Chapter Text
Impacts could be heard through a wide area, like punches so powerful that they create shockwaves, but where were these punches coming from? From underground. In a place that could be called a secret chamber of some sort. There a battle was happening between a black-haired boy with a line in his face and a man with blonde hair and two lines on his face
"Interesting… No one has ever been capable of getting past my epidermis before." the blonde man said while putting a hand in his face "I don't know the reason why the boss changed his mind about you but it doesn't matter."
The black-haired boy looked at the blonde confused, meanwhile, more people managed to get in the room in the middle of the confusion, a blue-haired boy, a red-haired boy and a black-haired boy with a single yellow stripe, they seemed to be running behind Mash who was guarding a yellow-haired girl that was unconscious
"And it looks like it's time, goodbye Mash Burnedead!" the blonde said and then a dark energy blast passed through the side of his head and hit Mash directly, causing an explosion that covered him and the people that just entered, along with the girl behind him
When the explosion disappeared the boy and everyone else that was with him weren't there anymore, leaving only the blonde man there, but he was hearing steps getting closer, someone was approaching, and so with a slow head turn to who got there he gave them a smile filled with malice
"Looks like you are late."

Mash opened his eyes, confused with what just happened, he was fighting a blonde guy in black clothes just now and then… he was in a grassy field? Looking around he saw his friends on the ground, Lance, Dot, Finn and Lemon, at least they didn't look hurt which was good but he still had to go wake them up...
"Ow… That hurt..." the boy with black hair and yellow stripe said while getting up
Or they would wake up on their own, that made everything a lot easier
"Finn." Mash said approaching him
"Mash! What happened!? Where are we!? We were teleported!" Finn was starting to panic after noticing the situation he was in
"Can you not be so loud!?" The boy with red hair said also getting up
"Dott! You are okay!" Finn said relieved
"Looks like we are all fine, how weird." the boy with blue hair also got up while looking at his own hand
"And Lance too! What a relief. Now the only one left to wake up is Lemon." Finn said while turning to the blonde girl… that wasn't moving a muscle
They kept waiting Lemon wake up but she wasn't, no matter how much they waited, Mash then approached her and turned her so she would be facing up so he could analyze her, she didn't look hurt but she was really unconscious...
Or at least he thought
"I was actually the first one to wake up, now he will probably think that I was cursed and will with a true love's kiss on my cheek! I am his future wife so of course he would do that for me! After that we will walk together, and hold hands, and-" her line of thought was cut when she started to be shaken up and down my Mash in an attempt to wake her up, that in turned caused her to scream in surprise
"Oh, you're awake," Mash said putting her back on the ground
"Eeeh..." Lemon had gotten dizzy and was now struggling to stand up
"Let's analyze the situation." Lance said taking the decision to completely ignore what just happened "We are at an unknown place, we don't even know if we are in the same continent as before, so our first priority should be for us to find the closest civilization and ask the locals for information."
"Good idea Lance!" Finn said, Lance was being very cooperative this time, it was good to see that he actually to a liking to them-
"And then when we're back I'll be able to see my little sister again." Lance said, opening his wizard robe and tanking out one of his more than five hundred bottoms with his sister face on it, which he looked at with a sad expression
"Now it makes more sense..." both Finn and Dot thought, with Dot adding ab "this siscon..." at the end
"Found a city." Mash said pointing to his front and making the other look at that same direction
He had really found a city, and it was a big one, and it wasn't that far away, Lance didn't even say a thing and just started to walk towards the city which prompted the others to follow him
It didn't take long for them to get there, only a forty minute walk, that ended up tiring Lemon and Finn, that had to be carried by Mash, after entering that massive city they saw a sign saying "Welcome to Magnolia!", now they knew the cities name
"I think the best option would be for us to split up for the time being and go get information about where we are. If anyone asks, we are tourists." Lance explained and started to walk on the road to the left, entering the city on his own
"Hey Lance! Should we really split up!? We don't even know who might appear here!" Finn got down from Mash's back and yelled trying to get Lance's attention, which failed
"Well, no problem form me, I'm the protagonist after all! Out of my way extras! Protagonist coming through!" Dot yelled while running to the right
"Dammit! It's better for me to follow him just to make sure nothing bad happens. Dot, wait!" Finn ran after his red-haired friend, now entering the city along with him
"Well, Mash, looks like the two of us will have to go search the city by ourselves." Lemons said getting down from his back and now standing right beside him
"Oh yeah. Let's go then, Lemon." Mash starting to walk through the way in front of him, entering the city along with Mash
"This is almost like a date! Mash, when we get married you will take me in a lot of dates, right?" Lemon asked, looking at Mash with expecting eyes
"Hm? Sure. Sounds fun." Mash not seeming to care for the idea, which just left Lemon more excited
The two walked through the city trying to talk with as many people as they saw, but they all said they were too busy to talk with them, and that was starting to frustrate Lemon
"God dammit! We aren't getting any information!" Lemon said angrily
"How about we ask this girl?" Mash said pointing forward
"What girl?" Lemon asked until she ended up bumping into said girl, now going back a couple os steps
"Hm? Hey girl, are you alright?" the woman which Lemon bumped into turned around and asked her
"Yes, I am. Sorry for bumping into you, ma'am." Lemon said putting her hand on her forehead
"No need to call me ma'am, I'm not that old." the woman said putting her hand behind her head
"Oh yeah! You must be in your twenties, I imagine." Lemon said giving her a gentle smile
"Actually I'm seventeen." the woman seemed uncomfortable giving that information to Lemon
Lemon on the other hand, after hearing that, started staring the woman up and down… for some reason she now felt empty inside
"Ah… I'm fifteen..." Lemon didn't understand why she felt disappointed with herself
"Who are you after all?" the woman asked them, trying to change the subject fast
"My name is Mash Burnedead." Mash lifted up a hand, waving at her in a way to say hello to her
"Lemon Irvine..." Lemon said still dead inside
"...what's your name?" Mash looked at Lemon for a moment but returned his focus back to the woman
"Well, my name is Lucy Heartfilia, it's a pleasure to meet you two."
