— AFTER 3 YEARS IN THE DRAGON/FAIRY/DEMON WORLD… (OR AN HOUR AND A HALF IN EARTHLAND TIME) —
AT THE GUILD… (NORMAL POV)
Natsu was sitting at the bar, chatting with a downcast Mira, as cheerful as ever. Suddenly, 7 figures entered the guild, cloaks over their faces. Natsu ran up to one, stupidly asked if they were spies, when the figure in front, code name Ashley (A/N: like Lucy Ashley), raised her hand and Natsu flew to the ceiling. The normally noisy guild was silent, and the figures (3 tall and 4 short) entered the Makarov's office.
The Master looked up and smiled as the one in front lifted her hood to reveal "Ashley." She had explained the code names, their new appearances, and the circumstances in her letter, which was handy as everyone in the guild (minus Natsu) was listening outside the door to know more about the mysterious "newcomers". They had 4 exceeds. Juvia "Judy" had Nika, a green one, Lisanna "Liz" had a white exceed named Susan, and Lucy had two twins, a pink-and-white-diagonally-striped one, Momo, and a blue-and-white-diagonally-striped one, Mimi.
They had put illusions over the girls so Lucy seemed to have hazel eyes and brown hair with orange streaks. She wore white skinny heans, a losse, black shirt with a red Fairy Tail logo, and black boots with red stitching. Juvia had gray eyes and long blonde hair going to her waist. She wore a blue crop-top shirt and black leggings with jean shorts on top, along with blue flats. Lisanna had green-blue eyes, red hair going to her ears, and freckles. She wore camo pants, a white shirt, a black baseball cap, black tennis shoes, and a jean jacket.
The exceeds wore matching dress similar to Carla's, and no on could say that any of them didn't have fashion sense. They chatted, and then walked out. Lisanna got an illusion-made teal mark, (since it was against the law to have more than one guild mark, know one knows why) Juvia a black one, and Lucy an orange one, all on their right hips. Ashley let Natsu down.
"Fight me!" Natsu roared. Ashley shook her head slowly.
"Natsu," Master chided. "Ashley, or Ash, is on par with Gildarts, along with Judy here and Liz." The guild sweat dropped.
"Fight me!" The guild members chorused, minus Levy, Wendy, and other sensible people, which weren't many.
"Fine," the newcomers sighed. They teleported everyone to their personal (custom) world.
"Okay, let's start with Team Shadowgear minus Levy plus Gajeel. GO!" Master shouted, Mavis cheering both sides on.
Gajeel shot iron at Ashley, who fought back with an iron arm over her own. Ash, Liz, and Judy used copycat magic for a while, and then suddenly yelled "Elemental Celestial Heaven Dual Raid!" taking out all of them at once.
"Next," Makarov said. "Tema Natsu, minus Wendy!" (A/N: And minus Lucy of course.)
"Fire dragon's Roar!" Natsu yelled. Ash opened her moth, unblinking,as the torrent of fire short towards her. The guild thought she was dead meat.
"Well, that was easy!" Natsu yawned.
"Ew! This is disgusting!"
"NANI?!" The "newbies", seeing as this was their most hated group of all of Fairy Tail, decided to get this over and done with.
"Water dragon's roar!"
"Ice dragon's roar!"
"Snow dragon's roar!"
"TRIPLE COMBO!"
"Blumenbla—" Erza started.
"Ice make—"
"Fire dragon's—" Too late. They were down for the count.
30 MINUTES LATER…
"And the newcomers won every round!"
"Tch," muttered Natsu after Judy and Wendy healed him. "If Gildarts, Mystogan and the Thunder God Tribe were here, we would've won."
"No way!" Liz protested. "We weren't even breaking a sweat, and we haven't even used a fourth of our magic!" The guild sweat dropped.
"Hey!" Levy noticed. "Why haven't we seen you here before"
"Yeah!"
"Um… we had been gone on a 10-year-long S-class mission! And when we came, we came with Mystogan when he put you guys to sleep…" Judy tried.
"Whoa!"
"Cool!" Jason the reporter had seen the explosions and had come to investigate them. "Names?"
"Ashley."
"Judy."
"liz."
"Cool! So cool! Interview time!" He dragged the "newbies" off.
"Hmph," Natsu pouted. "I'm the Salamander, but they get the fame." Still, they're really hot, he consoled himself.
THE NEXT DAY…
"Well, brats, in 3 months, the Grand Magic Games will start. I need you all to train hard so Fairy Tail will when!" The guild cheered. "And, to get the prize," Master Makarov muttered with money eyes. After his speech was done, Team "AJL", now changed to "Team Braveheart," decided to go to the dragon world and train hard until the three months were over. (3 months in the human world not in the dragon world.) They decided to learn some new magic.
PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER (THE GMG):
"Okay! The participates are:"
"You'll see. It'll work out."
"Okay! In last place, Team Opera!"
"Cobra Nightmares!"
"What were you thinking, Master?!"
"Time for the first one! Pollercoaster!"
