Template:The Earth Land Chronicles/April 2013

 ''Welcome to another issue of The Earth Land Chronicles. This article will a relatively sarcastic overview of things in the Fairy Tail series, which will probably be presented in chronological order. This could include main villains, Dragon Slayers, Celestial Spirits, all in the order they were revealed. Our first series will be the story arcs of Fairy Tail, with an arc being done each month. So let's continue with the Edolas arc.'' 

Welcome back, readers! This month, we go through the Edolas arc. So as we know, we begin this arc with a little party over Wendy joining the guild with her bitch cat. The anime decided to insert some filler crap here, sadly. Since I'm apparently writing too much, I'll cut back on the text to give you guys what you want: dry humor!

Fairy Tail Wiki: We don't want that!

Ultra: Well suck it up, cause you're getting it anyways ;D

So we basically begin with Lucy talking to Wendy about Fairy Hills, which we all saw in the extremely fanservice-laden OVA (and the manga omake, but the OVA shows more skin XD). While doing this, they're alerted to the incoming arrival of Fairy Tail's strongest Mage, Gildarts Clive, who went on a 100 year mission. This is a man for whom the whole earth moves, literally as Magnolia Town undergoes a little dominoes game to clear a path for his arrival since he destroys everything and is too stupid to avoid houses. Owing to this stupidity, Gildarts arrives at Fairy Tail but doesn't recognize it, owing in part to the assholes of Phantom Lord who destroyed the guild and forced it to be rebuilt. Gildarts is recognized though and liked by everyone. Sadly, he failed his 100 mission, which surprises everyone. Unfortunately this interesting tidbit of plot is never brought up again. Thanks a lot, Mashima >_>

After tossing him into the ceiling, to the pleasure of his haters, Gildarts invites Natsu to his house, where he later teases him and ships him with Lisanna. Sadly, Gildarts isn't up to date with current events like, y'know, her death. Oh, there's also the mention of a Black Dragon. This'll be important later on.

So skip forward a bit, Wendy finds out that the one who she met as a child wasn't Jellal but his lookalike Mystogan. As she's told that Fairy Tail will be destoryed, she turns to save the guild only to find out that it's gone. C'ept for Natsu, who got buried under rubble. Cue an explanation from Carla the bitch about Edolas, which is losing Magic and is where everything went, and we're off to a new world.

After getting into a warehouse and putting on some new clothes, the gang discovers what appears to be their guild. But something's wrong cause Elfman's a pussy, Cana refuses to drink, Lucy's gone goth and Juvia's showing more skin than Gray, who's dressed like he's going to Canada. Welcome to Edolas Fairy Tail, the polar express opposite. There's also a Lisanna here, who Natsu and Happy go nuts over. Suddenly, we get Erza's slutty Edolas counterpart, Knightwalker, shows up to eliminate the guild. To get out, we have Edolas Lucy and Edolas Levy argue (polar opposites, eh?) before teleporting the entire building away.

Once the situation is explained, the group leaves decides to leave to rescue their nakama. Joined by Lucy Ashley, Lucy's counterpart, the Mages buy a few items from a black market shop cause the asinine kingdom decided to ban Magic for everyone to keep it for themselves.

While hiding, the gang discovers their own friend Lucy, who can use Magic in the world when they can't and decides to call herself Fairy Tail's strongest (at the moment) Mage. Troll your friends, much? Turns out, she was sent by Mystogan, who is looking for other Fairy Tail Mages.

And what would Fairy Tail be without some fanservice? When the gang enters a hotel, we get a nice scene of Edolas Lucy finding out her body is the exact same as Lucy Heartfilia and offering to show Natsu their more...intimate parts. Naturally, Earth Land Lucy doesn't want this to happen since she won't show Natsu her body till their married (or at least till they've both had enough to drink). One haircut and a night later, Edolas Lucy runs off, leaving a note to explain her cowardice and pissing off Lucy. Well, whatever. She wasn't that great other than for fanservice.

So to get to the royal city, the gang has to fight the knights, where Virgo appears in place of Loke who, despite liking Lucy, is on a date. With whom? Well, we never know. Anyways the gang is saved by Natsu's edolas counterpart, who's a boss on vehicles and a pussy off them.

Alright so the next stuff is boring. Be warned.

Arrive at the city. Boring.

The King's speech. Boring.

Come up with a plan. Boring.

Captured by slutty Captain Erza. Boring.

So now here is where we find out that Happy and Carla are Exceeds who are revered as gods to people in Edolas. Apparently, they were sent to kill the Dragon Slayers by their God/Queen for whatever reason cause we all know someone who can kill a Dragon will die if they fight a cat which is only able to use Aera. Cue the nakama "We are Fairy Tail" stuff and Happy and Carla fly away.

Oh, yeah, they met Nichiya, who happens to be Ichiya's Edolas counterpart. Clearly, Mashima didn't want to draw another ugly man at this point and decided to draw an ugly cat.

So the two cats, now "Fallens", wind up hiding and staying with an married couple, where they regain their faith and their ability to fly, which they haven't had lately. This elderly couple is soon revealed to be Happy's parents.

Interesting note: In the Animax Asia English dub, Happy's father has the same voice actor as Gajeel.

Meanwhile in her cell, Lucy is taken out by Knightwalker. Deciding to spout her nakama talk to convince her she can be like the Erza of Earth Land, Lucy talks to her but only succeeds in pissing her off and making her want to drop her off the edge of the castle. It's then that Carla and Happy show up and Carla claims to be the princess, without knowing she actually is. The plan works but Pantherlily shows up to screw it all up for them. At the same time, members of the Royal Guard of Extalia and turned into a huge gummy cat.

Meanwhile, Natsu and Wendy are being held captive by a small man and having their bodily fluids Magic extracted by means of his machine. For some reason, he starts on Natsu. Guess he wants to save Wendy for last ( ._.) Anyways, so while the gang goes to save 'em, they're ambushed but luckily, their Erza and Gray (half naked, as always) show up to save their asses. Having been saved by Gajeel, who was sent by Mystogan, the two help out and help free Natsu and Wendy. Of course, Erza stayed to fight Knighwalker, scaring the crap out of Natsu at the thought of 2 Erzas.

So when Happy takes Gajeel to the big Lacrima so he can free everyone with Dragon Slayer Magic, Pantherlily shows up and Gajeel decides to make him his cat, having previously spent every night of his recent life crying over not having one while Natsu and Wendy did. At the same time, Natsu, Gray and Lucy wind up in an amusement park controlled by Hughes and they have to fight him and Sugarboy. Now let's take some time to appreciate Lucy's female form.

Alright, perverts time to get back to reading.

Omega: Damn >_<

Hungry: *zips up pants* Oh, we done already?

So back to the story, Lucy's sex appeal fails-

Reli: Gay!

Yeah, no duh. Anyways, so cue the short man coming around, Lucy thinking he wants her key (even though he wouldn't be able to use them) and fighting him when he turns into a giant octopus sy with her new whip given to her by her Celestial Spirit. Meanwhile, Gray strips and fights the gay Elvis and after destroying the key that could save their friends, remakes it cause his memory is just that good.

When the two are seemingly captured by Knightwalker, and the Magic sucked out might be used to destroy the Exceed homeland, it all turns out to be Erza's ruse. We all know that girl would never lose XD. So Lucy and Coco, an adviser girl who decided to betray the kingdom, show up on a Legion and help everyone get out of the place to save Extalia, which actually is in danger.

So Wendy and Carla try warning the Exceed but they're too stubborn to listen and think their queen will save them. As they stone the poor girl and her cat, the queen arrives. She's got the power of foresight 'cept she has a missing wing and is actually weak and mislead the people. Cue crying. Cue speech on how they can win! We're off! The whole gang tries to stop the lacrima from crushing Extalia and to prevent it from doing so, the Prince of Edolas, Mystogan arrives and sends it back to Earth Land. Yay! I don't care what they say, you own Jellal any day of the week ;)

Crap, I should be careful in case Carrot is nearby ( ._.)

Just as it seems alright, Pantherlily, who once saved Mystogan as a kid and got cast out for it, get shot down by Erza Knightwalker and King Faust arrives in a mech which is nowhere near as cool as Gurren Lagann mech. Mystogan lets himself get beaten so he can find Pantherlily while the 3 Dragon Slayers fight Faust. The battle is arduous but in the end, later on, Fairy Tail prevails as always

At the same time, Lucy, Gray, Carla and Happy try fighting the army but are soon overpowered until the Edolas Fairy Tail Guild comes to their rescue. Much to Loke's great happiness. Meanwhile, Erza fights Knightwalker in what is undoubtedly an epic battle. The stuff about "self" here isn't too preachy and the scale is quite nice even though we won't see it again in the sky. In the Anima chambers, Mystogan and Pantherlily arrive so Mystogan can formulate his plan.

He is ridding Edolas of its Magic and wants to make himself a villain and let Pantherlily to kill him so he can unite the humans and the Exceed by being a hero. Pantherlily doesn't like it and wants the opposite. As they argue, Nadi shows up and shows that Natsu and his gang are getting nuts outside. Wendy's even trying to scare kids, though it doesn't work since she's so cute, thankfully Gajeel is there to help her out. Natsu is now "The Great Demon Lord" who is sucking out the Magic. Mystogan and Natsu then delve into a physical brawl when the former realizes what's going on and in the end, Mystogan is victorious and I'd have been pissed as hell if he lost to Natsu at anything

With that, Edolas has no Magic and all the Earth Land people are returning home. Everyone's sad but it's ultimately a nice hard ending to this arc.

Little extra bits after the return to Earth Land is that the Exceed never send Carla and Happy to kill Dragon Slayers but rather, to save them from humans. Oh, and they came to Earth Land too since Anima threw out all Magic. And something else came back too: a chibi Pantherlily and he brought along an old friend. Turns out she didn't die. She was just sent to Edolas but couldn't come back after bonding there till Anima said otherwise. Yeah, nice job at the BS Mashima >_>

So after a reunion between the take-over siblings, we've come to the end of the Edolas arc.

In the end, people have called this Fairy Tail's Skypiea arc. We can see the similarities since both are really long and involve going elsewhere and fighting against some gods (at least somewhat). So ultimately, we close out this arc with a happy reunion. Was it does as best as it could be? Nope. But is it Fairy Tails' worst arc? Not really. Just never lived up to where it could've gone. Sadly, that's been said about Fairy Tail a lot.

Next time we look at one of Fairy Tail's most loved and hated arcs. Look forward to it!
