Yo there living beings that have an amount of fatness so high that makes you wonder if your sweat is actually oil!! Ready for another Edition of Real Tail?!

absolute silence

That's the spirit!! Fuoh!!

Let's just recall what I've told you there: About the one-shot called Magician and about Mashima's Autobiography. If you haven't read those yet, don't lose a single second and go back on the SM Editions to read them!

But let's get started on today's analysis: The oneshot called Fairy Tale.


 * So... I guess you're all grown-up enough to make relations between this oneshot's name and Fairy Taill, as long you can read.


 * It starts off showing us the universe, where many people (P.S.: by people I mean breathing beings, not humans. There is even an early version of Tauros. What again shows reuse of designs by Mashima) exist in a same kingdom, each one of them having a King. The main Kings are then reunited (in a place that strongly resembles a Guild) because someone stole the "Book of Devilma", that can be used to summon demons. Yes, if Zeref was a girl, his name would be Devilma...
 * We are then presented to the spike-haired main character: Silver, basically a prototype of Natsu. Reasons: he has horns, (early designs of Natsu included him with horns) he belongs to the Fire People, and his dad (the King) is called Salamander. You must be thinking "at least he doesn't have a cat". No, but he has a living safety match. I know, a dog would be better.


 * There is also the Water People, whose queen is called Undine. Her design is the same as Aquarius, the difference being the lack of a fish covering her legs. Her daughter is called El. Curiously, she's more alike Erza than Juvia. First, because of her name, and second because she doesn't give a damn about people seeing her naked. In this kind of moment I wonder why I never find girls like this.


 * Attempting to make a joke, Mashima characterizes the Fire People as Hot-Headed and the Water People as Cold-Hearted. Both of them have powers that correspond to their elements (no, are you serious Mashima? For a moment I thought that Silver's powers were the ability of cause earthquakes), but on the other hand, if they touch each other, they get disintegrated because of the Neutralization. For some reason, I found this cool.


 * Anyways, the duo decides to get back the Book of Devilma to prove their value. The Book, however, was stolen by Ooba Babasama's ancestor, a hag called Barbara. She's a medusa that possesses a living Golem as her bodyguard and as a sex toy, I guess . She basically wants to summon a demon from the Book. A rampaging, deadly one like Lullaby or Deliora? Nope. A demon that will make her young again, called Youthyu. Cry, plastic surgeons, cry.


 * Eventually, Silver and El get captured, and are put hanging from their hands above a lava pit. I don't know where do they sell lava pits like that, but I so want one. Devilma also threaten Silvers saying that if he looks into her eyes, he'll turn into stone. I personally would be dead just by making eye contact with that abomination.


 * Devilma starts swinging the duo to scare them with the possibility of Neutralization. But Silver is smarter, (at least smarter than the hag, or than Rauleli for an example) he melts his chains and falls in the lava pit, that's nothing but a mere lake for him. He defeats Devilma, (with a 2-paged punch in the old hag's face while holding her arm :3 cruelty FTW), but El starts to fall from her chains.


 * In the last moment, the duo acknowledges each other, and Silver grabs El's hands to save her. Unexpectedly, the Neutralization doesn't happen (I almost wet myself prior this moment) because of one single reason: because they respect each other. Well, better than "because of love/nakama's power. The Kings then suddenly appear, show that they also respect each other, but start discussing again and blah blah blah. The End.

Some Chapter notes:


 * It's Mashima's favorite story (probably in terms of oneshots)


 * It's was originally planned to be the series that would succeed Rave Master.


 * The original oneshot's plot was rejected in the eve of the deadline Mashima had to deliver it.
