"I'm arranging a team!" Master Makarov of Fairy Tail yelled. The guild could'nt wait to find out who it was. Very carefully Makarov went through the names on his list and then went round the back. Erza followed him.

"Am I doing the right thing?" Makarov murmured to Erza who had followed him. "Sending those brats into something none of us know of...Erza!" He said. "Make sure you protect those Brats. 'Cause they're mine. And I can't take it if..." He trailed off. "Don't worry, they're safe with me." Erza promised.

Gajeel lay slump on the floor, blood splattered everywhere. The extraction was finished, but there was more to come. He had been more than shocked to realize that Number Zero was sill...there... Gajeel started to remember, no keep it out...no...he started to lose consciousness...

The boy wasn't old, but he managed to outrun the men. They were chasing...no! Faster, faster! He cried out as he felt the pain in his dislocated leg, but he ran. Suddenly a large shadow was over him. He looked up and gaped. It was a large bird, or, or...a DRAGON. The boy knew he was being chased, but he just stood and looked in awe. All of the men stopped as well. One of them yelled "Stop! Capture it for Number Zero!" The dragon roared. It was shiny, almost like silver. It roared and something came out of its mouth, aiming straight at the men. It then flew and picked the boy upand flew away. "W-who are you?" the boy asked. The dragon's voice was deep and resonated throughout the boy. He shivered. It was a good feeling. "My name," he boomed, "is Metalicana."

Gajeel was abruptly brought out of his flashback by a man standing in front of him. He turned around and slowly walked away. Gajeel knew he had to follow-and he did so, leaving a trail of blood on the floor.

The next morning, everyone was packed up and waiting at the train station. The team consisted of Erza, Lucy, Gray, Natsu, Wendy, Carla, Happy, and Levy, who had wanted to come along. They waited for the train. Wendy began casting Troia on Natsu as the train arrived. They boarded on and waited in silence for the train to arrive to its destination. Each of them were deeply thinking in their own thoughts when suddenly Natsu jumped up. "What's up, Natsu?" Lucy asked. Natsu stared out of the window."This smell..." Natsu murmured, "It's the same as the one who took Gajeel...its weak, but its there." Everyone jumped up. "And there's another smell...it's familiar...I know it was someone from 7 years ago who came to watch us at the Grand Magic games." He murmured. They walked into another carriage. The train slowed down and the whistle sounded. "What?" Lucy frowned. "We haven't even arrived!" she exclaimed. The door opened. And in came Mavis Vermillion. "Hello, hero's of Fairy Tail!" she beamed. Everyone gaped.

"You're either dead or on Tenroujinia…what are you doing here-and I thought the Grand Magic Games was a one off!" Lucy said weakly.

"I'm only a projection!" she giggled. Everyone relaxed. "I must warn you," she continued, "Fairy Tails great battle is drawing near. You must prepare. I have held off the evil for a short while, but it is drawing near…and not in the form you should think." And with that she vanished in a puff. Natsu grinned.

"Well, lets get on with the fighting of the day!" he grinned. They followed Natsu with his sense of smell, and ended up in another station they were unfamiliar with. "Hey!" Lucy exclaimed "what's that!" They followed Lucy; she had seen a familiar hair-do. "Its…Its….Reedus!" Lucy exclaimed.

Reedus turned around, shocked. "What are you doing here Reedus?!" Erza questioned.

Reedus blushed. "R-Reedus is coming to see h-his friend. S-She is Oney, an a-artist like me." He replied, blushing. "Haaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!" Natsu roared with laughter. Erza nodded curtly, trying her best not to laugh. They walked on, but Lucy was bothered by something. She was trying to remember…but, oh, what was it! She remembered and everything clicked together in piece. She told everyone to gather round and she told them what she had figured out.

Reedus walked out of the station sweating. He walked down a nearby alley and…..slipped on ice! He yelped as he slipped backwards. He stood up and his mouth was immediately filled with sand! Sand and ice? What?! A figure with red hair appeared from the shadows and sliced at him with double swords. She was FAST! Then a figure was flying right above him.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!" And Reedus was on the floor, his clothes burning. What the hell?! He then realized that the eight figures; six humans and two cats; were the ones that Makarov had sent. He smiled. " Show yourself!" Erza demanded.

"Now, what do you mean?" Reedus asked innocently with a smirk. A robot with a laser was pointed straight at him. "You heard her!" the Heartfilia girl replied casually.

The man smiled slowly. They were good. "Okay, then!" he said and with that he changed. Soon, he was a tall man with sunglasses and a bunny suit. Everyone sweatdropped. "My bad…" he said weakly.

"What kind of an idiot man would wear that?" Lucy groaned. The bunny suit was replaced with a business suit and a black top hat…..and with the sunglasses. The man smirked.

"Now you have seen my true form…..lets fight!" He changed form again…..and he was now wearing armour. Erza gasped. " The Purgatory Armour!" she exclaimed.

"I can defeat him that easily!" Gray smirked. "Ice Make:Lance!" he yelled.

"Ice Make:Geysar!" the man laughed.

"What the hell?" Lucy exclaimed.

"He….can copy magic….but this is different!" Erza said, frustrated.

"My magic ids Mimic" The man laughed, "but because of Gajeels DragonSlayer magic, its upgraded!" he said a maniacal laugh coming from him.

Natsu scowled. "Fine then!" he grinned. "See if you can copy this" And with that he adopted a stance with his left leg behind his right.

"You'll destroy half the cit, you idiot!" Lucy yelled.

"ROAR OF THE THUNDER FIRE DRAGON!" Natsu roared.

"Fool" the man replied.

Natsu lay on the floor. It all happened in an instant. There was blood coming from his head. Lcy and Erza screamed. The man was gone. Gray just stared. Someone stood on the roof of a nearby building; smiling.
