Fairy Tail - The World of Mages -

Chapter 31

"What?!" Lucy exclaimed in such a loud voice, "How could you forget Nee-chan's face?! Is it because of the shock?!" Seeing Gray's reaction wasn't as what she expected, she interrogated him as if he was amnesia.

"Ouch, that's loud," He rubbed his ears, "Of course I remember Vye... There's no way I would forget her, but she is not her. Who are you?" He asked again. Lucy was utterly disappointed and also bewildered. It was always a wonder how he could differentiate Vyera so well from others, no matter how she was disguised.

Lucille was a bit surprised to see the real Gray like this, "I'm... Lucille... of Edoras..."

"Heee... Nice to meet you." Gray smiled, "But that's all for the introduction. Let's go!"

Lucille was still quiet down the route while Lucy and Gray were trying to find Natsu as fast as possible.

Back to Vyera, she was still trapped inside the Lachryma while they were busy trying to stop the canon. However, Mystogan seemed to tell Gajeel who could use his Dragon Slayer magic to turn those Lachrymas back into human, about a possibility of Lachryma inside the castle. Gajeel rampaged both the town and the castle and found her Lachryma. It was heavily guarded but without Erza and Lily there, it was no sweat for Gajeel to defeat all of them.

"Ugh..." Vyera slowly opened her eyes after she was transformed back into human and directly in front of her was, "... Gajeel?"

"How come you are still alive?" He asked.

"Let's just say it's not my time to die yet. How come you could turn me back to human?" Vyera replied with a question.

"My Dragon Slayer magic has a special purpose in this world or so it seems. I don't know the details either."

"Gajeel!!" Called someone from the sky.

"Happy!" Vyera called.

"Vyera! You are back! But it's not the time to rejoice yet! Gajeel, the guild's Lachryma is on top of the floating island, I'll get you there!" Happy said and flew down immediately.

"Gotcha!" Gajeel acknowledged happily. He had something else to do rather than hanging around.

"And Vye! They are all heading towards the main chamber where the so-called Dragon Chain is located!" Happy added.

"Roger!"

Vyera immediately head towards the main chamber. Somehow she knew where it was. Her magic power was back, the full power of hers and Xrytos' power. It was overwhelming now that she could feel it again. Before that it was just enough to defeat an army of 100. Now she could not even measure how big the damage would be if the full power is released. The good thing was she could feel others' magic power again. It was a relief to her, to feel everyone that was still alive. Some were even running and about.

While she was heading towards where the Dragon Slayers' magic were concentrated the most, most of the castle were in wreckage. The wall were full of holes here and there. Some places were completely destroyed that she couldn't figure out what the rooms were. However, half way there, she found the people she has been longing to see.

"... Gray! Erza!" She shouted.

They turned their heads. Although at first, Erza didn't realise and even said, "Ice?" while Gray was speechless, known perfectly it was Vyera, she just shook her head at Erza's answer, "It's me."

"Are you serious...?? Vyera?!" Erza said with shock and surprise.

She nodded and smiled with tears in her eyes, "I'm back."

Both of them just ran to her and hugged her immediately. Gray was so happy that he lifted her up and took a good look at her, "I can't believe this!"

"Believe it." Vyera said to him face to face when he put her down, "I'm the one and only Vyera that you know." He replied with a smile and at the verge of tears. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips. She just can't hold back anymore from missing him so much.

"... Lucille! Natsu!" Vyera finally saw them behind them. Natsu was grinning as hell and Lucille just smiled sadly and Vyera noticed that.

"Lucille? What's wrong?" She asked and approached her. Another scene of Vyera facing herself. Erza was the one who took this turn to explain everything that had happened till now. Just then she spotted Edo-Erza was still unconscious behind her.

"Hoo.. So that bastard isn't your father then? Good. Then I could get wild as much as I want." Vye said happily.

"But-"

"Isn't it better like this? You are free to live as you like. Besides, all of us know who might be your living relatives." Vyera said before Lucille had anything pessimitic said out loud. Lucille was dumbfounded. How come everyone knew except for her? Well it was too easy to guess even for the readers.

"It has been a while since I last used my full power. Let's get wild then!" Vyera said excitedly and punch her right hand using her left.

"Before that, please differentiate yourself. I don't want any mistakes later on." Erza said with a serious tone. Vyera just realised that. Natsu and Erza couldn't differentiate the two of them. Gray just shrugged being the only one with that priviledge.

"...Then..." Vyera looked around and could only find a ribbon from the rummage. She tied your hair up in a ponytail, "Will this do?"

After Erza gave her okay, Vye took the lead towards the Dragon Cannon Chain or whatever it called. On the way there, of course Lucille followed, a plan was formed, "So... I'll capture these two and pretend to be the Erza here... And Gray had to Ice Make the key to re-aim the Canon towards the Lachryma." Erza explained.

"And I, will be one of your subordinates while Lucille can pretend to be captured as well. Geez, it hasn't been this tense lately." Vye sighed, "Must let me know all the exciting stuff happened during my absence."

"If we all survive this, that is." Erza grinned.

"We definitely will!" Gray and Natsu added, which ended with, "Don't copy me!"

"Question!" Lucille shouted which surprised everyone, "Um... Vyera, how you are going to appear? I mean... if there are two of us... wouldn't that be... a big problem??" Her voice suddenly became softer. Maybe it was due to everyone looking at her.

"Well, yes, that's true, but there is one of my magic that you haven't seen." Vye winked. Lucille was looking confused as usual.

Upon reaching there, Gray and Natsu were tied up and dragged by Erza unconscious, or at least they pretended to be knocked out. While Vye transformed into one of the guards, much to Lucille's excitement, and tied her up as well, although conscious.

"Okay, listen up," Vyera said in a guy's voice already, "It's up to you on how you want to act, I'll improvise. You want to struggle, be brave or be scared, go ahead." She told Lucille, "I believe you have a lot to say to your fa- I mean, the King after all that happened?"

She looked a little bit unsure but nodded her head at the very end. Entering the scene being looked at hundreds of guards and the King himself was rather tense. Erza kept her cool and imitated almost the same as Edo-Erza cruelness. She took Natsu hostage and threatened Gray to create the key. Lucille was quiet until she finally spoke just before Gray put the key into it.

"Fath-no, King! Stop this!"

"Who are you to talk in front of the King?!" Vyera said, in continuation of the act. Then she tried to struggle and stuff but she hold her tight. The King ignored her no matter what she asked. He pretended as if he didn't know her and didn't hear her. Gray was forced to put in the key but couldn't find the aiming system.

"It's time." Both Vyera and Erza said and transformed back to former self. Erza took the King hostage instead and you moved Lucille behind you, "We have the King! Re-aim the Cannon to hit the Lachryma!!"

"Grrr... Erza! Lucille! Is this how you treat me?! After raising and protecting you for all these years?!" shouted the King even though he had a sword on his neck.

"You... You lied! You are not my father! You are just going to use me as a tool!!" Lucille shouted back, "... Just because of a prophecy, you took me away from my parents... only Gerard... is kind to me... always by my side... You never do anything father-like except giving me food and place to live!!"

"Nicely said." Vye supported, "I would love to behead you right now but you are still 'his' father... So you had better re-aim the Cannon or else-"

A surge of killing aura came from the entrance to the place and Erza was suddenly attacked, causing her to let go of the King.

"... There are two commanders?!" shouted most of the guards.

"She is a fake!" said Edo-Erza who just came in with almost no clothing on her except a piece of cloth over her. Erza ex-quip back to her own armor. But thanks to the interference, they aimed the Cannon directly at the floating island instead of the Lachryma and before anyone could react, it was already fired.

There was no more hostage, thus all the guards were onto Vyera and the gang.

"Hey!! Quickly get on!!" Lucy shouted from the sky. She was riding a dragon-like creature.

"Cool!" Everyone started to get up, but the guards were too near.

"... Hephaestus!!" Vyera shouted a spell to create fire barrier in between the dragon and the guards, causing them not to come near. But the output that she released for the fire magic was too strong that it caused some of the guards to suffer quite serious burns.

"Oh damn," Vyera scratched her head but quickly went up the dragon before they managed to put the fire off, "So.. next time it should be half of normal power, huh??"

Everyone immediately headed towards the Giant Lachryma and tried to stop it from crashing into Extalia. It was hard to push it but even the Exceeds came to help after being convinced by Wendy and Charle who went ahead to Extalia. After a hard time, someone appeared and opened up the Anima to send the Lachryma back.

"... Mystogan?!"

"I opened the reverse Anima to send the Lachryma back. They are all safe now."

Both Extalia and Fairy Tail guild were saved. However, looked like the King wasn't giving up on getting eternal magic. He rode on a kind of robot that was said to be made of somekind of material that rendered all magic useless. He even shot Mystogan down from the sky and caused him to fall into the forest.

"No! Jellal Nii-san!" Lucille shouted and just jumped from the Dragon trying to catch Mystogan.
