Chapter 1

Return

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, only my own OC's and Ideas

Frea leaned back in her seat and let her eyes fall closed, arms crossed behind her head, letting out a low sigh. They were on their way back to Magnolia now, the Party having come to a screeching halt after the Guilds started a fight to try and get Yukino to join their Guilds.

And then, there was Natsu.

Everyone had wondered where in the hell he had gone, and when they finally figured it out, you could say that Master was a little... Less than pleased.

Stupid Flame-Brain... I can't believe he stole the King's crown... What an idiot...

She cracked her eyes open a little to stare up at the roof of the train car they were in, quirking an eyebrow.

Did he ever give it back...? I don't remember...

She shrugged the thought off, she didn't know, and she really just didn't care. Let the idiot get in trouble for it, he might get some sense knocked into him.

As they had left Crocus, the city had been pretty much rebuilt, and due to the fact that the city's civilians had been evacuated before the Fight with the Dragons began, naturally, the King had been trying to keep the incident under wraps. With that in mind, now there was a rumor that a Dragon had been created by Magic, and set off just after the Games concluded.

None of the Civilians were aware of what really happened.

Though, there was no doubt in her mind, that DoranBolt would be altering some memories of what happened, she just didn't know who he would do it to.

The seat across from her was occupied by Levy, with Cana sitting next to her. Moon was sitting comfortably in her lap, with Lily sitting in Levy's. Gajeel was in the seat next to her, though he was silent, and glancing over, his cheeks were puffed up and he was a little green.

Motion sickness sucks...

She knew how he felt, though she didn't get sick on trains, only boats.

Across the isle, Chase was sitting with Bisca, Alzack, Master and Asuka, who was currently seated in Chase's lap, smiling cheekily. Frea let a small smile slip as she spotted them, Chase really was quite good at getting along with everyone, and Asuka seemed to love him... She looked away and glanced toward the ceiling.

Chase was friendly, smart, funny... There wasn't a person she had ever seen him not get along with. She bit her lip and sweatdropped.

Actually... Scratch that, Chase did not get along with Laxus.

Its weird though... Even I can handle the Lightning Idiot on most days... But Chase can't seem to stand him...

She shrugged the thought off for now.

The whole train car was rowdy, being filled with most of their other members. Everyone was on pins and needles, still extremely happy with the outcome of the Games. Levy and Cana were happily chatting away with one another, Cana sipping on a flask while she did so. Moon and Lily were talking too, and Frea smiled a little to see the two were getting along quite well despite Moon's initial coldness toward him.

The car was a little less noisy, due to the fact that neither Gray or Natsu were here. They had chosen, along with Wendy, Lucy, Juvia, Carla and Erza to take a carriage back to Magnolia instead of taking the train. She partly wondered if the alternative mode of transportation had been Natsu's idea, though she wouldn't see why, he would still get sick in a carriage... Then again, Natsu wasn't known for his intelligence.

She let her eyes fall closed again as she let out a sigh, the air around her was swimming with happy emotions, not a single person here was unhappy. It was pleasant, she had to admit, this being opposed to the tense situations and feelings that had been going around the Guild for the last few days during the GMG and the Fight against the Dragons.

Her eyes snapped open suddenly when the Energy in the air shifted, and she sweatdropped.

There it is again...

The Energy in the air changed, it became something unnatural, not normal. The air seemed to buzz, and sounds were blocked out momentarily. Her stomach involuntarily flipped at the sudden change, and she groaned on the inside. This was not a pleasant feeling...But then it was gone again, and the Energy returned to normal, the buzz went away, and the sounds around her increased again. She narrowed her eyes, she had gone rigid the minute the Energy Shifted, and she forced herself to relax now that it had ended.

What in the hell is that? Why does it keep happening?

She didn't have an answer, but it was starting to worry her a little. The Energy didn't just shift like that for no reason, especially not as much as it was... Whenever it happened, it felt like the air disappeared for a minute, like it was gone completely... But it only lasted for such a short amount of time, that it wasn't an issue.

Anyone other than herself wouldn't have felt it, and she glanced to the left to see Chase was sweatdropping too, though he kept a smile not to alarm any of the others. She looked away and out the window, he had felt it too, of that she was sure. How could he not? He had felt it, along with herself, the first time it had happened.

Due to the events that had gone on for the last few days, with the fighting, Eclipse, the Dragons, and the GMG, she hadn't been awarded the opportunity to bring it up with him. She needed to, they had to start thinking about it, decide on what it is, maybe find out why it was happening.

She silently concluded she would take the time to talk it over with him, once she had the chance to get him alone for awhile, with no interruptions.

She contemplated on the idea of maybe bringing the subject up with Jynx, thinking the ghost girl might have some insight. But she didn't see that as a good idea at the moment, Jynx wouldn't be able to feel the Energy shifting, she wouldn't know what was going on any better than Chase or herself would.

I'll keep this between Chase and I for now... Until I find out more, then I might ask Jynx.

She closed her eyes again, head resting against the seat and face tilted up toward the roof of the train car. She would think it over during the train ride, this was the perfect opportunity to really think things through and straighten her thoughts out.

She had become quite good at blocking out noise around her, it was almost essential, when you lived in such a noisy Guild for most of your life, she cracked a small smile at thought. The sounds of her Guild-Mayes slowly drifted away, until they were only a low buzz in the back of her mind.

She had so much to think through, so much to organize. Her head had been swimming for awhile now with all she had learned, and all that had happened. Many topics pressed upon her mind as she made sense of them and organized them, putting things together and concluding them.

But one thought struck her, one thought she had no answer to, and one that pressed an almost urgency upon her mind, that she didn't understand at the moment.

What is causing the Energy to shift?

"Your back!"

"You finally returned!"

"Fairy Tail!"

Frea walked along the crowded streets slowly, glancing back and forth. They had arrived to find the town filled with cheering people, and now she along with everyone else in the Guild were walking in the middle of the street, cheering crowds on either side as they were showered with praise and confetti.

There were so many people, a lot more than there could be in Magnolia, there were people from other towns here. Moon was walking along beside her with wide eyes, this being the first time she had been to Magnolia.

"There are so many people here..." Lucy murmured.

"Its amazing..." Lily breathed.

"You said it..." Moon murmured.

"We're the best!" Gajeel smirked.

"We won!" Master shouted in joy, Azuka smiling widely as she rode on the old man's shoulders.

"Lets celebrate with Booz!" Cana cheered.

"Stop it Cana." Laxus told her with an annoyed expression.

"Hehe... Even Twilight Ogre's cheering..." Chase chuckled as he walked up to her shoulder.

Frea glanced toward the crowds to see he was right, and she smirked a little too. They headed along the roads, being pushed on toward the center of town.

She cast a quick glance Chase's way. He wasn't looking at her, and despite the cheerful smile he was wearing, she knew what he was really thinking and feeling. He was worried, confused, just as she was, and she had no doubt that he wanted to speak with her about the Energy Shifts just as much as she did.

Unfortunately, now really wasn't the time.

"I'll show you all something good!" Natsu shouted, dropping to one knee as he dug around in his bag. Frea's attention turned to him as he shouted out, and her head tilted slightly at what he was doing.

"Taaddaaaa!"

In his hands, he had lifted the King's Crown up above him, causing several of the Fairy Tail member's jaws to drop. Frea sweatdropped, sighing heavily and pinching the bridge of her nose.

Well... There's my answer...

"YOU TOOK IT?!"

"That's not what I wanted..." Natsu murmured, placing the crown back in his bag and digging trough it again. He didn't seem to take notice of the shocked expressions, or he just didn't care.

"Here we go!"

He lifted a huge Gold Cup up above his head, "Proof of your victory! The King's Cup!"

The rest of Fairy Tail let out roars of approval at the words, and Frea smiled a little more.

"The Mayor will now award you with a commemorative item!" The Guild Master of Twilight Ogre announced. They all came to a halt as the Mayor of the town stopped before them, smiling softly.

"A commemorative item? You shouldn't have..." Master told him with a small embarrassed smile.

The Mayor shook his head an held out an arm, "Fairy Tail... Over here please."

Everyone's heads turned in the direction the Mayor had gestured, and their eyes went wide. Frea's eyes went wide, before them stood a massive Building, the Guild's original Hall, but it was improved and better than ever.

"Fairy Tail is our town's Pride. So, I thought I would award you with the restoration of your Guild." The Mayor explained.

"The Guild's back to normal!" Natsu shouted with an almost childish look on his face.

"Aye!"

Master was shocked beyond belief and he turned to the Mayor, "Oh Mayor... You really..." Master Makarov stammered but the Mayor held up a hand to stop him.

"No, no..." The man smiled. "Everyone helped out and fixed it." He explained and Master stood there, shaking as tears started to flow down his face faster and faster.

"I love this town!" Master shouted out and Frea smiled.

She couldn't help herself in that instant, to see everyone so happy and at ease. Their happy emotions lifted her spirits a little, and she was glad for it.

But even as she stood there, among the smiling faces and celebrating people, her smile slowly fell, and she glanced toward the sky with an almost grim expression, unfit for such happy festivities. Everything was great, no one was in trouble, hurt or fighting. This could possibly e the most at ease and happy the Guild had been at for some time... But even so...she couldn't help but get the feeling:

Something was going to go wrong, and soon.
