Fairy Tail - Fervent Crimson Flame plotline notes (part 3)

Tartaros Arc:

- There’s a few lulls before this arc begins in earnest… Gajeel and Rogue bond. Rusty Rose becomes acquainted with Rufus. Azuma becomes something akin to an enforcer for Erza on particularly tough jobs; he becomes acquainted with Team Crimson Flame, but doesn’t necessarily join in an official capacity. Sorano, Lucy, and Yukino still get together for that “Eclipse Spirit” arc, and the ones to backup the Celestial Wizards are Racer, Midnight, Cobra, Richard, Natsu, Wendy, Kagura, and Simon. For the “Sun Village” arc, it’s tackled by Natsu, Gray, Mira, Juvia, Elfman, Lisanna, Meredy, and Ultear.

- The “Sun Village” arc begins with Warrod calling Natsu and Gray for a job. They’re free to bring their friends, although at the time Natsu’s team is mostly out on separate jobs, so only Ultear and Meredy are able to come along. Team Mira decides to tag along with Gray, however. When they get to Warrod’s abode, Natsu greets him so casually, which Ultear and Mira get a little twitchy about. But Warrod enjoys Natsu’s cavalier attitude, having met the lad on multiple occasions because of Serena taking a shining to him. Warrod asks after his “sprouts”, who are settling into Fairy Tail at their own paces. Gray eventually gets impatient, asking about the job, and Warrod fills them in while explaining his own… hobbies. Before he helps them reach the village, Mira asks about him being a Founder of Fairy Tail, if he’s ever thought about returning to the guild over the years. But Warrod has possessed bountiful confidence in their abilities to take care of themselves, knowing that young Makarov had things well in hand, and he has just as much faith in Erza as he saw how she performed during the games. Fairy Tail doesn’t need a fossil like him, but he’s thrilled with the progress they’re making on eliminating the Balam Alliance.

- Natsu and co. soon learn that the Treasure Hunter trio has their best chance of freeing the village through a bottle of Moon Drip… And Minerva has come along with a Succubus Eye member to get revenge for the Grand Magic Games’ outcome. Ultear stays behind to learn more about the Sun Village, leaving the trio to the rest of their team to pursue. Unfortunately for the trio, they decide to split up with two staying behind to slow the group of Fairy Tail mages… And only Gray, Juvia, Lisanna, and Elfman stay behind. Natsu, Meredy, and Mira soar in pursuit of the remaining treasure hunter who’s still running. Elfman and Lisanna take on Hammer Rala, Gray and Juvia take on Sword Hiroshi, and Natsu, Meredy, and Mira take on Sniper Drake.

- They make short work of the treasure hunters… But the Moon Drip gets shattered mid-fight, and it was never going to be enough to free the Eternal Flame. Ultear is slowly piecing together what happened to the village when it was iced over, but there’s not enough clues to get the whole truth, much less reverse what’s happened. Minerva confronts Ultear once Doriate has used his power to de-age her; Ultear knows that she’s at a clear disadvantage the way she is, so she focuses on evasive maneuvers. Unfortunately for Minerva, Ultear trained pretty harshly as a child, so while Ultear is handicapped, she’s still a fierce fighter with Ice Make Magic. Meanwhile, Doriate tries crushing the other Fairy Tail mages, de-aging them… But Gray manages to channel Devil Slaying Magic through the ice, and eventually manages to defeat Doriate, who gets eaten by his flying comrade. Once they’re back to normal, Natsu pummels the flying enemy, and Ultear makes short work of Minerva, who beats a hasty retreat.

- Ultear connects back up with everyone, and they make it to the Eternal Flame as Gray melts the ice and Natsu feeds it some fire to help it out. Without Wendy, they’re not able to channel Atlas Flame’s spirit… But with all the power that Natsu fed it, the Flame subconsciously frees the village, and the giants fill the mages in on the single man that came and froze everything. He was here on a demon hunt… But clearly, the Eternal Flame isn’t a demon; it’s not even alive. Natsu still deduces it’s the remnants of Atlas Flame, some of his spirit living on… And he feeds the flame some more power before leaving with his friends. Ultear is curious about this “Devil Slaying Magic”, but Gray can’t really explain it too well how he was able to channel it… With the ice gone, it’s not like Ultear can try it for herself… But she muses that if that man is still out there, perhaps they’ll deal with him someday. Minerva returns to Succubus Eye headquarters to find her guildmates all dead, Kyoka’s handiwork as she tried to enhance them. She attempts to enhance Minerva…

- The Fairy Tail team returns to Warrod on foot, and he shares a night of fellowship with them now that their mission is complete. He shares Mavis’s words with them, her feelings as Fairy Tail’s First Master. Warrod can see perfectly well that they embody that same passionate spirit, even in Ultear who expresses modesty over her time in Fairy Tail. Warrod doesn’t have information on END, but he suspects Tartaros is harboring a Demon from the Book of Zeref, and they share what his “sprouts” knew about Tartaros… Information they never shared with him out of pride. Warrod appreciates the sentiment, but there’s not much he can do with it, retired as he is. Still, he has faith that Fairy Tail will bring down the last key member of the Balam Alliance…

- With Jellal dead, Tartaros needs only to kill two more Councilors before Face is unleashed. Kyouka has Crawford locate the retired Councilmen, and he also begins work on transferring them to himself… It’ll take a while.

- … That said, there is nothing to stop Jackal, Tempester, Ezel, Torafuzar, and even Sayla from going out to tackle their agenda imprecisely. Kyouka, Franmaith, Silver, and Keyes stay behind at headquarters. Jackal attacks the Council as they meet to discuss Tartaros; and the others go after members that retired within the past seven years. Mest attempts to save Councilman Org and Lahar… But Jackal ends up killing him. The attack on the Council is heard far and wide, advertised in the newspapers in the coming days.

- Laxus and the Thunder Legion repel Tempester, as they are conveniently around helping Yajima and Makarov out with the restaurant, but like in canon… there are the Bane Particles they get infected with. Laxus sucks up most of the toxins, but it’s still going to be a rough recovery for all of them. When the Thunder Legion, Yajima, and Makarov are rushed to Fairy Tail’s infirmary, and officials move too disinfect the area where Tempester exploded, many members of Fairy Tail are present, concerned for their friends’ lives.

- With Tartaros making their move, Erza rallies the Guild for this last major battle with the Balam Alliance. Natsu, the Strauss Siblings, Gray, Juvia, Simon, Meredy, Wendy, Kagura, Gajeel, Levy, Jet, Droy, Lucy, Loke, Capricorn, Erik, Kinana, Wally, Richard, Sho, Cana, Millianna, and Azuma are all there in the infirmary to see the infected patients for themselves. Macao, Wakaba, Romeo, Warren, Max, Laki, the dancer, Nab, and the Exceeds are also there. Sawyer, Macbeth, Sorano, Rusty Rose, and Ultear are all right outside, listening in. They win this, that coalition of Dark Guilds will be much more disorganized. But that said… there is much for them to do, including getting the blood Porlyusica needs to heal Makarov, Yajima, Laxus, and the Thunder Legion. Erza sends out messages to Allies such as Blue Pegasus, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, and Quatro Cerberus to get reinforcements for this fight; though because she’s just sending them out now, Ultear proposes that they get help from a more… unlikely source. And so Erza gives her the go-ahead to take Simon and Meredy to go negotiate with the Rune Knights to release a certain prisoner…

- Meanwhile, poring over the information they have on-hand, they learn the retired Chairman is missing – even from his secret home, after they go to look for him there – and so Erza has Natsu get to work tracking him down, as only he could answer as to why Tartaros is going after Councilors. Ultear has no idea, and nearly all the other Councilors, past and present, have been slaughtered by Tartaros. Gajeel is depressed at Belno’s passing, and Sayla gets the drop on Lucy’s group as they arrive too late to save Michello, deeming it interesting enough to capture a Celestial Wizard and keep the Spirits at bay. Jet and Droy try to save her, but Sayla incapacitates all of them and whisks them away to Tartaros.

- Erza leaves the Guild to go support Natsu who may have a lead on Tartaros’ headquarters. While she’s away, Jackal moves in to attack Fairy Tail due to them being the ‘biggest obstacle’ to their plans. They have a harder time beating him back with diminished manpower; it’s only after Azuma, Rusty Rose, Elfman, and Lisanna work together that they’re able to get him to self-detonate, which regrettably takes the Guild Hall with him – though Cana and Sho are able to save everyone with their Card Dimensions, and the Exceeds will eventually take them to attack Tartaros when Natsu and Erza have a concrete location for Tartaros’ base.

- Upon arrival at Tartaros’ base, Natsu, Erza, and Happy encounter Franmaith, who proves to be a troublesome opponent. Yet they find a way to defeat him after he reveals some details of his Curse off-handedly. No sooner do they do that, however, than do Keyes and Silver arrive upon hearing the scuffle. Understandably, Natsu, Erza, and Happy retreat when their Magic has little effect on these new foes – though they do take note Silver’s uncanny resemblance to Gray…

- The Exceeds are en route with Fairy Tail’s forces, as are Ezel, Torafuzar, and Sayla upon hearing from Crawford that they took out the two Councilors holding the Keys to Face. Natsu and Erza might have ‘retreated’, but only to the point that they were flying around Tartaros’ base. They eventually find another entry point and beat back the grunts guarding the entrance, unwittingly giving their Guild an opening to invade the base.

- Mira, Gray, Erik, Richard, Macbeth, Sawyer, Sorano, Rusty Rose, and Azuma lead the charge inside Cube after their forces land. Though honor might have held them back from attacking Tartaros before, the former Dark Guild members are past the point of holding back. They’ve attained better futures, and Tartaros is attempting to wipe out all Magic from the continent… Tartaros made an enemy of everyone. Mira and Azuma eventually find themselves in Hell’s Core, where Jackal is almost regenerated, and Franmalth is beginning the process (Tempester is already up and about again). Lucy was also stuffed in a vat to attempt to make her into a demon, but the process has barely started. The two handily defeat Lamy, but that gives Jackal enough time to emerge and start his counterattack. Eventually, Azuma keeps him at bay long enough for Mira to destroy Hell’s Core, preventing Franmalth from (fully) regenerating and any of the other Demon Gates who eventually get beaten. Some form of backup arrives for Jackal in the form of Sayla, and Macbeth arrives to give Azuma a reprieve from Jackal, who just about overwhelmed him.

- The Rune Knights are against releasing Hades due to Tartaros raising hell. Still, Ultear makes leverage out of her former Councilwoman status, as one of the remnants of Ishgar’s old guard; she will take full responsibility if all goes wrong, but they NEED his help in this dark houor. Hades is only mildly surprised at his old student’s arrival, and makes no moves to attack once he’s free of his cell, to Simon and Meredy’s shock. Ultear is confused by Hades’ fond attitude towards her and how casually he asks after Rusty, Azuma, and Meredy, but he reveals that this is part of his concessions for being beaten by Makarov and his children. If Fairy Tail is approaching their fallen foes for assistance, then there is only one thing left for Hades to do. He heard from Warrod about Tartaros potentially cannibalizing its allies, and that led Hades to declare their pact with Tartaros ‘broken’; and therefore, reparations were in order. He had little doubt that Fairy Tail would wage war with Tartaros directly… so there was no point in heading there; though he welcomes Ultear, Meredy, and Simon to try if they must. Unable to contain their curiosity (and wariness), they follow Hades to see what he would do instead.

- Kyouka makes the same mistake as in canon and kills off Crawford before he can detonate Face remotely. This gives Erza the time to attack her, while she sends Wendy to dismantle Face before one of the Demon Gates can get to it. Kyouka similarly sends Ezel to beat the Sky Dragon Slayer to their prize. Inevitably, Wendy defeats Ezel and dismantles Face, but Mard Geer uses Alegria in retaliation to dispose of the Fairy Tail mages.

- Lucy has her moment like in canon, Sorano is also a survivor and aids her against Jackal and Torafuzar; there are still seven Demon Gates prowling around, and the Spirit King gets summoned and obliterates Cube, scattering Tartaros’ forces and gaining Mard Geer’s attention.

- Jackal was going to finish Lucy and Sorano off, but he gets intercepted by Kagura, Sawyer, and Richard, who defeat the Demon Gate in his weakened state. However, Torafuzar shows up to strike them down, and gets intercepted by Gajeel and Rusty Rose. Then Keyes arrives and gets intercepted by Juvia and Erik. Silver arrives and gets intercepted by Gray and Azuma. And finally, Tempester shows up and gets intercepted by Natsu.

- Silver separates Gray from the pack; and similarly, Natsu separates Tempester from the others when it’s revealed he was the one to contaminate Gramps, Mr. Yajima, and the Thunder Legion; Azuma and Sorano race off to help him out (Sorano briefly having Sawyer carry her to catch up to Natsu). This leaves Gajeel, Kagura, Rusty Rose, Richard, Erik and Juvia to fight Keyes and Torafuzar, to keep them from killing Lucy. Sawyer goes to back up Gray after dropping off Sorano; though the Ice Make mage really isn’t in the mood considering who the enemy before them is. They beat Silver, but Gray quickly learns that if Keyes is defeated, his father will ‘die’; Juvia, Erik, and Richard beat Keyes when the others struggle against his Curse, but that does leave them vulnerable to Torafuzar, so it’s up to Gajeel, Rusty Rose, and Kagura to take him down. They come to discover steel is sharp enough to cut through the demon, and even with Torafuzar flooding the ruins, they manage to strike him down – though unknown to them, Torafuzar barely managed to cling onto life as he lay defeated.

- Mira and Sayla pick up their battle again, as does Erza and Kyoka. Minerva intercedes on this battle, wishing to get revenge on Erza… But she comes to listen to Erza’s words, and Kyoko mortally wounds her for betraying Tartaros, picking up the battle with Erza in earnest. Kyoka is defeated by the redhead… And through Macbeth’s timely assist, Mira manages to bring down Sayla, who’s kept alive in a weakened state.

- After he gets some of the blood needed for Porlyusica, Natsu beats Tempester with Sorano and Azuma’s help (Gray saves them by freezing the Bane Particles in the air). Mard Geer ends up in a stalemate with the Celestial Spirit King, but Lucy’s power runs out, and the King must return to the Spirit World. But before Mard Geer can move on to annihilate the Fairies who have taken out his Nine Demon Gates, he gets confronted by Sting and Rogue, who have charged ahead of their Guild to help out Fairy Tail, while the others try and help take out some of the Faces that have recently risen up.

- In Magnolia, Hades and co. arrive at the ruins of the Fairy Tail Guild Hall, where he goes to ‘release the light’ in order to deal with the Faces. Ultear, Simon, and Meredy are hesitant when Hades clarifies what Lumen Histoire – or rather, Fairy Heart is. Ultear recognizes the unstable weapon that Fairy Heart is, and orders Hades to desist with his plans; there is a tense standoff with Hades and Ultear as he declares it to be the only way to stop the Faces. Hades muses that Ultear has soiled her hands in blood before, she has no excuse to hold back when an entire continent is riding on this. Ultear fires back that unleashing a veritable bomb like Fairy Heart could crush Magnolia and all the towns around it if used… Hades declares it to be a numbers game at that point; a few towns versus a whole continent, who would you save? But Ultear is not moved; the moment you treat any human lives as mere sacrifices for the “greater good”, you become one with the darkness you swore to fight against. Hades asks how Ultear can follow that thorny path of light when she herself has already committed so many atrocities… And she explains that it was thanks to being exposed to Natsu and Gray… Though ultimately, it was Zeref himself who pointed out the uselessness and futility of Grimoire Heart’s endeavors, how all their “sacrifices” of countless people were just the mad ravings of cultists, not a single sacrifice was worth what they were building towards. Being with Natsu and Gray… and Fairy Tail as a whole… She was filled with a warmth that the Balam Alliance stole her away from just because she was “useful”. Hades does not deny his part in dragging her down to the darkness with him; he’s merely floored that she could rise up again in spite of everything. Even Meldy possesses a vitality that she hadn’t while a part of Grimoire Heart, and it’s jarring to bear witness to. For these reasons, he uses a spell to mentally nudge Simon to get Ultear and Meldy far away from here; it’s a dirty trick, but Ultear misunderstands his intentions as Hades merely stuck in his ways. Even with Simon teleporting them out of Magnolia, toward the ruins of Tartaros, Ultear rushes back on-foot to stop Hades… But her sinking stomach is a good indicator that even she knows she’ll be too late to stop him. Still… Hades only uses Fairy Heart to systematically obliterate all of the Faces scattered around the continent. And much to Ultear’s shock, the immense power doesn’t flatten Magnolia, it’s a controlled scatter-blast that she can’t help but be amazed by. … But when she manages to get back to Fairy Tail’s ruins… She finds Hades on his deathbed. Fairy Heart didn’t take any lives… because he made himself a catalyst for unleashing the potent magic. And no mere human can handle that much power, not for very long… And Hades was already frail because his Devil’s Heart was so weakened. In the end, Hades was always going to sacrifice himself; it was his atonement to Mavis and Makarov… But hearing Ultear so passionate, so determined to do the right thing… Precht became confident and unwavering in his decision. He forsakes the name Hades in his final moments, reluctantly accepting his original name once more. Precht implores Ultear to help Erza look after the guild… Even Makarov has retired, so Precht has no business sticking his nose in their business anymore. It's time for a new generation to make its mark on the world, and he can only hope that his mistakes have not doomed Mavis’s guild. In spite of her resolve to not cry for Precht breathing his last… Ultear sheds many tears. Even if he used her, Precht had still taken her in; taught her magic, allowed her to take care of Meldy… She will never forgive the Balam Alliance for separating her from her mother, but like it or not she had a bond with Precht. He was the closest thing to a father that she ever had… Makarov picked up where he left off, but Precht had been there first. She weeps over Precht’s death… But thanks him for saving everyone.

- Enraged at the plan completely falling apart, Mard Geer aims to eliminate both Fairy Tail and Sabertooth for interfering, but his puppet Jiemma gets taken down by Sting and Rogue, and he himself gets taken down by Natsu and Gray. They think they’ve won, but Acnologia descends, and the Dragon of the Apocalypse once more proves to be too much for the members of Fairy Tail. It is only when Igneel emerges from Natsu that they seem to stand a fighting chance; even moreso when Grandeeney, Metalicana, Weisslogia, and Skiadrum emerge from Wendy, Gajeel, Sting, and Rogue. As the dragons fight to save Fairy Tail and their allies, Zeref also arrives on the scene. He congratulates Natsu and Fairy Tail on defeating his library… Mard Geer is severely weakened after losing, but he makes a last ditch effort to summon END by opening the book, seal be damned he needed to TRY. Zeref, Natsu, and Gray are all shocked at this desperate move as opening the Book causes magic seals to burst out into the air relentlessly and for Natsu’s memories to return to him, and Zeref quickly becomes enraged at Mard Geer. He turns the Demon King back into a book, but before he can incinerate Mard Geer… Natsu gets in his way. Tartaros was HIS guild long ago, and though his memories are just returning he won’t let Zeref do as he pleases anymore. Fairy Tail and countless others have suffered because of Zeref, and this needs to end now. Still, Zeref manages to reclaim the book and seal it shut once more before Natsu can regain too much of his past and powers. This puts Natsu back in an amnesiac state, and Zeref puts Gray to sleep after wiping his memories of this encounter as well. It certainly wouldn’t do for either Natsu or Gray to remember any of this… He considers executing Mard Geer for overstepping his bounds… Yet to honor how far Natsu has come, he spares the Demon King. Tartaros is in shambles, and likely won’t pose a problem to him in the coming war. He restores Mard Geer to his humanoid form, and departs in a fateful gust of wind.

- Despite the numbers, Acnologia still massacres his five enemy dragons and then leaves without annihilating the Fairy Tail members (though notably, Igneel still tore off Acnologia’s arm). In their dying moments, the dragons impart the truth of what they did to their Dragon Slayers, and Natsu still retains a bit of Igneel’s power. Natsu experiences Igneel’s farewell in a dream, which he rushes to wake up from and go to his dad… But it’s too late. Igneel fades away…

- Fairy Tail regroups, and Erza learns that Fairy Heart was used by Hades, which initially makes her furious that Ultear ALLOWED him to do something so reckless… But when she hears Ultear’s account, she grimly accepts that Precht managed to do something noble in the end. It doesn’t erase all of his sins that he committed over the past decades… But without his sacrifice, Face would have activated and left them vulnerable to Tartaros and Acnologia. Meredy, Rusty Rose, and Azuma take Precht’s death pretty hard… But Azuma was fully aware the old man didn’t have much longer anyway. There’s no shame in dying like Precht did.

- Even so, Magnolia is in tatters from Tartaros crashing nearby, the Guild Hall is obliterated, and both Zeref and Acnologia are still threats on the horizon. Unbeknownst to Fairy Tail, Mard Geer has gathered Sayla, Torafuzar, and Franmalth and bitterly departed the town. Unlike Natsu and Gray, Mard Geer is able to recollect some of his memories when Zeref appeared… He knows that through his last ditch action, the Dragon Slayer Natsu was affected by the Book of END. … Meaning that Natsu is the Master they’ve been searching for. Mard Geer already deduced why they were all “returning” to Zeref, but the final piece they were missing was END, and he was right there. And now that the Demons of Tartaros remember their ultimate goal, it makes their clash with Fairy Tail all the more bitter, wasteful, and frustrating. They never should have fought the Fairies… Mard Geer in particular is furious. Not because they killed senselessly; he could care less about that… At least if it had led to accomplishing their ultimate goal. But all that came out of this venture was their forces getting obliterated, barely a third of the Demon Gates remaining. Master END was right there all along, Fairy Tail was his new home. Mard Geer has no business facing their Master, not when he won’t even understand or remember that they were allies… But the four of them will not cause trouble for Natsu anymore. They will leave Fairy Tail alone. … And they will raze Zeref utterly and completely, as they were designed for that task alone. Franmalth, Torafuzar, and Sayla all echo his determination, all having distant memories of their Master and how they were all comrades in arms. For Natsu to fall into the hands of Fairy Tail… It makes sense, given how much of a family they are. Sayla especially misses her Master… But they brought this on themselves, and must carry on alone.

- Makarov attempts to advise Erza to disband Fairy Tail, as he knows precisely who their next big enemy will be, aside from Zeref and Acnologia. However, Erza declines his advice on several grounds. For one, they pretty much splintered the Balam Alliance; all that’s left is to hunt down the remaining minor Guilds, who will be in disarray now. Secondly, Tartaros affected them deeply – they needed each other more than ever. Thirdly, by keeping the Guild united after this struggle, they will give hope to Fiore and all of Ishgar as a whole. Whatever looming threat may be on the horizon, they can take it together. Makarov is impressed by her resolve, though he goes on to tell her just what has him so worried. Yet despite telling her this, Erza remains confident in her decision; Makarov once more leaves the Guild in her capable hands and goes off to Alvarez to buy Fairy Tail as much time as he can.

- Erza, Ryo, and Mikoto comfort both Natsu and Wendy for their losses; Levy comforts Gajeel and Lucy; and Juvia comforts Gray. Like Makarov, the Thunder Legion and Yajima made full recoveries. Having experienced crushing defeats before, the former Oracion Seis and Grimoire Heart members help Fairy Tail to bounce back. Sorano helps comfort Lucy; Sawyer, Macbeth, Richard, Wally, Erik, Kinana, Rusty Rose, and Azuma help with construction efforts; Meredy comforts Juvia and Gray; Ultear comforts both Gray and Natsu. Yukino hears about what happened with Aquarius and Lucy, and also stops on by to comfort her with Sorano. Minerva rejoins Sabertooth, tearfully overwhelmed at the warm welcome she receives; in the coming days, she and Sting go to Yukino to properly apologize for her father excommunicating her from Sabertooth. Sting’s already apologized plenty, but it means a lot that Minerva is making an effort, and Yukino reiterates she’s still happy with Mermaid Heel… But she knows that they’ll make Sabertooth into a better guild. Flare, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, and Quatro Cerberus send Fairy Tail their condolences for their losses… It takes Ultear some time, but she gets the Guild Hall back to its original state, and restores much of Magnolia as well. There are still mental and emotional scars from this latest conflict, but for the most part the physical damage is taken care of… Erza approaches Simon, Meldy, and Ultear since they’re the only other ones besides her and Natsu that know about Fairy Heart. Makarov would force them to forget about the guild’s greatest secret… But with Mest gone, there’s not a way for Erza to make them forget; nor would Erza want to do that, even if she was able to. Erza knows the Fairy Heart must remain top secret, but she trusts Natsu, Simon, Meldy, and Ultear to not go spreading it around. The rest of the continent is unaware of the exact circumstances of Face getting wiped off the map, and Erza intends on keeping it that way; if she had it her way, Fairy Heart would be dismantled and the First Master properly buried… Alas, Erza doesn’t even know where to begin with those efforts. She’s tried breaking through the crystal before, but it’s going to take a lot of power to wreck it… And with the guild recently restored, Erza’s not in a mood to attempt destroying the crystal. They just… need to keep it a secret a while longer. Everyone has a lot of work ahead of them, more threats to deal with… But Fairy Tail is ready to face the future together.

I saw you were taking asks? I have a few questions I'd love to hear your answers.

What is your favorite side ark in the fossil fighters games?

Favorite characters/character dynamics?

Not a question, but I would love to hear about your personal headcannons about characters and such.

Have you ever thought about Dinaurian lore?

I'd love to hear all your thoughts on this, it's so rare that anyone has anything to say about the games. If you don't answer all (or any of them) that's totally fine! ^^

Hiya!! This got a bit long so here's the cut-off:

Favorite side ark in the fossil fighters games?

Oh gosh it's hard to decide because two certain arks are my favorite: The Nick Nack ark in the original and the Princess Pooch ark in Champions.

I feel like they mix in just the right amount of zany with plot progression to feel both fun and important errands! Princess Pooch's helps with unlocking the Miraculous Fossils and keeps the weird lore of dogs being intelligent enough to Fossil Battle from the first game and Nick Nack's even ties in Dr. Diggin's lost sandals. Nick Nack also has one of the most memorable themes lol.

Favorite characters/character dynamics?

Dynamic-wise: Hands down, the BB Brigade in Champions. They play off of each other so well and (even though I think their writing with Don/Joe is flawed) I wish we could have seen them more with Joe after the main story!!! The Patrol Team even has a great dynamic that is very fleshed out by the end of the game. I'm even enjoying Becky and Sean's sibling relationship in Frontier at the moment. Also, I like Dynal's dynamics/interactions with EVERYONE in the original. The guy clearly brings a presence that makes you want to pick at him, especially with Dr. Diggins, Raptin, and Duna.

Characters: OBVIOUSLY Joe Wildwest!!!!!!! Other favorites include Duna, the BB Brigade, Patrol Team, Drake, Violet, and Sean and Becky are growing on me.

Headcannons?

TONS!!!! Oh god UUHHHHH WHERE TO BEGIN-

Stella is takes her job the most seriously but she also wouldn't she she's married to her job of being a Staff Leader. Joe can trust her with almost anything in the park. She's also a lesbian.

Terry and Kent are not as professional as Stella but they still take their job seriously. Terry tends to be more aloof while Kent would rather snowboard. They are Bi but don't really seem interested in dating as they are currently in positions that make it hard to date.

Dr. Diggins was probably really scared to see Dynal again after the Guhnash battle because Dynal is going to learn one way or another that he stole the Dinurian tech from that crashed ship. Dynal eventually is told the truth by him and just goes 'okay' since it's not much of a big deal anymore.

I have this very specific headcannon that curators and just fossil fighters in general who work in museums have to have an impressive cleaning record. The cleaning side quests in the first game and the Hare Club stuff in Champions helped fuel this.

Dino and Dina are fraternal twins! Dino even is Autistic and Dina has ADHD.

Vivosaur battles are really taught in school unlike much other monster collecting and battling games and other RPGs but rather it's treated much like a sport with scientific and historical roles as well. I much tend to think that Hunter and Rosie and other kids on Vivosaur Island are there since it's summer break. The Patrol Team each have their own reasons for getting to be at Caliosteo: Dina and Dino are home-schooled, Todd was able to tag along since he became friends with them for being home-schooled as well, Pauleen probably doesn't get public school and obviously ran off to join the tournament, and Rupert gets his schedule managed by someone else but he probably goes to a tight private school that's flexible with their students being absent for periods of time.

Frontier does make it canon that everything takes place on an Earth similar to our own with the same countries but I chose to believe France doesn't exist. That's Nomadistand now. They're separated far from other countries? Well I guess they have some wide rivers now for borders.

Vivosaurs can be kept as pets but there are many laws and risks that come with it. Smaller vivosaurs are easier to tame but larger ones are more challenging. They're treated much the same as exotic pets: Yeah, it's nice to own one, but it's not very safe.

Nevada and Joe have a rivalry going on that doesn't make much sense to everyone else but it does keep journalists busy whenever a fossil tourney is announced. Sean also ties into this but he's more of the mediator who was invited to eat pizza and watch a documentary with friends not sit awkwardly on the couch and watch as his two friends throw pillows at one another to try and counter-argument each other about the topics of the documentary.

Duna barely remembers much of her home planet but Raptin, being older, does. This is possibly why he was more enraged by Duna's betrayal.

I think Joe and Rupert should get therapy animals/vivosaurs after Champions to help with the body-stealing trauma. As a treat. Rupert should get a fluffy white great pyrenees dog named Antionette and Joe should get a nine-banded armadillo named Sundance.

Rosie gets really into fossil battles to the point she goes pro and that's why she's at Caliosteo. She eventually finds out she'd Bi and dates Duna in the future (Duna finds herself identifying as a lesbian).

^The whole romance thing was kind of just brought on due to the amount of thrilling moments with Hunter so both Rosie and Duna kind of fall out of romantic love with him but still have a tight bond that borders on family.

Hunter also eventually goes pro with fossil battling but prefers to travel more. Rosie and Duna eventually get a quiet house on Vivosaur Island together and Hunter also lives there when he's not traveling. :)

I think Holt and Todd should meet up and be friends. :)

Pauleen would get really into fashion design when she's older. She's mostly inspired by fire type vivosaurs.

Rupert takes over his dad's company and even learns to ride a motorcycle.

Todd gets into rogue vivosaur wrangling since he finally found his courage during the events of Champions. :)

Dina takes over the park and Todd is her secretary.

Dino gets to go pro at fossil battles since he was better at making strategies and vivosaur teams (Dina's top strategy is 'hit everything with sharp claws and teeth really fast') and he gets a lot of trophies. He also gets to be Rupert's boyfriend/partner. :)

Cole gets to go back to school and gets back into his robotic engineering degree (he failed to earn all of his credits the first time around and just decided to drop out since he didn't like his professors anyway). He eventually finds work at FossilDig and Caliosteo making cleaning devices. Sometimes, when he's mad, he threatens to make Five Nights at Freddy's real.

Lola has a harder time deciding to go back to school since she failed her medical science classes. It takes some encouragement and inspiration from Cole and Lester to help her along.

Lester tries to follow his dream of being a musician again and gets to form his own rock band! They call themselves the 'B-0NES' in tribute to the BB Brigade.

Joe Wildwest is gay. :)

Zongazonga's corpse is stuck in eternity as a tourist attraction.

If you want more I leak headcannon stuff onto this workplace parody account on here that's also a bit RP-ish: @realjoewildwest

Have you ever thought about Dinaurian lore?

Actually I have!! I've seen some headcannons floating on here with Dinurians messing with Guhnash's origins. I also think that they also traded with other aliens before they came to Earth since running a huge ship does take a certain amount of supplies to manage. Unsurprisingly, I choose to also believe that nearly every Dinurian can have a battle hologram.

I also think that white-hair can also be a sign of aging but those with white hair and pale skin are usually linked in some way to the royal bloodline that is King Dynal's. It's only Dynal who carries on the royal bloodline these days, however.

When I say 'big space ship' I mean big enough that the Dinurians have a safe gene pool for repopulation methods. It was probably initially made for the purpose of escaping their home planet months in advance since their methods of destroying Guhnash kept failing.

#mvf responds #fossil fighters #fossil fighters champions #tyyyyy!!!!!!!#this one got away from me again lolllll #i also have a fic called 'Fly Away with Me' for more headcanons and stuff (mostly Joe stuff lol)

Frontier Branch Leaders, pt. 3: Drake and Liu Ren

Pt. 1: Background Information

Pt. 2: Sean

Drake

-I stated in an earlier post on this blog that he's 27. Please forget that. He's probably on the cusp of 39 (circa 2015, at the beginning of Frontier).

-Originally from Sweden; moved to Copenhagen a few years before Frontier started.

-Absolutely hates the sensation that occurs when he enters his ancestral battle trance. To him, it's as being possessed, not to mention being utterly exhausting. Starting in his teens, he'd often have periods of abruptly losing control of this trance, and lashing out, sometimes violently, against tormentors and, in worse cases, family. Violet's interest in mysticism allowed her to help him work out what was going on, and slowly learn to detect when a wave of possession was imminent.

-Loves his Ankylo BO because he needn't fear injuring it during one of his trances. He feels most comfortable around padded and armoured vivosaurs.

-For a long time, he tried, desperately, to minimise the length of time he had to spend around children and, by extension, the youngest of the Wardens. He's terrified of hurting people accidentally. Moreover, he finds most people too loud, too much, too extraverted to deal with.

-Has a surprisingly excellent relationship with Sean, who quickly worked out that Drake was intensely sensitive to Sean's typical loudness. As such, Sean usually drops his volume around Drake, and where possible, emails or texts him, instead of talking, on bad days. When Drake's overloaded trying to handle the caseload that comes with managing not only Europe, but also cases in Africa, Sean will often offer to take over some of Drake's more menial duties. Drake, in return, bakes for him, and brings him odd fossil trinkets and weird rocks.

-Despite how much he hates loud people, he loves Scandinavian death metal.

-Known to abuse the World Gate to conveniently escape people. ('Sorry I can't come to your birthday, friend. I'm in Chile right now.')

-Suffered significantly with OCD from childhood, being at his worst in his teens and mid-twenties. He waited for almost 15 years before finally seeking help. While he still has intrusive thoughts and compulsions, they're far better managed now. His social anxiety is also significantly better than it once was.

-Was diagnosed with autism at age 4. Will scream if someone enters his office unexpectedly.

-Has some of the same powers as Violet—however, while she can communicate with spirits and occasionally see the future, he can merely hear spirits and detect psychic energy, but can't actually manipulate them well. Generally, if he can hear his ancestors chattering, he knows his bloodthirsty side is about to take over.

-Blows off frustration by punching pillows. If he punches walls instead, he will leave cracks in the plaster.

-Speaks Swedish and Danish fluently, as well as German and English proficiently. Has a very, very strong accent.

-Visits Switzerland all too often for the sole sake of buying too much Toblerone. Violet can and will raid his supply if there's any left by the time he returns to Fossil Park Europe, so he has about three days to consume everything he buys before she can find him.

-INTP 6w5 sp/sx.

Liu Ren

-Originally from Shanxi. Swears he's forty-eight years old, but Drake and Violet both detect a particular spiritual energy coming from him that's far too immense for him to be a normal forty-something. Writes exclusively in traditional Chinese, never mind that simplified characters have been in use since well before the 80s. Moreover, he's clearly far smarter than he lets on. Violet and Drake are both absolutely certain he's at least a century old, and aren't entirely sure he's human.

-Writes his name as 劉仁, but Violet swears that certain Qing-dynasty documents by 劉陽磊, a mystic and self-proclaimed witch, give off the same energy as Liu Ren's own writings.

-Fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, six other Chinese dialects, English, and Portuguese.

-Tends to playfully rib Tria for her extremely strong Sichuan accent.

-Consumes obscene amounts of Sprite and Coca-Cola. Nobody knows how his teeth are still intact.

-When other Wardens get injured, he'll tell them to cheer up, and inevitably have a story of a similar injury. As such, he's been poisoned, burned, bruised, and broken over and over. Nobody knows how he's had time to suffer all these abuses, let alone recover.

-Drake and Sean both overtly dislike him. In part, it's that Fossil Park Asia has a longstanding rivalry with Fossil Park America, and that rivalry means that Sean tends to interpret Liu Ren's gestures as patronising, instead of circumspect, and Liu Ren thinks Sean to be green and overconfident. Drake's suspicions about Liu Ren's history remind him of his own supernatural tendencies, leading him to deeply distrust Liu Ren. Stryker is the only one at HQ who isn't concealing some kind of misgivings about Liu Ren, and even then, Stryker is notoriously unwilling to take orders. While Liu Ren has been there far longer than Stryker, and Stryker owes some success to Liu Ren, they exasperate each other.

-He's been in the job for over 25 years, and looked the same then as now. Though few people like him well, he's still impossible to boot from the position, as he's never actually done anything overtly wrong. Fossil Park America claim that he's overpowered and obsolete; Fossil Park Asia claim that he's done more for INTERFOL than Fossil Park America has in the last three decades combined. He's possibly the most experienced person in INTERFOL, and doesn't seem to be running out of momentum; as such, he's invaluable, even if he's incomparably ill-liked.

-Though he's not overtly frayed at the edges in the same way that many, many Wardens are, he can and will go very, very quiet if someone mentions anything to do with Cosmonium, and when he touches the stuff, he claims that it burns. Drake is starting to wonder if Liu Ren's apparent agelessness might have something to do with Cosmonium, and if there may be some awful incident at the heart of what drove him into contact with it.

-Occasionally takes partners for a night, but doesn't appear to be seeking companionship. Has a portrait of a wife in his office, but it's old-fashioned, in black-and-white, and nobody has ever met the woman herself. Mei Lian once worked up the courage to ask her name. Zha Youjing. When Mei Lian looked at the photo of Youjing and called her gorgeous, Liu Ren looked as if he'd seen a ghost.

-ENTP 3w4 sp/so.

#that concludes the ask series for this one! i really enjoyed this so thank you so much!#the idea of drake having ocd came to me thus:#since intrusive thoughts feel like being possessed—are these even my thoughts and where are they coming from and why am i helpless—#then it'd make sense that drake (who gets all but possessed by something buried in his soul) would know that sensation #i don't have ocd but i do have strong oc traits and it's sometimes nice to see yourself reflected in a character #i don't know what's going on with Liu Ren but i love him. so much. he's so weird and he's probably about 150 AT LEAST.#i suspect he and zha youjing had children. liu ren (being immortal) has outlived those children and it breaks him over and over #fossil fighters frontier #fossil fighters #ff liu ren #liu ren #ff drake #drake #カセキホリダー #僕らはカセキホリダー #ff

Conversation

Dina: Jumping out of helicopters is dangerous. You know, they say one in five people don't even make it to the ground.

Todd: What do you mean they don't make it to the ground? Where do they go?
