case. She thanked him for helping all of them and hugged him for coming back. He got hugs from all of his friends that saw him on the island and introduced himself to the ones that he didn't know him. When he was about to introduce himself they told him that they heard stories about Ash from their other members. He was shocked to hear that but liked that he was talked about around the guild.

Lucy was curious about something and asked, "Ash, how were you able to summon Virgo and Capricorn when I'm contracted with them?"

Ash grabbed the two said spirits' keys and said, "The spirits you saw are like counterparts of the originals. They have the same personality like them but are two separate beings. I got these keys from a man in a cloak and accepted them. I was told all about the spirits from them." He gave her the two keys for her to look at. She felt the magic in the keys and it felt similar to the magic of her keys. She gave them back and asked the other question that puzzled her mind.

She asked, "And why do you look the same as when we saw you on Tenrou Island?"

Ash said, "A portal opened up in front of me and I somehow appeared in this time." Everyone who listened was surprised to hear he was sent seven years into the future like him.

After a little conversing all of them headed back into the guild and decided on what they were going to do next. Because after this happened, they knew that this wasn't over.
