Earthland, Outskirts of Magnolia.
The sky was shrouded in thick clouds when, at so unknown mont, a small circular point began to form in the heavens.
Then, from this single point, ripples of white magical energy spread outward in all directions.
Monts later, several figures suddenly plumted from the sky.
Boom! Thud! Crash!
A series of impact sounds rang out as the returning group from Edolas tumbled down, landing in a tangled heap, looking extrely disheveled.
"Ow, ow! Erza, get off ! You're pressing on my wounds!" Noel grimaced in pain as he felt an intense sting from his injuries, sucking in a sharp breath and speaking weakly.
"Ah! Sorry, Noel." Realizing that she had landed on him, Erza's face flushed slightly with embarrassnt, and she quickly stood up.
At the very bottom of the pile, Natsu, who had been crushed under everyone, glanced around at the familiar surroundings.
His face lit up with excitent, and with a few quick movents, he wriggled out of the heap and shouted enthusiastically, "We're back~!"
"It's just like before."
"The town of Magnolia too."
"That's a relief!"
The battle-worn group gazed at the restored Magnolia in the distance, their faces clearly showing a sense of relief.
"Wait, it's too soon to celebrate. We need to confirm the safety of the residents first," Erza said seriously, pouring cold water on the group's excitent.
"You don't need to worry."
A sudden voice from the sky made Erza pause.
She imdiately looked up and saw several Exceeds flapping their wings, soaring in the air.
One of them spoke, "The residents have already returned to Earthland ahead of you. We flew around the town to check—both the guild and the townspeople are completely safe."
"It looks like they don't even rember being trapped inside the lacrima."
"Earthland is amazing... it's filled with magic."
Natsu, Lucy, and the others stared up at the Exceeds in shock, their minds seemingly frozen in confusion.
"What's going on? Why... why are Exceeds in Earthland?" Carla furrowed her brows and voiced the question on everyone's mind.
Then, with a deep frown, she pointed at the Exceeds in discontent. "Don't joke around! These guys are dangerous—they should be sent back to Edolas!"
"Forget it, forget it."
"Extalia has already disappeared, let's just forgive them."
Happy and Wendy tried to diate.
However, neither of them was particularly persuasive, and Carla remained firmly opposed to the Exceeds staying in Earthland.
Finally, amidst the chaos, the Exceed Queen, Shagotte, stepped forward and explained everything about the past—the reason why 100 eggs had been sent to Earthland six years ago, and how, in order to keep it a secret, they had lied and claid it was a mission to eliminate Dragon Slayers.
In the end, under Shagotte's leadership, the Exceeds set off to find the children they had lost six years ago and to seek a place to live in this vast world.
At last, Carla forgave them.
"Such a heartwarming farewell," Mirajane said softly, smiling and waving as she watched the departing Exceeds.
"Yes. There's no need for tears or sorrow, because we can always et again. After all, we all live under the sa sky," Noel nodded in agreent.
"Alright, let's head back to the guild." Once the Exceeds' silhouettes had completely faded into the distance, Natsu waved his hand and suggested.
"How should we report this to everyone?"
"No... I don't think anyone even noticed what happened this ti."
"But we can't stay silent about Mystogan, can we?"
Noel's mouth twitched slightly as he watched Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza talking while making strange up-and-down hand movents.
He didn't even know how to begin comnting on it.
anwhile, Wendy couldn't hold back anymore and reminded them, "Everyone... your hands..."
"Ara, ara," Mirajane sighed helplessly, shaking her head.
"Wait a second," Gajeel suddenly seed to realize sothing.
He anxiously looked around, his voice filled with urgency. "Lily... Where is Pantherlily? I don't see him anywhere!"
"If you're talking about , I'm right here."
A deep and warm voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
Following the direction of the voice, they saw a dark black cat—who, rather than resembling a cat, looked more like a small bear—clinging to a rope not far away.
It was none other than Pantherlily, the forr captain of Edolas' First Magic War Division.
However, unlike his fierce and muscular form in Edolas, Pantherlily's size had now shrunk to be on the sa level as the other Exceeds.
"So small!!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing his new appearance.
"It seems like my body isn't quite compatible with Earthland," Pantherlily remarked calmly, showing no sign of being flustered, unlike the shocked crowd.
"Is your body okay?" Carla asked curiously.
"So far, yes," Pantherlily replied before extending his paw and pointing at Gajeel.
"I want to join the guild that took care of the prince. As per our agreent, let join, Gajeel."
A grin spread across Gajeel's face before he suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Pantherlily in a tight embrace.
"Of course, partner!!"
Finally managing to escape Gajeel's enthusiastic embrace, Pantherlily tugged on the rope in his paw. "Let's put that aside for now. I caught a suspicious person. Co over here!"
"Wait, I'm not suspicious at all!" A voice, full of grievance, echoed in the air.
A mont later, a girl dressed in blue appeared before everyone.
Her hands were tied with a rope, and on her thigh was a white Fairy Tail emblem.
She had white hair and looked flustered. "Wait, I'm also a mber of Fairy Tail!"
Noel's pupils shrank slightly as his gaze instinctively shifted to Mirajane, only to see her frozen in shock.
"Lisanna?" Natsu murmured.
"How can this be? Could it be...?"
"Lisanna? Why?"
"Is She the Lisanna from Edolas?"
At that mont, Lisanna also spotted the group.
She hesitated for a brief second before suddenly leaping forward, throwing herself into Mirajane's arms with a loud cry.
"Mira-nee!!"
"We et again... The real Mira-nee."
Lisanna's eyes grew misty with emotion as she gazed intently at Mirajane's face, having tackled her to the ground.
"Lisanna..."
Mirajane stared at Lisanna's face, so close to hers, at a loss for words.
"It's been so long, everyone. Natsu, Happy, Noel-nii, Gray, Erza... It feels so nostalgic..."
Lisanna then turned her gaze toward the others, smiling brightly.
Noticing Wendy and Lucy, she asked softly, "Are these the new mbers of the guild? Little Wendy and... you must be Lucy, right?"
"Wait a minute. Are you... the Lisanna from Earthland?" Noel asked in astonishnt.
"Mm-hmm."
Lisanna nodded lightly.
"Lisanna... you, weren't you... two years ago...?"
Mirajane finally snapped out of her daze, her blue eyes filled with disbelief as she stared at Lisanna, as if trying to confirm whether she was real or just an illusion.
Lisanna softly replied, "I didn't die. Two years ago, I think... back then, I must have been absorbed by Anima. At that ti, there must have been many small Anima in Edolas, right? When I woke up in Edolas, I was completely shocked. Even though everyone felt a little different, all the people I knew were still there... and they all believed I was the Lisanna of Edolas. I think the real Lisanna from Edolas must have already passed away... The atmosphere in the guild was just like that. I didn't fully understand it at the ti, but looking back now, maybe because Edolas had lost its Lisanna, the world used Anima to 'fill in' the missing part by bringing over... I couldn't tell the truth. I pretended to be the Lisanna of Edolas. At first, I was confused, so I acted like my mory was a bit fuzzy. I learned about Edolas bit by bit and tried to fit in... Eventually, I adapted to life in Edolas. Then, two years passed... and six days ago, Earthland's Natsu and Happy finally arrived."
"That ti?" Natsu asked excitedly. "Then why didn't you tell us the truth back then?"
Lisanna turned her head slightly, her expression complicated. "I couldn't say it... I didn't want to make Mira-nee and the others sad again. I had made up my mind to live in Edolas. But when Anima was reversed, I was sent back to Earthland, and only then did I realize... Edolas's Mira-nee and Elfman had already known all along."
"Lisanna... Lisanna!!!"
Suddenly, Mirajane lunged forward and threw her arms around Lisanna, embracing her tightly with all her strength, as if pouring out all the pain and longing she had felt over the past two years.
Crystal-clear tears stread uncontrollably down Mirajane's beautiful face, but on her lips was a radiant, joyous smile.
"Mira-nee, I'm ho," Lisanna whispered, holding Mirajane just as tightly.
Mirajane's voice was choked with emotion, but she still gently whispered in Lisanna's ear, "Welco ho, Lisanna."
