"Spill it, Happy. What did you do?" Natsu asks again.
Happy's heart pounds rapidly and starts sweating. The truth about stalking Carla and ruining her double date and the alternate world he created makes Happy's knees shake.
"Well.., I.., uh..," Happy stutters a bit.
Wendy sees Spike walking into the guildhall weakly. "Spike?" Wendy becomes worried and rushes to him. Wendy bloodcurdling shouts when she sees what happened to Spike.
"What happened?" Natsu turns in Wendy's direction and gasps horridly.
Spike's eyes are up, tears flowing on his cheeks, his head is reddish, and a thick noose scarring on his throat. He collapses onto the floor, struggling to breathe.
"Spike!" Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Lucy rush towards Spike. Wendy cries while using her healing magic.
"Yo, who the hell did this?" Wakaba asks Spike.
Spike is struggling to answer; The noose scarring prevented him from speaking. Master Makarov and Irene enter the guildhall after having their conversation.
"What's happening, my children?" Makarov sees the distraught on everyone's faces.
"Spike is dying!" Natsu frantically answers.
"WHAT?!" Master Makarov and Irene are appalled to hear the dreaded news.
"I can't heal him!" Wendy holds Spike. "Don't die, please! STAY WITH ME!" Wendy burst into tears while rubbing Spike's head.
Irene immediately checks on Spike's conditions. "Spike," She feels a familiar sense of magic power after touching the noose scarring.
"Mom, do you know anyone that uses nooses to harm anyone?" Erza asks. She wants to go looking for the bastard that traumatized her brother.
"There's no one that specifies in using nooses for weaponry. I'm afraid this outcome occurred by a different source," Irene replies. "There's one fellow I know who'll do such a thing."
"WHO?!" Natsu is boiling red and wants to beat up the punk who caused Spike to suffer. He pounds his fist in fire.
"Tells us who, and we'll pound them," Gray wants a piece of the action. He pounds his fist in ice.
Happy gulps a bit and swallows, he not looking forward to spilling the beans. Perhaps he can tell a little white lie, have Natsu beat up Tergeri, and he goes free?
"Don't even think about it, Happy."
"Who the hell said that!?" Natsu is hoping for the punk to appear and fight it.
"Show yourself!" Gray and Erza demand.
Purple eyes glow in the guildhall. A manifestation of a man with two horns on each side of the head appears. He's wearing a time clock medallion and a black top hat. He consists of wearing a business suit with number all around it. White fog shrouds the guildhall.
"Who are you, and what implications do you have with Happy?" Master Makarov asks. He wants answers to what's going on.
"Tergeri," Irene answers.
"Hello, Irene," Tergeri waves at Irene.
"You know him, Mom?" Erza is surprised her mother knows the entity.
"Yes, his name is Tergeri, the Demon of Time."
"Demon, you say," Gray taps into his Ice-Demon mode. "Allow me to take this punk out."
"That won't be necessary," Tergeri tries to explain, but Gray springs into action. Gray goes through Tergeri and lands face-first into the floor.
"Gray, my love!" Juvia runs to Gray and helps him up.
"I'm fine," Gray takes off his shirt. He wants another crack at Tergeri.
"You're going to harm your guildmates. Due to my magic, I'm not bound by time. I exist here because of my client," Tergeri explains.
"Happy is your client?" Master Makarov asks Tergeri. He notices Happy paralyzed in fear while looking at Tergeri's presence.
"There is no way Happy is your client! Tell him Happy!" Natsu refuses to acknowledge that his best friend made a deal with a Demon.
Happy's silence is more than enough for Erza and Irene to confirm that he indeed hire Tergeri. Happy turns back from Natsu in shame.
"Happy.., you didn't..," Natsu hopes that Happy is messing with him.
"Tergeri, what happened to Spike?" Irene asks Tergeri.
"Didn't Happy tell you what happened?" Tergeri asks everyone in the guildhall; They shake their heads. They don't understand the circumstance Happy created. "Well, there are things I can explain about Spike's condition. However, before I can speak, the light must shine."
"Oh, c'mon!" Happy whines to Tergeri. "I told the truth already! Why must I speak it again!"
"Cause if you don't, the world you created will return, and you'll have to redo the process again. You have until tomorrow night to speak the truth or be trapped in an infinite loop until you change."
"What did you do, Happy?" Wendy said in tears of sadness. She doesn't want Spike to die because of Happy's contract.
Happy sighs in defeat, knowing he can't prolong the truth any longer. He just scarred Wendy with a horrid image for the rest of her life. "I hired Tergeri to erase Fairy Rage because of my jealousy."
"YOU WHAT?!" Carla angrily yells at Happy louder than anyone else reacted.
Natsu can't believe what he's hearing from his best friend. "Happy. Why?"
"I'm jealous because Fairy Rage and Carla are dating."
Carla feels the need to strangle Happy for the stunt he pulled. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE AWAY SOMEONE I LOVED!?"
"It gets worse. Due to my blunder, I created a new world where Spike was never a Fairy Tail Wizard."
Silence reign. A world without Spike the Fairy gives everyone wretched thoughts. Tergeri sees the disturbed, concerned, and hysterical faces everyone has after hearing the truth.
"What happened to Spike?" Lucy asks, knowing the answer will be brutal for everyone to hear.
"The new world Happy created, Spike committed suicide to free himself from slavery. He hanged himself," Tergeri answers.
Wendy gasps in horror and cries. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"That is messed up," Gajeel imagines the possible reality of Spike committing suicide.
"After Spike hung himself, an all-out war decimated all life. Many nations fought Equestria, and neither side won. It was a bloodbath. What's happening to Spike is the result of Happy's request. Fairy Rage and Spike are one of the same. The difference is an emotion of Spike has life and developed new feelings."
"DUDE!" Natsu shouts in anger.
"NOT COOL, HAPPY!" Gray shouts in anger.
"What happened in this new world Happy created?" Master Makarov asks Tergeri.
"The world loses its magic to the self-detonation of Faces, and many wizards died. Only a few survived the apocalyptic world," Tergeri answers.
"You mean to tell us that Happy killed us all because he was jealous?" Carla wants to make sure what she heard is the truth and not a fantasy story.
"Yes," Happy answers. "Erza, Wendy, Carla, Romeo, Mirajane, and Levy survived. Everyone else in Fairy Tail died."
"I can't believe you! You caused all that because you were jealous?!" Lucy can't believe that Happy had her killed over his feelings for Carla. She's irate.
"I love you, Carla, and I always thought I would have you as my girlfriend. Getting chased by stray dogs, living in a world filled with famine, speaking with Tergeri in the harsh reality.., it's something I don't want to go through, ever," Happy turns to Tergeri. "They know the truth. Will Spike get healed?" Tergeri is silent. Happy groans. "I'm sorry that I ruined the double date. I had plans of doing so time and time again to be with you, Carla. I deserved to be expelled from the guild. I deserve any punishment fitting for causing such calamity."
A number is erased from Tergeri's suit. "Happy. You are no longer bound to the contract we've made. Say the incantation, and Spike will be free of his current situation."
"I regret coming to you because of my jealousy and stupidity," Happy honestly said. Tergeri leaves the guildhall; the fog clears along with Spike's condition. Spike breathes the fresh air.
"Spike!" Wendy hugs Spike tightly.
"Too tight, can't breathe!" Spike said. Wendy lets go of Spike, allowing him to breathe. "Thanks."
Happy sits down and covers his face. He knows Master Makarov will expel him from the guild for sure.
Master Makarov walks up to Happy. "Happy."
Happy looks up after hearing the coldness of Makarov's tone. "Yes, Master?"
Master Makarov sighs heavily. "I won't expel you from the guild since you've corrected the situation. However, I'm leaving your fate in the claws of Fairy Rage. Whatever he decides will go as planned. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes.., Master..," Happy obliges to Master Makarov's decree. He feels many scornful looks staring down at him like throwing daggers piercing the heart. He looks at Natsu. "I'm sorry, Natsu."
Natsu sighs. "You should be apologizing to Rage, Happy. I forgive you since you own up to your mistake. I'll see you at our house, Happy," Natsu leaves the guildhall.
Happy takes off and leaves the guildhall. Spike asks if it is okay to sleep over in Wendy's room after everything he endured. Wendy nods and takes him there. Carla follows and plans for a surprising day with Fairy Rage. Also, she needs separation from Happy's end-of-the-world tactics.

Yes, well, they have gotten better in the later chapters in case you haven't read. But, I'm never forgiving them for what they did to Chryssie! Flurry Heart should have been taken from her parents after the incident.
dang. talk about the 'what if' when Discord didn't show up when he did.
11207804
Sorry if I spoiled it and excuse me for ranting. I'm just telling the truth. 🍵
I knew that spike was upset when he ran away but I didn't realize it was that bad!
Happy is NO BETTER than Midnight/FAKE-Twilight of all ponies!!!!!!!!!
BUT, unlike her. AT least he is owning up to it, have extreme regret. And be like Chrysalis, Neighsay, Cozy Glow, and Rarity.

makes me wonder how bad did twilight get the princess's found out about spike's choice.
“ Breathing a deep breath and slowly exhaling heavily. “ Damn, well that’s a close call, and when Spike comes to the guildhall in that state. That scared the hell out of me.😨🍵 It’s a good thing Tergeri comes by to the guildhall just to make sure that Happy has to tell the truth one more time and I know telling the truth once again will hurt happy more than himself and the guildmates, however, it’s good that Happy tells the harsh truth to set himself free. 😌🍵 If not he’ll suffer the cycle of hell with regret and guilt, now that’s a personal hell for Happy. “Yikes.” 🍵
You did a great job on this Chapter Ponyjoel and you got my heart rate racing again.😎🍵 I’ll wait for Happy’s judgment day when he is ready to come to face Frairy Rage. With a brave face for the little blue cat well Happy Time to face punishment at the claws of Fairy Rage. “Sinister laugh” 😈🥃
I’ll Stay Tuned for the next chapter of Spike the Fairy.👆
Good grief Happy, wait till the last possible moment why don't you!!!
*sigh* at the very least he didn't become stupid & accepted the truth instead of doubling down on it (unlike a certain Deceitful one)
Wonder what punishment Rage will dish out on dumb cat for this?

It really reminds me of Patrick when he tells the story of the Ulgy barnacle.
11207919
“Sinister laugh” 😈🥃 you’ll see very soon.
11207921

11207933
I apologize for beating a dead sponge that absorbs my bat hits so many times.🍨 That show will never die until it runs out of money. “Ugh”

My guess, and I hope it happens, is in accordance to his namesake and as a show of intimidation, he'll practically 'Rage' out and go on the hunt for Happy in a combination of Roaring Rampage of Revenge and Revenge Before Reason faction just to play out Happy's worst fear and hopefully scare that cat straight from ever doing something underhanded like this again, especially to his brother and girlfriend. That is, if Happy decides to weasel out of facing Rage and apologizing.
