All Grown Up
Discalmer: I own no one and just to let you know I won't be going into the Grand Magic Games or the other arcs after Tenrou instead I'll just be making my own fun/romantic story. Also Kinana's magic is my own idea after knowing she use to be a snake and learning she was being taught take over.
Summery: What if instead of Wendy staying on Tenrou Doranbolt aka Mest Gryder couldn't stand to let the young girl who he dragged into his misson to infiltrate their s-class trials suffer such a fate as awaits them from Acnologia and sent her to the councils boat instead of leaving himself. What changes will await them after their seven year long rest.
Pairings: Nalu, Gale, Miraxus, Dorandy, Gruvia, Jerza and more.

Prologue:
Wendy couldn't believe what she had just been told from her s-class partner Mest Gryder. He wasn't a member of Fairy Tail his name wasn't even Mest Gryder it was Doranbolt and he was one of the Magic Council's Rune Knights. Even though she was hearing this for some reason it just didn't feel right it felt like this ' Doranbolt ' life he supposedly led was the lie. She couldn't explain it but he just felt like he belonged apart of her guild family. "I understand if you are upset with me Wendy I did deceive you but I had no choice it was an order. We thought Fairy Tail might be harboring Zeref. I never meant for this to happen for these dark wizards to attack or this beast known as Acnologia to show up." Wendy looked at him with tears in her eyes threatening to spill out at his words. This was just more proof to her that he belonged as part of her family. 'Can't he see it if he was really a council lap dog he wouldn't care about what his actions led to, he would feel no remorse.'She offered him a watery smile as she touched one small hand to his face just over his odd scar and stared into his sea foam green eyes. She always did love the color green. "It's alright Mest I forgive you and as far as I'm concerned you are just as much my nakama as the rest of Fairy Tail."
Doranbolt smiled back at her in awe. Any other person right now would have hated him for his falsehood he bet the other three dragon slayers on this island would have electrified, beat him with iron clubs, then burnt him to a crisp by his truth. He also didn't miss how she blatantly refused to call him anything more than his false name of Mest Gryder. If he was honest with himself he felt for some reason that name suited him better as well. "As glad as I am you forgive me Wendy you have to let me get you out of here. Your still so young you deserve to live and I can only save one it's either you or me."Wendy gave him a small pat to his cheek before dropping her hand from his face. "As much as I appreciate the offer Mest I can't abandon my family. They're all I have my Fairy Tail friends and Carla she's like my little sister. I promised her we'd be together always. You go on and save yourself Mest if you can. I'll understand."
Doranbolt watched as she walked away her flying cat Carla giving him a nod. Seems trying to save Wendy's life brought him up in her books. With a blink of an eye he found himself on the council's boat and immediately tried to beg his partner Lahar into saving the Fairy Tail members on the island. "I'm sorry Doranbolt but you know as well as I orders are orders. We've been ordered to leave them to their fate and only act if the dragon try's to attack us. I'm sorry my friend there is nothing we can do."No Doranbolt refused to except that they we're good people the council was wrong about them. Wendy she certainly didn't deserve this she was just a child a sweet amazing child. She deserved to grow up and make some man very happy if they could get past that cat of hers. He knew what he had to do and he knew it would make Lahar and Wendy very angry with him but if he let her die he wouldn't be able to live with himself. So just when the dragon roared it's last attack Doranbolt disappeared.
Wendy had no idea what happened one minute she and her family we're holding hands in a circle just as a gold light engulfed them to protect against Acnologia. She suddenly appeared on the deck of a ship surrounded by Rune Knights watching as her guild's sacred island sank into the sea her family with it. 'No what happened I was there! I was with them my hand in Carla's. I shouldn't be here.'Her tears flowed freely as she tried to figure out what happened before she was snatched up to be looked at by the same Rune Knight who had arrested Jellal after the whole stint with Nirvana. 'Lahar he's partners with... '
Lahar couldn' t believe it one minute his friend and comrade Doranbolt was standing right there then with a blink of his eye this child stood in his place. 'That fool giving up his life for a Fairy Tailwizard. I don't understand it my friend but I will not let your sacrifice be in vain.'
"Come girl our ship will take you back to Magnolia before we go to report this to the council. I'll make sure they realize none of this was your guild's fault."Wendy looked up at him trembling in shock and horror until another emotion started to take over. Anger she had told him she would stay with her family, her friends, Carla. He had taken that from her, he had given his life for her, she was now responsible for his death. Flinging back her head she screamed one name like it was a curse to the heavens. " Mest!"
