Summary: know the drill by now. A package from another world being discovered, blah, blah, blah, blah.

A PACKAGE FROM ANOTHER WORLD
It has been a day since Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia and Happy had returned from their mission of recovering a book from Everlue's Mansion, and the newly-minted team of mages stepped inside Fairy Tail to see if there was some new mission that they could do and earn some jewels. They were greeted by the odd sight of a rather silent and peaceful guild, as most of the Fairy Tail members currently present were hovering and leaning over the bar where Mirajane Strauss could usually be found taking orders and serving drinks as if they were trying to take a glimpse of something.
Being obviously curious about the reason that was catching the entire guild attention, Natsu called in his usual boisterous self as he approached the gathered guild-members. "HEY GUYS! WHAT YOU'RE ALL DOING CRAMPED OVER THERE!" His loud sudden call surprising everybody greatly and forcing everybody to turn around and face the rowdy flame-user.
"Hey guys, It's Natsu and his team!" Said Elfman Strauss, pointing out the obvious.
"Of course... Who else could it be but him..." Gray Fullbuster said with a huff as he crossed his arms.
The gathered guildmembers parted aside at the Salamander's approach to show Mirajane sitting on her spot in the bar with a big strange package atop the counter that she was clearly fiddling with before being interrupted by Natsu. Many other strange machines and devices were also laying all around the surface of the counter.
"Good morning Mirajane, how are you today?" Lucy said towards the pretty public face of the guild as a way of greeting before scanning over all the things currently cluttered atop the counter. "What are all these things…?"
"Good morning to you Lucy, and you too Natsu, and Happy." Mirajane said, greeting the recently formed team. "You might be wondering about all these strange things and devices I have with me here…?" She inquired, receiving a seires of nods in return. "Well I don't know what to tell you, but it seems we are being contacted by people from another world…"
"What seriously!? That is amazing!"
"Yeah!"
It was the immediate reaction of both Natsu and Happy who recoiled back in shock a little, eyes bulging out in surprise, Lucy too seemed really taken aback by those news as well.
"Yes, indeed…" Cana Alberona spoke, taking over the explanation. "When Mirajane came over to start her shift this morning, she found all these things laying behind her bar, alongside this letter." She presented a medium size notebook to the duo of mages and cat.
"That's not a letter, that's a notebook!" It was Happy's intelligent comment.
"Shut up feline before I tear off your wings!" Cana threatened.
Lucy grabbed the offered notebook and began to rapidly skim through its pages. "It's a message written in several dozen languajes…" She declared before proceeding to read out loud.
"To whoever finds this package…
First of all, I can't believe my machine worked!
Anyway… I am a scientist from a planet called Earth, for many years I've been working in an invention of mine that would revolutionate science and change the way we see the universe and our place in it by allowing humanity to travel and communicate with other realities and dimensions. So far I haven't unveiled the secret that would allow a fully grown adult to safely move between dimensions without being crushed into a mushy paste or turned into cosmic dust because of the powerful energies that clash against each other between the realms of existence. All I've been able to accomplish is sending inanimate objects safely through the ether and into the other side. But that in itself is a great accomplishment already, so I have the greatest of hopes that one day I might be able to sucessfully send a human being through the wormhole and you and I might be able to speak face to face instead through letters like this one…"
"I wish him the best of lucks. Being able to sent objects and communicate with other realms is already a great achievement on its own. But considering how talented he must be to be able to accomplish such feat on his lonesome… He might stand a serious chance of achieving his goal…" Guildmaster Makarov said from his spot above the railing on the second floor.
"Guildmaster!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise, having not noticed she was being heard by the leader of the guild.
Makarov just ignored the blonde spirit-controler's surprise with practice ease, waving off her worries with a hand. "Oh don't mind me young one, I'm just listening over these latest happenings since I must admit that I am curious too about this new development. Please continue…
"Right…!" Lucy wisely decided to acknowledge the guildmaster's request. "Ahum…"
"So in the spirit of a friendly and peaceful first metting between our worlds. I send you all of these gifts. The cases you find inside the reinforced package hold the discs that contain all of the episodes to one of my favorite shows ever, you might find it interesting since it is a battle series full of amazing fights and intersting info and techniques."
"Yes, amazing fights! Alright I'm excited already! Let's watch those fights!" Natsu exclaimed pumping his fists as a few flames burned briefly over his shoulders and back.
"Could you please wait until I finish reading this letter before opening your mouth!? Lucy snapped at the flame user.
"Normally, I wouldn't agree with the moron, but I must admit I'm curious too..." Gray said with a pedant attitude.
"Grey, where are your pants...?"
"What...!? Dammit! Not again!"
Meanwhile, Mirajane began to examine the package in question and opened it to reveal several slim cases stored inside. "Death Battle, the complete first season. The uncut, uncensored version." She said before grabbing said case and turning it over. "All your favorite fights from your favorite web series now together in a single ultimate collection, full of extras, behind the scenes, interviews, The desk of Death Battle and more. Collected and re-mastered for your greater enjoyment. Hmmmph… Sounds really interesting." The White haired beauty said as she opened the case and revealed some pretty-shining chrome-like discs that were held within.
Lucy continued reading the letter.
"Inside you will also find instructions on how to properly care and mantain the discs since they can be pretty fragile if mishandled and any damage or scratch that they might receive could potentially destroy the information they contain and leave you unable to watch its contents."
"We must protect these discs with our lives!" An excited Happy declared, much to Lucy's consternation.
"Will you stop making noise and let me finish!"
"I also send you all the devices and machines that are necessary to watch the contents of these discs plus the instructions for their use and maintenance: an LCD Flat-screen Television that is a device to visualize images and watch a great many deal of things and a Blue-Ray player, which is the device that reads the discs and sends the information to the TV which then transform it into images and sound to show it in its screen."
"Woah…! They are magical machines!" Natsu exclaimed, pissing off Lucy.
"Shut Up!"
"Note that the reason as to why I send you all these devices is because I don't know anything about the technological level and development of your world. I am unaware whether your technological scale is superior, inferior or similar to my own. So as to avoid any issue that might arise that could leave you unable to watch the discs I am sending you, I am giving you already all that is necessary for you to visualize them. Better safe than sorry as people say. I must also confess that because of this reason I've also taken the liberty to modify these devices to make sure they function using solar energy; the little devices with mirror-like panels on their backs that I'm also sending you are solar batteries that store the power of the sun when sunlight hits the panels directly. These batteries have enough capacity as to allow both the TV and Blue-Ray to function for ten hours straight of continuous use, once you connect them to their respective devices, before needing to be recharged. Like with everything else, I am also sending you with all the instructions necessary for their use and maintance.
On a last note, the last device I'm sending to you is a portable version of my machine that allows me to send objects to your world. This device is a much more restricted and limited version of my own invention that is configured to only communicate and send packages to my own device, it is also rigged so that any attempt to open it and study it will end up with the device self-destructing, this is so that no one might try to replicate my technology and use it for nefarious purposes. Anyway, I'm just sending it to you so you can communicate with me and ask me any questions in case you have doubts, plus the whole novelty of communicating with people from another Dimension.
Anyway, that's all I have to say for this message. Have fun with all the gifts I'm sending you and I hope you send me a message of your own and tell me how you liked them!"
After reading the letter, Lucy set the notebook down and let out a tired sigh. "Well… I suppose there's nothing more to do but to check all these instructions the letter was talking about and see where are we going to put all these devices and test if they work…" The blonde adviced.
Makarov nodded from his high spot. "Well then, you heard the lady. Go check those instructions and give Mirajane a hand on where she wants to install them on her bar. We can watch some of these Death Battle episodes after you're done." The diminute Guildmaster said, and all of the Fairy Tail members quickly proceed to carry out his orders…
