Lucy: Previously in... Hey! Is this Fairy Tail or W.I.T.C.H.?

Hay Lin: Good question. Hey, Mira! Is this Fairy Tail or W.I.T.C.H.?

Mira: It's both, silly.

Happy: So what do we call this then?

Lucy: I know! Previously in "When Guardians Meet Fairies", after Will helped Angelo gain control of himself while going all crazy as a dragon, things seemed alright. That is until Elyon had her forces along with the Guardians and Regents try and arrest Angelo!

Happy: But she forgot that Fairy Tail was there and wasn't going to let that happen!

Hay Lin: Thankfully Halinor showed up with the Lightning Tribe who had two members from two dark guilds who confessed to everything including who hired them. Turns out it was Phobos and he along with Cedric, Miranda, and a free Nerissa escaped to Earth-land along with some captured Guardians and Regents!

Lucy: Now Foiry Tail and the Honor Guard have teamed up to rescue them and put a stop to Phobos and whatever he has planned!

Natsu: Hey, Angelo! Think you can go all dragon again?

Angelo: Why would you want me to do that!? Wait! You want to fight me like that don't you?

Gajeel: You got that right! It's not everyday you get to fight a dragon. Even if it's metal.

Natsu: So dragon up so we can fight!

Angelo: Oh brother! I'm out of here!

Que which ever Fairy Tail opening you like. I personally like Opening 2, 5, & 6.

Happy: Chapter Nineteen: Preparing for Battle

Once back in the Fairy Tail Guild, everyone began to get ready for a long battle against Phobos, Nerissa, Cedric, Miranda, and their dark guild allies. Angelo and Will explained what had happened on Metamoor when Angelo went all giant dragon on Elyon's palace.

"So it finally happened, huh?", Joe questioned. "Honestly, I figured you'd be older when it would happen."

"So any of us can do this?", Leonas asked.

"Any of you descendant from me.", Kadma said. "It's hard to control at first, but with the right amount of training, you can have control of it. But for now, let's not try that again.", she said to Angelo.

"Don't have to tell me twice.", Angelo said. "That was taxing on me."

"So when do we go and kick this Phobos guy's butt?", Natsu questioned as he pound his right fist into hs left palm.

"We have to find him first.", Gray said before turning to Raythor. "You seem to know how this guy thinks. Where do you think he went off to?"

"Well, Nerissa said something about the mountains of your kingdom.", Raythor said. "So Phobos will want a spot where they have the advantage."

"And there's only one point for that.", Makarov said as he pointed to a spot on the map of the kingdom. "That mountain not only has a high point but it has a valley where any and all of their forces can camp out."

"And with those two dark guilds under his command, that's where he'll be.", Erza said.

"Alzack. Bisca. I want you to go scout the area and report back here as fast as you can.", Makarov ordered.

"Yes, Master Makarov!", the two said as she headed out to do as they were ordered.

"Lisanna, Nab, and Bickslow. I need you to go and see if we can get any help from any of the other guilds.", Makarov ordered.

"Yes, sir!", they said as they headed out.

"Everyone else, get ready for battle and get some rest.", Makarov said. "We're going to need it."

Once outside the guild, Nab used his powers to make himself fast enough to run off to the nearest guild while Bickslow sent his dolls out to another guild and Lisanna transformed into a bird and flew off to another guild while Alzack and Bisca rode off to scout the mountains. As for everyone else, they were either gearing up for battle, talking with each other, or getting some rest.

"So how was it fighting alongside Celestial Spirits, Taranee?", Halinor asked.

"It was... interesting.", Taranee said remembering Gemini. "I wouldn't mind finding some keys of my own.

"There are plenty of shops that may have some for you to buy.", Lucy said. "The silver ones are easy to find. It's the gold ones that are rare."

"There are other types of keys.", Halinor said as she took three bronzes out from her pockets.

"Bronze keys!?", Lucy questioned in surprise.

"Yes.", Halinor said. "These keys are based off another kind of Zodiac."

"What kind?", Taranee asked interested in the keys.

"The Chinese Zodiac.", Halinor said.

"Chinese Zodiac?", Lucy questioned. "But China is on Earth."

"Yes. But the Celestial Spirits can go to any world.", Halinor said. "These are three of twelve keys based off of that Zodiac set.", she said as she handed them to Taranee.

"You want me to have them?", Taranee questioned as she held the keys.

"I believe they'll be better off in your hands.", Halinor said with a kind smile.

"Thank you, Halinor.", Taranee said before Lucy patted her on the back.

"Looks like Fairy Tail has another Celestial Wizard!", Lucy said happy to have another Celestial Wizard around.

"Thanks.", Taranee said. "So which spirits are these?", she asked Halinor.

"See for yourself.", Halinor said.

"Okay.", Taranee said as she looked at the base of the keys to see which symbols were on them.

On one key there was the shillote of a dog's head, while another one had one of a rat's body, and the third one had one of a monkey's body.

"Let's try this one.", Taranee said as she held up the dog key. "Open! Gate of the Zodiac! Dog!"

Suddenly, a German Shepard appeared in front of Taranee. And this was no normal looking dog. For one, he was face to face with Taranee and was dressed in some kind of armor made for dogs along with a white headband.

"Hello, Fang.", Halinor said to the dog.

"Hello, Halinor.", Fang said. "I didn't expect you to summon me. You normally reach me through meditation."

"Very true.", Halinor said with a kind smile. "But it was not me who summoned you. It was this young lady here. Meet Taranee Cook. She's a former Guardian and now a member of Fairy Tail."

"And a Celestial Wizard, I take it.", Fang said.

"Yes.", Halinor said.

"I see.", Fang said as he looked Taranee up and down. "You have the strength and power. But do you have the heart to be a Celestial Wizard?"

"I think so.", Taranee said.

"We shall see.", Fang said. "Okay, Taranee Cook. I shall form a contract with you. But may I suggest that you do the same with Rat and Monkey."

"Okay.", Taranee said as she held up the Monkey key. "Open! Gate of the Zodiac! Monkey!"

Suddenly, a small monkey with a tail appeared on the floor looking up at Taranee.

"This is Monkey.", Fang said. "His is a mighty fighter who can transform into any monkey and ape there is."

"Whoa!", Taranee said. "Impressive.", she said making Monkey smile as he bowed to her. "Now for the rat.", she said as she held up the Rat key. "Open! Gate of the Zodiac! Rat!"

Suddenly, a normal size rat appeared next to Monkey. Only this rat stood on his hind legs and was dressed in a black vest with a white cowboy hat with a belt that had what looked like a crossbow strapped to it along with a dagger.

"This is Rat.", Fang said.

"Ummmmmmm... Hi.", Taranee said to Rat.

"Hiya, Toots!", Rat said with a Brookland accent with a salute.

"Toots!?", Taranee and Lucy questioned.

"Rat is one of a kind.", Halinor said with a grin. "His specialty is picking locks and getting into place you normally couldn't get into. His weapons of choice are a dagger and a crossbow that shoots energy arrows.

"How's it going, Hallie!?", Rat asked Halinor.

"I'm doing fine, Rat.", Halinor said with a kind smile.

"So what's going on here?", Rat asked.

"This one wishes to form a contract with us.", Fang explained gesturing towards Taranee.

"Really now?", Rat asked as he looked up at Taranee. "Sure. Why not? I'm game."

"Very well.", Fang said. "Let us begin."

"Okay, but what can you do?", Taranee asked.

"I'm a fighter, tracker, and protector.", Fang said. "I can also sniff out any lost Celestial Spirits Keys.", Fang said as he sniffed the air. "And I smell two bronze keys nearby."

"Really!?", Taranee asked.

"Yes. Now let's get our contract done so I can take you to them.", Fang said.

"Okay, but how do you form a contract?", Taranee asked.

"Let me help you with that.", Lucy said as she helped Taranee form a contract with her spirits.

Meanwhile Andrew was showing Hay Lin the place they got with Martin.

"Wow! this place is great!", Hay Lin said as she looked around the place. "Hey! What kind of weapons do you guys have again?"

"I'll show you again.", Andrew said as he opened the door to show Hay Lin the inside of the room.

"Cool!", Hay Lin said looking at all the weapons and armor. "So you guys use all of these weapons?"

"Well, all but one kind.", Andrew said. "We don't use the wands a lot."

"Why not?", Hay Lin asked.

"There really not our thing.", Andrew said.

"Well... Can I use them?", Hay Lin asked.

"Hmmmmm... Don't see why not.", Andrew said making Hay Lin smile. "But first, you need to learn how to Re-epuip."

"Okay.", Hay Lin said ready to learn how to re-epuip.

While Andrew was teaching Hay Lin how to Re-epuip, Will was learning the same skill from Susan, Tony, and Erza who offered to share some of her weapons and armor for the time being. So far, Will was able to learn how to Re-epuip some weapons. It was the armors that she had a problem with.

"This is a lot harder than it looks.", Will said as she sat down tired from trying to re-epuip some armor. "How do you guys do it?"

"Give it time.", Susan said to her youngest daughter. "You'll get the hand of it."

"At least you've got re-epuiping weapons down packed.", Tony said. "And for now, that's alright."

"We can always work on it later.", Erza said. "For now, I can re-epuip some armor onto you."

"Thanks.", Will said. "But I will master this skill.", she said when...

"No way! They're sisters!?", came a familiar voice. "Will and Erza are sisters!?"

"I know that voice.", Will said as she got up and followed the sound of the voice.

"As do I.", Erza said as she walked with Will followed by Tony and Susan.

The four Vandoms followed the sound of the voice to find Angelo, Leonas, and Sam talking with two other African-American teenage boys. They were none other than Malcom and Marcus Vanders. Angelo's other cousins who were twins. The both of them had brown eyes with black hair that was on short braids. Malcom was dressed in a pair of black jeans with a blue shirt and brown boots while Marcus was dressed in a pair of black jeans with a green shirt and brown boots. They both, like Angelo, Sam, and Leonas had a belt with metals and gems strapped on them. Also there were John Vander along with his wife, Jun Lin Vadners.

"I thought it was them.", Will said.

"I don't believe it.", Jun Lin said. "Will and Erza. Sisters!"

"And Will is in Fairy Tail now!", Malcom said.

"Believe it.", Angelo said. "It's all true. And get this. Aunt Susan and Uncle Tony were once aprt of Fairy Tail!"

"Say what!?", Marcus and Malcom questioned.

"You heard me.", Angelo said.

"Well, if you think about it, that explains why Erza has been living here.", Malcom replied.

"But why?", Marcus questioned.

"It's a long and sad story.", Angelo said. "One that you'll have to ask Aunt Susan and Uncle Tony when this whole rescue mission is all over and we stop this Phobos guy and his allies."

"Well I'm ready to go when ever the master is ready.", Marcus said.

"Well relax and wait.", John said to his nephew. "Rushing into things doesn't do you any good.", he said as he and Jun went to speak with their fellow guild members.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah.", Marcus said as he went to hang with some other members of Fairy Tail. "I'll see you guys later."

Leonas, Sam, and Malcom also left to talk to other members of the guild leaving Angelo alone at the moment. As he stood there alone, he looked down at his hands and began to think back to when he formed the metal dragon and nearly destroyed Elyon's palace.

"Will I lose it and go all dragon again and risk hurting the others?", he asked himself as he continued to look down at his hands. "I can't let that happen. I have to keep myself from losing it."

It was then a familiar pair of hands held his. Angelo looked to see Will looking up at him with a smile. Seeing this, Angelo smiled back at Will knowing that she had his back. They then shared a loving kiss that was interrupted by the sound of Tony clearing his throat.

"Dad!", Will said to her father.

"What?", Tony questioned in an innocent tone getting some giggles out of Susan and Erza.

"Forget it.", Will said with a tiring sigh. "Come on, Angelo. Let's find a place where we can get some privacy."

"Hold on a sec!", Tony said as he was about to follow his daughter and Angelo.

"Now, Tony. You and I were the same way at their age.", Susan said. "Let them be. They need this."

"Oh alright.", Tony said giving in.

"Good.", Susan said before turning to Erza. "Now, how about you show us your armory, Erza."

"Okay then.", Erza said feeling a bit excited to show her parents her gear. "Follow me.", she said as she lead them to her place.

Meanwhile, Fang had led Taranee to the other two bronze keys that he had sensed.

"Who of thought that they'd be buried in the forest.", Taranee said as they walked stood in the forest.

"And now that we've found them, you can form a contract with them.", Fang said.

"Right.", Taranee said as she got a good look at the two keys.

One had the shillote of a rabbit while the other one had one of a boar.

"Open! Gate of the Zodiac! Boar!", Taranee said as she held up the key of the Boar. "And open! Gate of the Zodiac! Rabbit!", she said as she held up the key of the Rabbit.

Suddenly, two beings appeared in front of Taranee and Fang. One was a brown, nine foot Humaniod type boar in armor that covered his chest with metal bracers on his arms. He was also dressed in black pants and brown leather boots with a war hammer strapped to it's back. Standing next to it was a woman with wine coloered eyes and long black hair dressed in black jean shorts, with a white t-shirt and a sleeveless red jacket with steel knuckle gauntlets and steel greaves on it's ankles. But what stood out the most about her was the set of bunny ears sticking out from the top of her head. Taranee coudln't help but look at both beings in amazement before she felt weak and began to fall only for the woman to catch her and sit her under a nearby tree.

"Who is this girl, Fang?", the woman asked.

"This is Taranee Cook, Hare.", Fang said to the woman. "And she is a Celestial Wizard."

"I see.", Hare said.

"Why is she so weak?", the boar asked.

"Well, she did summon five of us in a short time.", Fang said.

"I guess that's bad, huh?", Taranee questioned.

"In a way.", Fang said. "You did fight alongside other Celestial Spirits earlier. Am I correct?"

"Yes.", Taranee said.

"Then that explains it.", Hare said. "You over did yourself with all the summoning."

"Lucky for you, Fang is here.", the boar said. "He can restore your strength. By the way. I am Boar.", he said introducing himself.

"And I am Hare.", Hare said introducing herself. "And I'm guessing that you want to form a contact with us."

"Yes. If it's not to much trouble.", Taranee said. "I want to help my friends, but I know I'll need more than my fire power to help."

"Then my power is your to weild, Taranee Cook.", Boar said proudly.

"As well as mine.", Hare said.

"Thank you.", Taranee said as Fang used his power to restore Taranee's strength. "So what can you two do?"

"I have great strength that I can use to fight with my war hammer and bust through things.", Boar explained with a grin. "I can also fire energy beams from my eyes."

"I know many forms of unarmed combat.", Hare explained. "I can jump high and far and can be pretty agile. Plus, I'm fast. Really fast.", she finished.

"That should do it.", Fang said as he finished restoring Taranee's strength. "How do you feel?"

"Better.", Taranee said as she got to her feet. "Much better. Thanks."

"Just doing my job.", Fang said. "Now you must form your contract with Hare and Boar."

"Right.", Taranee said remembering what Lucy told her about forming contracts with Celestial Spirits. "Let's do this."

Back at the guild, Wendy was also getting ready for battle.

"Now remember to be careful while we're out there, Wendy.", Carla said. "Don't push yourself to far."

"Don't worry, Carla.", Wendy said. "I'll be careful.", se said when Kadma walked up to her. "Hi, Mrs. Kadma."

"Hello, Wendy. Carla.", Kadma said with a kind smile. "I take it that you'll be joining in the battle as well."

"Yes. My healing skills will come in handy.", the young Dragon Slayer said. "Romeo said that he'll watch over me. But... I wish our whole team was here.", she said with a sad smile just as Romeo came walking up to them.

"I wish they were here as well.", Romeo said.

"Then it's a good thing Joe and I had Angelo go pick up the rest of your team.", Kadma said as she stepped aside to show two African-American twins.

One was a boy and the other a girl who were Wendy's age. Both had brown eyes and black hair. The girl's hair went down to the small of her back, while the boy's hair was in dreads that went down to his shoulders. The boy was dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a green t-shirt with brown leather boots, and a belt holding metal bars and some gems, like his older cousins while the girl was dressed in a red shirt with blue jeans and white leather boots. In her right hand was a wand with some small different colored gems on it.

"Hey, guys!", the twin children said smiling.

"Kerry! Terry!", Wendy and Romeo said happy to see their friends.

"Did you really think that we'd go and leave our three team mates hanging at a time like this?", Kerry said as she looked at Wendy, Carla, and Romeo.

"Fat chance of the happening.", Terry said while pounding his fist together. "The five of us are a team!"

"Yeah!", Romeo said as he and Terry pounded fist.

Then the five of them high-fived each other ready to join in the fight. Seeing this, Kadma smiled as she left them to get ready for the coming battle. A few hours later, Bisca and Alzack had returned from their scouting mission and were reporting to Makarov what they found.

"They're in the mountains alright.", Alzack said. "And their palace is huge."

"And they have a bunch of dark guilds camped out in the valley.", Bisca said.

"It looks like Phobos has found more dark guilds to join him.", Vathek replied.

"Which is why we have some guilds of our own on our side ready to fight.", Makarov said.

"So let's get this show on the road!", Natsu said.

"It's not that simple, Salamander.", Gajeel said.

"Gajeel's right.", Taranee said. "Even with all those dark guilds at their disposal, Phobos, Cedric, Miranda, and Nerissa won't be pushovers."

"So what can they do?", Levy asked.

"Well Cedric and Miranda are Shape-shifters.", Aldern said. "And powerful ones at that."

"As for Nerissa, last we checked she had the powers of all five Guardians.", Halinor explained. "And by her youthful look, she still has those powers."

"As for Phobos, I'm not sure about him.", Raythor said. "He seems more powerful than before."

"And with his ability to drain power from others, who knows how powerful he is now.", Will said.

"He may have a Lacrima in him.", Laxus replied.

"You nay be right.", Makarov said with a nod.

"What's a Lacrima?", Hay Lin asked.

"It's something that can be used to store a lot of power to be used in many ways.", Erza explained.

"That sounds like something Phobos would use alright.", Taranee said. "And with some captured Guardians and Regents, he has plenty of power at feed on."

"Sounds like we'll have a major fight on our hands.", Angelo said.

"Maybe we should have a team sneak inside the palace while the rest of us fight the dark guilds.", Freed suggested.

"I agree with that plan.", Erza said.

"Same here.", Makarov said. "Question is, who do we send?", he said while rubbing his chin.

"Let me go!", Natsu said. "I'll pound them good!"

"Use your head, boy.", Tony said. "Fighting this Phobos guy isn't the main mission."

"What are you talking about?", Natsu questioned.

"He means that we need to rescue the Guardians and Regents first.", Gray said getting a nod from Tony.

"As long as he has them, Phobos has a basically unlimited power source to feed off of.", Makarov replied. "So getting them away from his is our first priority."

"But with Nerissa's powers, they'll know that you're there when you get inside.", Yan Lin said. "So which ever of you go in, be on your guard."

"I request that Drake and Aldern be apart of the team that infiltrate the palace.", Raythor said. "They, like most of the Honor Guard have had experience battling our enemies."

"Fair enough.", Makarov said with a nod. "Erza. Angelo. I'll be sending both of your teams in as well."

"We shall not fail you, Master Makarov.", Erza said as she Angelo bowed.

"To think it's us who get to rescue them.", Martin said. "Kind of ironic don't you think?"

"Oh yeah.", Andrew said before turning to Hay Lin, Taranee, and Will. "Don't you think, girls?"

"Huh?", Hay Lin questioned. "Why are you asking us?"

"Because you're coming, too.", Andrew said.

"Wait. What?", Taranee questioned.

"Didn't you tell them?", Angelo asked Will.

"Oh yeah!", Will said. "The guys want us to join their team.", she said to Taranee and Hay Lin.

"Oh!", the two girls said.

"Hold on now.", Erza said. "How do know if I didn't want Will to join our team?", she questioned calmly.

"Well, I thought about it, and decided to join Angelo's team.", Will said. "The girls and I work well together and I couldn't think of working without them."

"I see.", Erza said understanding the bound her sister had with her friends.

"So you're okay with all of this?", Will asked her older sister.

"Of course.", Erza said with a smile. "But I would like for us to go on some missions together in the future."

"Sure thing!", Will said returning the smile. "We can even have mom and dad come along and make it a family outing or something."

"I'd like that.", Susan said.

"Same here.", Tony said. "But first things first. We have a tyrant to stop."

"Then let's go and show them what Fairy Tail is all about!", Makarov shouted ready to go.

"Yeah!", every one of Fairy Tail shouted as they raised their fist in the air.

"Lively bunch, huh?", Tynar questioned.

"Indeed.", Raythor said. "They have a fighting spirit."

"It's time to move out!", Makarov said. "Let's go!", he said as they headed out of the guild and towards the mountains leaving Kadma, Joe, Yan Lin, Halinor, and William.

"Be goos Sweetie.", Susan said to her son, William as she kissed him on the forehead. "We'll be back soon."

William, who was being held by Halinor, gave his family a wave as they headed out with the others.

"It's times like this that I wish I was young enough to help.", Joe said.

"We all do, Dear.", Kadma said as they all took a seat. "But you can't stay young forever."

"Tell Nerissa that.", Yan Lin joked getting a laugh out of the others.

"Even time will catch up with her.", Hailnor said. "The only time will tell when that happens."

"Something tells me it'll be sooner than later.", Joe said.

"I only hope our friends and family come back safe and sound.", Yan Lin said saying a silent prayer for them all.

"We all do, Yannie.", Joe said. "We all do."

A/N: Looks like everyone is ready to fight. And they may have a big one on their hands with all he dark guilds joining up with Phobos and his allies. Can our heroes pull off a rescue and defeat the newest threat to Earth-land? Find out in future chapters.
