I do not own the rights Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.

I have abandoned all my other stories following an insignificant response (My heartiest thanks to the golden 2 who responded). This is about a possible stream of the story's flow had some things gone differently. It's immediately after Zeref kills Zancrow and about the time when Fairy Tail team strikes Grimoire Heart's Ship. Meredy will be the MC
…..
Meredy struggled to get back on her feet after Lord Zeref's spell had cleansed the forest clearing of all life. Zancrow….. She reminded herself
Her training under Master Hades had ingrained in her quite a few habits, one of which was to scan the surroundings, especially for injured members of Grimoire Heart.
The ground which she was standing had lost all of its vegetation, and laying near her was the lifeless body of the Fire Godslayer , Zancrow. Even though Lord Zeref had banished him from the world of the living in a fit of rage, his dead eyes still reminded of his sneering confession….
…No, it couldn't be, Ultear was the closest thing she had to a mother, after that incident. No, he must have been lying. Yes, that must be it.
She was trembling with shock, fear and anger, each of these emotions trying to dominate her, when she noticed the blue haired wizard from Fairy Tail, with her ridiculous obsession with that monster Gray Fullbuster. Still, she felt a bit of warmth flooded her heart. Juvia Locksar had told her to live for her friends and seeing that Lord Zeref had disappeared, she decided to do just that.
She trudged forward onto what she assumed was the path to the beach, her sense of direction definitely impaired by the torrent of conflicting emotions within her. She reminded herself that Grimoire Heart was the closest thing she had to family right now and regardless of Zancrow's insinuations, Master Hades was still her master.
….
Purehito, lay broken at the feet of the spirited mages from Fairy Tail. Now as if to add insult to injury Makarov Dreyar was lecturing him in the same way he used to in the old days.
Natsu Dragneel was hungry, as usual." Gramps, I suppose we could check out Grimoire Hearts food storage for some chow right." His statement was not a suggestion, but an invitation
Carla put out one of her trademark barbs" Ah, yes, I suppose its time for the bottomless pit to start gorging again".
Wendy Marvell advised her nonchalant Exceed "That wasn't very polite Carla".
Erza Scarlet almost smiled at their comrades bickering, while searching for food. Most of them, including Master Makarov were badly hurt, but, things seemed to getting back to normal .Still, she felt like assessing the arrival of Zeref as well as the proposal to reinstate Laxus to the Guild couldn't be put off much longer.
"Master, I'd like to speak to you with rest of the current S Class Mages in private. ".
Master Makarov nodded his assent; he had been expecting Erza to do something of this sort. As both Mirajane Strauss and Gildarts Clive, came over, he marked the red haired wizard as a potential Guildmaster in the future.
….
This temporary calm was disrupted by the appearance of the pink haired Sensory Link wizard on the beach. Natsu was the first one to notice her.
"Hey, I guess we found a member of the Salamander fan club", genuinely pleased.
Lucy Heartfilia" No girl would join your fan club, you idiot. Who is she and what is she doing on Tenrou Island". As she came closer her suspicion grew greater
A teenage girl maybe 13 or 14, just older that Wendy ,was coming towards, them dressed in a weird suit with, angel wings covering , what appeared to be earmuffs. What worried Lucy was the sword she had in her hands. It was like one of the weapons, those goons of Grimoire Heart carried.
It was only then that Erza noticed her. "It seems that Grimoire Heart hasn't been beaten yet, that's one of their Seven Kin , be careful".
Bixlow laughed out, "That little girl is supposed to be a threat, I cant believe you said that Erza."
Gildarts shot a look at him, and then said gruffly, "Don't underestimate children. Lisanna, Bixlow, Fried and Levy, protect Master and the wounded. It would be best if Natsu, Laxus and Erza stay out of it 'cause they taken quite a good beating. I will deal with this wannabe juvenile delinquent".
Even Natsu followed his orders to a fault. Whether he did that was because he was afraid of Gildarts or because he was starving, is a question that will be answered on another day.
Meredy was in shock after seeing her unbeatable master beaten at the hands of those Fairies. But as soon as she regained her calm, she went about picking a sword probably dropped by one of Grimoire Heart's cowardly footsoldiers. She had just recovred from her fight with Juvia and Titania and didn't want to use up her magic power just yet. Besides, she was quite good with bladed weapons.
Just as she averted her eyes from her newfound weapon, she noticed Priority NO.3 moving toward her. Well, she quickened her pace to stop at the banked beach just fifty meters away from No 3.
Gildarts,in his customary gruff voice growled." Kid you got a lot of spunk, coming here after your Guild's
been beat black and blue. Stop right there and drop that sword and we can talk like civilized beings. I know you beat Juvia but tryin' to beat me 's a whole different kind of proposition."
Meredy, smiled "I've no interest , in beating you Priority No. 3 , I just want to kill Grey Fullbuster and retrieve my master, that is all."
Gildarts clenched his fists "Kid, I don't wanna hurt ya, but nobody gets away with threatening a Fairy's life."
Meredy replied cooly "Your guild got away with pummeling my master, so I suppose can get away with executing a traitor who killed his teacher".
Gildarts lunged forward " I have hard time believing that".
Meredy, dodged his blow and replied with venom "The truth isn't always easy to believe". She brought her blade down in arc over her opponents' torso
