Chapter One: The artifact
It was a normal day for the Fairy Tail guild. People were talking, people were drinking, and people trying to bash each other's face in one of their usual brawls the guild is known for. Mostly everyone of the guild were present, with the only exception being Team Natsu, as they went on a job yesterday, though they should be returning some time today.
As everyone was doing their own thing, the doors suddenly burst wide open by a certain pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer.
"WE'RE BACK!" Natsu exclaimed, getting everyone to look at the return team of Fairy Tail Mages.
"Natsu, must you always enter the guild like that?" Lucy asked the pink haired male, who simply grinned at her.
"It's pointless, Flamebrain will always do this." Gray responded to the blonde, while getting Natsu to glare at the Ice Maker Mage by his insult.
"What did you call me Ice Stripper?!" Natsu shouted at him, as both the Fire Dragon Slayer and the Ice Maker Mage were now glaring directly at one another with both of them getting their magic ready.
"You heard me Fire Face!" Gray shouted back at his rival.
Before they could continue with their arguing both of them received a gauntlet to the head, getting them to crash into the ground, courtesy of Erza, who had a tick mark on her forehead.
"No fighting!" She ordered the two of them, as they both managed to raise thumbs up and let out a groan of pain from the blow they received.
Everyone else merely sweat drop from what they just witness.
"Erza, did you have to hit them that hard?" Wendy asked the red head, thinking that the S-Class may have been a bit rough wit them. Her Exceed partner merely scoffs at her worry for the two.
"Those knuckleheads deserved it for doing this all the time." Carla told the blue haired girl.
"Aye!" Happy shouted out his catchphrase in agreement.
After a moment, both Natsu and Gray managed to get back up on their feet, making sure to avoid the red head's wrath this time. Makarov, after seeing them done with their little fiasco, spoke up loud enough for the returned Team Natsu to hear him from the bar.
"Ah, welcome back you all." The small guild master greeted them with a smile on his face and a mug in his hand.
"Master, we have something important for you to look at." Erza informed him as she walked over to the bar where the small old man was located.
"What do you mean?" Mira, who was near Makarov behind the bar, asked the red head, wondering what her formal rival was talking about.
Erza didn't say anything as she merely pointed at Wendy. Everyone merely looked at the young Sky Dragon Slayer, before they suddenly noticed what was in her hands. The girl looked to be holding some sort of round bronze metallic machine that was the size of a watermelon. It had weird blue lights all over it as well.
Needless to say, everyone was confused.
"Uh… Erza, what is that Wendy has there?" Makarov asked the red head, hoping to get an answer.
"We don't know exactly," The Reequip Mage admitted, "We found it on our way back from the job we did in a cave. We brought it here in case it may be something important."
Everyone else in the guild was simply confused, as they don't really know what that weird device they found was or did. But that didn't mean they were interested to see if it could do anything. Makarov then spoke up once more, getting everyone to look at the small old Guild Master of Fairy Tail.
"Well, may you bring it over here so I can get a better look?" Makarov asked her, to which Erza nodded.
Wendy, who still had the device in her hand, was about to make her way over to where Erza and Makarov were at the bar. However she was interrupted as Natsu appeared in front of her and snatched the thing from her hands, which caught her off guard she would admit.
"I got it!" Natsu exclaimed as he was about to run over to the bar, but then Gray grabbed the device from the pink haired male's hands.
'I'll bring it over to them." Gray told his rival, and was about to do just that before Natsu snatched it right back from the dark blue haired male.
"No, I'll bring it over to them." Natsu responded back to the Ice Maker Mage, who didn't like the Fire Dragon Slayer from taking it from his hands.
And before anyone knew it, a tug of war basically happened between the Dragon Slayer and the Ice Maker Mage, as they refused to let go of the device they were fighting over. Naturally, this got everyone else to be both annoyed at their fighting, and frightened as they were afraid the two Wizards were going to break it.
"Will you two knock it off?!" Lucy shouted at them, getting them both to jump from the loudness of her voice.
However, when they did this, this also got them to let go of the orb-like device, making it go flying into the air. Naturally, everyone's eyes widened as they saw the device about to plow right into the hard wooden floor. Thankfully though, the machine landed without breaking in the middle of the guild, getting everyone to sigh in relief.
Before anyone could scold the two rival Mages about their mistake, the device then started to make a noise, getting everyone to turn their attention at the orb-like thing.
"…is that supposed to be happening?" Levy questioned.
Before anyone could answer her, the device then started to let out some kind of bright blue smoke from the blue lights on the orb-like machine. The smoke then went up in the air as it expanded enough to allow everyone to see it. To make it weirder, the machine also spewed out some kind of blue lighting right in front of it.
Everyone's shock grew as the bleu lighting striking in front of the machine begun to take shape in what looked like a body. It only took a moment for the machine to cease making the noise, but now everyone's attention was now on the body that just appeared in front of them all.
The being's body was completely blue, as stars and lines could be seen inside of it. To tell the truth, it looked liked a humanoid constellation one would see in the sky coming to life. That was all the others could recognize of the being as it looked around in confusion.
"…Where am I? Who woke me up from my nap?" The living constellation questioned as he saw everyone else around him.
The others merely stayed silent before they all shouted out loud.
"WHAT ARE YOU?!" Everyone yelled out, as they were absolutely confused and creep out from all of this.
"Are you a spirit?!" Natsu shouted at it, wanting to see if he guessed it right. The living constellation looked at the Fire Dragon Slayer.
"I believe that's what you mortals refer to me as," The being answered the pink haired Fairy Tail Mage, "You can call me Observer. Now may you answer my question, which of you woke me up from my nap?" The now named Observer asked the guild once more.
"Your nap?" Lucy managed to speak up, getting Observer to look at the blonde.
"Yes. My nap. I've been having a nice sleep for eons, and yet one of you woke me up." The living constellation stated to the blonde.
"Natsu and Gray did it!" Happy exclaimed as the blue Exceed pointed at the pink haired and dark blue haired males.
"Happy you traitor!" Natsu shouted at the cat.
Before Observer could speak up toward the Fire Dragon Slayer and the Ice Maker Mage, Makarov began to speak to the living constellation, getting the being to look at the small old man.
"Excuse me Oberver," The Guild Master of Fairy Tail started to say, "But what's with all the smoke that came out of your… home?" Makarov asked him. He didn't know if the being in front of him considered the device he emerged from his home, but he just went with it.
Observer turned around to see the blue smoke that now lingered over the device he came out of all.
"That? I am able to look through other timelines of this planet with it." Observer informed everyone else, getting them surprised and interested by what they were just told.
"Wait, you mean you can see alternate versions of people and Earthland?" Evergreen spoke up from her spot with the other members of the Thunder God Tribe, who were just as interested in all of this, even if they didn't show it.
"I guess you could say that, yes." Observer answered the light brown haired woman.
"Really?" Natsu, Gray, and even Gajeel were interested as all three of them said those words. This got Observer to look at the two Dragon Slayers and the Ice Maker Mage.
"Correct," The living constellation answered the three Fairy Tail Mages, before he then went on, "Would you all like to see some yourself? I believe I have enough power to show you all a few if you wish to see these other timelines." The spirit-like entity offered to the guild.
This surprised the others, as each member of the guild merely looked at one another. They are curious to see these other timelines. With a silent agreement, everyone was on board with this idea.
"Alright Observer, you may proceed." Makarov informed the being before him.
Observer simply nodded as he then began to channel his energy into the blue smoke, causing it to glow slightly as it begun to take shape.
"This is rather exciting I won't lie." Wakaba admitted to the others as he and the others waited for Observer to finish his thing.
"What do you all think we would be all like in these other timelines?" Macao asked the others in the guild, wondering what they own thoughts about that.
"I bet I'm an S-Class in one of these timelines!" Natsu exclaimed with confidence This got Gray and Gajeel to laugh a litte, getting on Natsu's nerves, "What's so funny?!"
"Yeah right, if anyone would be an S-Class it would be me." Gray responded, getting Gajeel to speak up about that.
"You wish! If there's a timeline where one of us is an S-Class, it's obviously going to be me!" The Iron Dragon Slayer exclaimed at the Fire Dragon Slayer and the Ice Maker Mage.
Everyone simply sweat drop at this as Observer finished channeling his energy.
"It is done. Do be aware that the timelines you will be won't be in any order, so don't ask me to choose a specific timeline if you think I'm able to do that." The living constellation warned them as the glowing blue smoke begun to start something.
Everyone merely looked in anticipation.
