I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL NOR DO I OWN OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB

T

A sunny day it was, and when it was sunny, or even cloudy -actually forget the weather since it was truly unnecessary- the members of the rumored 'strongest team in Fairy Tail' would usually be out on a mission. Well, then again, it wouldn't really matter. The reason why they would be out on a mission is either because I needed more money for my rent, Natsu's boredom or Gray or even Erza have a special case where they owe someone or something. Damn, that was a whole lot of 'or's...

For this particular mission, though, it wasn't because of the above reasons. We were out on a mission due to a direct order from The Magic Council. The Guild's been getting more well known in Earthland since we made an appearance during the Grand Magic Games. I guess winning first place made us impress everyone. The town mayor gave us back our original guild building which had been in the center of the town. Master Makarov had teared up at the mayor's kindness.

However, not everyone was happy with our success. The members of Sabertooth weren't too pleased with us stealing the champion title. However, there were those who acknowledged us; the Dragon Twins, their exceeds and Yukino. Sting and Rogue took their loss as evidence to work harder. Their exceeds obviously followed whatever their partners thought. Sting became the Master of Sabertooth and Yukino was accepted into their guild.

So to say, things were good.

"Move out of the way, Lucy!"

Other than the fact that we were currently getting our asses given to us in a cave.

"Karyū no Hōkō!" Natsu roared before fire was soon shooting out from his mouth towards the dark guild members that were proving us wrong by being more annoying than expected. I stood by Gray in a defensive stance with my hand near my whip in case they made any move to attack us. Gray continued to shield Natsu and me from the wind mage.

"Why is it ALWAYS a cave?" I complained and took hold of my whip, attacking a dark mage who had been running towards us. The whip made contact with his cheek and left a permanent scar. The moment he screamed his body was thrown back into the wall. "I mean, seriously? Why do they hide important items in caves?"

Gray smirked at my obvious irritation. "Because people get lost in caves, causing them to never find these important items, Lucy" He answered my question. I rolled my eyes at his smug attitude. The smirk was soon wiped off his lips when he realized that his shield was breaking. "Go get the artifact, Lucy!" His orders were immediate, and I reacted with haste.

Instead of leaving Gray to fend off the mage by himself, I simply wrapped an arm around his torso and pulled him down with me to dodge the attack. His shield shattered, but Gray gave me a grateful smile. "Thanks, Lucy" He gave me a quick wink. My cheeks were filled with warmth for a few moments before I pushed myself up and away from him before I forgot his words.

Get the artifact.

Easier said than done. I got into a running start and made my way towards the oddly shaped object which had been placed on a platform with -groan- stairs. And a whole lot of steps...

Screw the people who designed this bloody place.

I kicked more energy into my legs when I realized that I wasn't the only one aiming for the artifact. On the other side of the staircase the dark guild's leader was running just as fast as I was; and may I say that was somewhat sad since I was wearing a skirt and that I was a girl. Science proved that males have more energy stored in their body than girls since they performed more physical activities in their daily life. Yup, that was sad, indeed.

However, I truly underestimated him. Once I got faster, he simply accelerated as well. Once I reached the top of the staircase, I jumped towards the artifact and got my hands on it. Unfortunately, he had the same idea and also made a leap for the object. Currently, I find myself in a predicament where we both had the artifact.

I tugged it closer to me, and then he pulled it towards him. A little pull here and a little push there, after a while, nobody was letting go. He sent me a glare. "Let go, little girl"

I rolled my eyes. "Do you think that I'll just let it go if you told me to? Dude, please" I shook my head at his idiocy. "I ran up those stairs and you think I'm gonna let this thing go? Nuh-uh!" I kicked him in the shins and pulled the artifact out of his grasp when he winced for a moment.

"Good job, Lucy!" Erza gave me a thumbs up the 3rd floor where she was fighting with 5 more members of the dark mage.

"When did you get up there?" I deadpanned with an odd smile as Erza kicked their asses effortlessly. Hell, they must've been weak since Erza didn't even have to requip.

Before Erza could answer my question, Happy's eyes widened in shock. "Watch out, Lucy!" My eyes shifted from Erza towards my behind to find the mage headed right towards me. I snapped my wrist downwards and whipped him away. Instead of being thrown towards the wall, he simply grabbed my whip before it made contact with his skin and pulled me forward.

I yelped when I found myself in his grasp, his arms slithered around my waist tightly. He was making sure I wasn't escaping anytime soon. He smirked as I struggled, uncomfortable with how close his face was to mine. "What you say, little girl, you wanna go on a little trip with me?"

"Lucy!" Natsu called out to me, his expression filled with panic. He pushed his opponents to the side in one blow. Happy flew by his side and pulled him off the ground, making their way towards me.

"Get your dirty hands off her, asshole!" Gray added, defeating the wind mage as well to run up the stairs. Erza joined in too, and soon enough they were all sprinting to us.

The mage simply grinned maniacally, and may I just say that that smile didn't look too pretty. I gulped when his fingers found the artifact. "Say bye-bye to your little friends!" I pushed him away, but the attempt turned out to be futile. As I struggled, I accidentally pressed a button on the item, allowing to glow brightly. The mage laughed aloud as I felt myself slowly losing consciousness.

"LUCY!" I heard them call for me.

The last words I heard were the dark mage's; "We'll send you a postcard from our honeymoon!"

T

I was starting to regain consciousness when I felt the sharp grass poking my back through the cloth of my shirt which made me wince and sit straight up instantly. Probably a reflex of the body. The moment I opened my eyes, the groaning was back due to the unfamiliar brightness of my surroundings.

How odd, the last thing I remember was fighting with Gray and the others against that dark guild and next thing I know I'm lying on the grass. My ears were filled with many sounds of nature; birds chirping, squirrels squeaking and frogs croaking.

FROGS?!

I quickly got to my feet and took a few steps away from the sound of the green slimy animals. Once their volume reduced, I sighed and looked around to find myself on an empty field. It wasn't even a football field or anything. It was just a field with grass. I wiped the dirt off my butt and looked up towards the sky. I found myself smiling at the cloudless blue sky.

Well at least there's something good about my day.

My eyes caught interest on a group of teenagers that shared similar clothing; which were yellow puffy dresses. From their attire and the interesting looking building they had been headed into, I could pretty much guess that I was on school grounds.

I gaped at the clock tower next to said building.

This place wasn't just a school, it was also a luxurious school, made for rich people.

I hope I'm still in Fiore, and the artifact was still out of sight, including that dark guild's master. What a troublemaker he was. I started walking around the school's grounds but I couldn't find anyone I could ask for directions. I decided to go after those students. I then looked down at my attire, inwardly biting my cheek.

I hope I don't look too weird...


I entered the empty hallway which was designed beautifully. The walls were creamy white with golden patterns all over, and the ceiling was about the same. I looked to my left and found big windows which revealed the field I was at just minutes ago and a big clock tower. I continued my search for human life. I sounded more like an adventurer who woke up in a jungle. I chuckled at my funny thought. That's when it hit me. I looked down to my keys, fumbling to find the one I was looking for.

Yes!

I grinned, bringing the key in my grasp before summoning him.

"Open! Gate of The Lion, I open thee! Loke". I summoned, and Loke appeared in a puff of smoke. He grinned at me.

"Good morning, my Princess". He bowed to me but then was startled when I hugged him tightly.

"Oh, Loke. I missed you" I sighed, burying my nose in his shirt. I really did miss him, it's been a while since I summoned him. I then froze. "Wait, it's morning?"

I unwrapped my arms from him. He smiled like an idiot, shrugging. "Nah, I don't know. I just thought it would be appropriate since we haven't seen each other for a long time, you know?" He then held out his arms again. "But forget that! Come into my arms once more so I may embrace you ever so tightly and--"

"--Yeah, no" I shook my head and flicked his forehead away.

He pouted childishly and asked, "Where are we?" He looked around in interest.

"That's what I was going to ask you, maybe you had a clue," I told him honestly.

He gave me an apologetic look. "Well, sorry because I honestly don't. But it feels," He paused, using a hand to halt me from saying anything. "Funny".

I raised a brow, looking at him in a more confused way. "What do you mean?"

He was still in that thinking pose; looking down as he used his right hand to cup his chin, thinking of an answer. "We aren't in Fiore anymore" He mumbled, but loud enough for me to hear. "What? Then where are we?" I was getting impatient. We weren't in Fiore any longer, then where could we be?

I waited for Loke's response, but he was silent which meant one thing; Loke had no clue. I sighed. "It's alright Loke, let's just look for someone to answer our questions"

 

Loke sighed as well, maybe more devastated than I was. He apologized, turning to me before we started to walk around again.

"What happened?" I explained to him what had happened since the fight against the dark guild and about the artifact. But that kind of shocked him a bit. "What did the artifact look like?" I described it; an alarm clock which had a tint of brown in it. And again he had a shocked reaction.

"I think we are in another dimension" Those words, the ones that just came out of his mouth, shocked me. Were we really in another dimension? I wondered. Were we in Edolas? No, this place was different, very different.

"B-But Loke, I need to get back" I stuttered, feeling tears welling up in my eyes, but I managed to hold it back. This wasn't the time to cry. As I stayed silent, Loke continued to explain what had happened.

"That artifact can teleport you to different dimensions, not worlds; meaning we aren't in Edolas. In order for us to go back, we need the artifact which is with that guy you told me about right?" I nodded.

"If I'm looking at this right, we need to find that man and get the artifact back. I hope he hasn't left this dimension yet" He explained, turning to face me with those worried, concerned eyes.

"But" He paused. He seemed to be hesitating. "I don't think that this dimension has any magical abilities" I gasped, a life without magic? "So you have to be careful"

I nodded, knowing what he meant. "Wait! Me? How 'bout you?"

 

He chuckled, hesitantly scratching the back of his head before raising a hand to wave it at me. "You're on your own, Princess" He simply said before disappearing in a puff.

That.... Idiot!

"Excuse me?" I heard a voice say from behind me. Oh damn, I hope he didn't see Loke disappearing. I turned to find, a girl? She was in a blue uniform which was like a suit; sky blue jacket, black pants, black pointy shoes, white shirt and a black bow. I giggled at the sight. Were the girls here supposed to wear that kind of uniform?

Wait, but I remembered seeing those girls earlier in yellow dresses...

"What are you doing here, miss? I'm sure you're not a student here" She stated, confident with her predicament.

I nodded. "Yeah, I was wondering if you could show me the way out? I really need to get going" I explained truthfully, giving her a smile. She nodded quietly, not smiling back. I guess she's shy.

"Don't worry, I don't bite" I assured. She nodded, finally returning the smile. She gestured me to follow her. I guess I could trust her, so I obeyed. We started to walk around again.

"How did you get in the school?" She started the conversation first. I froze.

Oh, Kami help me. What should I answer?

"Um, I'm looking for schools. And I think I accidentally overslept in the field when my..." I paused. I don't really wanna say 'parents'. "Guardian came over yesterday"

Her eyes widened. "You slept for a day?" I hesitantly nodded.

"Well, yeah. I was pretty exhausted". I lied again. This was tiring. Making up lies was... stupid. Especially at the end when they find out that I was a liar...

You mean if they find out.

Are you trying to quote those two demons from Hercules?

She understood, nodding again. "So, girls get to choose pants or a dress, aye? Pretty lenient school if you ask me..."

For a second, she looked shocked. Then she seemed to calm down and a smirk was evident on her lips "I told those guys people would notice..."

I nodded, shrugging my shoulders "Well, yeah. What's wrong? I mean, it's pretty obvi...." I paused when I noticed her stop her tracks behind me. I turned, confused that she was sad all of a sudden.

I apologized, frowning a bit. "I didn't mean it, but..." I got lost with my words. But what? She stopped me with a smile.

"It's okay. Just, don't tell anyone, please?"

"Yeah, no problem" I assured.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Lucy Heartfilia" I answered.

"My name's Haruhi Fujioka. It's nice to meet you, Lucy" She said, but before I could say anything, I was grabbed by the elbow by two guys who had orange hair, bringing me away from Haruhi.

I tilted in confusion. "What?". I mumbled. The two seemed to be twins, and they realized me looking at them as they ran, bringing me somewhere.

"Oh, hello". They grinned at me before turning their heads to face forward again.

What the hell...?

My only hope;

Happy, please save me
