Dragon Ball and Fairy Tail: Wrath of the Reaper

Chapter 6: Awakening

Please hurry Gohan. Bulma was looking longingly out the window towards where Gohan flew of to Korin's Tower. Meanwhile, Videl tended to the young man's bandages while Piccolo played with Pan outside. What's your story? Bulma has been making theories ever since Jaco brought him from Namek. A hole in reality, the Dragon Balls, Vegeta... Bulma could hardly keep the tears back as she worries. He can handle himself. Plus Goku is there too. Feeling better, she walked back over to Videl. She was changing the boy's bandages. The injury was worse than any of them had thought. As Videl worked, Bulma couldn't help but admire his features. His hair was a deep blue. A strange red symbol stretched over his right eye. Who are you?

"He's coming!" Piccolo shouts as he enters the room. Seconds later, Gohan charged into the room with a bag of Senzu beans. Piccolo took one of the beans, returned Pan to Gohan, and ran over to the man. Piccolo, having fed Senzu beans to unconscious people before, helped the man chew and gave him water to wash it down. Bulma, Videl, and Gohan begin to approach, but Piccolo holds them back. "Be careful," Piccolo warned. Eventually, the man twitched and opened his eyes.

Where am I? Mystogan thought as he opened his eyes. He was lying on a table. It was a bright room, painted white. He felt bandages on his face, but no wound beneath. He felt as good as new. Then, he remembered what happened, and sat straight up. His magic staffs and head scarfs were against the adjacent wall. Four others were in the room. A young woman and man stood the furthest away. The man held an infant in his arms. To their left was a slightly older woman. She had light blue hair and wore a red scarf around her neck. The person closest to him, if he even was a person, held a dead serious look on his face. He was tall, with green skin and pointed ears. He wore a purple gi with a cape and had a turban wrapped around his head. His posture suggested that he was ready for a fight. "Where am I?" Mystogan asked.

"Who are you?" The green man countered.

"I'm nobody, now tell me where I am!" The green man tensed and glared. The young woman stepped forward towards Mystogan. Ignoring the green man's worried looks, she sat on the table and took his hand. Her hand was warm, and the look in her eyes was that of compassion.

"I understand you must be scared, but were not your enemy. Piccolo is just a little protective. Where only in edge because our friends were taken by the same portal you came out of. But let's just start with names. I'm Videl, and this..." Gesturing to the man "is my husband Gohan."

"And I'm Bulma." The other woman said.

"I-I'm Mystogan." He said slowly.

"Well Mystogan, let's get you fed." Videl helped Mystogan off the table. Still a little weak, he required Videl's aid to walk.

The kitchen area was large, with a luxurious living area off to the side. Two young boys and a little girl played while a short man and a tall woman watched. The man was bald and had six marks on his forehead. The woman had short blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. She turned and locked eyes with Mystogan. He felt something unnatural about her. A third woman was cooking in the kitchen. Her black hair was pulled into a tight bun, with a few stray hairs sticking out. Videl led Mystogan to a counter near the kitchen. The woman turned and smiled.

"Oh good, you're awake. Dinner will be ready shortly. I'm Chichi." The other man and woman took a seat next to Mystogan.

"It's a good thing we got you those Senzu beans when we did. That gash was pretty nasty. I'm Krillin. And this is my wife, 18."

"It's probably safe to take those bandages off now." 18 said with a flat tone. Videl moved to help, but Mystogan reached up and removed them himself.

"I appreciate your hospitality," Mystogan said as he finished. "But you still haven't answered my question. Where am I?"
