Mountains outside of Magnolia Town, Fiore - Year 791X


"Ow, ow, ow . . . " muttered Kyle as he rubbed his head from the rough landing. He was around sixteen years old. He had light blue hair and eyes, with a very lightly tanned complexion. He was also well muscled for his age due to all of the battles he was forced to fight for the sake of his people. He would pass for any normal human if it weren't for three things. The first is a pair of small curved horns that grew out of the top of his head. The second is the pair of dragon-like wings that stuck out from his back. The third is the fact that he has a reptilian tail.

He was better known as the Nova Warrior, Kaiser, in the Maple World and his home world of Grandis. He had volunteered as one of Edea's subjects in the creation of a new interdimensional portal under the reasoning that as arguably his race's toughest warrior, he'd be able to make it back in one piece. Unfortunately, Edea had lost control of the experiment and the coordinates for his destination became random, thus his ending up in this unknown land.

"Where am I?" he thought aloud as he surveyed his surroundings. He had landed in the middle of a lush green forest, overlooking a sparkling lake of deep blue. He looked at the ground before glancing at the sky and the ground, seeing that they were the same colors as the lake and forest respectively.

"Well this place seems friendly enough." Kyle said as he began looking for signs of a town. He walked for an hour or two before reaching a cliff. As he gazed out over it he saw a large and lively looking town filled with tall buildings built from white and gray stone brick with roofs of every possible color. A number of rivers the same azure color as the lake he landed near ran through the town. The whole town was a sight to see, but two buildings stuck out in particular. The first was a massive cathedral in the town's center with two towers adorned with decorative windows and gothic adornments. The second was an equally massive building on the edge of town. It looked like a castle with its roofs colored crimson and what appeared to be a golden plaque over the entrance. It was too far away to read, but it clearly showed that whoever owned the building had great influence.

"I guess I'll ask the people around town about where I am." he said as he started towards the town. He stopped as he remembered he was in his full armor, a crimson plate mail covered in golden highlights which made it resemble dragon scales. His pointed helm caused his horns to grow through the slots, making him seem rather imposing. He was armed with his massive zweihander Kaiserium which was adorned in similar decorations. Realizing that he'd probably scare the locals in his current outfit, he dispelled his armor and sword in a small burst of flame, leaving him in his comfortable burgundy casual wear with brown trousers and shoes. He took an old hat from his backpack made by Selene, a kindly elderly lady he often helped out in his spare time, and wore it to hide his horns. By tucking his wings and tail into his shirt and trousers he completed his disguise before starting back down the mountain towards the town.


Streets of Magnolia Town


"Wow, Pantheon is nothing like this town." Kyle thought in awe as he walked through the town. The streets were crowded with people, all cheerfully chattering and sharing the news of the day. Kyle was glad that they spoke the same language as him, otherwise communicating would have been awkward.

"Get your silver Celestial Spirit Keys right here. Only twenty thousand Jewels for the Key of Canis Minor!" yelled an older looking bald man.

"Hey mister, I want to ask you something." said Kyle to the merchant.

"Ah what will it be lad. Are you interested in these Celestial Spirit Keys that I have in stock?"

"Actually, no, but I have to ask you a few questions."

"About my merchandise perhaps?" said the merchant, clearly trying to make a sale.

"Sorry, but I'm kind of lost. You see I've traveled from far away but I forgot to bring a map. Could you tell me where I am?" Kyle was rather proud of his use of words. He technically hadn't lied, but still asked a question that would get him his answer without revealing his origins. Edea might have praised him.

"Where have you been, living under a rock boy? Well I'll tell you. We're in Magnolia Town on the continent of Fiore, a land full of people with the gift of Magic."

"Gift of magic? You mean there are people without it?" Kyle wasn't very studious... or smart, but he knew that where he came from there were thousands if not millions of magicians or at least people who could use some kind of magic. Even he could use a little of it.

"Of course not! It is plentiful, but in some places only ten percent of people have magic in this world you know!"

"Huh, really?"

"Geez, you must have come from really far out if you never learned about any of this."

"You have no idea..." Kyle said, scratching his head.

"Tell you what, I'll tell you everything you need to know as long as you recommend people to buy from my shop."

"That sounds fair."

And so the man told Kyle all about Fiore. Kyle learned that despite the fact that only a fraction of people could actually use magic, it was a part of everyone's daily lives in the form of tools, appliances, and other things. Mages gathered in guilds lead by Guild Masters who were in turn governed by the Magic Council. Guilds were basically large clubs where Mages could hang out, make friends, and take jobs to earn money. Overall, Magnolia Town and by extension Fiore seemed like a really nice place, especially compared to war-scarred Helisium.

"Thanks for everything, mister, I'll make sure that people learn about your shop!"

"Not a problem kid, just make sure you buy something next time!"

Kyle continued to run through the town, taking in the sights, before coming to a realization. How was he going to get home? He thought to himself for a moment before saying,

"It's probably not a problem. Edea's really smart (and probably old, but she'd vaporize me if I said that) she'll find me in no time." as he walked off.


Meanwhile back at Pantheon...


Edea slammed her fist on the table in anger. "It'll take weeks, months, or maybe even years to get him back! Damn it, how could the experiment end in failure like that!"

"Now Edea, getting riled up is not the solution." said Fenelle, the Head Priestess.

"She's right Edea," agreed the laid-back priest Kylan, "if we just think this through we'll retrieve Kaiser without a problem."

"With all due respect to Cartalion and Piston we're defenseless without Kaiser. We won't survive a full onslaught from Magnus's remaining army without him!"

"Then we'll have to ask for some help from the Maple Warriors again." calmly replied Fenelle.

"We also have the lovely Angelic Buster to help us too." said Kylan pointed out while remaining relaxed.

"They have their own problems, we can't expect them to just come to our aid every time we need it! There's also the issue where we don't know if Kaiser even survived the transport! It was unstable and incredibly dangerous!"

"That's enough!" boomed Beldar, the Head Priest, "Squabbling will get us nowhere. News of these events is to remain classified. We can't have the people in a panic because their hero is missing."

The group began to return to work silently, hoping that they'd be able to get their hero back before something terrible happened.

"Stay safe, Kyle." thought Fenelle as she continued her research.


In front of the Second Fairy Tail Building


It wasn't long until Kyle remembered that he had no usable money (they used Jewels not Mesos) and that he was really hungry. He hoped that if he joined a guild and earned some money, he'd be able to buy something to eat. The problem was, the immense building he saw in the distance was apparently empty, having belonged to a guild named Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail was apparently Fiore's top guild until about seven years ago, when all of its ace members, including the guild master, vanished on a trip. It then became a laughing stock as they struggled to get along, being forced to move out into a run down old tavern on a hill quite a ways from the city. Kyle now stood in front of that old tavern.

"Well, here goes nothing." He shoved open the doors and found the building rather empty, going against Fairy Tail's reputation. There were only a small handful of people inside, including a boy wearing a red vest, a blue haired old man, and an equally old brown haired man smoking a pipe by a small bar.

"Go to hell Twilight Ogre!" he heard the blue haired man say, "Haven't you done enough already?" "Purple Rain!" he yelled, shooting a salvo of purple orbs of fire at Kyle.

"Whoa!" Kyle was taken by surprise and narrowly dodged the barrage of flames by jumping over them in time.

"Wait a second, I'm not from this Twilight Ogre guild!" he said waving his hands as a sign of being peaceful.

"Really? Then why are you here kid?" said the brown haired man taking a smoke from his pipe, "You're here to mock us aren't you?"

"Why would I do that?"

"Why else? We went from being a big name to the scrappy in as little as seven years!"

"Actually, I kind of wanted to join the guild. I need to take some jobs because I don't have any money."

Kyle's stomach grumbled noisily. "I'm also really hungry." he said leaning over at his hunger pangs with an uncomfortable look on his face.

The blue haired man paused, stunned, before laughing, "Why didn't you just say so kid! We're rather short on members so everyone is welcome." he said leading Kyle to the bar. "Hey Reedus, get this kid something to eat!"

A thin looking man with tightly curled orange hair wearing a black vest came out with a small meal of meat and potatoes. Kyle salivated at the dish, having not eaten anything in hours. He immediately dug in, despite the fact that it wasn't the greatest thing in the world, any kind of food was welcome at this point.

"Sorry about the food kid. It's all we have. As you can see we're not exactly getting jobs on a regular basis here."

"Don't worry. I've lived off army rations, this is great by comparison. The name's Kyle. Nice to meet you!"

"Army rations huh, you've had it rough then kid. The name's Macao, I'm serving as the fourth guild master of Fairy Tail. The man over here is Wakaba, he's my best friend and adviser. The couple over there are Bisca and Alzack. The dancing guy is Vijeeter. The fat guy is Droy, and the man sitting next to him Jet. The guys by the request board are Nab and Warren. The girl with glasses is Laki, and here is our waitress Kinana." He paused as he looked over at a sad boy reading a magazine in the corner, "That's my son Romeo," Macao sighed, "he was... hit hard when the team went missing those seven years ago."

"We're losing guild members again, geez." said a man with auburn hair and a goatee as he walked in the door.

"That's Max. As you can see we aren't that popular at the moment. Hey everyone! Great news! We have a new guild member!"

Everyone in the room turned around in shock. "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Are you serious?"

"Who would want to join us now?"

"Are you sure he isn't pulling our chain?"

"My name is Kyle, I heard about how famous you guys are, so I hope to work with you for a while." as he flashed a warm smile.

Most of them looked at him and made a small grin before sighing and going back to whatever theey were doing. Kyle, unfazed, went to look at the request board for any of the new jobs that he'd be able to do.

He was mostly absorbed with trying to pick a job until he heard Droy yell, "Levy's not coming home alright!" Everyone turned around and looked at him with pained looks on their faces.

"Was Levy part of the team that went missing seven years ago?" asked Kyle with innocent curiosity.

"Yes, no one here wasn't hurt by their disappearance. Members here are more than just friends, they're family." said the fourth guild master. "Droy and Jet were Levy's childhood friends. She was a kind, bubbly girl with a love for reading. Droy was hit particularly hard, and as you can see, started eating too much afterward."

"I keep telling you I'm trying to raise my magic power!"

Macao shook his head, "We've been losing them left and right since then. This is all we have left."

Kyle looked away, feeling sorry for asking. He then tried to perk things up, "Well we have to start somewhere right? To honor their memory we've got to build everything back up from square one!" remembering how hard his friends and neighbors are working tirelessly to restore Helisium to its former glory.

"Can it kid!" said Droy bitterly, "If it were that easy we've had done it years ago!"

"Well sitting around here doing nothing isn't exactly helping either!"

"That's enough you two." said Wakaba, "Hate to say it, but Droy has a point. We lack the manpower to build up funds again. Unfortunately, we're going to be shut down at the rate we're going."

"Still..." said Kyle sadly. The other members realized he was empathizing with him and smiled sadly at his resolve to make a change.

"Well, well" said a rough voice as a rowdy looking group wielding weaponry walked in, "as always this place is dead in the afternoon. This is what I hate about pissant guilds!" The hunched over man laughed in a high pitched voice while the blond haired one said, "You have no spirit!"

Kyle immediately glared at the group. The jerks reminding him of those priests loyal to Magnus who attacked him, Tear, and Velderoth.

"Thibault!" scorned Macao, "I told you to stay away from here!"

"Hey, hey," replied Thibault, "is that any way to talk to Magnolia's number one guild, Twilight Ogre?"

"So they're the people that Macao mistook me for." thought Kyle.

Everyone gathered around, tensed, ready for a fight.

"You may have been the strongest guild in Fiore, but that era is over. Between this ramshackle tavern and Twilight Ogre, the wizard guild of the new age, one glance is all it takes to tell which is the more useful to the development of Magnolia." gloated Thibault.

"Acting big just because you've got a big guild." commented Max.

"That's right, we have soul!" said Warren.

"Soul doesn't put food on the table." said Thibault with a smirk.

"What'd you come here for, Thibault!"

"This month's money!" Thibault replied with a wide, sadistic smile.

"You didn't pay them yet Macao!" asked Wakaba.

"Call me Master damn it!" said Macao.

"You guys are late repaying your debt."

"We didn't get any decent jobs this month!"

"I'll pay you double next month! So just be patient!"

"Whoa, whoa. Who was it that saved this beat up tavern when it was on the brink of collapse!" said the hunched over one.

"We took on your debt for you, remember?" said the one with a mohawk, his head turned.

"And if we knew how ridiculously how the interest was going to be, we would have never turned to you..."Jet retorted.

"Did you say something asswipe?" said the blonde one.

"Wait, Jet!" ordered Macao

"But..."

"Wait 'til next month, and I promise to pay!"

Thibault's grin only grew wider as he kicked Macao in the face, sending him across the room and into the bar.

"Macao!" said Wakaba. "Master!" said Laki.

"Look he flew across the room!" sneered the hunched over goon.

"He did a first rate job of flyin' backwards!" Thibault remarked as his group laughed.

"Bastards!" said Jet.

"You want to go!" replied Thibault.

"Don't do anything!" yelled Macao as he tried to get up off the floor.

"You heard the man. Suck it up!" said Wakaba through gritted teeth.

The group began trashing the place haphazardly. "Pathetic!" "Is this the legendary Fairy Tail?" "Way lame!" they chanted. But immediately stopped and recoiled as they felt a massive killing intent being direct towards them. "It can't be them, could it?" thought Thibault, thinking of the missing Fairy Tail members. He and his posse looked around, eyeing Kyle glaring at them. They sighed in relief. "Man I thought you were the Tenrou Island team for a second."

"Oi," said Kyle, wearing an absolutely murderous expression on his face, "If you want to pick a fight. Do it with me."

The ruffians laughed in response, "New meat huh? Is this your best, Fairy Tail? A kid?"

"What are you doing Kyle?" yelled Macao.

"You guys put your heart and soul into this guild, it's time I do my part."

Kyle gripped the air with his right hand before a large flame emerged for a split second, fading to reveal Kaiserium in his palm.

"Requip magic?" thought Laki, trying to figure out the newcomer's magic.

"You really plan on taking us kid?" said Thibault with a sneer.

"I can, and will." replied Kyle, all too serious with his tone.

"Would you like a demonstration?" If these guys thought they could intimidate him, they had no idea how wrong they were. A couple of pieces of trash like him are just nuisances compared to the armies of monsters he faced, and nothing compared to facing Velderoth and Magnus.

"Please kid, what could you possibly-" said Thibault before he was cut off by Kyle, Kaiserium's edge already at the ruffian's neck.

"I push this in one inch further and you'll be gasping for air, struggling to breathe as your throat fills with blood. You'll then collapse on the floor, bleeding out oh so slowly. Just like the situation you put this guild, my guild in. Now you bastards better leave before I make you leave as a pile of corpses." ordered Kyle.

The group quickly fled for their lives, screaming that they'd get Fairy Tail next time. Kyle relaxed and dispelled Kaiserium the same way he had called it. The rest of Fairy Tail could only stare blankly at their new member. He was happy, easy-going, and incredibly friendly young man that spoke with warmth in his voice one second, yet none could forget the cold-blooded steel in his voice they heard in the next. On top of that, he sent the mages scurrying with their tails between their legs in a split second.

"Phew, sorry you had to see that guys." said Kyle, returning to his friendly persona, "I really hate it when I see people picking on my friends."

"How did you..." sputtered Jet, the high speed specialist, "I barely saw you move! It was just a red blur and you were already behind him!"

"I've... had a lot of training." Truth be told he had used his Air Lift ability with his wings to quickly close the distance, not that anyone needed to know that.

"Looks like we've got a new super rookie!" remarked Wakaba with a smile.

"Can you guys be serious for a moment!" yelled Macao. "You heard the bastards, they'd be back for revenge. Kyle is good, but I doubt he'd be able to save all of our hides!"

"That's why we're here of course!" said Max, "I may not look like it but I've been working pretty hard when it comes to my magic!"

Everyone else cheerily agreed in response, their drive restored by their new recruit. That is, everyone except for Romeo, who was angry at the sudden change in tone, "What's wrong with all of you! Even with the new guy here we still can't take on Twilight Ogre!" He stormed off to his room, acting as depressed as ever.

Macao's mood dropped to an all time low at his son's pessimistic demeanor. The boy that used to always think for the best could now see nothing but the worst possible outcome. While Kyle had stopped the group from doing too much damage, there was still a lot to survey and pay for in the run down tavern they called a guild building. "I feel as though my heart is going to break." he said, tears beginning to stream down his face. "Romeo hasn't smiled even once these past seven years." Everyone began to look downtrodden at their master's plight.

Their thoughts were interrupted when they heard a loud rumbling from outside.

"What is that?" asked Laki.

"What's that noise?" asked Droy.

"Has Ogre come back to harass us already?"

They rushed outside to see an enormous airship with blue fins and an entire sail for a rudder. An enormous sail in the center, the sides of the ship were also outlined in blue. Decorating the bow were a winged crest decorated with gold and a blue jewel. However, what really stood out was the light blue figure of a pegasus, making it clear to all who the ship belonged to.

"Blue Pegasus' Cristina Version 2!"

"No good, No... A depressing parfum is not good!" said a smooth voice from atop the ship.

Suddenly a diminutive man with shaggy orange hair wearing a white suit dove from the ship yelling, "Twinkle!" before landing face first into the ground, "Men!"

"He fell!" remarked everyone, shocked at the spectacle.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" said the man posing with his fingers while lying on the ground, "Your Ichiya has arrived!" as several bumps grew from his head, no doubt from the fall.

"What are you-" began Macao before being interrupted by a teenage sounding voice from above.

"Ichiya-sama, I know how you fell, but calm down a little." said the middle of the three attractive men descending from the sky, "After all, I can use Air Magic."

"Hibiki! Ren!" said Max in surprise.

"Macao-san, have you aged again?"

"It's Blue Pegasus! They're so cool!"

"What in the world are they here for?"

The three men crowded around Laki, "Laki-san, you're as beautiful as ever." "You look too good in glasses." "Can I call you onee-chan?"

"Um..." said Laki, confused by the situation.

"Hey if you want to pick up a girl, do it elsewhere!"

They repeated their routine with Kinana, who was equally bemused at the trio.

"What the hell did you come here for!"

"Enough everyone, we didn't come here to have fun." said Ichiya has he dusted himself off.

"Pardon us!" the trio said as they bowed in unison.

"Hey Ichiya! What are you doing here?" asked Wakaba.

"Men!" and the trio returned to their positions behind Ichiya, "I never forget the parfum of friendship of those I've fought alongside."

"It was worth using Archive's information analysis and Christina's mobility to investigate Fiore's ethernano level." said Hibiki.

Macao and Wakaba looked stunned as Ichiya delivered the news, "Tenrou Island... still exists!"

Everyone was shocked to the point of speechlessness except for Kyle, who simply looked bemused at the situation before asking, "What's Tenrou Island again?" Several people face faulted.


The Sea Off the Coast of Port Hargeon


Kyle gazed out over the brilliantly shining sea before him from the stern of the ship. He wondered if Tenrou Island really could have survived. He remembered the conversation he had with the others earlier.


"Why who is this?" asked Ichiya pointing at Kyle.

"I'm Kyle, I just joined today."

"He's pretty amazing," noted Wakaba, "he chased off an entire group of Twilight Ogre's members by himself."

"Is that so? Well you've picked an excellent band of friends to join, I hope to see the parfum of your strength grow." he posed, "Men!" his students following in tandem.

"I kind of wanted to ask. What is Tenrou Island and what happened?"

"Allow me to enlighten you then. Seven years ago, Fairy Tail was having its S-Class Promotion Trial at the island. However, they encountered a dark guild, a group of mages who use their power nefariously, named Grimoire Heart. However, even though Fairy Tail triumphed in the end, the black dragon Acnologia came. He seemingly annihilated the island and everyone on it with a single attack."

"So that's what happened," said Kyle, doing his best to run the information through his mind, "but wait you said that Tenrou Island still exists."

"That's the mystery young man, we have no idea how they might have survived. They say that Acnologia's breath can destroy an entire country. However, the ethernano, the particles of magic, of Tenrou Island still exist, therefore it must also still exist."

"A whole country... is there any kind of magic that could protect them from such an attack?"

"None that we know of, even with Hibiki-san's Archive magic we were unable to find such a thing."


"Is there really nothing that could have saved them?" thought Kyle. While he never met them, but he already ached for their return as he saw the faces of his new guild mates who remained when their friends were lost.

They've tried every possible means of searching for the island

"Hey, are you sure we shouldn't have brought Romeo along?" asked Bisca.

"Maybe we should have forced him." noted her husband.

"There's no guarantee that they're still alive." replied Max.

"Yeah right? No need to get him excited prematurely." said the realist Warren as he gazed over at Jet and Droy.

"We get to see Levy! We get to see Levy!" they chanted.

"The poster boys for getting excited prematurely..." said Bisca with a sigh.

"I know how they feel but..." Alzack agreed.

"You're annoying!" scolded Warren, "We haven't had any contact for seven years. Keep the worst case scenario in mind too."

"R-right." said Jet.

"Sorry." added Droy, still munching on snacks.

"Huh?"

"What is it, Bisca?"

"The wind has stopped." In fact, their ship had come to a complete stop as well.

"Now that you mention it it's strangely quiet."

"There aren't any birds." noted Jet.

"What's happening?" asked Droy.

They then saw a small, human shaped silhouette over the horizon.

"What's that?"

"A person?"

"I don't believe it."

"She's over the ocean!"

"Hey! Look closely at her!" yelled Bisca.

"S-She's standing!"

"Who is it?"

Kyle rushed to the bow of the ship to get a better look. It eventually became apparent that it was a young blonde girl in a small white dress with feather shaped head ornaments. Her eyes were closed, and her expression serene. As she opened her eyes, revealing deep green irises, she raised her to her sides. Pillars of blinding light erupted from the water that stretched into the sky as the calm waters suddenly became erratic and full of large waves.

"What's going on?" asked Kyle as he viewed the spectacle. Many magicians back home were capable of elaborate displays of magic, but he didn't know many that could pull off something like this.

The eyes of the remaining members of Fairy Tail widened as a golden dome bearing their symbol and emblazoned with the image of magical wings rose from the ocean. However, it was the sillhouette inside that was the real shocker.

"Al, that's..." said a startled Bisca.

"Y-yeah," said an equally startled Alzack.

"It's Tenrou Island!" cried Max and Warren.

"That's Tenrou Island?" said Kyle, "But you guys said it was destroyed!"

As he said those words the dome receded, revealing the island to be almost perfectly intact. The young girl then turned back towards the island and began advancing towards it.

"That girl is headed for Tenrou Island!" said Max and Warren, "after her!" All of the members of Fairy Tail leaped off the ship in search of the mysterious girl and their missing teammates.


On Tenrou Island


The girl swiftly floated through the rocky terrain of the island, outpacing most of the Fairy Tail members.

"Hey! Wait!" cried the members of Fairy Tail as they struggled to keep up.

"Who is that girl?" Bisca wondered aloud.

"I don't know, but she did show us where Tenrou Island is." replied her husband. "Maybe she'll lead us to everyone."

"G-Good point." agreed Droy.

"Don't lose sight of her!"

"Jet!"

"On it!" he replied as he began running at a tremendous speed to catch up to the mysterious girl.

"Let me help too!" said Kyle as he threw out his Nova Grapple, accelerated by his Air Lift Skill he rapidly shot past his teammates alongside Jet.

However, the pair lost sight of the girl as they approached the forest.

"Strange. Where did she go?" wondered Jet.

"Yeah, she couldn't have just vanished." said Kyle.

Jet then came to a sudden halt, prompting Kyle to do the same. "Why'd you stop?" asked Kyle.

"Jet! What is it!" asked the other members of Fairy Tail as they caught up.

"What are you staring at?" asked Kyle as he looked in the same direction as Jet. He surveyed the shattered rock formations and debris before noticing a mess of pink, unruly hair and a hand sticking out of it. "Hey is that one of the guild members who went missing?"

Everyone looked on in shock.

"Natsu?"


Second Fairy Tail Building


"Are you sure you're alright with not going to Tenrou Island?" the fourth master of Fairy Tail asked his son as Laki looked on.

Romeo look as uninterested as ever as he said, "Even if they did find Tenrou Island, who knows if anyone is still alive." his gaze not wavering from the book he was reading.

"You can't be like that! You've got to have faith!" said Macao sadly.

"We haven't heard from them in seven years." replied Romeo as he continued his pessimistic behavior.

Macao sighed again before hearing a disgustingly familiar voice, "Oh man, the place looks even more deserted today! Seems more like a club and less like a guild now. Oh good, the brat with the sword isn't here either."

"What are you doing here Thibault! The payment isn't until next month!"

"Yeah, about that. Our master says no deal." replied Thibault with his trademark sadistic grin. "The master insists it's a problem if you don't pay on schedule."

"Screw you." said Romeo as he rose from his seat with a determined look on his face.

"Stop, Romeo!"

Romeo continued, ignoring his father, "We ain't payin' you anything."

"What's with the attitude, brat?" said Thibault, his grin still plastered on his ugly mug.

"You can boss Dad and the others around because they are cowards." Romeo said as he walked towards the group, a purple magic sigil was forming above his right hand . "But I'll fight! I won't let Fairy Tail's name be disgraced!"

"Romeo!" cried Macao. "That idiot!" muttered Wakaba.

Romeo was surprised as the magic sigil in his hand vanished.

"The name is already disgraced!" yelled Thibault as he drew his mace, prepared to strike Romeo.

"Stop!" yelled Macao.

"You'll never be better than us, for as long as you live!" he began to swing.

Romeo braced himself for the blow, but it never came.

Thibault was sent flying as someone had kicked him in the back, letting out a pathetic sound before hitting the wall face first as he fell on the floor unconcious.

Macao's and Romeo's faces were slack jawed as they looked upon who it was.

"Who the hell!" cried the rest of Thibault's posse as they turned around, only to get struck with freezing ice, pounded with hard iron, sliced by a silver sword, and smashed by a giant fist, incapacitating them all instantly.

(Cue Fairy Tail – Main Theme here)

"Heh heh," said a certain pink haired teenager, "We're home!" he said happily with a happy smile. Revealing the rest of the missing Fairy Tail members.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" added a blue cat.

"What's with this tiny guild building." muttered Natsu as he looked around the place.

"Y-y-You guys!" was the only phrase Macao could sputter at the entrance of his old guild mates.

"No way!" yelled Wakaba.

"So young!" said Laki.

"You guys haven't changed at all in seven years!" cried Nab through tears of joy.

"What's going on here!" said Vijeeter.

"Uh well..."


Tenrou Island a few hours ago...


"Hey Natsu, pull yourself together!" yelled Jet.

"Wake up you jerk!" said Max.

"Shut up! You're annoying!" yelled Natsu as he got up with a jolt, only to be tackled by Jet, Droy, Max, and Warren.

"Natsu!" they cried.

"What the heck is going on?" he asked, "What are you guys doing here?" He paused for a nanosecond, "Why do you guys look older?"

"Yep, same as ever." they said happily.

"Droy why are you so fat!"

Bisca and Alzack observed the touching scene before hearing a moaning from behind them.

"Is it morning already?" said Happy sleepily as he rubbed his eyes "Is there any fish for me?".

"Happy!" the couple cried with tears in their eyes.

"Hold on sec!" said Natsu in his usual, loud voice. "we were just hit by Acnologia's attack, and then.. uh..." as he tried to remember the details. "Where are the others?"

"Over here." said a young, feminine voice. Everyone looked up to see the mysterious girl once again.

"Who are you?" asked Happy and Natsu at the same time.

"My name is Mavis, Fairy Tail's first master, Mavis Vermillion." she calmly replied.

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" cried everyone else.

She spun on her heel, leading the now older members of Fairy Tail to their lost friends.

"When it happened," she began as she floated around, "I converted everyone's bonds and mutual trust into magic power. Their feelings activated Fairy Sphere, one of the Three Great Fairy Spells. The absolute defense spell that protects the guild from all manners of evil. But everyone was frozen in time, and it took seven years for the seal to lift."

"My word, so we were saved by the founding master." remarked a short old man, which Kyle later learned to be Makarov, Fairy Tail's master before Macao.

"No, I am incorporeal." she said as she began to fade into golden particles, "Converting your power took everything I had. Unwavering conviction and powerful bonds can produce miracles."

She smiled beautifully as she gave her last statement, "You've built a wonderful guild, Third Master!"


Fairy Tail, Present Time


"So that's what happened." concluded Makarov.

Romeo shook out of shock of what happened, unable to make words leave his throat.

Natsu turned and saw him, "You're really grown Romeo!" as he let out another smile.

Romeo began to cry before smiling, "Welcome back Natsu onii-chan."

Everyone laughed and grew merry as they tried to catch up with their old friends.

Kyle could only watch silently and smile from the corner, not wanting to interrupt his friends' reunion. "So this is what the guild was like before I came here." he thought.

"Hey, who is this?" said Natsu as he noticed Kyle.

"Yes, I've been meaning to ask, who is that boy in the corner with the hat?" added Erza.

"Oh, him! That's Kyle, our newest member! He's pretty strong. He chased off all five of those goons you beat up by himself." said Wakaba with a grin.

"Really? Then fight me!" said Natsu as he began to charge towards Kyle, only to stop short as he remembered his injuries and clutched them in pain.

"Geez Natsu," said Grey, "use your head for a second and remember that you're injured before you run off for another fight!"

"Shut it droopy eyes! I obviously remember them now!" Natsu replied angrily. "Anyway, why are you standing over there anyway? Come and join in."

"Really? I didn't want to interrupt you guys."

"What are you talking about, you're a member of the guild now!" Natsu began to drag Kyle over to where everyone else was. "Say, where's your guild mark?"

"Guild mark?" Come to think of it, he hadn't gotten one, or even know what one was.

"Are you kidding me! You joined but no one gave you your guild mark! Hey, someone get the stamp!"

Reedus got up from his seat and went over to a drawer. Opening it, he found the old guild stamp, now gathering dust from disuse. "We haven't used this in forever, oui!" he said happily.

"Where do you want it?"

"My right hand." responded Kyle quickly.

A quick stamp and it was done, a red Fairy Tail symbol now appeared on the back Kyle's hand.

"Alright, let's party everyone to celebrate the return of our friends and the induction of our new one!"

Everyone cheered in agreement as they once again began to celebrate the many things that happened that day.


Well this is my second fanfiction everyone. I got the idea spontaneously today after reading today's new Fairy Tail chapter and training my Kaiser in Maplestory to level 150. I wasn't sure about how to change the dialogue with Kyle (Kaiser's) presence, so I ended up pulling a lot of it from the anime. I pretty much wrote this piece because I thought it would be interesting to see a dragon like character be placed in a guild with three dragon slayers. Of course, they don't know that yet. I was planning on making this a oneshot, but if you like this please review and favorite this story so I know if I should try to continue. Thanks for reading!
