Whoa, didn't see this coming did you guys? Ehehe. Well, the reason this story is out at all is because I get bored on Sundays. Even though it isn't Sunday…

Yeah that wasn't an awkward transition or anything. I was rereading the newest Fairy Tail and then it struck me, Raven Tail. Anyways this is about the Grand Magic Fight Battle. I kind of wanted to go back to the Fairy Tail feel after slowly drifting away from Fairy Tail elements besides magic and guilds. This story takes place before SPCSYN

So, we will have some new villains and old friends returning. I probably will only be updating this when I get bored because Dragon Myth was added to the update calendar. I also wanted to write really badly for some reason. Anyways, here we go.

X791, Fiore

The news was truly a shock. "Fairy Tail aces return after 7 year absence". That story made headlines all over the world and caught the interests of several people. Natsu and the others had returned from 7 years of being trapped on an underwater island. Of course, with big news like that, people are bound to notice. And people say that there is no such thing as bad publicity….

Raven Tail, ?

"Finally…" Ivan Dreyar said evilly as the paper doll he had been holding in his fist fluttered to the ground. "I can repay Makarov for those long 7 years. The waiting is over my children! We can finally paint these fairies black!"

The men and women behind him grinned and sneered with evil glee as they awaited orders from Ivan. Ivan studied the paper doll that had dropped to the ground. He finally smashed his boot into the ground and he looked up slowly.

"You know, the legend asks if fairies actually have tails. I don't know if they do but I can guarantee that Ravens have tails…"

Goliath

The rumors were flying in the guild of Goliath.

"Did you hear? The Fairy Tail aces are back!"

"No way!"

"Yeah I heard that they are trying for the next Grand Magic Tournament!"

"Whoa! Hardcore!"

That was the majority of conversation in Goliath. It seemed that everyone in the guild could not stop talking about the return of the aces! David, the guild master, sat at his desk. He had a look of mild amusement on his face. It was still the early morning so David was wearing a brown bathrobe over a white t-shirt and a pair of medium long shorts that were grey. His favorite color was brown. His son, a young kid with short brown hair, dark brown eyes and the same looks as his father. He was carrying a newspaper in his hand and he put it on David's desk.

"Dad, did you hear the news?" he asked as he showed him the front page of the newspaper.

David glanced at the paper to see the group of mages standing at the port in front of a ship. They seemed to be having a jolly good time. David pulled open a drawer in the great mahogany desk and pulled a small picture and a calendar. The picture was of him and a few other people, a lanky man with a dark tan, a huge muscular man, a girl with a bright smile, a sly looking man and a sleepy looking guy yawning. David flipped to the current month of the calendar and looked to see a date circled. It read "Grand Magic Tournament". He smiled and but the picture and calendar back. He stood up and stretched.

"Well Lopez. Looks like we will be seeing what these fairies are made of pretty soon."

Hunter Pride

Like just about every guild in the world, people were talking about Fairy Tail. The noise level was probably the highest in Hunter Pride, the biggest guild in the world. It had over 90,000 members worldwide and they were considerably strong. Their guild master, Hunter, sat in his own office away from the noise. He was reading the morning paper, sipping his black coffee. His sleepy looking eyes passed over the words in the morning paper and he had his feet up on the desk. The room had no windows, was sound proofed and was Hunter's sanctuary. His scruffy light brown hair was sticking to his head.

"Fairy Tail aces return huh? Sounds interesting…" he said as he looked to his right to see a calendar hanging on the wall. "Well that's no fun. I have to wait a whole 3 months to have some fun? Bah." Hunter said as he finished his coffee and put away the newspaper.

Then he went to sleep again.

Gold Mine*

Gold Mine was a relatively new guild, formed by a former Fairy Tail mage, Nithin**. He was the guild master and his guild had gained quick respect under Nithin's leadership. The guild only had 20 members but that was fine with Nithin. Problem was, Nithin was nowhere near Gold Mine. He was in the Ersu Pass, watching a sapling grow. He had been there for about 2 months.

"Come on…grow! You know you can grow!" Nithin urged the small tree as it just sat there in the dirt.

Nithin stood upright and scratched his head. Whatever he did, the sapling didn't grow.

"Man, I was thinking the tree would grow." Nithin said, disappointed.

Nithin failed to notice that a huge 2 headed snake was sneaking up on him. The huge shadow fell across Nithin and Nithin turned to see the huge snake, the malicious eyes watching him. Nithin just looked bored.

"Roark, you have tried that 6 times now. Im not scared of snakes." Nithin said as he sat next to the sapling.

The snake looked disappointed and coiled itself around a huge oak tree. It hissed gently as Nithin came and sat on its head.

"Yeah alright. So saplings don't grow if I talk to them, so what? Got better ideas?" Nithin challenged the snake.

"Lets go home…im bored…" said the head on the right.

"Shut up. I want to stay here forever and watch the sapling grow and then die…" the head on the left said.

Nithin laid back on the snake's head and watched the clouds go by. Suddenly he remembered why he had sent Roark away. He sat up and adjusted his jacket that was starting to fall off his shoulders.

"Er, Roark. Any news from civilization? I was too busy talking to a tree." Nithin said as stroked the head on the right.

"Fairy Tail, aces, here. They got back from Tenrou Island. Done. Lets go home now."

Nithin raised her eyebrows in surprise. The Fairy Tail aces back? Incredible. And the Grand Magic Tournament was only what, 5 months away? He sighed and stood on top of the head on the right.

"Denny, im going to ride on your head today. I don't trust Faust to actually keep direction this time." Nithin said as the 2 headed snake turned and slithered through the forest.

"Oh by the way, you have been here for 2 months." Denny reminded him.

"Bollocks."

Illuminati, Westcliff

Goldfinger sat in his room, watching the people of Westcliff bustle by. His permanent smile, thin blonde hair and his pale face made him look like the sun itself, radiating happiness and joy. Suddenly he was interrupted by a small boy barely in his teens. He was not smiling, brown hair and cold blue eyes. He was holding the morning paper. Goldfinger took the paper and read it.

"Fairy Tail aces? Well well well. Looks like it is time for Illuminati to step forward for the first time in history. Like they say, a strong mage doesn't necessarily make a strong guild does it, Vector?" Goldfinger laughed as the boy nodded slowly.

Fairy Tail, Magnolia

The entire guild was having a festival as the returned guild aces entered the guild. They were immediately crushed by the massive amounts of people rushing towards them. The guild wasn't quite as impressive as it had once been but it was still home right? But did Natsu and his friends foresee the future? What trouble was Raven Tail stirring up and how much competition was there?

So there you go. Anyways, this is an OC/canon story BUT: If you are sending me an OC send it through PM. Any OC that doesn't go through by PM will not be accepted. Refer to my other stories for a form or I will put one on my profile. Please make your mages one from any of the following guilds: Raven Tail, Hunter Pride, Goliath, Knights of Saar, Illuminati or Gold Mine.

References: * that is not the person Gold Mine who runs Quatro Cerberus. It is the guild called Gold Mine.

** this is the same Nithin that is in Nithin Story. Unfortunately, Nithin Story was never finished because of my move to this site.

Be on the lookout for old friends returning and don't forget to send in a review and send in an OC (by PM of course!) Thanks! FF
