Ever since MAGES. had made it to Planeptune, her mind had been set on one thing and one thing only. Discover the secrets of the Fairy Tower. MAGES. had spoken to Histoire at length about the Fairy Tower on many occasions, but the fairy like girl refused to divulge any of it’s secrets.
“Yes it’s me!” MAGES. said, as she grabbed her cell phone from her pocket and began speaking feverishly into it. “I’m at the Fairy Tower now, but the one known as Histoire refuses to tell me anything about the Fairy Tower. I’m afraid we might have to scrap our plans until later.”
Histoire sighed deeply. “Are you actually talking to anyone?” Asked Histoire, looking dully up at MAGES..
“I have to go. She’s getting suspicious. Loochs tneve emag noitamina cisum.” MAGES. said, before hanging up her phone and sliding it back into her pocket. “Well Histoire, I must go. I have other maters I must attend to.”
“Very well.” Histoire said, bowing her head a little. “But you should know. I cannot tell you anything about the Fairy Tower that’s listed as classified.” Histoire said, before disappearing.
“Yes you will.” MAGES. said, smiling mischievously.
Histoire suddenly reappeared. “No I won’t.” She said, before disappearing once more.
MAGES. turned to leave, she managed to walk a few steps when a loud scream caused her to stop in mid-stride. MAGES. scanned the area for the owner of that scream, but all she saw were monsters.
“Where are you?” MAGES. called out.
“H-H-HERE!” Came the voice of a girl.
MAGES. eyes went wide when she spotted a red haired girl running over a hill, she was quickly followed by dozens of monsters. Most of those monsters were dogoo, but there were other monsters as well.
MAGES. held up her staff. Moments later a large boulder fell from the sky and smashed into the onslaught of monsters. After that, she swung her staff around in a circle causing fire to rain down from the sky and kill the remaining monsters.
“HELP!” The red haired girl cried.
“I killed the monsters so you-” Before MAGES. could finish speaking, the girl plowed into her, knocking both of them to the ground. “Ouch. That really hurt.” MAGES. said rubbing the side of her head. MAGES. noticed the red haired girl was straddling her waist.
“Oh no.” The red haired girl began. “Did I tire you out already?” She asked.
“Little pest. Who are you?” MAGES. demanded.
“My name’s Red! What’s your name babe?” Asked Red, smiling brightly at MAGES..
“Babe? That doesn’t fit me at all. Call me MAGES. the mad magician!” Said MAGES..
“Mages?” Said Red, smiling even brighter than before.
“No. It’s MAGES. with a period at the end.” Said MAGES..
“I’m not sure that makes sense, but I’ll call you MAGES.. Okay babe?” Said Red.
“Whatever. Get off me Red.” Said MAGES., annoyed.
Red did what was asked of her and climbed off the mad magician. Once the two were standing, MAGES. noticed that red was walking a small circle around her. Once she was standing back in front of the girl, she crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I made up my mind. You’re going to be my next wifey!” Said Red.
“Wifey? I don’t think so.” Said MAGES., shaking her head.
“You…” Red began, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. “Don’t want to be my wifey?”
“That’s correct.” Said MAGES., as she dusted herself off. “I must leave now Red. I would say it was a pleasure to meet you, but I don’t believe in lying.” And with that, MAGES. headed back to Planeptune, certain that she wouldn’t see Red again.
However, that wasn’t the case. When HachimaJin attacked the city, MAGES. was forced to work along side Red, who still insisted that she was Red’s wifey. When HachimaJin was dealt with by Neptune, Nepgear and Purple Sister, MAGES. decided that she would travel to the Fairy Tower surrounded by dragons and train along side her new acquaintances.
The day before MAGES. was to travel with everyone to the Fairy Tower located furthest away from Planeptune, she decided to complete another experiment she was working on. MAGES. had been staying in a small hotel. Even though she didn’t tell anyone where she was staying, she was surprised when she opened her door to leave for the day.
“Red.” MAGES. said, sighing deeply. “Don’t tell me! You’re working for the organization?!”
“What’s an organization?” Asked Red, tilting her head slightly to the right.
“No. They would never employ someone who’s so soft in the head.” Said MAGES..
Red blushed. “Thanks!” She said. “So where’s my precious wifey going today?” She asked.
“I’m stepping out of Planeptune for a moment. I’m working on a device and I need some peace and quiet to finish it.” Said MAGES., grabbing a small bag that was resting near the door and brushing past Red.
“Cool! I’ll go with you!” Said Red, ignoring the ‘peace’ and ‘quiet’ part of what MAGES. wanted.
MAGES. sighed deeply as she made her way out of the hotel and down the long street heading towards Planeptune’s gate. As the two girls walked, MAGES. could hear Red giggling behind her. “What amuses you so?” She asked.
“I’m going on a date with my wifey! I’m so happy!” Said Red, blushing heavily.
“I’m not your wifey and this isn’t a date.” Said MAGES.. “Seriously. What do I have to say to make you understand?”
“I understand.” Said Red, speaking up.
“Do you?” Asked MAGES..
“Yep! My wifey is playing hard to get!” Said Red.
MAGES. rolled her eyes. “Clearly you don’t get it.”
MAGES. and red reached Planeptune’s gate. As they walked through it, MAGES. Noticed that IF, Falcome and Purple Sister were talking amongst themselves. “Hello Wifeys!” Red called, waving to the group of girls.
“Yes. Hello.” Said MAGES.. Normally MAGES. would have stopped to chat with them more, but when she noticed that Red was making her way over to them, she took that as an opportunity to escape.
“Look! My other wifeys!” Said Red. “MAGES. we should-” Red began, but when she looked back at MAGES., she realized that the woman was walking away. “Wait for me!” She cried, running to catch up.
MAGES. rolled her eyes. “I thought I lost her.” Thought MAGES.. “Are you sure you want to leave them. You’ll have three wifeys to spoil you.” She said.
“That’s alright.” Said Red. “I’ll let them spoil me later. I want to spoil you now!” Red jogged forwards and was now walking backwards in front of MAGES.. “So… do you want me to carry the bag?” She asked.
“No need. This is a trifle.” Said MAGES..
“Do you want me to carry you? Princess style?” Asked Red.
“No need.” Said MAGES..
“Do you-” Red began.
“NO NEED!” MAGES. shouted.
Red was stunned by MAGES. sudden outburst. “I-I’m sorry.” She began.
“No.” Said MAGES. shaking her head. “I apologize for my outburst. It was unbecoming of me.”
Red and MAGES. continued their journey until they reached a small grove of trees. As they walked around the trees, the girls soon spotted a small cabin. “What’s this place?” Asked Red. “Is this our new home?”
“No.” MAGES. said, attempting to keep her temper in check. “Currently I’m working on a device that should drive monsters away from it. I was working on it back home, but didn’t get a chance to finish it. Now I have a chance to put the final touches on it.” Said MAGES..
“Neat!” Said Red.
The two girls were about to enter the cabin, but stopped when they spotted several dogoo approach. The creatures growled angrily at the two girls. “Don’t worry!” Said Red, summoning her toy hammer. “I’ll kill them.”
“I appreciate it, but it’s not necessary. If my device works, these dogoo should scamper off.” Said MAGES..
Red nodded as she followed MAGES. into the cabin. The cabin was small and it looked as though it had been abandoned many years ago. A large table was located in the middle of the room and it was filled with old junk. The other furniture in the cabin looked unusable as well. “IF told me about this cabin. She told me that she and Compa had to take refuge here once.”
“Really? Cool!” Said Red.
MAGES. made her way over to the table. After clearing a spot for her to work, she reached into her bag and pulled out the device she had been working on. The device was small and it looked cylindrical. Several speakers were embedded into the device as well. “Now then. I shall get to work. If you get bored, you may leave.” Said MAGES..
“I won’t get bored.” Said Red. “Besides. I have to protect you just incase something goes wrong!”
“You have my gratitude.” Said MAGES., as she got to work. “But I doubt anything will go wrong.” And with those words, MAGES. got to work. The first thing MAGES. did was flip a small switch located on the bottom of her device.
The moment MAGES. flipped that switch, the sounds of the dogoos outside increased. The creatures angrily smacked the door and walls of the cabin with their gelatinous bodies.
“Uh-oh.” Said Red, making her way over to a window and peering out. Red noticed several more dogoos making their way towards the cabin.
“Don’t worry.” Said Red, as she took out her tools and started working on the device in front of her. “This cabin should be strong enough to keep the dogoos away. As you can see, the device does the exact opposite of what it’s supposed to do. That’s why I asked IF if she knew of any places outside Planeptune that I could work in peace.”
“Oh. That’s smart.” Said Red.
MAGES. nodded. “I am aware.” Said MAGES. as she flipped the switch on the device once more. The dogoos outside settled down.
Red turned away from the window and watched as MAGES. started tinkering with her device. Every once in a while the girl would flip the switch on the device, leave it on for a few moments, before turning it back off.
After a few moments of this, MAGES. turned the device back on. “That should do it.” She said.
Red turned back towards the window and gasped. All she could see was an ocean of dogoo. “Whoa! MAGEY! There are so many dogoo outside!” The girl cried.
“Nonsense. I’m certain.” MAGES. began, but stopped talking when several dogoos leapt through the few remaining windows in the cabin. Glass was sent flying through the air as the creatures landed on the floor and started growling angrily at the two girls. “Perhaps you’re correct.” MAGES. said, as more dogoos started flooding into the cabin through the open windows.
“I got em’!” Red said, as she lifted her toy hammer and brought it down on several dogoo at the same time. The little creatures tried to scamper away, but Red was faster and managed to defeat them.
MAGES. turned her device off once more. “Try to hold them off. I think I know what went wrong.” Said MAGES., as she started tinkering with her device once more.
Red ran around the cabin killing the dogoo as fast as she could, but more and more of the creatures flooded into the cabin. Even though Red was normally upbeat about things, even she was starting to feel nervous.
“I better…” Red began, as she pulled out her phone.
MAGES. desperately tried to fix the problem she caused. She rerouted power on her device, changed the amplification of the noise going through the speakers. As she worked, she heard Red was speaking to someone. “Poor thing has lost her mind.” MAGES. thought. “If we get out of this alive. I shall reward her with a pat on the head. Maybe…”
It was at that moment MAGES. realized that the dogoo attack had lessened. “Red. You are truly skilled at fighting dogoo.” Said MAGES..
“Thanks, but I called in some help.” Said Red.
MAGES., for the first time, turned her attention from her device and looked at Red, who was pointing outside a nearby window. MAGES. turned towards the window. That’s where she spotted Purple Sister.
Purple Sister was cutting through the dogoo with amazing speed. Any of the dogoo who were trying to go through the nearby windows were shot before they could jump through.
“Excellent work.” Said MAGES., turning her attention back to her device. After adjusting a few more things, MAGES. turned her device back on. The dogoo roared loudly, but their roar was different from before. Instead of getting angry and attacking the cabin, instead they began fleeing from it.
MAGES. took a deep breath. “Thanks Red.” Said MAGES. “I owe you a pat on the head.”
***
The following morning MAGES. awoke early. After getting dressed and grabbing a few other items she planned on taking with her, MAGES. Opened the door of her hotel room. The girl wasn’t surprised to see Red standing on the other side of the door waiting for her. “Why didn’t you know girl named Red?” MAGES. asked.
“I didn’t want to wake my wifey.” Said Red, smiling gleefully.
MAGES. sighed deeply, before she reached up and patted Red on the head. “You are a very strange girl, but I’m done fighting you. You may refer to me as your wifey if you wish, but know this. I’m a very demanding wifey.”
“Demanding wifeys are as precious to me as my quiet wifeys.” Said Red, blushing.
MAGES. stepped out of her room and led the two girls to Planeptune’s gate. As they moved towards the gate, the two girls could see everyone was waiting for them. IF, Compa and Falcom.
“Sorry were late!” Said Red, running over to the girls. “Did any of you miss me?”
“Not really.” Said IF.
“I missed you.” Said Compa.
“Anyways… Histoire’s going to teleport us to the third Fairy Tower, right?” Asked Falcom. “Has anyone ever used it before? Is it safe?”
“It’s fine.” Said IF. “Is everyone ready?”
“Yes of course.” Said MAGES., hiding her face using her hands. “A mad magician is always ready!”
