Dragon Soul (A Fairy Tail Story) [ON HIATUS]

Chapter 78: Lisanna

In the outskirts of Magnolia, the Reverse Anima opened up and Everyone from Earthland fell through, piling on top of each other as they hit the ground, grunting in pain. For a moment, Natsu appeared as if he was going to vomit, but he quickly realized they were back in Earthland and got up along with everyone else.

Natsu: WE'RE BACK!!!

Team Natsu looked over at Magnolia, which was back to its original state.

Raiga: Everything's back to normal!

Lucy: The city of Magnolia is, too!

Happy: Yippee!

Erza: Wait. It's too early to rejoice. We need to make sure everyone's safe, first.

???: Everyone's fine! We got to Earthland a bit before you, see.

They looked up and saw all of the Exceeds from Extalia flying above them.

Exceed: We've already flown around a bunch!

Exceed: The people in the guild and the city are all safe!

Everyone: ...O-O...

Exceed: It seems like none of them even realize they were turned into a lacrima!

Exceed: Earthland sure is amazing! There's magic everywhere!

Carla: What's going on? Why... Why are the Exceeds in Earthland?

Raiga: Anima brought all the magic from Edolas to Earthland, including those who possess magic within their bodies. That's why the Exceeds are here as well.

Carla: This is no joke. They're dangerous! We should return them to Edolas.

All the Exceeds landed in front of the Earthland Wizards and faced Carla. Happy and Wendy were both trying to calm Carla down.

Happy: Come on, now...

Wendy: Extalia's gone, remember? Forgive them, will you?

Carla: No.

Exceed: Sorry I threw stones at you.

Exceed: I'm sorry!

Exceed: But, we don't have any place to return to.

Exceed: We'll change our ways!

Exceed: Please, forgive us!

Carla: Who cares about that? You sent me to Earthland with orders to eliminate the Dragon Slayers!

Lucky: That's right! The Queen stole our eggs! I ain't gonna forget that, no way!

Marl: Dear...

Happy: Hey, Mister!

Exceed: But even if you tell us to go back...

Elder 1: We never really explained carefully, did we?

Elder 2: This story goes back 6 years ago.

Elder 1: I believe we've mentioned how the Queen, Chagot, has the power to see the future, yes? One day... she foresaw Extalia's destruction. Thinking back on it now, it was probably the drying up magic power that would cause the islands to fall naturally... However, at the time, we thought the cause would surely be the humans.

Elder 3: It was then that Chagot decided to evacuate the children.

Lucky: Evacuate!?

Marl: Then, that means...

Happy: Huh? That's not exactly... what you told us before...

Elder 3: Indeed.

Elder 4: This plan was kept secret even from the citizens of Extalia.
