Dragon Ball and Fairy Tail: Wrath of the Reaper

Chapter 37: Home

Erza sat in the shade of a tree. Everyone was enjoying the food Bulma had brought out. Even Mystogan was eating off to the side. There was a crunch of leaves next to her. Vegeta was looking down at her.

"What's with you?" He asked.

"I'm not hungry," Erza said quietly.

"What's with you?" Vegeta repeated. Erza let out a sigh.

"This whole ordeal has taught me one thing: we are outclassed by warriors from your world. If one ever comes with evil intentions..."

"Come with me."

Vegeta lead Erza through the halls of the Capsule Corp. building. They came to a large door labeled 'Lab'. Vegeta punched in a password and opened the door.

"My wife prepared a gift for you, but I have some things I want you to take as well." Vegeta passed Erza a small back box. He opened a drawer and pulled out something else. "Here." He handed her a strange eyepiece. It had a blue lens, with several buttons on the side. "This is a Scouter. It detects our kind of power. It's not perfect, as those who have learned to suppress their energy or posses divine ki cannot be detected, but it might give you some early warning. And here." He passed her a small, purple button. "Bulma had Whis create a two-way communicator for the rest of us to use. It works across our universes and even to our Otherworld. It should allow you to contact us in an emergency. Although you should ONLY use it for that."

"Thank you Vegeta," Erza said, blushing.

"Now, let's go," Vegeta with a weak smile.

"Man this food is good!" Natsu said as he gorged himself on a roast.

"Bulma always gets the best cooks," Goku explained.

"She must be pretty wealthy than," Lucy said as she admired the building.

"Her dad is the richest man in the world," Krillin chuckled.

"Seriously! That explains a lot," Lucy exclaimed.

"I guess I'm so used to it I always forget," Goku said as he scratched his head. There was a massive crash around the other side of the building. Erza, in her Clear Heart Clothing, skid to a halt by the pool. Vegeta appeared in front of her, but she blocked his punch. The two began trading blows at an incredible speed.

"Wow, Erza is holding her own this time," Mirajane said.

"When Vegeta holds back they are pretty evenly matched," Piccolo added.

"I just wish they'd do it somewhere else," Bulma sighed. Erza landed an uppercut to Vegeta's jaw and knocked him into the air. She leaped up and knocked him back down with an ax kick. Vegeta landed on his hand and kicked Erza in the stomach as she came down. Vegeta grabbed her ponytail, wrapped it around her neck, and threw her to the ground.

"I win," Vegeta grunted. He let go of her hair and helped her up.

"I guess I still have a long way to go before I can match you."

"That is a severe understatement," Vegeta said, but even he couldn't hold back a grin. Erza merely blushed and changed back into her normal clothing

"Hey Erza! You got to try some of this!" Natsu shouted, waving a turkey leg above his head. Erza felt her stomach growl.

"I guess it has been a few days since I had a good meal," She chuckled.

"Well, your in for a treat!" Trunks said as he flew by.

Natsu and Goku sat over by the pool.

"This was one heck of a crazy week," Goku yawned.

"No kiddin. Normally I'd be surprised about learning about a different world, but we have the Celestial Spirit Realm," Natsu explained.

"Hey, Natsu, we're getting ready to go!" Canna called.

"Well, we better get going," Goku said as he stood up.

"Can't I sit down for five minutes," Natsu groaned.

"Here," Goku said as he lifted the deck chair Natsu was sitting on.

"Ah, luxury," Natsu grinned. The two laughed and walked towards the yard.

"How lazy are you?" Lucy asked, annoyed.

"Admit it, your jealous," Natsu smirked as he hopped down. Lucy just shook her head.

"Just hurry up and get ready."

"Goku dear!" Chi-Chi called as Goten flew her in. "I brought it!"

"Thanks Chi-Chi," Goku said, taking a small gift bag from her.

"Whatcha got there?" Lucy asked.

"It's for you." Goku passed her the bag.

"I made a bunch of these a long time ago, so I thought it be a good momento for you to have," Chi-Chi said. Lucy reached in and pulled out a necklace. It was simple, with a black cord and a medallion. The same symbol that was in Goku's gi was pressed into the metal.

"It's beautiful."

"I'm glad you like it!" Goku chuckled.

"Lucy, Natsu! We're ready!" Makarov called.

"I guess this is goodbye." Lucy walked over and shook Goku's hand. "Will we ever see each other again?"

"Count on it," Goku smiled. He turned to Natsu. The two lunged forward and clashed fists. "You better be a lot stronger the next time we meet."

"Oh, I'll do you one better. I'll beat you next time," Natsu grinned. He and Lucy ran off to join the others. Gohan put on the bracelet and opened a portal. They began to walk back through. Lucy stopped and looked back.

"Thanks again everyone!" She waved. She and Natsu walked through, and Gohan closed the portal.

Erza locked the door to her room. Shenron had restored it, and she was glad to have the privacy of her room for tonight. Erza requiped out of her armor and started to get ready for a shower. She didn't bother waiting for it to heat up. She just stood in the freezing water and tried to relax. Images of Shiripa possessing Levy kept flashing into her head. She punched the wall.

"I have to get stronger, for next time..."

Erza tied off her bathrobe and sat down on her bed. The box, Scouter, and communicator lay on her pillow. She tucked the communicator into a drawer and put on the Scouter. Numbers immediately popped up on the lens. Erza pressed the button and started looking around. Numbers popped up all over. She focused on her own arm, and a 230 pooped up. She looked around the room again and saw a 144 pop up down the hall, with a 120 further down. That must be Juvia and Wendy. Erza took of the Scouter and set it on her nightstand. She took the box and opened it. There was a small capsule with a note.

Dear Erza.

Hi, it's Bulma. Vegeta had the idea of giving you this (no matter what he said it was his idea). I hope you enjoy it. And if you're worried about never meeting again; don't. Goku has long taught me friends will always come back eventually.

Sincerely, Bulma

Erza took the capsule and threw it to the ground. It burst opened in a cloud of smoke. When it cleared, an armor stand had taken its place. On it was a jumpsuit and Saiyan armor like Vegeta's.

"I will get stronger Vegeta. Thank you."
