Hey all I am back.
So last time we ended off with Earthland Lucy meeting her Edo double.
!WARNING!
This chapter will be very quick paced at the beginning.
…
Anyway…

Whispers of a Ketteh (again): thanks, and don't worry, I got a new Laptop.
Shadow Wolf 15846: Thanks for the review and yeah.
YukiTheIceWolf: Thanks and will do my best. Not really. Some of the other Jinchuriki and Bijus may just make a Cameo later on or something though.
On with the story…
Previously…
"Why doesn't this work on our soldiers back home?" Lucy asked herself, thinking back on the number of times she tried using this tactic on guards during missions.
"LUCY!" she suddenly heard someone call out her name. Looking up, she saw Natsu, Wendy, Naruto, the Cats and Kurama approach her…followed by…
"ME?!" she screamed as she saw her Edolas double.
"Welcome to my world, bitch." Edo-Lucy said, having said the same damn thing earlier on. "And I am guessing this is your Lucy."
Chapter 11, Cities…Themeparks…weird Magic…what's next?
After being given the rundown on what happened to them, the three dragon slayers, 2 cats, one Biju and Edo-Lucy listened to Earthland Lucy's take on how she ended up here.
Apparently that talking grandpa clock of hers saved her from Anima, after which she met Mystogan who sent her here without much of an explanation.
Anyway, afterwards, Edo-Lucy was introduced to Gemini, and Natsu, being the moron he was, couldn't distinguish between the three Lucy's in the room, despite the fact that one had short hair (Edo-Lucy), one was dressed in Earthland Lucy's casual outfit (Gemini) and the third one was just wearing a towel (Lucy).
Even Naruto wondered what Natsu's IQ was.
Next morning, they found that Edo-Lucy had disappeared. She did however leave a message that told them to meet up with some friends of hers who would help them get to the Capital.
And of course, Natsu didn't read the 'be discrete' part.
In the end, whilst they were running from a large contingent of soldiers, a magic vehicle crashed through the soldiers, followed by a pair of roaring motorcycles.
The car's door opened revealing…a grinning Natsu?!
And on the motorcycles were Edo-Wendy and Edo-Naruto respectively.
The latter two grabbed their Earthland counterparts whilst the rest forced Natsu into the vehicle, after which they climbed in as well.
With a roar, the trio of cehicles left the army tasting dust.
Of course, Naruto and Natsu were immediately screwed, while Wendy was enjoying the wind blowing through her hair.
Edo-Natsu and Edo-Naruto chuckled and called their counterparts 'weak' whilst Edo-Wendy was going all 'Yahoo' each and every time she went over a bump in the road, giving the motorcycle some airtime.
The trio of vehicles stopped a few miles outside of the Capital, where a revived Natsu dragged his Edo counterpart out of the vehicle…only to discover that Edo-Natsu was a complete sissy outside of his vehicle.
Naruto meanwhile was throwing up in a nearby bush, with Wendy standing next to him patting his back.
On the way back, the biker couple and road rage driver encountered Edo-Lucy…whose greeting to Edo-Natsu was a couple of German Surplex's and other high damage wrestling techniques…all because he had ditched her after she asked for a small favour last time they saw each other.
Anyway, whilst infiltrating the city through some catacombs, Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Happy and Charla were captured by none other than Erza's counterpart.
Naruto and Kurama initially avoided capture by melding into the shadows and then proceeded to secretly follow the group…at least until Edo-Erza sensed his presence. She knocked them both
And whilst Charla, Happy and Kurama were sent to Skypeia, the land of the Exceeds, the three dragon slayers, one of whom was knocked out cold, were taken to a special cell while blondie was taken to a separate cell, where she made her complaints veeeery well known…
The soldiers guarding her handed in their resignation upon being relieved, stating that they didn't sign up for this shit.
Charla, Happy and Kurama meanwhile caused a ruckus in the Exceed Capital, upon which they were being chased down by the royal kitten guard, which to their horror, was led by Ichiya's equally perfume obsessed counterpart, Nichiya. Heck, the only reason as to why Kurama didn't go all 9 tailed mode on his ass was because he desperately needed to get away from that 'thing'.
Besides, he didn't want to destroy the Exceed City just because he saw one disturbing thing.
Anyway, the three ended up hiding with a farmer and his wife…both of whom had a character of note.
Lucky, as he was known, reminded Kurama of an angry drill sergeant who at least had a competitive streak, as shown when he and Happy tilled the fields, chopping wood and tending to the lawn a competition. For some reason, the two of them not only ended off at the same time, they also had the same reactions, just mirrored.
Charla meanwhile was watching the two interact and couldn't help but think back on the time she spent with Wendy, Naruto and Kurama.
Out of the three of them, without a doubt, she was closest to Wendy. And when Edo-Erza stated that she, Charla, had played her role in the Dragonslayer Extermination Project perfectly…well she and Happy were understandably shocked.
Later both Happy, Charla and Kurama were given a pep-talk by Marl, Lucky's wife, after which the two Exceeds regained the use of their wings in delight…only for Kurama to crash their mood by stating that he cannot fly.
As they left, Lucky commented to his Wife that, quote: "That brat is 100 years too young to bring a girl home."
To which she responded, quote: "He clearly got that from his father, whom I seem to remember doing the same as Happy."
To which he solemnly responded, quote: "I wasn't that bad, was I?"
Anyway, the trio arrived in time to save Lucy, who had been thrown out from a balcony by Edo-Erza. Happy, dropping Kurama, caught Lucy…and immediately commented on how heavy she was.
Kurama had a softish landing thanks to a patrol of soldiers who were on patrol below him…before going all "Demon Cat Tora" on them when they tried to capture him…Hint: the soldiers fared even worse than a full team of Genin back in Konoha on that particular mission.
Charla played a gamble and successfully fooled Edo-Erza into thinking that she was the daughter of the Exceed Queen, until Nichiya arrived with a horde of Exceed guards that is.
They ended up turned into a giant lacryma thanks to the empire's latest weapon.
Elsewhere however, Gajeel, also sent by Mystogan with a little extra supply, ran amok in the city, meeting up and hitting it off with his Edolas counterpart. Together they managed to distract the guards, while Gajeel freed Erza and Gray from a large chunk of lacryma that was situated in the Capital square.
In short, the empire was pissed, Gajeel ate some Iron, wiped the floor with the troops, met up with Edo-Gajeel, ate some more iron, gave Erza and Gray some medicine, then proceeded to 'cause a distraction'…or as he calls it, have fun.
Fortunately for him, the troops had lots of iron armour…fast food he called it.
Gray and Erza meanwhile went to free everyone else, arriving in time to save Lucy from being skewered by Edo-Erza, with Kurama arriving at the same time as a human sized fox…wearing a pair of boxing gloves which he put to good use against the soldiers who charged him. The poor sods never knew what the hell hit them.
While Erza faced off against Erza, Gray froze the guards and casually walked past his freezing handywork and Kurama just kept on jabbing whoever was left.
When he arrived where Natsu, Naruto and Wendy were, he was shocked to see all three of them unconscious.
After forcefully feeding Natsu and Wendy one of the Ex-pills Gajeel gave them, the pair regained their Magic usage and Natsu ran out, seeking revenge.
Lucy and Gray meanwhile were trying to feed Naruto a pill, but he remained unresponsive.
…at least until Wendy commented something about there being Ramen…
Moments later Natsu returned, screaming that it was the end of the world, because 2 Erza's were fighting…then he realized that Gray was in the room as well.
"Huh? Wow…it's true. Gray IS here." Naruto and Wendy said, in unison, dealing a double critical hit to Gray's pride.
As Gray slowly faded away, Lucy filled Naruto, Wendy and Natsu in on what happened to her and what she had learnt from Gray and Erza.
Next moment, Happy and Charla came flying in at high speed, only to crash into Natsu, who came running out of the door at the same time…the dumbass was ichting for a fight apparently…
Luckily for all three, Wendy was there to heal the bumps…although she started with Charla and took her sweet time as the two of them made amends.
Shortly afterwards they came across Kurama…who had started beating the enemy soldiers into shape, literally…because it amused him just how out of shape these guys were. Seeing the Fox teach a group of battered and bruised soldiers some basic punching skills was amusing to see.
Naruto did what he does best…and joined in, contrary to the expectations of everyone else.
And what made things hilarious to Wendy was that neither Naruto nor Kurama seemed to be paying much attention to the unfortunate souls they were beating out of shape there…no they were talking about other things, such as where Naruto could improve his Hand-to-Hand combat skills.
…Until Kurama asked Naruto what he thought of Wendy.
"Wendy-chan? She is my best friend." Naruto answered.
Of to the side, Gray, Lucy and Charla winced at the friend-zoning.
What they didn't know, but Kurama did, was that Naruto thought of her as more than a friend, but was too scared to confess or act on his own feelings.
Wendy however felt as though struck by lightning, believing that their feelings weren't mutual…
And after overcoming her shock, Charla wanted to add 6 more whiskers to Naruto's cheeks.
The next few hours were chaotic at best…
Natsu, Lucy and Gray went to explore the castle and pick a fight, Naruto and Kurama went around causing a distraction, and Charla and Wendy went to Extalia to warn the Exceeds of the coming danger. And Happy went to look for Gajeel in order to turn that giant Lachryma back into Fairy Tail Mages.
With Natsu's team, basically, they arrived at a theme park. Lucy and Natsu got separated from Gray when the latter caught the eye of one of the Imperial Generals who was wearing a suit of pink armour and spouting some nonsense that reminded Gray waaaaay too much of Ichiya and Juvia…as in, Juvia with a Hormone overdose.
Needless to say, he beat a hasty retreat with the knight following him.
Natsu and Lucy were sent through hell, with the two of them suddenly finding themselves thrown into a Monster School, with Lucy landing in a clothing booth…and of course Natsu had to turn the dials.
No need to worry, Lucy got her revenge with extreme relish.
The other Knight found them eventually and apparently was stunned into silence seeing Lucy wearing a dancer's outfit…only for him to take command of the Monsters to attack her.
Que Lucy screaming her lungs out as she ran.
Natsu meanwhile squared off against a giant Frankenstein Monster replica, grilling him medium to well done when the monster punched him into the ground, making Natsu just say "Ouch." He proceeded to punch the living daylights out of the knight, Fairy Tail style, aka. Pay back 100 times over.
Rewinding time a bit, Lucy, not noticing she had lost her pursuit, ran into another girl carrying a huge key, who herself was being pursued by a knight.
One thing led to another, Lucy ended up facing off against a huge Octopus like being, she used a new whip given to her by Virgo (For questionable purposes according to some of Virgo's explanation, i.e. punishment…) she managed to not only evade all the tentacles, but also ended up tying said tentacles into a big knot.
Then Natsu unknowingly roasted the giant monster Well Done.
With Team Naruto and Kurama
Kurama, still feeling bad for what he had Naruto say in front of Wendy, decided to give the two a little helping hand.
"Naruto."
"Yeah, Kurama?" Naruto answered, looking at his friend as he swiped at a group of soldiers with his Claymore without looking.
"Do you really only see Wendy-chan as a friend?" Kurama asked.
Naruto blushed at the mention of his secret crush, wondering what he meant by that.
"Uhm, yeah. Why do you ask?" he asked.
"'cause you ruined her mood when you said that." Kurama said, casually backhanding a poor soldier into a group of reinforcements.
At the same moment, in the next room an off duty guard had thrown the bowling ball and watched it go skew towards the gutter, only for something to crash through the wall and impact the Pins.
Striking a victory pose, the man shouted "STRIKE!"
"What do you mean I ruined her mood?" Naruto asked, only for Kurama to swat him over the head with a tail or nine.
"You are still an idiot." Kurama told him. It was now that the two realized that they had taken out all the soldiers in this area…and had no idea what to do next.
Meanwhile, with Happy
Happy found Gajeel in the streets surrounding the Palace by literally following the trail of unconscious bodies and left over scraps of iron left by the Iron Dragon Slayer.
After a quick peptalk, Happy lifted him, commenting that though he eats Iron, he is lighter than Lucy…
Cue Lucy sneezing.
…and flew of Max Speed towards the floating Lachryma Island.
Cue Gajeel getting motion sickness.
Down below, an unfortunate Patrol came under attack from chunks of Iron and Stomach Acid.
With Wendy and Charla
Charla spent the better part of the flight cheering Wendy up whilst mentally promising to add to Naruto's whiskers…especially where the light does not shine.
And the flight lasted about half an hour since Charla never developed the High Speed capabilities Happy had.
When they arrived…well, hell broke loose. As in, most of if not all the Cats were throwing stones at them.
Until one black cat with a overly elongated head interfered.
Wendy spent the better part of the next hour trying to convince the Exceed about the upcoming threat.
Back with Natsu and co.
Whilst Lucy was being freed from a trap spell by the young girl she rescued earlier, who was complaining that her boobs were too big, Natsu and Gray, with the help of Erza utilized Plan D…D for 'Dupe the Dolts.'
In short, they acted as though they were prisoners of Erza Knightwalker, who was actually Erza Scarlet, captured the King, had the Dragon Skull Cannon thingamagik aimed at the Lacryma Island as it is powered by Dragon Slayer Magic, only for Erza's counterpart to arrive, restarting their fight from earlier, freeing the King, resetting the Cannon, anchoring the head in the Exceed Island and beginning to drag the island towards the Lacryma Island.
The next few minutes were utter hell for Natsu…as Coco, the girl from earlier brought in her Legion and used it to carry the Earthland Mages out of there.
Que Natsu having Motion Sickness.
The flight was fortunately short as they were relatively close to the Lacryma island.
Back with Naruto and Kurama
The former shinobi and his furry friend made their way out of the capital city and towards some ruins nearby, intent to rest for a bit before heading out to find their friends.
During this time, Naruto had some time to think about what Kurama said…
"She likes me, she likes me not…"
…and was plucking petals from a rose like plant he had picked up along the way.
Suddenly Naruto and Kurama felt a massive amount of Magic being released way above them and they saw to their great shock a pair of floating Islands being forced apart by an Aurora of magical power.
Then, moments later they saw the sky fill with flying cats as the one Island disappeared.
And if they thought they had caused enough chaos amongst the Garrison ranks, they were disappointed as countless magic beams erupted, irradiating the flying furballs and turning them into lacryma.
Suddenly, the earth within the ruins the duo were heading to was torn open as a huge ass egg was revealed to the world.
The egg changed into a mechanized Dragon and fired a magical beam at the sky…
And got an answer in the form of a Natsu style, flaming fist punch to the back of the neck, a Gajeel style Iron lance to the chest and a Wendy style breath that gave the metallic dragon small amounts of airtime.
"Mages? Get Lost! Anti-Magic Spell: Moon Shield." The King of Edolas shouted, forming a pink barrier around the dragon.
Natsu sent a roar at the dragonoid, only for his flames to harmlessly disperse upon impact.
"Well, this will be a problem." Natsu commented.
Back with Naruto
Seeing the barrier made Naruto's stomach growl…
…
AND DONE!
I rushed this chapter quite a bit towards the end, but next chapter you get to see something special. Don't worry, the bunch of Dragon Slayers will, despite having their asses kicked, take down that dragon knockoff.
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter and please leave a like and Review if you do.
