#braiya

An alternative spin on the Avatar Arc where Braiya is released from prison and goes to Magnolia City and subsequently joins Fairy Tail. She’s then confronted by Gray about what she said during the fight months ago. I’ve wanted to write about them for a while but never had a chance.

“So, how do you like Fairy Tail so far?” Gray asked Briar. As per usual, tables and chairs were flying in the air as a guild brawl was currently taking place. The dark-skinned woman shifted uncomfortably in her seat as she ducked a chair that nearly took her head off.

“Well it’s certainly....um lively,” Briar commented in a slightly awkward manner. “It’s not what I’m used to, to be honest.” A slight grin appeared on Gray’s face just then.

“You’ll get used to it eventually,” Gray said in a lazy manner. “It’s different from Avatar.”

“Yeah,” Briar said softly. During her time in prison, Briar thought about her role in the Zeref debacle and was positively ashamed for her role in it. After getting released, Briar decided to make a fresh start for herself. The first thing she did was head to Magnolia City to Fairy Tail. After practically begging them for their forgiveness for participating in the Zeref scandal, she was surprised to see Natsu laughing it off before throwing an arm on her shoulder and say that bygones were bygones. To her shock, they even invited her to join Fairy Tail. That was a month ago and even now, the Clone mage was still adjusting to the lively life that was Fairy Tail. She even changed outfits. She traded in her strapless bra top and loin cloth for a more modest outfit. She was now wearing a silver elbow-length peasant dress with a black lace up corset along with black ankle flat boots. She kept her hair in the same style though.

“Hey Briar, can I ask you something?” Gray asked seriously. There had been something nagging him at the back of his head for the last few days and hadn’t been able to figure it out until last night.

“Um sure,” Briar said, noting the serious look that suddenly appeared on his face. She then followed Gray to a semi-secluded part of the guild. Briar then got the creepy sensation that someone was watching her and turned to see Juvia glaring at her from behind a pillar.

“Are you going to do something about your stalker?” Briar asked bluntly.

“Damn it. Hold on,” Gray muttered. At that moment a semi-tall wall of ice appeared, blocking anyone from entering.

“That’s better,” Gray said before sitting down a table with Briar sitting across from him.

“So what is it that you wanted to ask me?” Briar asked.

“Did you mean what you said?” Gray asked. “When you said that you were in love with me back at the moment?”

by giveaway i mean whoever asks for it first ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We also get to see what Braiya’s magic is. At first, I was trying to remember who Braiya is before it was highlighted that she was the dark-skinned lady who was so angry at Gray for lying to them. With the word, “love” in the title, I assumed she would have had fallen for Gray. And with Wendy present in the battle against the Avatar army (who should have been taking care of Juvia), we can assume that Juvia will show up and kick Braiya’s ass for being her love rival. Pfft! Too easy to predict, but nonetheless, fun and awesome! :)

I am really glad Fairy Tail is getting the highlight of being able to beat down the villains in a couple of chapters only, as opposed to before. It goes to show that they have really grown within a year.

Now, I was wondering where Gajeel Redfox and Levy McGarden are. A town was about to be attacked and the Magic Council’s forces do nothing. I guess they will show up much later. And I am guessing, they will show up when this “…Ikusatsunagi shakes the earth…”

With Arlock confident in saying that everything is going according to what was predicted, I theorize that: Instead of the whole town being offered for purification, it is the army of Avatar cultists that are being offered since they are being beaten up by Fairy Tail. This offertory would then give rise to “Ikusatsunagi”. Let’s see in the next double chapter next week!

Lucy Heartfilia giving Mary a beating.

Wendy Marvell in Dragon Force using Sky Dragon’s Wave Wind.

The Fairy Tail mages fight valiantly.

Chapter Disappointment: If Lucy was taken down, then that would have been disappointing. But it did not happen so, none.

Chapter Approval: Fairy Tail FTW as usual!! Lucy is finally able to hold her ground and is no longer the weakest link in their team (with a little help from her friends). Wendy easily using Dragon Force.

Chapter Witticism: Gray and Juvia stripping down their tops together in the heat of battle. O.o Really!? Also, Braiya’s Clone Magic, which is actually just a split personality disorder embodied into four Braiyas, is something I really do not think can be considered “Black Magic”.

Chapter Cliffhanger: My theory that instead of offering the town for purification, it is actually the army of Avatar cultists that are being offered and that Fairy Tail is aiding in this “purification”, which would then give rise to “Ikusatsunagi”.
