When the others were recovered from tenrou they were not among the rescued nobody knew what had happened to them. When they were first reported missing every one went searching for them, but now as the years passed by Natsu and Gajeel were the only ones who would search but, even they were losing hope . Little did they know that this afternoon everything would change …..
(Gajeel p.o.v)
'How am i gonna tell him' I thought, I had officially given up, I decided that this was the last time I was gonna go with salamander to search for the girls, but I knew he would be crushed. I just couldn't take it anymore, the false hope we would get from the, anonymous tips coming into the guild, going on these wild goose chases with natsu only to return empty handed .It was too much for me to take he knew we had to move on, let go of that last flicker of hope. They weren't coming back.
I decided to tell him tomorrow morning, I sat at the bar drinking sake and eating metal scraps thinking of how to brake the news to him 'till I caught a whiff of something It was some of the guild kids and blood but also something that smelt of bunny girl, shrimp and …..Zeref? I shot up as did the rest of the dragon slayers everyone else looked at us with questioning glances. I ignored them and started for the door until some of the guild kids came busting through the door battered and bloody, wounds all around their bodies as they collapsed in a heap in the middle of the guild .
It took about a second for everyone to register what had just happened but once they did it was chaos. Mira was hysterical as were Erza, lisanna, Cana and Juvia over their kids . Wendy rushed over and began healing along with came her apprentice a 12 year old girl named Rebekah whom she had found during a mission and brought back to the guild. She was very unique individual she could inflict what every type of emotion using her voice and when she was dancing deep purple flowers would grow to heal or hurt you whichever she chose . A few hours later all the kids were sleep in The Guilds infirmary sleeping away. As I look at all Their faces I realized this is what I missed . A chance to start a family because I wasn't man enough to tell shrimp before she disappeared and because now, I couldn't move on. I looked over and saw the kids Jasmine 15 the daughter of Erza and Jellal who was granted Parole by the magic council, Meredith 13 the daughter of Mira and Fried Carson 14 the son of Laxus and Cana,Damien12 the son of lisanna and bixlow and Glimmer 13 the daughter of Juvia and Gray everyone elses kids were younger and had not gone on any missions yet My thoughts were interrupted when Jaz sat up coughing, she drowsily opened her eyes "what the hell happened 'she questioned her voice immediately woke Erza of her shocked state as she rushed to her daughters side with Jellal " OH MY GOD ARE YOU ALRIGHT JAZ, I'M SO STUPID I SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET YOU GO ON THAT MISSION LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU" Erza and Jellal simultaneously cried out bawling ."Mom" jas nervously called out "who are Lucy and Levy ?"
The entire room went dead silent I clenched my fist to avoid screaming at the mere mention of their names."The kids who beat us up told us you guys are the only ones who can help them they kept on saying save our mother."she said quietly
