Dragon Ball and Fairy Tail: Wrath of the Reaper

Chapter 24: Bystander

Mystogan leaned on the railing. The view from the top of the Capsule Corp. building was gorgeous. The breeze was warm, rustling the trees in the parks and forests in the distance. Mystogan enjoyed the chance to feel the wind on his face without his mask. Without prying eyes all around him, he could finally relax.

"Hi mister!" He looked down to see 18's little girl standing next to him. "I'm Marron," She said.

"It's nice to meet you, you can call me Mystogan," He smiled. Marron peered between the bars of the railing.

"I can't see well," she said.

"Here," Mystogan picked her up and let her sit on the railing.

"What a pretty sunset! Is it like this where you come from?" Marron asked.

"Yes, while my home has fewer cities, the sunset looks the same," Mystogan said.

"There you are Marron," 18 was standing in the doorway.

"Mama!" Marron hoped down and ran over to her mother.

"I hope she wasn't a problem for you," 18 said.

"No, she's a good kid," Mystogan smiled. The two walked back through the doorway and down the stairs. What am I doing? I'm here playing with kids when Wendy and the others could be getting hurt!

"Don't think like that, you know there is nothing you can do," An old man with a stick stood behind him. "Trust me, I know how your feeling. Almost every time our world has been in danger, I've only been an observer. However, I have friends and students who are strong enough to beat any opponent. I always have faith that they will succeed. I trust you have strong companions in your world?" Mystogan remembered the Battle of Fairy Tail. Natsu, Gajeel, Erza, they all blew him away with their strength.

"Yes, I do," Mystogan said.

"Then you should have nothing to worry about. Come, dinners ready," The man turned to leave. Mystogan walked up beside him. "I am Master Roshi," The old man said. "Now, could you tell me about your friends,"

Vegeta caught Peppiria's fist and the two blasted away. Shiripa dodged a punch from Goku and sent him flying with an uppercut. She flew after him, causing a massive shockwave when she took off.

"Should we help?" Erza asked.

"No, they wouldn't like it if you did. Besides, you'd most likely get hurt," Gohan said.

"Why?" Lucy asked, dumbfounded.

"Stepping in on someone's fight is just rude," Natsu said.

"Saiyans are also too proud to accept help," Gohan added.

"Well you clearly don't mind getting help," Cana said.

"I'm only half-Saiyan. I didn't inherit the constant lust for battle from my dad," Gohan explained.

Saiyans are quite strange. Erza thought.

Mirajane, Happy, and Carla went back to check on Wendy.

"Wendy are you oka- where is she!" Happy cried. The covers were thrown off the bed, the fresh clothes were gone, and the window was wide open.

"Quick, go find her!" Mira said Happy and Carla flew out the window in the direction of the distant explosions.

Wendy, be safe.
