Fairy Tail: Next Generation

Chapter 45- Run.

"Wait Nashi!! Where--?"

But it was too late.

The pink haired girl had already ran away from the three that all held different reactions to the sudden escape of Nashi.

Edolas Simon and Edolas Igneel both had the same reaction to the runaway of the pink haired girl.

Confusion.

Except, Edolas Simon's gaze to her retreating figure held worry for the fire dragon slayer.

As for Storm, his expression held a combination of worry and fear for his teammate.

He knew how much her twin brother meant to her in the short amount of time they lived together. Seeing him all grown up and alive was certainly hell for her.

"Storm?" Asked an all familiar voice to Storm, who quickly turned his head around towards the voice.

"Simon!" Exclaimed Storm, followed by a sigh in relief at seeing his scarlet haired teammate who gave him a huge happy grin.

"Hey!! I wondered where you and Nashi landed! Where d--"

"Wait, this is the earthland me?!"

Simon eyes opened in surprise at the person next to Storm.

His expression soon turned into a frown.

"Uuuuuhhhh, yes?" Said Simon uncertainly to Edolas Simon. "And you must be my Edolas counter part."

"No, no no no no!!" Shouted Edolas Simon in disgust as he eyed Simon up and down while pointing his finger at him. "You are definitely nnnooot me!"

"...What?" Asked Simon in confusion at the boy in front of him who continued to get paranoid.

"I did expect you to not be as handsome as me, but I never expected that you'd look.....like this!"

Simon raised an eyebrow at him, while crossing his arms over his chest, amused at the man in front of him while Storm sighed in annoyance at him. Edolas Igneel was only giving the two a confused look, as he wondered when the hell did the Simon that he knew have a twin brother.

"What is this?" Shouted Edolas Simon at Simon's appearance. "What are you wearing?! Why is your hair all messed up like this?! And don't get me started on that cloak that you have on!!"

Simon continued to look at the boy with amused eyes, as he murmured over Storm "Well, he's something."

"Something annoying." Murmured Storm back over to him while rubbing at his temples which earned him a chuckle from Simon, as both of them continued to watch Edolas Simon ramble to himself.

"Oh yeah, where's Nashi? Isn't she with you?" Asked Simon to Storm with a frown, clearly worried over the pink haired girl's whereabouts.

And the look on Storm's face after he had asked that question had made him feel even more concerned over the girl.

"What happened?"

"Him happened." Said Storm in a hushed tone as he pointed his finger over at the pink haired boy who was still behind the rambling scarlet haired boy.

Simon hadn't really noticed the boy until now.

And now that he did notice him, his hazel eyes widdened in horror at him.

Zeus, Gale, Nova and Elise's jaw dropped in shock at Simon's revelation.

"I--Igneel's alive?!"

Simon immediately shushed the pierced eared girl.

"He's alive in here, but dead in our world." Said Simon as he peered over his shoulder to see if someone was listening in on them, or had heard the yell of the black haired girl. To their luck, no one was listening in on them, and the scarlet haired boy assumed that no one heard Elise's yell seeing as they were all busy greeting their 'prince' in the guild. He sighed in relief at this.
