"Hey Happy, Luce! Look who I found!" Natsu called out his wife and his buddy, while holding his baby son and dragon. Lucy was playing with toddler Nashi, who eventually pulled Happy's whiskers as he cried out in pain. Lucy helped Happy by getting her daughter's hands off of his whiskers, but she turned her head around and saw Natsu with his signature grin approaching her. Toddler Nashi turned her head with toddler Lucky took a nap on his partner's head. "Natsu, have you found-" she cut herself off when she looked at baby Mick napping with baby Azazel. She finds him cute, so she picked little Nashi up to have her look at her new adopted brother, "Look Nashi, it's your brother, say hello to Mick and Azazel," she said in baby talk to Nashi, who looked at her new baby adopted brother in awed. Happy flew up to their height and looked at Mick and Azazel, "Cuuuuute baby," he said very cheeky tone, then Natsu suddenly remembered about meeting Neel, "Oh I saw Neel, he has a blond hair. He really looks like a fighter," he said out loud about their future son like an idiot he is. Lucy made the irk about Natsu's antic for raising their kids like a fighter, Happy noticed as he quickly snatched both Mick and Azazel away from them. He and toddler Nashi were starting to look scared as Lucy set Nashi down, who gotten away from her mom to Happy, "IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING FOR OUR SONS TO GROW UP TO BE A FIGHTER WITHOUT A BRAIN!!" she yelled at her husband in anger as Natsu crowel in fear, "N-No." "How is that possible, like Alex said, he's just an imperfect clone from that mad man who tried to destroy Fairy Tail with Master Precht's help!" he said to Xanatos as he bugged out about the who discovery. Suddenly, just as Miku's image vanished, Thought Projection Mavis entered the spot where Merlin was, not happy about Owen around. She looked at her eldest half brother and her great grandfather with a sadness, "Emrys and 8th, there is something you need to know before my friends and I will be forced back to our time period," she said to him. Makarov looked at his great granddaughter in concern, "Did something happen?" The original Mavis looked at Merle and Zane, she placed her finger underneath her chin, "Yeah, we need Noct, Neel, Zane, and myself to be born. However..." she looked at Shiro and Winter, knowing she's not part of their group, but she needs Ice Dragon Lady from any fire daemons, "Shiro, you have to talk to your dad about sending your infant self away and explain everything, but don't tell him about yourself. That also includes Damien's parents. We need those two as well, if we ever going to deal with Daemons," she said to them. Shiro and Winter look just as Neel shouts out to Sora, "Hey Sora, I got a video from someone, who wants to talk to you," he said like childishly as he pulled out his lacrima phone. Sora blinked in surprise as she approached Neel, while Nashi, Lupus, Lucky, and Julian wonder who want to talk to her. "Who is it?" she asked him, but she didn't get an answer as Neel handed her his phone to show a video starts playing to reveal a blond hair man around her age starts playing, "Is it on Neel?""Yes, so what do you want to say to Sora?" said a man and voice of Neel, however a familiar voice made Nashi and Julian earned an anime fall. Lupus shook his head in slight annoyance, but understood why his sister gave him a chance. Sora slightly widen her disguise violet eyes, while holding Neel's phone, "Yeah, hey Sora. I want to see how are you been in past timeline? It's boring without you around, it's sucks that stuck up prince has to join with you and your teams," he said through the video as Sora gave Merle a sheepish grin, "Anyway, there is something I want to tell you. When we first met, I admire your beauty and courageous when it comes to fight, like you won the jousting champion and I was completely h*ll of stunned that we found out it was you before you rode your pegasus. After I found out about that d*mn rumor about you and Pendragon as couple. I don't know if it is true, but I always wanted to beat Pendragon a**, so I can win you," he continued as Sora blushed, "D*mn I was embarrassed, and stop laughing Neel! I was trying to say this... Sora, I love you, so when you get back, I want to know if you feel the same, so those media will give up," he confessed his feeling for Sora before the video ended. Sora blushed really big, while Julian and Nashi jaw dropped, "What the h*ll!?" Julian bewildered, "Forget it Sora, you know that guy is arrogant knight, who wanted to beat Merle, so he can have you!" Nashi yelled at her friend about him. Sora handed a phone to Neel, while trying to figure out, as he teased her, "He loooooves Sora," he minick Happy's tone. Lupus smirked about it, "Well that will solve all of rumored relationship between Merle and Sora's problem, but it's totally up to my baby sister," he commented. Sora fidded her thumbs to think about the man's confession, while her face was red. Shiro looked at Sora as she realized, "Sora, did Jason suddenly confessed his feeling for you?""Yes, Jace-kun did. He may be arrogant, but I will give him a chance to be with him if I don't have a boyfriend. I need to think about it." Elsewhere, Carla's foresaw the terrible future about Daichi and his crews took over the Mount Olympus, death of Miku, and Daemons eating defenseless humans. She was shaken about it, "What is my vision means? Did something happen after Xehanort's defeat?" she questioning herself, Wendy looked at her partner in concern.
"The richer you are, the more enemies you have ..." "And I'm very rich"
"Perhaps i can explain" Owen said adjusting his glasses "you see, what was said was partially true, Xehanort did create the Alexander Xanatos you knew years ago, the one you let join your guild and destroyed Master Xehanort ... because the Alexander you knew was actually a Heartless" Owen said as both Merlin and Alex looked at him stunned but Xanatos looked at him curiously"a Heartless?"Xanatos asked which Owen nodded in response "should a being surrender to the darkness in their heart fully, there will be a chance they become a being of pure darkness, void of emotions essentially mindless ... however one thing Xehanort did not account for was the spirit of the White Dragon who merged with young Alex giving him a conscious so to speak. when Xehanort was defeated last time, his Heartless self was destroyed but the love of his friends and future wife managed to get his true form back, albeit minority different ... he's just now getting back Mrs. Fox's hair"
hearing Owen explain, Alex couldn't help but be confused about this 'Fox' person "wait ... Fox? my ... my mother's name is Fox? what kind of name is that? he asked as Xanatos shrugged slightly with a smirk"legal"he said and left it at that, picking up that his mother changed her name, Alex let the subject drop but then thought of something else "wait if the me that was before was a Heartless ... which i had no idea by the way ... doesn't that mean there's a Nobody of me roaming around out there?"indeed there is"said a voice as a transparent figure in a black cloak stood there and took off his cloak showing Alex's face. the only thing that was different was his ears were more pointed"i have been fixing the damage Xehanort caused .... the three are reunited ... the Wold that Never was is Destroyed ... and Xehanort is dead, now and forever"Alex's nobody said and smiled at his true self "i could have done that, you didn't-""you were happy .... one of us needed to be, to have a life ... and with me, we could do both"he said then looked at Mokarov with a smile then over a ways away at Erza and infant Simon and Ania"and now ... i can go to where i belong"he said before the two Alex's glowed in a light before only the regular one was there who checked his ears and sighed in relief "oh good ... i wasn't a fan of those ears" he said with a laugh
Merle winced at the phone recording almost feeling ill "of all the people ..." he said getting up stretching "well at least he wasn''t a bully like Girder" he said as Erik raised his eyebrows in amusement as well as Sawyer "oh hush, if this means i can actually be friends with Sora and not having Nashi and Mavis go on about our not relationship ... go for is Sora" he said as Zane hid his smirk but glanced at his sister"timeline is solidifying fast we better-"Zane said but then was hit in the face by the door as Simon burst in then looked at the other keyblade wielders"did any of you guys hear that message too?"
"To all of Keyblade Wielders, please use your keyblades to expand the Realms from evil, once the Fairy Sphere is activated," Miku's voice telepathic to keyblade users, which Oblivions lifted their eyes up. Yami looked at his wife, yet he sensed darkness grew stronger, "This darkness is getting bigger," he said to her and Tsubaki, who also sense it. Hikari held her children close, worried about them, "It's overwhelming, I never felt it like that before," she said to him, while younger kids clinged themselves to their mother because they sense something terrifying. Yami looked at her, then Tsubaki with a stern expression, "Lucy said Fairy Sphere only works when we have bond and faith into magical power, with our keyblade, we can expand the entire realms, however it will results of time to be frozen" he said to them. Tsubaki stood herself up in concern, "That means...""We won't age and remain frozen, unless either First or Lucy-chan deactivate it," she finished it, which Tsubaki looked shock. Thought Project Mavis explains to her great grandfather about Daemon King known as Daichi Nanashi, realms will be in daemon hunting ground, and have no choice, but to activate Fairy Sphere, while her younger selves friends have to be outside to grow up and increase their magic. Makarov looked extremely shock, "This... Daichi will rule the realms after he will dethrone the Queen," he said in stunning expression. Mavis nodded sadly, then Makarov grew grim to think about it, "If this is what you want, then we need a lot of wizards to join hands and create the bond and faith to activate Fairy Sphere." Lupus and Sora were widen their eyes to hear Miku's telepathic message, but they knew Noctis, Neel, Zane, and Mavis were not yet born. Nashi begin to whine at Merle,"But you two are so close, I don't want Sora to be with arrogant archery. Girder is creepy!" she complains, which Shiro scoffed and about to leave with Winter, "Quit whining about it, if Sora is happy, you should be happy," she said to her with icy stern expression before she left to find her father, "Shut up Ice Queen!" Nashi yelled at her in anger. "You know Nashi-chan, we are just friend after Girder harassed me for a date, besides I already gave Jace-kun a chance for be in relationship," she said to her friend with a smile. Mavis looked at her brother, until Simon slammed the door open about the message. Julian, Neel, Mavis, Nashi, and Lucky were confused, so Lucky spoken out, "What do you mean?""Lady Miku telepathic us, I'm guessing including Alex, our parents, and Aunt Serenity might have got it from her. Sora and I already sensed darkness getting bigger, which means Daichi is already on the move," he said to them, which they were all shock. Mavis helped Zane up and looked at everyone, "Before we prepare for Fairy Sphere, we need Noct, Neel, Zane, and myself to be born, before our time will pull us back to our timeline. Simon, contact your jedi friends, Lupus will bring Cecil and Noct back here. However, there is no guarantees that we might ended up in different realms. I will entrust Emrys to take care of our younger selves, until I deactivate Fairy Sphere. Any question?" she explains the plan for Fairy Sphere, she looked at Zane with sad expression, "Then we have to get our parents speed up our birth before our time catches up."
as the children spoke, Merle tried thinking of how to make sure the others got born but then a portal appeared as a young man with green hair sitting in a hovering wheelchair glanced at them "DeVoe" Merle said as the Thinker nodded"well now ... you all have been gone for three years and never thought about any of this?"he asked as Simon cleared his throat looking around while everyone else (that i control) didn't want to answer but then Merle spoke up "you have any ideas to help make sure everyone gets born before Fairy Sphere is activated?" he asked as DeVoe rolled his eyes"of course i do, Mr. Pendragon, thinking is all i do .... several scenarios come to mind: taking essence from each parent to make test tube babies, however this is risky and might have some of them gender swapped or in the case of you two"he said glancing at Zane and Mavis"might have only one of you born, then there's the mystical potion to rapid pregnancy ... while effective it, again, has too many variables: the added pressure might cause the males to be unable to ... shall we say: 'get the job done' ... causing most to not be born, many of these scenarios are the same except. for. one. ... Mr. Pendragon, you and Mr. Thomas, and- wasn't there a third speedster?"DeVoe asked as Merle nodded "yeah, but he went back home" he said making DeVoe nod"doesn't matter ... anyway as i was saying: you both must take the adults needed to produce the others and take them into the future, enough for dating, marriages, what have you and after their children are born, bring them back here ... i've estimated no more than a single year should be sufficient enough"he said as Merle glanced at Sawyer who smirked "good idea""of course it is: why else would Neel name me the Thinker?he said with a smirk and a wink at Neel as Merle chuckled but then became more serious "should ... should we tell them?" he asked as DeVoe was silent before taking in a breath and pushed a button that produced recording lacrima"we cannot tell our parents ... anything ... however due to Fairy Sphere, most of our hereditary abilities will be harder to access without them around ... so this is what you must do: these Lacrima have infinite memory, one for each of our parents ... the big one is the master one, just ... someone go around, make recordings ... it will copy, from their memories, every battle and every magic they used ... it won't be the same but ... at least we'll remember what they looked like"he said sounding slightly upset, though he wasn't the only one, Simon knew that he and Onyx would have it the worst being out in the galaxy "also ... get a good look at their emblems"Simon said as he placed his hand over his own then went to the side to make a call to the Guardians
hearing what was going on, Xanatos looked urgently at Alex "come with me, your family please ... if what they say is true i ... i can't loose you for twelve years" he said as Alex looked at him sternly but softly "this guild is my family ... so many-" he said as Xanatos nodded "i understand, Goliath and his Clan became family when you were born ... i guess you can say you were the treaty that brought our rivalry to an end ... but i am staying by your side ... i won't leave you, not again" he said putting a hand on Alex's shoulder then glanced at Mavis "so this sphere ... how will it work exactly?"
"My name is Merle Pendragon, i am the fastest man alive. When i was a child, my father was put into a coma by dark magic, then an accident caused me to have magic. To the people of Camelot, I'm their prince, but together with the Wizard guild: Triple Goddess, i use my speed and power over kinetic energy to fight crime and save innocents throughout the realms. and one day, i'll find who nearly killed my father, and finally wake him up. i am Raiden"
Just as Devoe appeared through the portal, Neel and others were surprise, and Neel bewildered, "THINKER!" he bugged out with a shout. Julian and others listened to Devoe about everyone they know will be born before Fairy Sphere, he blinked couple times about risk for Noctis, Neel, Zane, and Mavis might get gender change, and Dreyer twins will be just one birth, "Meaning taking their own parent's DNA samples, and another risk of stillbirth," he said to his brother as he rose his eyebrow. Neel grinned widely to Devoe after he winked at him, "Yep, like I named Raiden, Captain Cold, Dr. Alchemy, Heatwave, Thunder Twins, Blackout, Grodd, Ember Celica, and Nephiliam!" he childishly said to him as he pointing at everyone, who he nicknamed them. Lupus sweat dropped about it, until Devoe pressed the button to reveal the recording larcrima, "That is really helpful while our younger selves remain outside of Fairy Sphere." Thought Project Mavis looked at Xanatos before she smiled, "It only works with everyone's bonds and faith into magic power. It takes the form of a large sphere. My friend decide to expand it around the realms with the help of keyblade users, so the magic protects the realms from any evil, an absolute defense magic, powerful enough to defend against even time. However, the sphere acts as a stasis chamber, a place in which time stops, thus every realms within the sphere are stuck in a frozen state in which they don't age. However, we have to send our younger selves out of Fairy Sphere, so we can train ourselves before my younger self can deactivate it and resume the time. I have to do this because we have an enemy is so powerful we have ever faced, and he has his pawns we are familiar with," she explains about her magic will protect every realms from Daichi and his pawns. Thanks to her new timeline, Arachne and Mosquito were part of Daichi's pawn as she looked grimmed, "I can't believe Daichi picked Heretic Witch and her Steward because of her ability to spy on us and sell our information to him."
☾ "I was Arthur's tutor. I didn't teach him magic ..." "I taught him ethics and morals. which is much more difficult, believe me."
smirking, DeVoe gazed at Merle and Sawyer "ah ... before you do, Sawyer perhaps you'll like these clothes better" he said pushing a button and a ring shot out to the Triple Goddess member who caught it and looked at the Thinker in confusion but then put on the ring. instantly a suit started pealing onto him like it was morphing from his regular clothes: red closed jacket with a yellow lightning bolt and blue pants made out of some kind of friction proof material, but that wasn't the thing that got Sawyer's attention, what got his was something that shot out of his ring: a silver helmet with lightning bolts on the sides like Hermes wore"what's ... all this?"he said as DeVoe only smirked leaning to the side of his chair "everyone needs their signature look, Mr. Thomson ... you dreamed of being fast, best look the part" he said as Sawyer looked down at the helmet and knelt his head to put it on then gazed up to the room standing slightly proud in his new look"i feel ... free"he said as Merle smiled putting a hand on his shoulder"you look good ... though i think you need a better name than Racer"he said as Simon ended the call and nodded to Mavis
Xanatos only nodded as Mavis explained but looked even more sternly "fine ... but i have a request: wait until a bit after dark" he said as Alex looked in confusion "why?""simple ... i want your mother to see you before this spell freezes us all in time ... and old friends that can't travel in daylight" Xanatos said as Alex scoffed somewhat "what are they, Vampires?" he said as his father shared an amused glance with Owen "of course not ... they're Gargoyles" he said which made Alex not sure how to respond to that and just ended up confused "but i would like to meet the rest of your family"
Merlin was instantly interested when he heard Xanatos had gargoyles as friends but then felt something in his mind like an old memory that he buried away but then remembered suddenly, three faces .... three keyblade wielders and he knew their names too. he went under another name once ... Yen Sid, something about time travel. that spell the children used, that's where they got it! it all made sense "Master Eraqus' students ... they have returned" he said as his owl flew in and nodded to him
"But i knew he felt i was more of a father to him, and deep down i felt the same way. .... And in the end, my heart shattered when i saw him for the last time." ☆
(since i has it that Merlin is the Sorcerer i figured maybe Yen Sid was a Merlin under another name and the Old Merlin was just him in his later years, both Time Traveled of course)
Thought Project Mavis listened to Xanatos, then she down cast her eyes to think about August, who she regret herself not knowing he's her son with Zeref. She nodded, Makarov took a notice on her expression, "Very well, you have my permission to let Alex go, but you have to bring him back because we need his magic to join hands before I activate Fairy Spheres. My step-sister should do the same thing," she agreed, yet wanted her newly discovered stepsister to join hands. Makarov begin to speak to her, "First... you seems troubled about something?" he asked her a question. She heard her godson's words coming out of his mouth, she placed her hands over her eyes as she begin to cry, which he freaking out, "Yes, I should have known about my son named August, who I had with Zeref, but I watched him died right before my eyes before he was about to annihilated entire Magnolia," she cried about her regret never knowing her own son. Makarov widen his eyes and freaks out, "You had a Disaster son with Black Wizard! Then that means, your son was nephew to Master Merlin and Natsu, Fairy King Oberon's grandson, and Nashi and Soris' cousin!" Original Mavis got Simon's message as she nodded, then looked at everyone, "Everyone, bring the lacrima recording from Devoe and record your parents' magic and their appearance, then give it to our younger selves before I will activate Fairy Sphere," she informed them that they should start recording their parent's magic and their appearance for their younger selves. Nashi and others lifted their fist in the air to use Happy's catchphrase, "AYE SIR!" Shiro walked down the hallway to Blue Pegasus to prepare to meet her father. Winter draped around her partner's shoulder, "Oh will you relax, your father doesn't seems to involve with both Fairy Tail and Triple Goddess knowing about time traveling. Or is it about that Ichiya might discover about you and your younger self same scent?" she said to her in stoic manner, and mentioning Ichiya as Shiro shivered to remembered Ichiya invade her personal space... a lot. She was creeped out from him, thankfully Master Bob let her go to Triple Goddess after she seems uncomfortable around Blue Pegasus. She use her nose to track Eve, "That's what am I worried about, you know Ichiya really is if he stick his nose around me,""Then I suggest turn him into ice coffin," Winter suggest in order to keep him quiet about her, however those two caught Eve's scent as Winter quickly flew away. "Who's turning into-" said Eve as he stopped and noticed Shiro's back, he's shocked as he held younger Shiro, who was currently napping. Shiro turned around and meets her father, yet wondered why he looked shocked, "I thought you are my late wife, but I was wrong. There is no way she will dress like that, and member of Triple Goddess," he said with a chuckled. Shiro looked confused, until she suddenly realized, "Wait the minute, is dad talking about mom? Did my disguise looked like her?" she thought about her disguise. Eve approached her with a sad smile, "I'm so sorry about that, but you reminded me of my own daughter's mom. She died from childbirth, I was sadden about her passing, but I still have my little snowflake," he said to her sadly and looked at his infant daughter. Shiro looked at her younger self, then her father with a smile, still remembered Eve used to call her that when she was a little girl, "Your daughter looks beautiful, and I'm sorry for asking, but... what was her mother like?" she asked him about her mother. Eve looked at her in surprised, unknowing he's talking to his future daughter, but he smiled, "You are strange young lady you are, but it's alright. Her mother was an elegant woman, yet she had some stern about being a lady she was raised in. Her parents wanted to arrange a marriage to expand a company, but she choose me rather than marry the complete strangers, it results her parents cuts off their ties with her and they don't seems to approve me because I always flirts with other woman. She even like my magic, she called it winter wonderland. I'm a little afraid of bring Shiro to meet her maternal grandparents and worried they will accept her or not," he explains about his late wife to his future daughter. Shiro was surprised to learn about her mother's family, which that explains why she never met her maternal grandparents because her grandparents cut their ties with her mother for marrying her father. Elsewhere, Winter nearly going to cry to learn about her partner's mother's family, but sadly her tears froze and fell onto the brick floor.
Merle wasted no time as he zoomed about around the arena trying to find all the couples he knew he would have to get to set the plan in motion: Mirajane and Laxus, Gajeel and Levi, Elfman and Evergreen, all the others as well. one by one he grabbed each couple that Sawyer wasn't taking and took them twelve years into the future to some places he figured would be romantic and left each of them with a vauge note saying: "we all know you two like each other so we figured we'd give you guys some alone time, you got a whole year". the only one he didn't leave one with was Natsu and Lucy whom, after dropping off young Mick and Azazel with young Nashi in a whirl of lightning, drop them off in another area and a note that just said 'don't worry, you'll be back the second you left, enjoy your year long second honeymoon'. after words he wen't ahead a year in their future and brought them all back to the present with their three month old children in the couple's arms, the older Mick watched his parents return and smiled a bit at his baby brother, by at least a month from what he gathered in the new timeline that was starting to morph. he then glanced at his younger self who was hugging his dragon light and gazed up at his adoptive family with a smile. Mick felt his face and instantly felt sad. his scar was still there.
after Merle returned, Simon looked at Mavis "while we got time i better go try to explain to Master Mokarov and Natsu about Precht ... last thing i want to do is fight the both of them trying to protect my best friend" he said as he left and went to Natsu and smiled at the new Dragneels "oh wow, hard to believe these two were even this small ... Natsu ... would you mind following me? i have something i need to talk to you and Master Mokarov about ... i wouldn't ask if it weren't important"
"Mokarov when you lived as long as i have you learn everyone is related in some form or fashion if not by blood" Merlin said with a slight chuckle as Xanatos rubbed his beard in contemplation when Mavis explained that Fox should join hands too "Fox isn't exactly the 'holding hands' type ... but i'll run it by her" he said as he went over to Erza and smiled down at young Simon and Titania then at Erza "nice to finally meet the woman who my son earned the love of" he said offering his hand "David Xanatos, Alex's real father" he said as Alex looked over at the two with his breath held
"My name is Merle Pendragon, i am the fastest man alive. When i was a child, my father was put into a coma by dark magic, then an accident caused me to have magic. To the people of Camelot, I'm their prince, but together with the Wizard guild: Triple Goddess, i use my speed and power over kinetic energy to fight crime and save innocents throughout the realms. and one day, i'll find who nearly killed my father, and finally wake him up. i am Raiden"
After Merle returned to take few couples to the future, Mavis looked at Simon talking about Precht as she went pale, knowing both Natsu and Makarov, mainly Natsu will try to beat him up like he did to Gajeel after he joined few days after Phantom Lord disband. Makarov... he will probably yell at him like he did to Laxus. Only she have to worry about is Yami, she knew fairly well that he won't forgive Precht for nearly annihilated both Tsubaki and Hikari with unborn Cecil and Lupus, "Very well, but I have to find Yami before Precht arrive," she respond to him and looked at both Lupus and Sora, who nodded that they will try to keep their father still. Those three left to look for Yami. Nashi, Neel, and Lucky peeked over to watch their parents with infant Mick with Azazel, infant Neel, who giggled happily with his parents, while Toddler Nashi hugged kitten Lucky. Although, both Neel and Nashi grew sad because they won't be with their parents within 12 years. Lucky begin to spoken out to Dragneels, "Moping can be later, but we need to record their memories of their magic. Mr. DeVoe will give us the lacrima recording," he said to them, then Nashi knew what big sister will do, so typically she snatched lacrima recording from DeVoe's wheelchair, "Let's do it now!" she said excitedly and ran off to her parents. Julian and Lucky just face palmed, while Neel cracked up about his sister's recklessness. Natsu and Lucy were playing with their sons, until Simon arrived to talk to him, he looked at both Lucy and Happy, "I will be back, and Happy watch over Lucy and kids,""Aye sir!" Happy clime happily and poked his paw at Mick's nose. Natsu looked at Simon in confusion, that Makarov was included, "Jii-chan too?" he asked him, but he grin happily, "Whatever, but count me in!" Mavis, Sora, and Lupus were looking for Yami, and they found him with Hikari setting younger Noctis, who was currently napping like his nearly year old sister, in crib. Mavis cleared her throat to get their attention, Tsubaki was playing with toddler Lupus and Cecil as she lifted her head. "Yami there is something we need to talk about?" she spoken to dark warrior. Yami rose his eyebrow, then looked at Hikari and Tsubaki, "Don't worry, Hikari-san and I will take care of Sora-chan and Noctis-kun, when they wake up," said Tsubaki with a smile, Hikari agreed with a smile. Yami lifted his eyebrow slightly, then looked away with a smile, "Very well," he accept and he followed Mavis and his future kids. When they were far enough, Lupus and girls looked at Yami as he crossed his arms, "What is it?""Dad, you have to promise us not to get mad?" Sora asked him with calm tone. Yami looked confused, while Lupus have to prepare for his magic to restrain his father. "Okay, but why?" he asked once more. Mavis took a deep breath and spoken out, "I'm not only one who will be reborn, my friend name Precht Gaebloge, the one who was formerly known as Master Hades from Grimore Heart, is also reborn to atone his sins. We are getting worried how you will react if you meet him after what he did three years ago in this timeline," she explains to him about Precht. Yami didn't even move nor say anything as his eyes looked dark, and he clinched his fist to remember what Hades did to him and learned he nearly annihilated Tsubaki and Hikari in early stage of her first pregnancy. Lupus kept his light magic to prepare to hold his father down, "Umm... Dad?" Thought Project Mavis looked at Merlin, then Xanatos talking about Fox as her eyes grew widen, "So that's her name?" she mumbled about her step-sister. Makarov begin to yelled at Merlin, "Then why didn't you react that you have a nephew with Zeref that nearly destroys the entire Magnolia! Does that mean that August was Nashi and Soris' cousin!! Did you know that August was known as 'Magic King' and 'Disaster', he was the strongest mage we have ever faced!!!" he yelled at Merlin with irked mark on his head like he did to his grandson.
"My mom is one of the strongest warriors in the world ..."
DeVoe only shook his head in exasperation at Nashi's antics "typical Dragneel ... good work Raiden, you as well Mr. Thomson" he said to the two speedsters who sat down with an arm full of snacks and began eating to get back the calories they lost "as i predicted the plan has succeed, everyone who wasn't born before Fairy Sphere is present. even though cronologicly we are a year younger, physically we are still the same age, give or take an hour if any"
as Simon walked with Natsu to where Mokarov was, from what he found out from the others, just when Mokarov shouted at Merlin. the Sorcerer didn't flinch but he did grab Mokarov's lips to stop him from rambling on even more after he was done"first off: i'm over 1500 years old, lived quite a few lives simultaneously until this decade where the majority of my essence was shot by a creature of darkness where the decedent of King Arthur procedded to use a spell not only to bring me back to solid form by combining all the parts of me that were scattered but also as a guy in his late twenties ... my life is so complex, how weird do you think my family tree is? nothing surprises me anymore"he said finally letting go of the Fairy Tail guildmaster's lips and noticed Simon and Natsu"ah, what brings you both by?"Merlin asked as Simon silently came to a decision "i needed to tell Master Mokarov and Natsu something, but since you're here i think you should know to" he said as Merlin looked at the Jedi curiously but then nodded for him to continue "you remember Precht right? Master Hades" he asked as Merlin nodded slowly, he recalled he ended up using physical means to subdue that dark wizard by kicking him between the legs, it was dirty but did the job to stop Nirvana "well ... like Mavis was reborn, he was too" he said but then noticed Merlin's shock and quickly added: "he's different now, he regrets everything and i forgave him" he said as Merlin narrowed his eyes slightly"and you're .... certain?"Merlin asked as Simon nodded "he's my best friend ... i trust him with my life"
"... And my dad's one of the most intelligent guys ever known, I am both"
Makarov listened to Merlin after he grabbed his lips to make him stop ranting, Thought Projection Mavis earned a sweat drop. Makarov listened to Merlin about his history, but he didn't look surprised about August. "If you have seen August and Gildarts fought like crazy," Mavis commented, just as Natsu arrived with Simon. Natsu blinked and listened to Simon about Precht, known as Hades. Natsu widen his eyes, he remembered Hades nearly annihilated both Hikari and Tsubaki. Makarov was shocked, but Natsu was... not very happy about Hades, "Hades is reborn! How the h*ll should I believe you, after he destroyed Fairy Tail!!?" he yelled as he burst in flames. Mavis gave Natsu a glare similar to Mirajane's satan soul, adding with her lightning, "We all forgave him," she said in anger, which Natsu and Makarov were afraid of her. Although Natsu suddenly noticed about Mavis, "Wait the minute, I recognize that look, it reminds me of Mira when she was young before we all thought Lisanna died. Why the h*ll do you have lightning? Only Laxus is lightning dragon slayer,""HaHa! That's my great-granddaughter alright! Maybe same goes to my great-grandson, if he has his mom's devil glare!!" Makarov laughed about how he was proud of his grandson giving his great-grandkids. Natsu tried to put the pieces together, then he suddenly jaw dropped and pointing at Mavis, who blinked, "You're Mira and Laxus' kid!" "So you are saying Hades reborn like Mavis?" said Yami as he tried to control his anger, urged not to march where Precht is locate and give him a hard punch. Lupus kept his hands up to calm his father down, "We all forgive him for what he did, he's not the same person that you remembered when he worked with Xehanort. Besides he's no longer Hades, he will stick with Precht," he said to him calmly. Yami glared at his son, "Why the h*ll should I believe you?""I killed someone and regret of my sins I have committed, and I have reborn as a second chance. Precht felt the same, so that's why he and I deserve the second chance to atone our sins," Mavis explains that she had similar crime she committed, like she killed Yury's wife and Makarov's mother, Rita, from her death magic like Ankhseram cursed Zeref. Yami looked at Mavis for a while, then he slowly soften his expression with eyes closed, "You and Precht did commit the crime, but I still have a word with Precht when I see him. I have to figure out on my own," he said to them with his hand on his forehead to figure out on his own. Sora grew worried as she soften her bright blue eyes, "Dad..."
"My mom is one of the strongest warriors in the world ..."
hearing the others reactions, Simon remained stern "so much for keeping that secret" Simon muttered and then looked straight at Natsu "weather you believe or not is your choice, i only speak the truth ... but know this: if anyone tries to attack him, not only will i defend him but the other Guardians will" he said as Merlin raised an eyebrow"Guardians?"he said slightly amused "the Jedi team i'm with: the Guardians of the Galaxy, ironily we got that name after nearly being destroyed by the Sith Emperor ... the guy had to boast to the known systems that our assault failed, ironically thats when Onyx and i struck him down ... but that's not important-" he said then had a renewed 'Erza glare' as he looked at the three men then produced his lightsaber keyblade and brought the blade close to Yami's neck "the important thing is: Precht is my friend. i'm a Jedi that's true but i'm also a member of Fairy Tail and we protect our friends" he said then looked at the men of Fairy Tail as though he had a flash of anger and disappointment "or was that all a lie?" he asked as Merlin gazed at Simon for a while before exhaling and looked at Mokarov"yesterdays enemy can be tomorrow's friend"
"... And my dad's one of the most intelligent guys ever known, I am both"
Natsu listened to Simon, yet Yami made no reaction about the blade against his neck. Natsu frown and gazed to down, he used to never forgive Jellal for using Erza as sacrifice back at Tower of Heaven until first Nirvana's activation, Jellal offered him his golden fire and nearly risk his life from Zero's dark magic to defeat Zero. He place his hand on his pink hair, "Fine, I use to not to forgive Jellal. I should probably do the same to Hades," he said to Simon, until real Mavis gave Natsu a Lightning Dragon Iron Fist, "We all call him Precht, or Second," she correct him and Natsu was smashed against the bricked wall. Yami watched that happen and rose his right eyebrow, he looked at Simon, "Like I said, I have to figure out on my own. I need to wrap my head around," he said to him, and kept his thought about Precht. Sora and Lupus glanced at each other, hoping their dad will forgive Precht, Thought Project Mavis disappeared. Makarov heard Merlin, ignoring Natsu smashed against the brick wall, "If those brats said are true about Precht being different than we remembered, then I should forgive him."
"Y'ever wonder what what stars are? Where light comes from?"
Ven crossed his arms at Terra and jabbed his thumb at Aqua "i think she's the smart one" he said then gave Terra a grin and ran to the door opening it. they had moved to the lower town of the city of Crocus, and it was absolutly breathtaking "wow ... this place is-""MY CABBAGES!"someone shouted. Ven turned and realized the phone booth had landed on a vegetable vendor's cart "uh ... oops"
"besides the fact it's a dumb name?"Cy'la asked as J'uko just smirked and returned attention to Precht "what are you thinking?"
seeing Mavis punch Natsu, Simon developed an anime sweat drop with a serious look at his friend as he deactivated his lightsaber "hey Livewire, calm down" he said as Alex looked at him"Livewire?"he asked as Simon just chuckled "just something i made up, though it fits: dragon slayer recklessness, her mother's temper. well when she looses it anyway. plus her electric powers" he said with a shrug as Alex just chuckled"you kids do this with everyone?"
"i've forgiven quite a few people most would consider unwise ... my wife for example and she did change thanks to Soris ... perhaps we should have faith that the next generation will be better in more ways than one"
as Merlin spoke with Mokarov, Devoe Justeen watched from his wheelchair with a smirk that seemed more sinister as he gazed at the mother lacrima seeing the stories and memories being recorded.
"In your hand, take this key. And so long as you have the makings"
Terra turned his head toward Ven with his left eyebrow raised. He knew Aqua was the smarter one but he knew one thing,"I'm still the stronger one, shorty" Terra then softly chuckled before watching Ven open the door to show they have arrived. As he rubbed the back of his head softly, noticing how beautiful this place was. He walked out slowly, stepping down before hearing the merchant yell out for his cabbages. This made his left eyebrow slightly twitch before he spoke softly,"I...ugh...sorry about that.." He then walked further away, closer to Ven as he made sure to keep his distance away from the man crying over his cabbages,"Lets find Merlin and get out of here...don't want to make too much of a scene.."
"then through this simple act of taking, its wielder you shall one day be made.."
"Spirits aren't shields...
