Peek Into the Past (Fairy Tail Next Gen)

Episode 5

Hey guys, I just wanted to warn you that I will be experimenting with a different format for this new chapter. However, it will still go along with the established plot. Enjoy!

The images on the screen started getting all glitchy.

"Hey, what's the big idea?" Nashi yelled impatiently while Emma ran to check the lacrima.

"It's probably allergic to you, Pinky," Storm scoffed.

"Objects can't be allergic, Ice Brain-"

"STOP!" Rosemary yelled. They shut up instantly. Emma examined the lacrima with a small frown.

"It's slightly cracked," she observed.

"WHAT?!" everyone exclaimed. Nova scratched the back of her neck sheepishly.

"Heh, heh... I might have accidentally dropped the bag because I was in a hurry?" she admitted.

"Calm down, guys. It'll probably still work," Rin sighed.

"Yeah! It might skip a bit, but it's still watchable-kina!" Cubi pointed out.

"Looks like those recaps will come in handy," Eugene said.

"So, we still want to watch them?" Emma asked. After a moment, everyone nodded. She carefully re-inserted the lacrima, and it skipped to the next intact part.

Highlights of fight in Episode 2

Lucy's voice: There's not one sane person in the whole place!

Gray: Erza's due back anytime.

Natsu looks scared, Lucy surprised.

Lucy: The Erza?

Happy: (eating fish) Yep, she's the most powerful woman in all of Fairy Tail. She's scary like a monster!

Black silhouette of a giant girl breathing fire and wrecking a town. Lucy looks skeptical.

"Did Mom ever find out about this?" Rosemary chuckled.

"I doubt it; those three are still here," Reiki smirked.

"True."

Random guys kidnap Happy.

Happy: They caught me.

Natsu and Gray: (during fight highlights) Give Happy back!

Shadow hand crushes those same guys, now tied to a tree.

Natsu: But what could this mean?

Lucy: Lullaby...

"So now we get to see some enemies!" Storm said excitedly.

"About time," Gale agreed.

"See? Recaps are handy once in a while," Eugene said.

"You were the one who was complaining about them," Nova pointed out.

"You're silly!" Becky laughed at him. Eugene just scoffed.

Establishing shot: Fairy Tail guild hall.

Man's voice: Hey, Mira! Can we get three beers over here, please?

Mirajane: (carrying mugs of beer) Be right with you!

Wakaba: So when are you and I gonna go on a date, Mira?

"Eww! Even his pipe smoke has hearts!" Nashi exclaimed, disgusted.
