"Wait now it says there's four" Happy states
"It went up" Gajeel says
"Who could it be?" Natsu asks
"The girls are still stone so it couldn't be any of them" Makarov states
"Aren't you guys forgetting about someone? A member that's frequently out of town?" Erza asks
"Hold on, you don't mean him"
"And he's back when we need him the most"
"He's always been one to make a grand entrance. It looks like the real battle is about to begin"
"Someone want to fill me in over here?" Gajeel asks
"We're talking about a man that may very well be the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail
"Mystogan"

"Now it says there's two more" Happy informs
"Who could they be... No, it's been nine years, I've forgotten about them" Makarov says
"Who are you talking about?" Natsu asks
"Adam Lionhardt and Ryan Archelight"
Adam looks over the city of Magnolia and thinks 'What the hell happened?'
"I have feeling we should get to the guild hall" Ryan says
"Yeah, let's do that"
And so the Magma Mage and Water Dragon Slayer make their way to the guild hall with 0 resistance.
"Makarov, what the hell happened when we were gone?" Adam said with a serious look in his eye
"Well, uh, um. Alright, Laxus did this to 'purge' the guild of 'weak' wizards, and so far the only fighters left are in this room. Minus Mystogan"
"Where's Mira?" Adam asks
"One of the stones back there, also can you tell me who the hell you are?" Gajeel asks
"Later"
Adam walks over to the stone Mirajane and looks her over as well as the others.
"Evergreen"
Later after Erza defeats Evergreen...
Mira shatters and looks around. Let's see: Natsu, Gajeel, Master Makarov, Lucy, Adam, Cana- Wait! Adam! Mira suddenly runs to Adam and hugs him like he'll disappear if she lets go. He looks more rugged with his wild black hair being longer and now covering his right eye and he now has slight facial hair.
"Woah there, hey Mira, how ya been?"
"You're back. Nine long years and you're finally back" Mira starts crying
"Yeah, well I couldn't stay away any longer. I couldn't find 'her' but I found you again. I heard about Lisanna, I'm so sorry I was gone" He hugs her back
"Master, who is he? And why does he seem so close to Mira?" Lucy asks
"That is our 2nd ever Dragon Slayer. The Water Dragon Slayer Adam Lionhardt. And he was the youngest mage to pass the S-Class trials. He and Mirajane had a very close relationship, then he left for nine years and only she knows why and wouldn't tell us. She completely broke down when Lisanna died and he wasn't there" Makarov explains while Juvia perks up at 'Water Dragon Slayer'.
"No more hostages now Laxus, you have to end this game now, boy"
"He won't stop there master" Adam says
"Can you hear me old man? The rest of you better listen up too."
"What do you want?"
"Looks like one of the rules has gone out the window. That's fine, I'll just add a new one. In other words, since I'd hate to end the Battle of Fairy Tail early, I've decided to activate the Thunder Palace"
"Are you out of your mind Laxus?!"
"You have one hour and ten minutes, if you can win you'd better get moving, unless you're ready to hand over the guild to me, 'Master'. Ahahahahahahahahaha"
"This game has gone on for long enough boy, I won't let you drag innocent people into this-" Makarov doubles over.
"The hell?!" Ryan yells
"I'll go get his medicine" Mira stands and runs off.
"What's he mean by the Thunder Palace?" Natsu asks
"Uh guys, look outside!" Adam yells
Big yellow spheres with lightning bolts in them were floating in the sky, surrounding the city.
"What the heck are those?" Lucy asks
"They look like lightning lacrima to me" Levy says
"That means Laxus did this. They may not look that dangerous but they're overflowing with lightning magic, this could get ugly. Let's just hope he doesn't set them off" Cana says
"This has to be the Thunder Palace. If he activates it, everything within the boundaries will be burned to a crisp" Ryan says
"I won't let that happen, Requip: Sniper Rifle! Target locked on! Stinger Shot!" Bisca states
"Good thing we got a sniper" Cana says
"Now all I gotta do is take out the rest-AHHHHHHHH" Bisca gets heavily electrocuted where she stands
"Shit! Body Link magic, of coarse!" Ryan yells
"We have to take down Laxus and fast. No telling how quick the time'll run out with us distracted. Alright, I've got a list that has the names of people's asses I need to kick and the Thunder Legion is at the top, so let's move. Ryan, Mira you're with me. Cana you're with... uh-"
"Juvia. Juvia Lockser"
"-Juvia. Lucy you evacuate the citizens. Levy, get the enchantment down. After that the other 2 Dragon Slayers will find Laxus. All right everyone, move out!" Adam commands
"AYE!"
