Chapter 152: Another Fairy Tail
"But how are we going to get to Edolas?" Natsu groaned, his patience nearly spent as magical forces whisked everyone in the guild away. This kind of chaos was absolutely intolerable.
Carla remarked, "From above, that enormous hole is the passage connecting Earthland to Edolas."
"Alright, without further ado, Happy, let's go!"
"Aye!"
Happy immediately flew behind Natsu, grabbed him, and soared into the sky.
"Carla! Let's go too!" Wendy called out to Carla.
Carla hesitated.
Wendy continued, "Now that I'm part of Fairy Tail, I don't want to lose any more friends!"
Hearing Wendy's determination, Carla clenched her fists. After a moment's thought, she looked up at Wendy and declared, "Okay! But remember, if the male cat and I ever betray you, we'll kill ourselves without hesitation."
"What?!" Carla blurted, then quickly grabbed Wendy and took off into the sky.
Before long, Carla caught up with Happy and Natsu.
"Male cat, release the magic! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" someone shouted.
"Love! Woah, ah, ah, ah!" "Happy" and Wendy pushed themselves to fly even faster.
Su Yan had originally intended to search for Mystogan—who had just entered Edolas—but once inside, the process was much the same.
Then Su Yan's body began to transform. With a series of crackling sounds, sporadic dragon scales burst forth from Su Yan's exposed skin. His body swelled, and two dragon horns emerged from his forehead, giving him a fearsome appearance. His eyes turned vertical, radiating an inhuman coldness. His hands and feet twisted into what looked like dragon claws, while swirling clouds and whirlwinds gathered around him.
In a heartbeat, Su Yan transformed into a massive blue dragon and soared into the sky. In no time at all, he caught up with Happy and Carla.
"Wow!" Natsu shouted excitedly, thrilled to see Su Yan's dragon form up close for the first time.
"Accelerate! Happy! Beat Su Yan!" Natsu yelled eagerly.
"Aye!" "Happy" immediately accelerated, determined to outpace Su Yan.
Before the passage closed, several people managed to traverse it and arrive in Edolas' world.
"Oooh!!"
"This is Edolas?!"
This world was completely different from Earthland. Vast stretches of floating islands were suspended in the sky, and enormous stars hung as if just within reach. The vegetation below was unlike that of Earthland, and strange creatures flitted through the air.
"This is truly another world!"
Suddenly, the wings behind Happy and Carla vanished.
"Wow, ah, ah, ah!" Several people screamed and fell to the ground.
Su Yan then reverted to his human form and also collapsed.
"Boom!" A few individuals happened to crash into a warehouse.
"What's the matter, Happy? Have you run out of mana?" Natsu asked from the ground.
"No, no—it's just that my wings suddenly stopped working," Happy replied.
Carla observed, "Didn't you say you can't use magic freely here?"
Wendy looked at her hands and murmured, "Really... I always sense something's off."
It seemed they had landed in a warehouse—a place where one could even find clothes to disguise oneself. Several people began searching for costumes.
Suddenly, while Natsu was lying on the ground, he looked to the side in astonishment and spotted a house resembling a giant tree root with a Fairy Tail logo on it.
Natsu stood up and shouted in surprise, "It's Fairy Tail!!"
"What?!" Several people were taken aback by Natsu's words—it was uncanny to discover a Fairy Tail branch in Edolas' world.
"Although it looks different, it's still Fairy Tail!" Natsu shouted as he rushed over.
"Aye!" Happy also ran in.
"Wait a minute!" Carla yelled anxiously, but Natsu and Happy paid her no mind. They pushed open the door and rushed inside.
"These two idiots! This is a strange world!"
Su Yan's eyes lit up as he remembered that Lisanna was in the Fairy Tail branch of this world. He had wanted to visit here at first, though he never expected a guild to be found so easily.
Once found, it was simple—he could bring Lisanna back to the Fairy Tail guild.
Su Yan said, "Let's go take a look too." He was curious to see what Fairy Tail looked like in this world.
Soon, Natsu opened the door and entered, spotting many familiar faces.
"Great! Everyone is fine!"
"Wait a minute! Everyone looks suspicious!" Several people glanced around.
"Juvia is on her way to work," noted the smartly dressed Juvia.
"Wait, Juvia! I want to come with you too, how about that?" Gray, dressed in thick clothes, eagerly approached Juvia.
Juvia snickered, "I'm bored—how many layers of clothes are you wearing? Come to me in something lighter."
"Cocoa is afraid of the cold!" someone teased.
"What's the situation–?!" Natsu was stunned at the sight: Gray, normally naked, was now wearing thick clothes. And Gray's enthusiastic approach to Juvia was the complete opposite of his usual self in Fairy Tail.
Soon it became apparent that everyone had changed. Jet and Droy were scolding Elfman; Nab was busy with work; the never-stylish Macao had his hair neatly combed; Alzack and Bisca looked exhausted together; and the most outrageous was Cana, dressed in an ultra-ladylike outfit, insisting she couldn't drink at all.
"What exactly is going on?!" someone exclaimed.
"Everyone is so weird?!" murmured another.
At that moment, the entire guild noticed Su Yan and several others lurking and sneaking about.
"Hey, who are you? What are you doing hiding and sneaking around here?"
