Fairy Tail: Robots And Fairies

Chapter Two: Not On Earth Anymore Pt 2

Braedey could only lightly chuckle to himself at the expressions of the three wizards in front of him. He wasn't used to this kind of reaction anymore. In his world, everyone knew who he was and what he could do. Obviously, that was not the case here.

The teen hero took a look around at their surroundings, but he was still just as lost as before. He then turned to the trio, a small, slightly nervous smile on his face. These three seemed hospitable enough now that they knew Grimlock was only helping them. Now was as good a time as any to ask them the question that had been on Braedey's mind since he arrived in this alternate universe.

"So..." Braedey rubbed his neck sheepishly. "I don't suppose any of you could tell me where I am exactly?"

The trio of wizards was astounded by what they had just seen. They had assumed that the giant metal dinosaur-man was attacking because a large gathering of humans had invaded its territory. They never expected it to speak to them, let alone for it to suddenly transform into a young human man.

Lucy was the first person to shake off her initial shock, albeit not entirely, and proceeded to answer Braedey's question. After all, it was the least she could do.

"Uhhh, you're in the forest just outside of Oshibana." She answered. "Why?"

Braedey simply looked at Lucy confusedly, her statement having done nothing for him.

"Oshibana. You know, near Clover and Onibus."

Once again, Lucy's statement had left Braedey even more confused than before.

"The Kingdom of Fiore?" Lucy said.

Braedey merely shrugged. He'd never heard of any of those places before, and wasn't about to pretend that he had.

"Seriously?" Lucy said, shocked.

"If you've never heard of Oshibana, then what are you doing so close by?" Happy asked.

Braedey thought to himself for a moment. He thought it best not to tell them he was from another universe. It might just confuse the situation even further, and besides, he got the feeling that these people wouldn't believe him if he did anyway.

"Well, let's just say I'm lost." Braedey replied. "I found myself in these woods, got attacked by a big green monkey, and eventually-"

"Big green monkey...?" Natsu interrupted, as his eyes widened. "It didn't have pink hearts on its arms, did it?"

The Transformatrix bearer turned to the Dragon Slayer and answered, "Actually, it did."

Natsu huffed and crossed his arms. "Man, I hate those things. Always walkin' around like they own the place..."

"You can say that again." Braedey agreed.

"Wait, so you don't have any idea where you are?" Lucy inquired.

"Don't you know where your home is?" Happy wondered.

"Well, as strange as it sounds...I actually don't." Braedey responded.

"Do you at least know how you ended up here?" Natsu questioned.

Braedey shifted his eyes awkwardly. He knew how he got to this world, but he still wanted to avoid telling these people he was from another universe, unless it was necessary to tell them. He placed his hand on the top of his head, trying to think of what to say, until...

"Well, if you can't find your home, maybe you should come back to our guild with us!" Natsu suggested with a wide, toothy grin.

Braedey could only blink at Natsu's statement. What was he talking about?
