Summary: Tenrou Island was obliterated. Erased from existence by the Dragon King, Acnologia, leaving behind no survivors. Or so the citizens of Earthland believed. A vicious twist of fate has scattered Fairy Tail's mages into an unknown world, where the concept of magic is laughed at but phone snails and devil fruits are an acceptable every day thing. Stuck for an unspecified amount of time, the mages try their best to assimilate in this new land and survive until they can get home.
A/N: Wow. Three years since I wrote my first (and last) Fanfiction story, and during that time lots of those damn plot bunnies have manifested, wreaking havoc in my brain, until finally one of them managed to give me enough inspiration to write again. And alas, here is what I have formed! Feast your eyes upon this magnificent piece of garbage!
Heh, not really. This is just a draft I managed to cook up with the short amount of free time a health magnet high school gives me, one written at the beginning of the year. I'm not sure if I will actually go ahead and continue it, maybe if I get enough encouragement to put my fingers on my keyboard. Meanwhile, I will just leave this here.
The reason I decided to finally post it is because it has been bothering me for a while. Here it has been sitting on my computer for the longest time, waiting for its opportunity to shine, until finally I decided 'meh, why not? What have I got to lose?' It's not my greatest work, but here you go.
Disclaimer: Why would people even believe for a second I own this stuff? If I did, Ace would've never died and the seven year arc would've never happened. Though if I did erase the time-skip arc from the face of the planet, this story would've never come about. Then again, why would I care if I own Fairy Tail and could do what I want with it? Ok, now I'm rambling. Point is, I don't own these well-crafted manga/anime that are just so amazing.
Now, unveil the curtains of sanity!

Prologue: Let's Join Hands, Into a New Tomorrow
Tenrou Island. The holy land of Fairy Tail. An island that thrived with lush vegetation and is known as the resting place of the first Fairy Tail Guild Master, Mavis Vermillion. It was a treasure of the guild. One very well taken care of and protected.
Known for its hot, summer climate, it is the place where the Fairy Tail mages held their S-Class Mage Promotion Trials, an annual guild tradition, wherein selected Fairy Tail Mages of remarkable abilities are given the chance to become an elite S-Class Mage - a position worthy of their exceptional Magical Powers. It is comprised of several trials designed to test the skills and competence of the candidates.
Every year, a new S-Class mage is selected from whoever passes this test. And each year, a celebration is made for the winner. But this year, X794, things won't go as such.
*BOOM*
What was supposed to be an annual tradition, turned into a fight for their lives as the Fairy Tail Mages participating in the trials found themselves facing off against one of the strongest Dark Guilds in all of Fiore.
Grimoire Heart.
With their trial postponed, the mages fought bravely and vigorously against the guild's Dark Mages. After a long, arduous battle, the Fairies became the victors, and the remaining Grimoire Heart Mages ran with their tail tucked between their legs. Including the former Guild Master of Fairy Tail-and traitor- Hades.
Unfortunately, just when it seemed that the Fairies could go back home and resume the trials some other time, another dreadful presence made itself known.
*CRASH*
Acnologia. The Dragon of Apocalypse. A beast that reeked of death, destruction, and complete sadism. Also known as the Dragon King, it obliterated everything in its wake, leaving nothing behind.
And right now, it wasn't leaving without destroying Tenrou Island, and the Fairies within it.
ROOAAR!
There it was. In all its terrifying glory. A gargantuan, mastodonic Dragon covered in scales black as night, which, in turn, were decorated by spiraling, blue markings. Its tremendous raw power flowed from him in terrifying waves that were felt by all those within the island. Its intents and purpose was obvious: to wreak havoc and destroy those with the stamp of the Fairy Tail guild.
"I WON'T LET YOU PASS ANY FURTHER AHEAD!"
But, the Fourth Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov Dreyar, would not let that happen. Sensing the destructive capabilities of the dark beast, the Guild Master of Fairy Tail used his Titan Magic to match the dragon in size and strength in order to protect those he considered his sons and daughters, and immediately engaged with Acnologia to hold him back and give his children a chance to escape.
"BECAUSE BEHIND ME… ARE ALL MY SHITTY BRATS!"
Despite his unwavering determination and resolve, Makarov had not had even a moments rest after his excruciating battle against Grimoire Heart before Acnologia attacked, making his injuries a big inconvenience that the monstrous dragon took advantage of.
"Bgaaah!"
The Titan Magic-user coughed up blood as he felt the giant beast drive its head into his wounds, pushing him back and taking advantage of Makarov's previous injuries. It was evident, even from the beginning, that the great Guild Master of Fairy Tail, would not win this battle.
ROOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRRR!
With one final devastating push, Acnologia knocked the giant man to the floor, on his back.
"Gah!"
The struggle was over. Acnologia stood over the wounded Makarov, roaring on his face and raising its clawed, scaly hand, with the intent to finish this battle for good. And yet, despite staring at his certain doom, Makarov couldn't help but let a small grin form on his face.
'For the first time… I was finally acting.. like a real parent."
His grin turned into a full-blown smile that covered half of his face.
'Now, I have no more regrets…"
Because he knew, that even though he would not make it back to see his dear guild one more time, at least his children would be sa-
*Tap tap tap tap tap*
!
The sound of running feet reached his ears, and he felt his eyes widen in dread. Turning his head to the side, he saw what he had feared the most would happen.
Natsu. Natsu running towards the gargantuan dragon, a determined look on his face, before he jumped up its arm and began to climb it.
Acnologia, noticing the little insect that was crawling up his arm, roared in dismay and began to flail his arm wildly in an attempt to losing the Fire Dragon-Slayer. Natsu, however, was a stubborn one, as he has shown all of his guildmates. And Makarov knew, that he had been stupid to even think that Natsu, or any of his Fairies for that matter, would leave him behind even if he ordered them to.
"Give… our old man back…"
Natsu clung persistently to Acnologia's arm, and continued to crawl towards his gargantuan face, panting and sweating with effort.
Now transformed back into his normal, small size, Makarov stared at Natsu's clinging form in shock. "Natsu…"
"CHAAAAAAAAARGE!"
The sound of battle cries from the Fairy Tail mages reached his ears and the next thing he knew, all of the Fairy Tail mages who had been taking part in the S-Class Trials, were attacking Acnologia.
"Y-you little…"
"I just want you to know, I was against this."
Makarov jumped slightly in surprise, and looked to the side to see his grandson, Laxus Dreyar, smiling warmly at him.
"But," he continued, "Do you really think they're the kind of people who can run away and leave an old geezer behind? It's your guild after all."
Makarov felt wet tears forming at the corner of his eyes, and his form began to shake uncontrollably. Yeah, he knew they wouldn't leave him behind. Knew that they would come back and fight for him. 'Damn the consequences,' that was what Fairy Tail mages were known for. Still, that didn't stop him from cursing at them for their recklessness and his own foolishness.
"You idiots…" he sobbed.
And as the Fairies continued to fight bravely against the Apocalyptic Dragon, nobody took notice of the presence that took form within the forest. A young girl, smiling warmly at the events unfolding before her. She was very young. A child. With very long, wavy, blonde hair that reached down to her bare feet with a single lock pointing upwards, large green eyes that appear to have no irises and a slight child-like build. She wore a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest were three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. Each series of these outlined in a hot pink. She also wore wing-like adornments around her ears and small hoop earrings.
The young girl clasped her hands together and closed her eyes as her figure began to glow.
Meanwhile, Acnologia, shook off the Fairy Tail mages as if they were flies. The force was so strong it sent them scattering many feet away from him, making them skid against the ground.
"Uwaaaaah!" "Kyaaaaaah!"
"Is everyone alright?!" Erza asked as she got up from the ground.
"None of our attacks are working!" Mirajane pointed out. And it was true. The dragon shook off all of their attacks as if they were nothing but mere dust hitting its body. They had a better chance of throwing down the sun by tossing pebbles at it than actually injuring this dragon.
'This thing… isn't using the same strength it used when it fought me. Its just playing with them.' Gildarts shook with dread at the thought, sweat dripping down his brow.
The mages stared at the dragon in great trepidation as it began to extend its massive wings before taking off to the air, causing a gust of wind to hit the mages in the face and leaving a great crater on the floor beneath him.
"It flew!" cried out Pantherlily.
It stopped when it was a good distance above the island, pulled its massive head back, and opened up its maw. Everybody's eyes widened when a blue type of energy began to form in its mouth.
"It's a breathe attack!" yelled out Gajeel.
"Is it planning on blasting the entire island?!"
Erza cursed under her breathe as she realized the destruction such an attack can cause at that distance. "Everyone who can use defensive magic, put the power you've got into it, now!" She immediately took action to protect her fellow guildmates and herself in what would be a devastating attack. One which would most likely, wipe out the entire island.
"There's not enough time to make seals!" said Freed.
"There's plenty of defensive magic that does not require writing or symbols!" pointed out Levy.
"Everyone! Focus all of your energy on Fried!" yelled Lisanna.
"Let's join hands!" Mirajane stretched out her hands, and both of her siblings took hold of them.
"We can't let it end here!" Natsu yelled determinedly, and took Lucy's and Erza's hand.
"Okay! We'll never give up!" cried Lucy, tears forming at the edge of her eyes as she took Gray's hand.
"Everyone, join your power together as one! Lets show it the power of our guild!" yelled Gray as he took Juvia's hand.
One by one they took each other's hand, forming a circle as friends, as a guild, as a family.
Laxus held out his hand for his grandfather to take, who stared at it with tears at the corner of his eyes, before finally taking it. Those tears began to flow freely as he stared at his loving children, holding hands together, showing the strong bond that they held, and letting Acnologia know, that if he took them down, they would not go down alone and without hope.
"We'll all go home together," he smiled as tears continued to flow freely on his face.
The destructive blue light that had formed on Acnologia's maw was released and began to descend upon them, getting closer and closer each second.
'To Fairy Tail.'
They all closed their eyes.
The blast fell upon Tenrou Island, covering it in entirely in a blinding light, destroying-no eradicating it entirely. The ocean rose up upon the impact creating waves that rocked the ships nearby, its passengers not even taking note as they stared in shock and silent horror at the dome of light that began to recede.
When the light cleared, nothing was left but a crater on the ocean floor that the water began to cover. The holy land of Tenrou Island, which once stood in the ocean like a pearl in a clam, was gone. Obliterated.
Along with its Fairy Tail mages.
It was on this date, January X794, that Tenrou Island was completely eradicated by the Dark Dragon King Acnologia. No survivors of the devastating event were found. Many may say that they were as good as dead. But, truth is, they weren't.
They just weren't in Fiore anymore.
In fact, they weren't even in Earthland at all.
Pain.
That was the first thing she felt when consciousness began to drift in. It spread across her whole body, excruciating in its intensity. It permeated her mind and filled her body with gripping, relentless agony.
It hurt.
But... pain meant she was alive. So in retrospect, one could say that pain was actually a... good thing to feel right now. The fact that she could actually feel meant that she had survived the ordeal, and live to breath another day. If only it didn't hurt so much.
Wait…
Survived what?
Her mind was blurry. Her memories were scattered around in her head like a broken mirror, unable to be put together to solve the puzzle. The last thing she remembered was… was…
Tenrou Island…
The S-Class Trials…
Cana…
Grimoire Heart…
And… and…
A giant dragon. A beam of light. Her holding hands with her fellow guildmates. Despair. Fear. She remembered…
*Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.*
The ground was shaking and with it her body. She could feel something approaching slowly, but it was large and powerful. Extremely large if it could cause such vibrations. Her eyelids fluttered open, revealing a pair of brown pooled eyes staring lethargically ahead. Her eyesight was blurry. A sign of a concussion. All she could see was green. Green everywhere as far as her eyes could see. Except for one small spot in her vision that saw a small pink circle.
The sounds grew louder and closer, and before she knew it, a giant foot appeared before her sights, stopping right next to the pink circle.
"Oh, what's this? A pair of humans?"
A gruff, loud, and booming voice spoke. An unfamiliar one at that. But, it's not like Lucy Heartfilia has ever encountered people with such big feet. Except of course for her guild master.
She wanted to speak. Ask the voice for help. Ask it what that small pink circle was. Because although her pitiful eyes couldn't see it clearly, she was sure she knew what it was. Who he was. But she just wanted to make sure.
But she couldn't speak. Couldn't even feel her mouth move in an attempt to form coherent words. Only a small whimper managed to escape her lips; one she was sure did not reach the ears of the person before her.
She could feel her consciousness beginning to slip away, making her eyes slowly begin to close despite her attempts to keep them open.
"Do not worry, little ones. Elbaf's strongest warrior, Dorry, will take good care of you…"
Somehow, despite the intimidating volume of the voice, it comforted her. Made her feel that she will be okay. She concentrated on the small pink circle that twitched slight before finally closing her eyes. That they would be okay.
And before her consciousness abandoned her completely, with the promise that she will awake soon enough and in better physical state, she managed to whisper one word:
"Natsu."
Prologue End
So… love it? Hate it? Like it? 'Meh' it? Keep into account that I wrote this a long time ago when my writing was not as good as it is now and only recently gathered up the courage to post it. It is very probable that I will continue it and update sometime in two weeks. I already had part of the next chapter written months ago when I began the story and will continue it if I feel motivated enough to do so. If I did any mistakes, please point them out to me, like I said I wrote this a long time ago and didn't bother to proof read, so if I screwed anything up, or my writing needs improvement somewhere, constructive criticism is appreciated.
Also, I will give an explanation as to why the Fairy Tail mages landed in the One Piece world, do not worry. I simply decided not to put it in the Prologue, but an explanation WILL COME!
Anyway, I have recently began watching a new anime on Netflix that goes by the title 'The Devil is a Part-Timer' (Hataraku Maou-sama) and another one of those damn plot bunnies has appeared. Why is there only one story in the 'Hataraku-Maou-sama' and 'Blue Exorcist' Crossover Archive?! Seriously, it's like these two anime were made for each other. They're practically begging to be put together, but so far only one author has written a story of both (which is pretty good by the way). So, this plot bunny that has been ravaging inside my head like a crazy animal has become so insistent that I have begun writing a crossover fanfic of these two awesometastic anime. Which sucks 'cause I've been working on this story right here, and a Teen Wolf/Arrow crossover that should come out sometime by the end of the month. Damn you plot bunnies!
On another note, here is a preview of my next chapter that will probably be up in two weeks.
Probably…
Preview:
"He literally appeared out of nowhere."
"A devil fruit?"
"It's… possible. But so far nobody has figured out what happened. It's just speculation at this point."
Vice-Admiral Momonga rubbed his temples and sighed in frustration. When he had been given orders by Fleet Admiral Sengoku to head Sabaody Archipelago in order to investigate a disturbance reported by the marines stationed there, he had expected it to be a very easy task. Come and go.
He hadn't expected it to be this much hassle.
According to the marines stationed at Sabaody, Groves 50-79 experienced a minor earthquake that although was not devastating, it was strong enough to be felt and managed to scatter the furniture and supplies of the base all over the place.
It wasn't the earthquake that bothered them, though. It was the strange light that appeared above the sky at the same time, one which nearly blinded all the citizens in the Archipelago before disappearing mere seconds later.
Which was when he appeared.
An unconscious man lying down right at the local marine headquarters' front steps. Literally. It was as if heaven itself had placed him there.
Momonga had never seen him before in his life. Nobody has actually. He wasn't a wanted man that was for sure. But similar facial features to one of the Yonkos made him believe that one of his family members was. Nevertheless, he would have to consult Sengoku about this. Even if the guy wasn't responsible for any criminal activity, Momonga had the feeling that he would still be facing charges for being related to one who has.
He stared at the group of marines huddled around the strange man checking for any injuries, which at this point seemed to be minor. He was tall, with shoulder-length orange hair and a stubbly beard. His clothing, though torn, consisted of a long, black, high-collared cloak with shoulder plates, loose fitting pants, and an armored waist-guard bearing plates similar to the ones on his shoulders, tucked inside simple boots. There was also a strange black stamp on his chest that Momonga had never seen before in his life, perhaps it was a sign of allegiance to a type of group nobody's ever heard of. He knew he hadn't.
The most notable thing about him, though, were the his prosthetic limbs, his left arm and leg to be specific. Some of the doctors were examining said prosthetics carefully, making sure that they didn't ruin anything within them that would mess up their function. It was not uncommon for people of the sea—pirates and marines alike—to lose limbs during their travels. Still, most usually replaced them with wooden prosthetics, especially pirates because mechanical ones were hard to come by and expensive.
Momonga was usually a very serious man who never let his emotions overtake him on the job, but he couldn't help but feel slight sympathy for a man he was sure never caused any wrong, but was going to be sentenced just for being related to a monster.
"Who would've thought that Red-Haired Shanks had a brother?" he muttered.
And then the man's eyes flew open...
And all hell broke loose.
And now I ask of thee, review. Pretty please.
Update(10/5/14): Barely posted the chapter and already I'm fixing a whole bunch of mistakes I caught -_-/...
