It had been four years since Natsu and Team Tenrou left for the S-Mage test and the Fairy Tail Guild hasn't been well. They lost their large building due to bankrupt and now are in a small shack outside of Magnolia. Without many jobs on the board, many of the members left, leaving handfuls of people. It includes the newest member Romeo Conbolt, the son of the new fourth master of the guild. Macao Conbolt. Romeo and the rest of the guild ad been vigorously determined to find the missing group, but came home empty handed every time.

Along in the search parties was Rena, the Sea Dragon Slayer, and her diverse knowledge of the open waters. Even she was confused with the strange disappearance of the group and the island.

But there was something that caught her attention. Even though the feeling was only a few seconds.

There was a hint of magical energy in the water, magic she was oblivious about and chose not to tell anyone.

Now, with Rena gone on a mission, no one dared to even go near the site without her.

"Come on dad! We should try looking! Maybe there is something we missed!" Romeo tried to convince his father to keep searching without the Sea Dragon.

"No Romeo, without Rena we wouldn't find any more than what we already know," the Fourth shouted in irritation.

"But-"

"That's enough! We will not talk about this anymore!"

Romeo, furious, turned and ran out of the guild, not even putting an effort to shut the doors behind him.

Meanwhile, Rena was on a mission that involved her in the ocean. The paper said that the owner lost something important in the ocean and was paying a lot for it to be found. The iris-haired girl worked alone on this mission, as she had done for the last three years. She tried with Droy and Jet with Levy gone, but their personalities didn't work well with Rena and they just stopped being around each other.

Droy and Jet were always crying over Levy and Rena can't deal with cry-babies. Rena was always reminiscing on the memories she had with Natsu and the others, and that would make them cry even more.

"Miss, can you describe your item? It would help me look for it," Rena suggested to the lady.

"Ah, yes, well…" The young lady was looking around nervously.

"…?" Rena waited for the description when she saw something from the corner of her eyes and shoved the young lady out of the way and blocked herself with her magic. It was a magic bomb, exploding when coming in contact with a magical source. Throwing the young mage back and sliding her on the stone pathway. But she got up as she was sliding by flipping backward, but something caught her from behind. The thing behind her locked her around the shoulders and the other figure come forward to face her.

"It's good to see you again, Rena." It was Jellal and his menacing grin.

"Jellal, aren't you supposed to be in jail?" Rena sneered.

"Didn't you hear? I was released."

"You mean escaped," it was more of a statement than a suggestion.

"Call it what you want, but I'm here now."

Rena struggled to get free, but whoever was holding her was obviously very strong. She couldn't even move!

"Anyways, let's get to business shall we?" Jellal said, reaching a hand out to touch her.

"I thought you changed? You know, turned a new leaf?" Rena looked around, "You told Erza that last time we saw you." Rena noticed a large barrel of water and focused on it.

"Yeah, but it's more exciting this way, being the bad guy." Jellal spoke casually. There was something wrong, the last time Rena saw Jellal was during the Nirvana incident and he hadn't remembered anything from the Tower of Heaven, Erza had told her everything about the Tower of Heaven. He looked sad and confused then, but now he just evil.

When Jellal was distracted with the conversation, she took her chance and forced the barrel into him by pulling the water and kicking the guy behind her in the shin. When she was released from his hold, she used all her strength to grab his shoulders from behind her and toss him over on her ground. While they were both down, she turned and ran, knowing she can't take them both on by herself.

Thinking that they weren't following, she stopped by the beach. Keeping the large water source close, she looked around for anything strange. She sniffed the air, not catching any unusual scent, but when the wind blew against her face, she felt a familiar presence.

She turned and face a man she hadn't seen in years.

"Ivan…" Rena growled. She hated him for everything he did so many years ago.

"Hello my dear, I see you have joined my father's guild, tell me, how is Laxus doing?" His grin was dark.

"You're…what?" Rena was new to this information. No one had ever thought of mentioning anything about this man being Master Mokarov's son and Laxus's father! What else could they be hiding?

"I hear that Laxus had disappeared along with that old man," his grin didn't leave his face, "a long with that Salamander kid, right?"

Rena was strucked by his mention of Natsu's nickname and tackled him to the ground. "If you had anything to do with their disappearance-"

"What will you do? Drown me?"

Rena froze, gathering water around her hand, "Maybe…" but she was unsure of herself. Could she do this? Could she force him to help her? No. She can't trust him on anything. Rena got off the man.

Ivan laid on the ground longer that he should have on the ground, this bothered the girl a little, but it was too late to react to whatever was happening.

Jellal and the man that was holding her earlier showed up and knocked Rena to the ground, but holding her legs and arms to the gound. She struggled to get free as a shadowy figure stood over her.

"Stay still, this will only be a moment." A familiar voice said, but Rena didn't have the chance to figure it out until he touched her face, making everything go dark.

At the guild, everyone was silent. Someone mentioned a missing member and everyone got very melancholy. No one even bothered to open the door when there was shouting from the enterance.

"Everyone! Help! Rena needs help!" It was Romeo with Rena. She made him look tiny on his back.

"What happened?" Macao rushed to his son and the unconscious member.

"I don't know, I just found her at the docks like this."

"Hmmm…." Rena began to awake. "Where am I?"

"You're back at the Guild, don't worry, we'll take care of you…" the Fourth took her in his arms and laid her on table, because they don't really have an infirmary.

"Guild?" Rena looked around confused and dizzy.

"Yeah, Fairy Tail, Rena what happened?" Droy asked.

"I… don't know… Fairy Tail?" Rena sat up and pressed a hand to her face, "I… can't remember…"

"Rena, what are you saying?" Alzack, the Gun Magic Mage, stepped forward.

"I'm saying…" She got up, "I don't remember anything!" The iris haired mage shouted. Her voice echoed through the hollow wood in the building.

"Anything?" Romeo asked, shocked by her shouting, "What do you mean?"
Rena turned, her face showing rage and confusion. "I don't remember anything." She began pointed to each other the guild member, "I don't know you, you, you, or even you." She turned to leave.

"Are you saying you don't remember Natsu-nii!?" Romeo roared at her back.

Rena turned slowly, looking sad and scared. "Am I supposed to?"

And with that, they let her leave. But when she was about to open the door, she froze. Pressing a hand to her chest just below her right collar bone, and pulled the part of her top that covered it. She turned shouting, "Is there something that's supposed to be here? I feel as if something is missing from this spot."

The members of the guild looked at her shaken, and their expression making Rena uncomfortable and turning and rushing out before anyone can speak. That was all she needed. This guild meant something to her, and something was missing from her chest.

"Dad, did you…" Romeo began but couldn't finish. Everyone still stood there stunned about what happened.

"Yes, I saw it." Macao was shaken but not as much as Romeo, who didn't show anything but rage.

"It was gone…" Tears began to fill his son's eyes, "Her symbol… it's gone…"

The guild fell silent as few began to cry.

Once again, Fairy Tail, the once known to be the strongest guild in Fiore, had just lost another member.

Another family member.

Another friend.

Rena kept running until she bumped into a muscular figure. Landing on her butt, a hand was extended to her face. She looked up and met eyes with a blonde, spikey haired man who gave her a worried look.

"Are you okay?" His voice echoed through her head as she took his hand.

"I'm fine, sorry…" She allowed the stranger to help her up.

"Rena! I finally found you!" A squeaky voice came from behind her and something landed on her shoulder. It was Rylen, her Exceed with a long purple and grey striped tail. "You disappeared from the docks."

"The docks?" The Dragon Slayer tried to think about it, but an aching pain stopped her and hand her bending over. "Arg.."

"Hey, are you sure you're alright?" The man was still standing there.

"It's just a headache, but thanks," Rena gave him a thankful smile. She noticed that he had began to blush and looked away.

"A-Are you a mage?" He asked without making eye contact.

"Yeah, I'm a Dragon Slayer-"

"Really?! I mean.. really?" He tried to recover from his excitement. Rena nodded, fighting back a smile.

"What about you? Are you a mage?"

He nodded, "I'm Sting Eucliffe, I'm from Sabertooth." He stood there, as if proud of himself from speaking his name.

"Sabertooth?" Rena tilted her head in confusion. Rylen knocked her on the side of the head.

"Dummy, it's the strongest Guild in Fiore!"

"Oh, is it?"

"Yeah! You should come join us! You seem like a strong mage!" Sting was getting really worked up.

"No, we have to get back to-"

"I'll go." Rena cut off Rylen.

"Alright! This way!" Sting grabbed her wrist and began leading the way.

"Rena, what about Fairy Tail?" Rylen whispered to her.

"What about it? They don't concern us."

"Did you say something…uh…I don't think you said your name." Sting asked stopping to look at her, still holding her wrist.

"It's Rena, Rena Lynette." She grabbed his hand around her wrist. "And if you want to drag around a lady, you should do it right," She took his hand and placed it in hers.

"Alright! I'll keep that in mind!" He grinned and began walking beside her, their hands intertwine.

Thei gave Rylen an unpleasant feeling while the two newly acquainted pair were feeling anything but unpleasant.
