Sometime after Team Natsu completed the 100 Year Quest, which took them 27 years to complete. As soon as they got back from the mission, which was 5 weeks later, the guild was totally different, with Asuka Connell as a key member of the guild Fairy Tail, along with most of the other well known guild members of Fairy Tail still there. Also, a lot of new members joined the guild as well. We are currently in the year X820. Who knows what to expect when they get back to Magnolia 27 years later. A member of Team Natsu said, "We're almost at the guild, right Happy?"

Happy answered, "Aye. But it seems that there are new guilds all over the place. 27 years have passed since we left for the 100 Year Quest, right Erza?"

Erza Scarlet answered, "Yep. Twilight Ogre disbanded it seems and a new guild took over their base of operations."

The man with pink hair said, "This is going to be fun. I wonder what everyone else is doing now."

Happy said, "Probably got older like us, Natsu."

Natsu Dragneel said, "Agreed. That 100 Year Quest was really difficult. Right Gray?"

Gray Fullbuster said, "Yep. That immortal bastard kept getting in our way. It was really difficult to handle."

The girl with yellow hair said, "Agreed. He was a total ass to everyone he attacked."

Happy said, "Wendy, what did you think of it?"

Wendy Marvell answered, "I grew a lot and the battle was difficult like Lucy and Gray were saying. Even locating what we were looking for was very difficult."

Lucy Heartfilia said, "Huh, where'd that new guy go anyway? That Ice Dragon God Slayer guy go."

Natsu answered, "He went to visit his parents who he hasn't seen in 35 years. He said that he won't join Fairy Tail, but if we are going on another long adventure to come get him."

Wendy's cat said, "He really seemed like a nice guy. But had two different personalities which was quite scary."

Wendy said, "Carla is right. Travis had a personality for being a regular person. And then he turned into a scary person once he got hit."

Gray said, "Yeah, that man was scarier than Erza."

Natsu said, "Agreed."

They appeared in front of Fairy Tail and then said, "Here we are. Fairy Tail. The guild building grew taller. Yes it did. It even looks newer than when we left. Let's go on inside of the guild."

They walked to the door and then pushed it open and then everyone looked at the doors opening and then saw 5 hooded people and two cats. Natsu looked around and then said, "Oh, new people."

Erza said, "The guild really has changed."

Gray said, "Hell, the entire world changed."

The 9th guildmaster of Fairy Tail appeared and asked, "Who are you guys?"

They heard that and then took their hoods off and everyone said, "It's Natsu and the others. They are back from their 100 Year Quest. How'd it go?"

Natsu answered, "It was a pain in the ass to deal with."

Lucy said, "This immortal man and his crazy ass empire kept getting in our way."

Erza said, "It took us a while to defeat them all."

Wendy said, "He was very mean to everyone."

Gray said, "I wouldn't want to face him again."

Natsu said, "So, what happened to Magnolia?"

They looked at each other and then answered, "Magnolia grew exponentially. New guilds are trying to rival Fairy Tail, but just can't compete with us. With you 5 back, we're an unstoppable force. Laxus is now the guildmaster. He took over after gramps passed away from old age."

Laxus Dreyar said, "Welcome back Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy, Wendy, Happy, and Carla. We've been waiting for you for a very long time. But it seems like you are alright."

Wendy said, "We survived because of our fallen comrades."

Natsu said, "Yes, a lot of people joined us on our quest to complete the 100 Year Quest. A quest that Gildarts couldn't even complete."

Lucy said, "The immortal man loved talking shit."

Natsu said, "Let's party."

Gray said, "Agreed."

Erza said, "A welcome back party would be nice."

Everyone started cheering and then food, drinks, and laughter were all in motion. Laxus appeared next to Natsu and asked, "What was this immortal like?"

Natsu answered, "He was a complete douche. Talked shit about everyone he attacked. I think that his name was Alvarez. He led the Gondie Empire. He used Holy Magic."

Laxus said, "Alvarez, that's right. He's one of the most evil magicians in history. He's been alive since the year X1. He's been attacking villages and countries ever since he turned 15 years old. He was one crazy man."

Natsu said, "The new guys."

Laxus said, "One of them is Asuka Connell, Bisca and Alzack's child."

Natsu heard that and said, "Oh yeah, it's been 27 years since we left. That's to be expected."

Laxus said, "She grew up to be a model actually for the Weekly Sorcerer."

Natsu said, "Oh, what type of magic does she have?"

Laxus answered, "Gun Magic like her parents. The big muscular guy over there is Mike Grundy. He specializes in Strength Magic. He and Gajeel fight all the time because they both think that they are the strongest in the guild, but in the end, they both got knocked out by Mirajane."

Natsu laughed and said, "To be expected."

Laxus said, "The good looking girl in the back is a 15 year old girl who is also on the Weekly Sorcerer. She's similar to Erza using Requip Magic. Her name is Millie."

Natsu said, "A rival for Erza, huh? That should be interesting."

Laxus said, "Oh yeah, there is only one guild that rivals Fairy Tail, but it's not in Magnolia. It's in Crocus, the capital of Fiore. It's known as Atlas' Flame. It was named after the Dragon Atlas Flame. They are extremely strong."

Natsu heard that and then Laxus said, "Especially one man. His magic is capable of putting a humongous hole in the Earth. Probably capable of destroying the entire world killing everyone including himself."

Natsu heard that and then Laxus said, "His magic is known as the Light Blue Flame Dragon God Slayer Magic. We faced him during the finals at the Grand Magic Games and after his team members were defeated by us, he steps forward and challenges the 5 of us and almost won. He defeated 4 of the 5 members of Fairy Tail."

Gajeel said, "Yeah, he was stronger than we expected. Even I lost to him."

Natsu laughed and said, "Interesting. I'd like to face him."

Laxus said, "Of course you would."

A member of the new Rune Knights appeared saying, "Team Natsu, the Magic Council wants a word with you."

Everyone heard that and then Natsu asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Erza said, "We just got back. Can't we celebrate that fact?"

The Rune Knight said, "Immediately. This is urgent."

Laxus heard that and said, "A new council was born while you were gone. And they are serious about everything they do. So don't disobey them. We already knows what'll happen when we disobey them."

Natsu heard that and Gray asked, "What will they do?"

Mirajane Strauss answered, "Arrest you for disobeying them. A member of Rocky Mountain was arrested 10 days ago. No one liked him, so I don't blame them."

Natsu sighed and then Lucy said, "I guess that celebrating can wait."

Wendy said, "Just because we completed the 100 Year Quest."

Erza said, "We're the strongest team in history."

Natsu said, "Agreed."

Laxus said, "You know, I hope that we get to fight once again. I won't accept your defeat till I defeat you again, Natsu."

Natsu said, "Hell, you know that I'll win, right? I did defeat both Zeref and Acnologia."

Laxus heard that and said, "With the help of others."

Natsu said, "With the help of the feelings of the guild Fairy Tail."

They walked with the Rune Knight and then they disappeared as soon as they walked past the door and then Laxus saw that and said, "So that's what happens when the guild members disappear. Nice."

Mirajane said, "First time seeing it and it amazes us. Will they be ok?"

Laxus said, "We'll see."

Team Natsu appeared in a room where the Council members chat with guild members from afar. They saw that and looked around and Erza said, "This place is different from the last time I was here."

Natsu said, "You're right. It really is different."

Wendy heard that and then said, "You two were here."

Erza said, "Yeah, it's a long story."

Natsu said, "She got arrested and I appeared barging in trying to say that I was Erza."

Erza said, "Failed terribly. We both got arrested. And was released later on."

Natsu nodded and then the council members arrived and said, "Thank you for coming. We humbly welcome you here."

Natsu asked, "What's so important that you had to interrupt our welcome back party?"

Gray said, "Oi, if we..."

A councilor said, "Just as we thought. You 5 are a real piece of work. No wonder why you are the strongest team in history. We have a new mission for you."

Erza said, "We just got back from completing the 100 Year Quest. Can we get a break? We don't plan on having Magic Deficiency."

They said, "This mission is of utmost importance. The Danstroll Empire is planning to make a move on Ishgar. They have people searching for something known as 9th Hell. No one knows what it is or where it is located. But according to mythology, in the year A359 which is about 230000 years ago, 9th Hell was created and then buried somewhere on Ishgar so no one could find it. It has the power to destroy entire continents. You thought that the Alvarez Empire was strong after defeating Zeref Dragneel. Well, Danstroll Empire is a completely different story. And thanks to your efforts during the 100 Year Quest, we gained good relations with the Gondie Empire. So we have Alvarez and Gondie Empire's support during this mission. The best teams from each empire are coming to Ishgar to help out."

Natsu heard that and said, "So we're the only group from Ishgar joining in the fight?"

A councilor answered, "Nope. Actually, The Trimens will be joining you along with Team Lyon. The Twin Dragons of Sabertooth will also join you. But then again, there is still one more team joining the fray. From Atlas' Flame, Fire Club. Team Natsu, make sure that you don't let the Danstroll Empire get to 9th Hell. Humanity depends on you getting to it first."

Everyone heard that and then the councilors said, "The Allied Forces are back into formation. Good luck. You'll need it."

They walked out of the door and then appeared back in Fairy Tail and then said, "Huh? We're back inside Fairy Tail. What the hell is with that door?"

Laxus said, "It seems that was over faster than expected. What's going on?"

Wendy answered, "They want us to save Humanity."

Lucy asked, "Why can't we get a damn break?"

Erza said, "All Natsu's fault."

Natsu asked, "How the hell is it my fault? I didn't even say anything."

Gray said, "We were forced into this operation. And they'll be the end of all magic. People are going to die in this operation. No doubt about that."

Everyone heard that and then Natsu asked, "What is the Fire Club?"

Laxus answered, "They are the strongest group in Atlas' Flame. And that crazy ass magician is one of them."

Wendy heard that and then said, "We got a lot of work ahead of us."

Lucy said, "I have a bad feeling about this."

Natsu asked, "Where is the meeting place anyway? They never told us that, did they?"

Gajeel said, "I see."

The Rune Knight appeared and said, "The Magic Council forgot to tell you the location. They were in such a hurry after all. So the location is the same place as the last meeting. Alvarez and Gondie Empire's will meet you there along with Ishgar's team. This'll be the biggest alliance to date. The Danstroll Empire will decimate the world if they get their hands on 9th Hell. And you are the world's last hope. Do not fail or we all die."

Everyone in Fairy Tail heard that and Bisca Connell said, "Hold up, 9th Hell is that dangerous."

Alzack Connell said, "You are sending them to their deaths."

Laxus said, "Enough you two. No wonder why you 5 were angry when you got back. It makes logical sense now. Please leave soldier."

The Rune Knight bowed and then said, "Till next time."

He walked through the door and then Romeo Conbolt asked, "Are you guys really going?"

Erza answered, "We have no choice, do we now, Laxus?"

Laxus answered, "This Council is different from the previous one. So I'm afraid so. Good luck Team Natsu. We're counting on you."

Lucy asked, "Should we pick up Travis?"

Wendy said, "He'd love to come along."

Erza said, "Nope. We can't involve civilians in this war."

Natsu said, "Wait, where does Travis live anyway?"

Everyone heard that and then Gray said, "You gotta be kidding me. He's a member of the enemy."

Lucy heard that and then said, "What? That can't be. He helped us during our mission."

Erza said, "We were tricked by his greatness."

Natsu looked down and then said, "Let's just rest up and head to the meeting place tomorrow."

They walked away discouraged and then Mirajane said, "Damn, that's not a normal sight for Erza, Natsu, or Gray."

Laxus said, "Leave them be. A friend betrayed them."
