"I am the Great Demon King Dragneel! I will steal all of your worlds Magic Power!" Natsu shouted from the roof-top of a building in the Royal City. All of the citizens who had been running for their lives a moment before, came to a stop and stared up at him. Frea sighed as Natsu started laughing with a very maniac look on his face.

They had been met by an Exceed named Nadi, who explained that Mystogan had reversed the Anima, so all of Edolas's Magic Power would be sucked into it. Mystogan was planning on taking the blame for everything, and wanted PantherLily to execute him in front of everybody, in the hopes that Lily would be able to take over Edolas and build a new future.

Natsu had decided there was no way in hell Mystogan was going to be blamed for everything, so that left Frea here, with some red and black cloak on, with Wendy, Gajeel and Natsu.

Their plan; Take the fall for Edolas's destruction.

"RedFox, Marvell, Banshee! My loyal servants, destroy this city!" Natsu roared and a vein ticked on Frea's forehead.

"Banshee?" She hissed.

"Gi hee..." She glanced in Gajeel's direction as he landed on the ground beside her after slicing through a building. "I like that-" Gajeel begun but Frea bopped him on the head so hard, his face met with the ground.

"Shut it Iron-Head, or I'll go after you too when I get back at Natsu!" She growled. Gajeel grumbled as he got back up and Frea saw him wince, "Tch... sorry..." She mumbled as she walked away and half-heartedly threw an Energy Bomb toward a Building and caused it to explode.

"Stop this Natsu!" Frea glanced down the street to see Mystogan running her way. Frea paused and Mystogan skidded to a stop in front of the building Natsu was standing on. "Enough Natsu!" Mystogan shouted at him.

"It's the Prince!"

"Somebody stop the Demon King!"

Frea didn't even glance over as Wendy and Gajeel walked up to stand beside her.

"I'm doing my own version of the Fairy Tail Farewell." Frea perked up as she heard Natsu tell that to Mystogan. "First rule; you must never reveal sensitive information about Fairy Tail to others for as long as you live!" Natsu told him and punched Mystogan.

"Second; You must not have unauthorized contact with past clients or profit personally from them!" Mystogan answered the second one for Natsu and punched the Fire Dragon back.

"Three; Even if we walk different paths, one must always live on as strong as you are able! You must never treat your own life as something insignificant! You must never forget the friends you love for as long as you live!" Natsu grinned as both men stepped forward and punched each other in the face at once.

Mystogan and Natsu were both smiling, as Mystogan caught himself, and Natsu fell to the ground. "I hope to see you again one day." Natsu said quietly. Frea couldn't help but smile a little as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"The Prince did it!"

"He saved us!"

A chorus of approval for Mystogan started up and the blue-haired man looked rather surprised. Frea let out a soft sigh as she felt herself begin to be pulled into the Anima, and she saw herself, along with the three other Dragon Slayer's begin to glow as they were slowly lifted up. Frea smiled down at the watching eyes of the Edolas people, and she glanced side-ways to see the rest of their Members begin to be sucked into the Anima as well.

"We're going back..." Frea murmured. She closed her eyes as she listened to her Guild-Mates call out their farewells around her.

Edolas was interesting and everything... But it was time to go back.

.:+:.

Frea found herself falling in an instant and she immediately found herself on top of Natsu, while Gray fell on top of her. Frea let out a grumble as she shoved the half-naked Ice Mage off and got to her feet, stepping away from the dog-pile. Rain was pouring down steadily and she was already soaked from it. Her silver gaze cast around and she smiled widely.

"We're back!" She said happily and at once the rest of the group jumped to their feet, everyone was smiling.

"Alright!" Natsu yelled.

"Hold on," Erza stepped forward, "It's too early to celebrate. We need to make sure that everyone in the Guild is safe." Erza told them.

"Actually, everybody's fine!" They all glanced up and their jaws dropped. All of Extalia was floating above them, "We got here before you, and we had plenty of time to fly around!" One of the Exceeds explained. "Fairy Tail is fine, in fact, no one seems to realize they had been turned into a Lacrima."

"W-why?!" They gasped. The Exceeds were lined up on the ground by a very serious looking Carla, and the queen Chagot, and Elders resided at the front with Nadi and a cat that looked a lot like Ichiya.

"They need to leave." Carla huffed and Wendy and Wendy walked up to the white Exceed.

"Come on Carla..." Wendy murmured.

"Cant we just forgive them?" Happy asked.

"We are sorry..." The Exceed's murmured. Carla narrowed her eyes,

"No. These people sent us here to kill the Dragon Slayers." Carla hissed.

Chagot blinked in surprise, and the Elders cast quick glances between each other. "Actually Carla... When I ordered the 100 Eggs to be Sent to Earthland... you don't know the full story..." Chagot murmured. One of the Elders stepped forward,

"I believe we already mentioned Chagote can see in to the future a little? When Chagot received a vision of the Floating Islands falling, we came to the conclusion that the Human's would cause our downfall." The Elder explained.

"We didn't count on your powers when we sent the eggs though..." Chagote cut in and Frea saw Carla stiffen. "You can see into the future like me...We lied to the humans and told them you were being sent to kill the Dragon Slayers, when we were really just trying to keep you safe... and we think you saw what would happen, and you self-consciously made those seeings your mission." Chagote explained. " And those directions into the Castle... you were seeing the future then too." Chagote explained.

"We were taking advantage of the fact you didn't know of your powers... sorry!" Nadi put in.

"That's why I gave you the sword Carla... all that's happened in solely my fault." Chagote told her softly.

"My queen! You mustn't say that!" the golden Exceed standing beside Nadi gasped.

"We cant send them back Carla... Extalia was destroyed remember?" Wendy murmured and Carla sighed.

"I guess that will have to do for now..." Carla sighed and the Exceeds smiled. "But why do I have your power?" Carla asked and Chagote and the Elders looked away.

"Mister!" Happy exclaimed as he dashed off to stand side-by side with a White Exceed wearing a straw hat. "Dont you think Chagote and Carla kinda look alike?" Happy asked and Frea turned away, blocking out their conversation, and smiled a little as she saw Chagote pull Carla in for a hug, before letting her go.

"While we're here, we should try to find those Hundred Eggs that were sent six years ago!" One of the Exceeds piped up and they all lifted off, and they flew off, yelling out last good-bye's before disappearing. Frea brushed some of her soaking hair from her face and glanced between the assembled Mage's.

"We going to the Guild?" She asked.

"Hell no!" Gajeel snapped. "We gotta find my cat first, I didn't see Lily here!" He growled. Frea blinked a few times.

"Your cat...? Lily...?" Frea murmured.

"I'm right here." They all turned to see a Happy sized PantherLily walk out of the surrounding trees and Frea chuckled a little at the shocked expressions on the faces of the people around her.

"You definitely cutesified!" Happy snickered and Lily sighed.

"EarthLand doesn't see to agree with me." The Black Exceed murmured. "Right now my only concern is joining a Wizards Guild. Gajeel, will you keep your promise of taking me in?" Lily asked and Gajeel smirked.

Gajeel dashed at Lily and scooped the Exceed up, smiling widely as he crushed Lily in a hug with tears pouring out of the Iron Dragon's eyes. "Of course, Partner!" Gajeel shouted.

"What have you been doing anyway Lily?" Happy asked and Lily tugged on a rope held in his hands.

"I found a suspicious figure." Lily answered as he pulled on the rope harder. "Get out here!" He snapped.

"Ow! Hey you! I'm not suspicious, I'm part of Fairy Tail!" Someone retorted as the sound of bushes being crashed through and a young girl wearing a blue dress with blue eyes and short white hair appeared. Frea immediately froze along with Natsu, Erza and Gray.

"You bagging on my Lily?" Gajeel growled as he crouched down beside the girl, eyes narrowed. Frea quickly stepped forward and pushed Gajeel's face away from the girl, causing the man to fall backward. Frea crouched down beside the girl and stared, the blue eyes meeting her silver ones. She lifted a hand and gently placed a finger against the young girls forehead, eyes growing wider.

"L-Lisanna...?" Frea breathed. Frea stood back up and drew her hand away, raking her silver gaze over the young girl on the ground before her.

"Frea?" Lisanna asked and Frea stiffened.

"Oh no! Edolas's Lisanna came back with us somehow!" Frea glanced over her shoulder at Wendy who had said the words.

"Edolas Lisanna...?" Frea echoed. Frea quickly stepped out of the way as Lisanna jumped up and yelled Natsu's name, tackling the Fire Dragon to the ground.

"Natsu... I finally get to see the real Natsu again!" Lisanna smiled as tears streamed down her face.

"Erza..." Frea murmured. "I could be wrong but... I'm not one to forget the Energy Signature of some one in Fairy Tail..." Frea told her and Erza's eyes widened.

"You don't mean...?" Gray and Erza asked and she nodded.

"That's our Lisanna." Frea told them. Lisanna got off of Natsu and turned toward them.

"Yeah..." Lisanna answered.

"But... we all thought you died two years ago... how?" Erza asked and Lisanna sighed.

"I never died." Lisanna explained. "I think at the time, I was sucked into one of the smaller Anima set up around EarthLand. And I was sucked into replace, what Edolas had lost..." She trailed off and they immediately figured out what she meant, the Edolas Lisanna had died. "I found Fairy Tail and they all just believed I was their Lisanna, so I stayed with the Guild."

"Then, back there. Why didn't you tell us back in the Edolas Fairy Tail!?" Natsu demanded and Lisanna looked away from him.

"I just couldn't..." She murmured. Frea switched her gaze between Lisanna and Natsu, not particularly liking the feeling passing between the two. She stepped forward and placed an arm around Lisanna's shoulders, grinning widely.

"We're glad to have you back," Frea told her. "Now I'm not the only one in Fairy Tail to die and come back!" Frea chuckled and Lisanna quirked an eyebrow. "You'll hear about it later," Frea promised and exchanged a glance with Erza. "Right now, I bet there's two people who would love to see you." Frea told her and gave the white-haired Mage a wink.

Frea crossed her arms behind her back and smiled softly as she watched Lisanna run through the cemetery behind the church, splashing through puddles as she ran toward to figures in front of a grave.

"Mira!" Lisanna called out to them. "Mira! Elfman!" Lisanna huffed and the two who had been called slowly turned around. Elfman dropped the umbrella he had been holding as his eyes widened in shock along with Mira's. The three siblings hugged each other as they smiled and cried, and Frea sighed, closing her eyes for a minute.

She loved the emotion coming off of the three Strauss Siblings, it felt like love, happiness, it was wonderful... She didn't even mind the rain pouring down anymore as she watched the scene before her. She had never been good friends with Lisanna, but she had come to know Mira and Elfman pretty well, and it made her all the happier to see them so happy.

Frea silently hoped that things would go a lot more smoothly from here on out.
