[Mini Story : My Chocolate Eclair]
Shadow's POV
Two weeks after the events at GUN, I had taken a well-deserved week off. Today, I was training Yukino in martial arts. Apparently, things had gone well on her side when the spirits were corrupted. We were behind the guild building, and we had been training for 20 minutes when I suddenly heard the notification of a message on my lacrima phone.
Yukino: Want to take a break?
Me: No need, keep attacking.
I picked up my phone and repositioned myself in front of her. I signaled her to attack while checking my phone, dodging Yukino's strikes. I blocked her right leg just as I saw the sender of the message. I sighed for a moment before replying to Chelia's message.
Shadow's phone POV
Love Slayer : Hey Shadow ^_^
Me: What do you want? =_=
Love Slayer : You could at least say hello back.😐
Me: Hello. What do you want? I'm busy!😑
Love Slayer: Oh really? What are you doing?
Me: I'm training with Yukino.
Love Slayer: Yukino!?
Me: Is there a problem?
Love Slayer: No, but I was wondering when our next date is.
Me: Next date?
Love Slayer: Yeah, you promised that in two weeks you'd take me out to dinner, and it's been two weeks.
Me: I don't remember saying that.
Love Slayer: But you did... after what happened in bed.
The shock paralyzed me for a second, allowing Yukino to land a spinning kick to the back of my neck, making me fall.
Yukino (worried): Are you okay??
Me: Uh, yeah, it's nothing. Keep going!
I resumed my conversation on the phone while still dodging attacks.
Me: Are you serious right now??
Love Slayer: More than serious, my chocolate éclair! 😘
Me: What kind of stupid nickname is that? 🙄
Love Slayer: It's what I saved you as in my phone. What name did you save me under?
Me: That's not important...
Love Slayer: Come on, tell me!
Me: No.
She sent me a photo- a selfie of her next to me sleeping, taken the day she STOLE my innocence.
Love Slayer: If you don't come over right now, I'm sending the picture to Yukino!
Me: I'm on my way ಠ_ಠ.
Love Slayer: I'll be waiting! 🥰
Shadow's POV
I put my phone back in my pocket and caught Yukino's right fist as she charged at me.
Me: We'll stop here for today.
Yukino (exhausted): Phew, I'm really tired. By the way, who were you talking to earlier?
Me: Oh, um, it's not important.
Yukino (smirking): Looks like the mission with Chelia went well!
Me: ... It's not what you think...
Yukino: So, you two are dating?
Me: Sort of.
Yukino (chuckling): I'm so proud of you, Shadow! But take things slow, okay?
Me (collapsing to the ground): It's too late... I lost it!
Yukino: Lost what?
Me: My innocence!
Yukino blushed.
Yukino: You... you mean... you two...
Me: I became a man by accident.
Yukino: Looks like my advice went too far.
Me: What?
Yukino: Well, before you left for your mission, I told her to make you happy in every possible way...
I conjured ropes made of my Chaos energy and tied Yukino up before she could react. She was now on her knees in front of me as I gave her one of my most terrifying glares.
Yukino (trembling): Uh, Shadow? What are you doing?
Me (smiling): Since you helped make this happen, I have a gift for you.
Yukino: A gift?
I gagged her and grabbed her two "melons" with such force that she screamed in pleasure.
Me (vengeful look): I'll make you happy in every possible way!
I was so fast that I could tickle and squeeze her chest as if I wanted to crush it. This punishment lasted for an hour before I left for my date with Chelia.
[End of the Mini Story]
Wendy's POV
After the events of the "Eclipse of the Spirits" arc, Fairy Tail resumed its daily routine-Natsu and Gray arguing, Happy trying to charm Carla, Erza eating her strawberry cake, and Sonic was probably sleeping somewhere in town, as Chao-Sonic was also asleep on my head. I was sitting at a table when Mirajane approached me with a paper.
Mira: Hey Wendy!
Me: Oh, hi Mirajane! How are you?
Mira: I'm good. Say, have you seen Mr. Marvell?
Me: Mr. Marvell? (I suddenly understood and blushed.) Oh, uh, he must be sleeping somewhere.
Mira: Well, there's an S-rank mission recommended for him. Could you give it to him if you see him?
Me (taking the paper): An S-rank mission?
Mira: Yes, Erza or Laxus could have taken it, but the client specifically requested Sonic.
Chip: Oh, maybe it's a mission on Mobius!
Mira & Me (surprised): Chip?
Chip: Yeah, that's my name.
Me: Where's Sonic?
Chip: I don't know. After leaving Fairy Hills, I bought an ice cream, and when I turned around, he was gone. I thought he ran to see you, but apparently not.
Carla: Where did he run off to now?
Me: I have an idea!
I shook Chao-Sonic to wake him up. When he opened his eyes, he looked at me with such innocence-it reminded me of Sonic waking up.
Me: Chao-Sonic, can you lead us to Sonic?
Chao-Sonic: Chao!
He floated off with his tiny wings, leaving the guild. I followed him with Chip and Carla. After hours of walking, we reached a hill outside the city. I spotted Sonic standing in front of a giant broken robot-he seemed to be talking to it.
Sonic: I told you not to challenge me, but we both knew how this would end.
Me (laughing): Uh... are you talking to a broken robot that can't hear you?
Sonic noticed us and turned around as if he'd been caught red-handed.
Sonic: Oh, you're here! Uh, we weren't talking! It was just a thing between me and him. The important thing is that I stopped it from destroying Magnolia.
Chip: Absolutely!
Sonic: So, you guys are gonna forget that I was talking to a broken robot, right?
Me: No.
Sonic (disappointed): I knew you'd say that.
Carla: We've seen you save the day plenty of times, but we've never seen you talk to a broken robot.
Sonic: Oof.
Me: Anyway, we have a mission for you!
Sonic: A Mission?
I showed him the paper, but as soon as Sonic grabbed it, it crumpled on its own and started emitting a bright light.
Me: What's happening?
Sonic threw the paper into the robot's carcass, and it transformed into a sort of black hole, sucking in nearby objects.
Sonic: Get out of here!
Sonic began to be pulled in. He resisted but was the first to enter. I wanted to grab him, but Carla, using her wings, stopped me. The suction grew stronger, and Carla couldn't hold on for long. She lost her grip, and I was also pulled into the black hole, leaving Chip and Carla behind...
Sonic's POV
I woke up in what looked like a hospital room. My vision was blurry. I looked up and saw a light illuminating the room, blinding me. I also saw two heads I couldn't quite recognize, staring at me.
Me (sitting up): Ow, I don't know what's going on, but I don't need surgery.
Wendy: Sonic?
I turned to my right and saw Wendy lying on the ground as well. It looked like she had been sucked in just like me.
???: Everything happened exactly as planned.
???: Wendy, are you okay?
I looked at the shadows and saw two familiar faces: Shadow and Chelia.
Me: Shadow?
Wendy: Chelia?
Chelia jumped on Wendy, hugging her, while Shadow watched us with his arms crossed.
Me: Can someone explain what's going on?
Shadow: GUN has a mission for you.
Me & Wendy: GUN?
Shadow explained what GUN was.
Me (pouting): Why do these organizations only exist now?
Shadow: Who knows.
Chelia: I hope you didn't get hurt too badly during the trip.
Me & Wendy: The trip?
Shadow: We created that black hole that brought you here.
Me: Are you serious?
Chelia: Yes, thanks to the power of our love!
I looked at Shadow with a dumbfounded expression. Don't tell me...
Me: Shadow?
Shadow (looking away): I have nothing to explain!
I stood up and took Chelia's hands.
Me: Chelia, blink three times if he forced you to do something shady.
Shadow (hitting me on the head): Do I look like someone who would do shady things?
Me: Knowing you, even I, as a major pervert, bow down to your "skills."
Shadow: For your information, it's actually her who forces me into shady things.
Wendy (talking to Chelia): So you two are dating?
Chelia: Yes, it's been a month now.
Me: I can only imagine how the other Sabertooth members reacted when they found out.
Shadow: Aside from Yukino, everyone strangely took it well.
Wendy: By the way, where are Chip and Carla?
Chelia: Since it's a secret mission, we only brought those involved. Normally, Sonic is the only one needed for the mission, but we knew that if we took him without you, he wouldn't agree to help us.
Shadow: And it was hard to teleport you two here because of your endless "bedroom activities."
We blushed.
Chelia: If it makes you feel better, we also...
Shadow quickly put his hand over her mouth to stop her from continuing, but we had already understood.
Wendy (as red as a tomato): Chelia... You... You guys...
Chelia: I'll explain everything to you later in detail.
We headed to an office with a giant screen and a rectangular table.
Shadow: ANYWAY, the mission concerns Mobius. We have to stop an extraterrestrial threat.
Wendy: An extraterrestrial threat?
Me: I would've preferred a ghost hunt blockbuster-style, but this works too.
Chelia: Strange clouds are forming in certain cities, raining down black and red monsters.
Me: No wonder Shadow is here.
I took an uppercut from the black hedgehog, sending me flying ten meters away.
Shadow: A new wave is expected to hit Westopolis soon. That's where we'll go to understand what's happening.
Chelia: We're not sure, but the invasion might have something to do with a comet that's been passing over Mobius for several weeks.
Shadow: Our job is to figure out what's happening and fix the problem before Earth becomes the next target.
Me: That's it? I was expecting a real challenge, but we could've handled that on our own.
Shadow (serious tone): Wendy, are you sure you want to come with us?
Me: Huh? What do you mean? Of course, she's coming!
Chelia: We're asking because this isn't something for the faint of heart. It's practically a world war.
I looked at Wendy, who, to my surprise, had a determined expression.
Wendy: I... I'm coming with you!
Chelia & Me: Wendy?
Wendy: I've already seen the horrors dragons caused in Crocus. Besides, Sonic and Chelia will be with me, so I'm not afraid.
I was relieved to see she was taking it well. Shadow sighed, then nodded and pressed several buttons on a computer.
Shadow: Perfect, then let's go!
Me & Wendy: Huh? Now?!
Shadow: The wave attacking Westopolis will arrive in one hour. We have to go now.
Me: We didn't even get time to prepare.
Shadow: You're here, Wendy's here, you're not naked. That's enough, let's go!
Chelia: Shall we, Wendy?
Wendy: Yes!
They held hands, and following Shadow, we all left the office, heading outside the base to wait for a ship. We walked through the forest, unsure of where we were going.
Me: We've been walking for hours. Where's the ship?
Shalia (Shadow and Chelia) : What ship?
Me: We're not taking a ship?!
Shalia: No, we're already there!
We saw a city in the distance.
Wendy: How do you do that?
Shalia: Do what?
Wendy: How do you speak at the same time?
Chelia: Our love binds us so much that our voices become one.
Shadow: It's just a coincidence.
We stopped.
Me: So, what's the plan?
Shadow: We eliminate all extraterrestrial lifeforms with black and red skin.
I threw a left punch at Shadow.
Shadow (angry): What the hell is your problem?!
Me: Well, you did say we're eliminating all black and red aliens, didn't you?
Shadow: I'm not included!
Me (grinning): But you're the perfect match for the description!
Chelia: Boys, are you seriously going to argue at a time like this?
Me & Shadow (pointing at each other): He started it!
Wendy: Can't you guys just get along for this mission?
Chelia: Or do it for us!
We looked at each other and sighed.
Me & Shadow: Fine.
Chelia: Thinking about it, this is kind of like a double date, don't you think?
Wendy: A double date?
Me: It could've felt like one if we weren't about to fight aliens from who knows where.
The sky began to darken, clouds formed a hole in the sky, and monsters started descending into the city.
Shadow: It's time!
Chelia: Let's go before it's too late!
Wendy: Yes!
Shadow: One last thing: Everything that happens is for the success of the mission, so if one of us doesn't make it...
I patted Shadow's head.
Me (with a serious look): Don't worry, if you die... we'll just ask Chelia to follow you.
Shadow (annoyed): Haha, very funny.
Shadow took Chelia on his back and skated at full speed. I looked at Wendy before smiling at her, picking her up bridal-style, and rushing toward the city.
We arrived in the city, which was already being ravaged by the surrounding monsters. Explosions came from the sky like lightning.
Shadow's POV
I saw a horde of monsters lined up, charging at us like soldiers heading into battle. I easily destroyed them with quick combos when suddenly, I heard a voice in my head.
???: Shadow!
I stopped for a moment while Sonic and the girls continued on their way. I turned around and saw a kind of red and black jellyfish with a single eye in the middle. It projected a hologram-it was an alien like the ones we were fighting.


???: Shadow, as you can see, the invasion has already begun, and the comet will soon take effect.
Me: Who are you, and how do you know my name?
???: You'll understand soon enough once our mission is complete. Now go and bring me the Chaos Emeralds as promised.
The hologram disappeared, and the star-shaped monster flew away. What was it talking about? And I never promised to give it the emeralds.

I resumed my path, following the others. I found them taking down multiple enemies at once-Sonic using his Lightning Aura and speed to eliminate the monsters, Wendy using her Sky Dragon Wings attack to sweep them away, and Chelia using her Sky God's Dance to send them flying.
The monsters placed strange flowers that exploded on contact. I hurried to destroy them to prevent major damage.
Me: Wendy, Chelia, evacuate the civilians. Sonic and I will stop these monsters from following you.
Chelia: Alright, come on, Wendy!
Wendy: I'm coming!
They ran toward a tunnel with the civilians while Sonic and I blocked the monsters' path. Helicopters flew over the city, and G.U.N. soldiers descended, taking down the nearby monsters. Despite this, the enemies still had the advantage in numbers, and the soldiers were being wiped out one by one.
I grabbed one of their weapons and fired at the enemies, who vanished each time a bullet pierced them.
Sonic: Wow, you're doing great! Are you used to using these weapons?
Me: No, I've never used them before.
As we progressed, we found aliens guarding a cage containing a glowing object. Sonic took out the enemies with his Homing Attack, and the cage opened, revealing a green Chaos Emerald.
Sonic (grabbing the emerald): Wow, Shadow, look at this! I thought they had disappeared!
Me: After being used, the emeralds scatter across the world. We're lucky to have found one here.
We continued our raid until we found a second, yellow emerald. I spotted a motorcycle and got on.
Me: Go find the girls. I'll wait for you here.
Sonic: Okay!
He handed me the green emerald and turned back. I continued on the vehicle until I reached City Hall, which was burning. I saw aliens carrying off the city's mayor, tied up.
They boarded a ship, but I threw an energy spear that hit the hull, causing their hostage to fall. I teleported, caught him in my arms, and teleported back in front of City Hall.
Mayor: Thank you so much!
I threw a ring that displayed an image of downtown.
Me: Take this portal and get out of here!
He jumped into the portal, which disappeared. Suddenly, I sensed a presence. I teleported just as my motorcycle exploded, reappearing 10 meters away from the vehicle.
???: You disobeyed me, Shadow!
I turned around and saw the star-shaped alien, which projected the same hologram from earlier.
Me: I don't know who you are or what you want from me, but the emeralds don't belong to you.
???: It seems Gerald altered your memory regarding me.
Me: What? You know the professor?!
???: Silence! Your actions will have severe consequences!
A green light flashed, teleporting us elsewhere.
Wendy's POV
We had just secured the civilians, but we were still being pursued by the aliens. We managed to take them down easily, but there were too many.

Bird-like aliens started spitting a strange venom, infecting a quarter of the population. I had no choice but to let Cherrya fight alone while I healed the wounded.
Wendy: Chelia, are you okay?
Chelia: Don't worry about me, keep healing them.
An alien was about to strike her, but Sonic appeared through a portal ring and saved the day.
Sonic: Chelia, go help Wendy. I'll take care of the rest.
Chelia: Okay. But where's Shadow?
Sonic: He's probably waiting for us at City Hall. We need to hurry.
After 25 minutes of intense fighting, we managed to evacuate the civilians to a city in the west while Sonic lured the aliens into the forest.
Sonic: Wow, that was exhausting, but at least we saved the city.
Wendy: Too bad the city is almost completely destroyed.
Chelia: Let's hurry and find Shadow.
Chelia's phone vibrated. She picked it up and answered the video call, revealing what seemed to be the G.U.N. commander.
???: Chelia, what's the situation?
Chelia: Well, we managed to drive the aliens away from the city. They all headed into the forest. We got separated from Shadow.
???: I lost his location in the city. He must have gone into the forest as well.
Chelia: Perfect, we're heading toward his position.
She ended the call.
Chelia: Shall we go?
Me: Who was that?
Sonic: Probably the commander who sent us. We hadn't actually seen him yet.
Chelia: It's true that we involved you without much explanation.
Me: It doesn't matter. What's important is that we succeed in this mission together.
Sonic: Let's hurry before Mr. Grumpy starts sulking because his girlfriend is playing nurse.
We all laughed before heading into the forest. I felt a presence behind us, looked back, but saw nothing.
Sonic: Everything okay?
Me: I thought I sensed someone behind us.
Sonic: I don't feel any-
Sonic was suddenly impaled by an energy spear straight through his stomach. I turned around and saw a monster that almost resembled a hedgehog. As soon as it withdrew its hand, the spear disappeared, and Sonic collapsed, bleeding profusely.
Chelia & Me: SONIC!!!
The monster became like a shadow and vanished. I hurried to heal him with Chelia's help. His eyes darkened, and he was unconscious, losing too much blood. Uncontrollable tears streamed down my face. He had to survive-he couldn't die now...
[Mini Story : The Milk]
No one's POV
Carla woke up next to Wendy in their bed at Fairy Hills. She headed to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and saw a bottle of milk. She quickly poured herself a glass. At the first sip, she loved the taste so much that she drank it all in one go. She was sitting at the table when Erza joined her.
Erza: Good morning, Carla.
Carla: Good morning, Erza. Did you sleep well?
Erza: Yes. Oh, you drank milk today? I thought you didn't like it.
Carla: Yeah, but sometimes I make exceptions.
Erza: You still finished the whole bottle.
Carla: Sorry.
Erza: Don't worry, I had another one stored in the drawer.
She took another bottle from the drawer and placed it in the fridge. Wendy then entered the kitchen.
Wendy: Good morning, girls.
Carla & Erza: Good morning, Wendy.
Wendy opened the fridge and suddenly panicked when she noticed something was missing.
Erza: Is everything okay, Wendy?
Wendy: Uh... Did you see a bottle of milk with Sonic's logo on it?
Carla (holding up the empty bottle): Oh, you mean this one? Sorry, it was so delicious that I drank it all. Is there more?
Wendy: WHAT?!
Erza: Don't worry, there's another bottle.
Wendy: Actually... that bottle was kind of special...
Carla: What do you mean?
Wendy: Promise me you won't freak out?
Erza and Carla exchanged glances before nodding. Wendy then revealed the truth about the bottle's contents.
Erza & Carla: WHAT?!
Wendy: I told you not to scream!
Carla (turning red): So I... I drank Sonic's Semen ?!
Erza (also blushing): Why were you even keeping that?!
Wendy (cheeks flushed): Well... they say milk helps with growth... so I asked him...
Erza (covering her ears): Okay! Spare us the details!
Carla: The worst part... is that it tasted really good...
Wendy and Erza stared at Carla in shock.
Carla (embarrassed): THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!!
Erza (grinning slyly): You know, you could always ask Sonic for more, since you make exceptions.
Carla: DEFINITELY NOT!
