3RD POV:
Lucy"AAAAAAGH!!! I BROKE (Y/N)!!!"
Lucy frantically tried to grab (y/n)'s shadow clone and piece it back together before hearing another voice
Juvia"don't worry (y/n)-sama is safe with me"
Lucy then saw a shadow from one of the chairs get bigger as (y/n) and juvia rose up from it juvia being on top of him for some odd reason and both being wet mostly juvia
(A/n)"heh")
Lucy"why are you on top of him like that...?"
Juvia"that's right (y/n)-sama was with me alone in his shadow not you but me"
Lucy"uh-huh I can see that..."
Gray was then launched out of the shadow behind the bar with a missing shirt
(Y/n)"where did your shirt go? You can't even store things in my shadows besides me"
Gray"that's besides the point that guy got away and where's natsu and erza?"
Lucy"I don't know where natsu is but erza..."
Just then a giant flame was see destroying everything around it as the group saw it was natsu's flame
(Y/n)"...notebook"
Plumede started writing down all the objects that got destroyed by the flame
Plumede"slot machine,20 tables, 50 chairs,
Cards..."
Gimodelo"WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!"
Natsu"IT HURTS!!!!"
Lucy"natsu!"
Natsu"WHO WOULD SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE MOUTH!!? THAT HURT IT COULD HAVE DONE SOME REAL DAMAGE!!!"
(Y/n)"stop shouting or I'll do some true damage to your mouth"
Natsu"DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN GET AWAY!!!!"
Natsu then ran out of the entrance of the casino following the scent of erza's kidnappers
Gray"follow him with natsu's nose he'll be able to track them down!"
(Y/N)'S POV:
I was able to catch the scent as well looks like master Irene's dragon slayer training is useful for tracking people down
Time Skip
Gray"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE!!!!"
Gimodelo"I believe it's called the ocean"
Juvia"we've been drifting aimlessly for quite some time..."
Lucy"hey natsu you sure it's around here somewhere!"
Natsu"y...y...yeah...."
Gray"come on natsu we're depending on your nose here gray grip of yourself!"
Juvia"to think a powerful mage as miss erza would be defeated..."
Gray"AIN'T NO WAY SHE WAS BEATEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT ERZA..."
(Y/n)"gray how about whining about the situation and putting your anger towards others you get a hold of yourself and think"
Gray"get a hold of myself...? HOW CAN I WHEN ERZA WAS KIDNAPPED AND HOW CAN YOU BE SO DAMN CALM DON'T YOU TREAT HER LIKE A SISTER!!!!?"
(Y/n)"I still do and don't you ever question that everyone here is tensed from the kidnapping"
Gray"Tch"
Gray sat down still angry I noticed Lucy had something on her mind
(Y/n)"got something to say Lucy?"
Lucy"yeah... those guys they said they were erza's friends... when it comes to erza no one knows much about her at all..."
She's right after many times I've comforted erza when we were kids she never seemed to open up about her past it must be a sensitive subject so I don't think about bringing it up
Lucy"oh!"
Gimodelo"what is it Lucy you see something?"
Lucy"yeah look everyone a tower over there!"
(Y/n)(in mind)'of course it is I made sure to sail is this way without looking suspicious'
(Y/n)"we should keep our guard up we don't know what might be on that island"
We finally got to the island and saw a giant staircase leading to an entrance but it was heavily guarded as usual we hid behind some rocks so we wouldn't get caught
Gray"that's a lot of guards"
Natsu"who cares let's plough right through them!"
Lucy"no way! They got erza and happy if we charge in we'll put them in danger"
Gimodelo"that's why we got water girl to find a different way"
Lucy"water girl?"
Lucy looked confused and just in cue the lovely juvia rose up from the water behind us
Juvia"juvia has found another way into the towers basement through the water"
(Y/n)"good job juvia"
Gimodelo"good work water girl hahahaha"
Juvia"it's about 10 minutes to get there underwater but holding your breath for that long won't be a problem right?"
Natsu"10 minutes is nothing"
Gray"yup"
(Y/n)"me and Gimodelo will make it in 5 minutes"
Gimodelo"10 minutes isn't a problem at all"
Lucy"THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!"
Juvia then held out her hand holding a water bubble
Juvia"please wear this it'll enclose your heads in water that holds oxygen inside so you can breathe underwater"
Natsu"ooooh! By the way who are you?"
Gimodelo"these should make us go by faster then"
(Y/n)"let's hurry now juvia lead the way"
Juvia"yes (y/n)-sama~!"
We dove downward into the water following juvia from behind after a while we made it into the basement area
Gray"this is the basement of the tower?"
Lucy"erza and happy must be somewhere"
Gimodelo"I hear footsteps approaching us"
Guard"WHOTHE HELL ARE YOU GUYS!!?"
Lucy"oh crap!"
Gray"looks like we'll just have to fight them"
(Y/n)"I'll make this quick"
I started surrounding myself with my shadows
Natsu"who the hell are we!?"
Natsu went ahead and destroyed the bridge they were all on knocking them to the ground while also flinging them
Natsu"WE'RE FROM FAIRY TAIL YOU MORONS!!!"
Lucy"open gate of the crab cancer!"
Lucy sent out cancer in which eh quickly cut down an enemy while also making him bald
Two guards went to attack juvia with their blades but it only went through her
Guard"HUH!?"
Guard2"WHAT IS SHE!?"
Juvia reformed her half that got cut before making a swiping motion with her hand causing a giant lash of water to hit them
Juvia"water slice"
Gray kicked down more guards from the bridge before putting his hands together
Gray"ICE MAKE: HAMMER!!"
(Y/n)"shadow magic: territorial pierce"
I used my magic on the shadows around us as they all then pierced the rest of the guards quickly as they each went in one direction
after we got rid of the guards the door opened
Natsu"some sort of door opened up there!"
Gray"they're telling us to come up!"
(Y/n)"they think this is a game and we're the pieces to it"
After entering through the door we ended up in a seems to be a large dining hall
Natsu"SQUARE UP BASTARD WHERE ARE YOU!!!!"
Lucy"stop we don't want the enemy to know where we are!"
Natsu"mph!"
Lucy"don't yell!"
Gray"we only went crazy underground because no one was around we'll have to sneak for now"
(Y/n)"wrong they already know where we are if they were able to open the door for us"
Juvia"the door was not opened by someone on this side it's being controlled by magic remotely"
Gimodelo"that proves even more that they're completely aware of where we are"
Lucy"with all of this true then what's the point in opening the door for us?"
(Y/n)"our best choice of plan is to confuse him of our location"
(Y/n) clone"like make a clone of ourselves"
Gray"yeah you're right.... Why is there two of you now?"
Juvia"TWO (Y/N)-SAMAS!!?"
She tried to hug my clone but instead it dispersed turning back into a shadow
(Y/n)"sorry but there is only one of me"
Gimodelo"hahahaha! You're funny water girl!"
Just then more guards came rushing in though I felt a familiar mana coming from behind them as well so I let my guard down to see who it was
Guards"THERE THEY ARE THE INTRUDERS!!!"
Natsu"these guys just don't know when to quit"
Guard"GAH!"
(Y/n)"yup it's them alright"
Everyone else looked confused seeing the guards being knocked out one by one finally revealing erza that was the one who took them down
Gray"ERZA!"
Lucy"thank goodness you're ok!"
Juvia"she's... she's so cool"
Erza"wh-what are you guys doing here!?"
Natsu"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHY!? WE'D BE A DISGRACE TO FAIRY TAIL IF WE LEFT ONE OF OUR NAKAMA BEHIND!!!"
Erza then noticed juvia was with us causing juvia to get nervous
Juvia"um... juvia is here because we'll..."
Erza"go back"
(Y/n)"no"
Lucy"but erza..."
Natsu"THEY'VE GOT HAPPY IN HERE SOMEWHERE TOO!!! WE CAN'T JUST GO BACK NOW!!!"
Erza"happy's here? Don't tell me it's milianna..."
Gimodelo"so it's one of those situations"
Natsu"WHERE IS HE!?"
Erza"I... have no idea"
Natsu"ok got it!"
Gray"what do you mean you got it!?"
Natsu"HAPPY'S WAITING FOR US!!!"
Natsu then ran off into the way the guards came
Natsu"I'M COMING HAPPY!!!"
Gray"that moron running off on his own again..."
Lucy"let's follow him!"
Before they could go after him erza stopped them with her sword
Erza"you can't. Go back now"
Gray"erza!"
Erza"milianna is the biggest act lover she wouldn't hurt happy I'll take care of Natsu and bring them back you guys get away from here now"
Lucy"we can't do that! We're not leaving without you!"
Erza"this is my problem I don't want you guys getting involved"
(Y/n)"too bad you don't have a say in this sis we're helping you out"
Lucy"erza... what is Thai tower and who's this jellal guy?"
Erza looked like she was becoming more tense so it is one of those situations this tower involves her past and past nakama
Gimodelo"Lucy don't push her she doesn't need to answer if it's getting her this tensed up"
Lucy"I know you said those guys were your nakama before but we're your nakama now we'll always be here for you erza"
Erza"g... go..."
(Y/n)"erza don't you remember that day I told you I would protect you that day we formed our siblings bond"
Flash back
The sun was setting over the guild and (y/n) had just got back from doing a quest
(Y/n)"This should be enough jewel to get the book"
As he was walking near a lake he heard someone sobbing curiosity got the best of him and he looked to see erza crying beside the lake
(Y/n)"erza..."
Sioto"what is it sir (y/n)?"
(Y/n)"erza's crying... I'm going to check on her"
He went down towards erza before sitting next to erza
Erza"go away..."
(Y/n)"don't worry it's just me"
Erza"oh... (y/n) what are you doing here -sniffle-"
(Y/n)"I was walking by and noticed you were crying, so what's wrong"
Erza"nothing please leave"
(Y/n)"erza I'm not and idiot and it doesn't matter what's making you cry will make me look at you differently we all have our tough times"
Erza"..."
(Y/n)-sigh-"my family was a wealthy one that was gifted by the shadow beasts long ago"
Erza looked at (y/n) a bit confused on what he's getting at
(Y/n)"my father married my mother whom she was a daughter of that gifted bloodline she was I trusted with the shadow devils sioto, and waigner she was the one who summoned plumede people were scared of us since we were using ancient devil magic when becoming one with our devils"
He started to tense up a bit while clenching his fists together
(Y/n)"my mother gave birth to twins me and my brother morgen faust he was a nice brother while being a little shy he wanted people to not fear our devils I on the other hand did whatever I wanted to but still had a good heart I promised him I'd become the strongest so I can help him persuade others our devils mean no harm but..."
Erza"but what?"
Erza was now a bit shocked that (y/n) was telling her his backstory even though he barely is near anyone
(Y/n)"but one day the house was burnt down along with my family... I was busy talking to a blue haired girl that looked like she was sad I wanted to talk to her since she looked beautiful after I did I walked home and saw smoke coming from the houses direction I ran as fast as I could to see what was happening and to my horror I saw my brother under some rubble of the house while it was burning I rushed in to try and save him but before I could the house finally collapsed Gimodelo saved me and took me to an open field but I was too weak and slow..."
Erza"why... why tell me this..."
(Y/n)"because I show you my pain you show me yours I'm here for you Erza you are not alone you have me and the guild to depend on I will protect you"
Erza started to tear up again from this (y/n) hugged her close she hugged back tightening her grip
Erza"thank you (y/n)... for being the brother I've never had"
(Y/n)"you don't have to worry anymore Erza I'll be your shield protecting you and keeping you safe"
Erza"thank you... brother"
(Y/n) was set back a little from this but liked it in a way it's like a sister he's never had
(Y/n)"no problem sister..."
Flash back end
(Y/n)"I said I'll be your shield to protect and comfort you I meant it and I will keep that saying"
Erza"thank you (y/n)... but in this fight whether I win or lose I'll disappear from this world no matter what..."
Lucy"what...!?"
Gray"w...what do you mean!?"
Erza"this is an unavoidable future so I will tell you everything I know while I'm still here"
Erza"this tower is known as the tower of heaven otherwise known as the "R system" more than a decade ago a cult who believed in black magic tried building this tower whose magic can bring back the dead"
Lucy"bring the dead to life?"
Erza"this project wasn't sanctioned bythe government or the magic council so they rounded people up to use them as slaves for the construction... when I was younger I was one of those workers"
Erza explained her backstory and everything that happened to her and that her kidnappers and jellal use to be her friends after telling us everything that happened she was tearing up
Erza"I... I want to fight jellal"
Gray"hold on Erza that zeref person you just mentioned..."
Gimodelo"the most brutal and cold dark mage in the history of the magic world and a sinner for trying to copy the shadow devils with his demons he created from "the book of zeref"
Lucy"indeed also the demon lullaby summoned was from the book of zeref as well"
Erza"not only that but as well as deliora was from the book of zeref too"
(Y/n)"he can create these demons easily the only way to get rid of them is to either kill them seal them, or use devil magic to properly dispose of them"
Juvia"that's the zeref jellal plans to revive?"
Erza"I'm not sure what his motive is... but according to my old nakama when zeref is revived they would become rulers of 'paradise' "
Lucy"but when you put it like that I really don't understand the action of your old friends they said you are a traitor but the real traitor seems to be jellal"
Erza"I don't know what jellal has been filling their heads with since I escaped... but I abandoned them for 8 years I guess that's kind of betrayal"
(Y/n)"no it's not he had the upper hand and you wanted to protect your nakama you were frail back then you didn't know what to do"
Gimodelo"... someone's here"
Shou"big sis..."
We all turned around to see what seems to be one of erza's old nakama what ticked me off was that he called her big sis even though he's helping the others sacrifice her
Erza"shou..."
Shou"YOU BETRAYED US JELLAL TOLD EVERYONE THIS IS THE FATE OF THOSE WHO CANNOT HANDLE THE PROPER FORM OF 'MAGIC,!! YOU WENT MAD WITH POWER AND GAVE UP EVERYTHING TO DO WITH US!!!"
Gray"jellal told you that?"
Lucy"does that sound like the Erza you knew would have done?"
Shou"YOU FOOLS DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT US!!!"
(Y/n)"shut up and stop whining like a spoiled brat"
Shou"WHAT DO YOU KN-
I quickly appeared in front of him glaring down at him while releasing my mana that seemed to stop his talking
(Y/n)"if you had the pride of calling Erza a big sister to you then you must have had a massive amount of trust in her right?"
Shou"b...but she"
(Y/n)"your weak for not even thinking to yourself would erza do this? Of course she wouldn't why would someone who also suffered your pain want to leave the ones she loved behind"
Shou"if... IF BIG SIS IS RIGHT THEN EVERYTHING JELLAL SAID WAS A LIE!!?"
Simon"that's right..."
Shou"SIMON!?"
Gray"bastard!"
Juvia"hold on gray-san He attacked (y/n)-samas clone in the casino even though they both made eye contact when he made the clone"
Gimodelo"which meaning he wanted us to come"
Simon"correct I didn't plan to kill him then I made it look like I killed (y/n)'s clone so that I'd fool shou and the others"
Shou"you were trying to trick us!?"
Simon"you, milianna, and Wally have been fooled by jellal I waited for the right time and pretended to believe him also"
Erza"Simon you..."
Simon"I believed erza from the beginning"
Shou"how could... you trust her like that... how? Why can't I trust big sis, trust her liek you do?"
Shou"DAMNIT!!!! UWAAAGH!!!!"
Gimodelo"is he really having a hard time believing them..."
Erza"I know it's hard to accept everything right now but through these eight years I never forgot about you guys I couldn't do anything I was too weak I'm sorry"
Erza was now comforting shou in a warm embrace while he was still crying
Simon"but you're ready now isn't that right?"
Erza now stood up with determination in her eyes I couldn't help but smile everything is now going as planned to beat this blue haired bastard
Simon"I've been waiting for this moment now that all these powerful mages have gathered in one spot"
Lucy"powerful mages?"
Simon"we'll fight jellal with our combined strength but first we must stop salamander and Wally from clashing"
We all started making our way towards where natsu ran off to but I stopped feeling something what is this feeling everyone kept going but juvia stayed
Juvia"what's wrong (y/n)-sama?"
(Y/n)"this feeling..."
Gimodelo"hold on... sir (y/n) this feeling I sense it as well it's..."
(Y/n) and Gimodelo"a devil user is here"
