I had a dream about owning Fairytail once... But it was just a dream.


Freed nearly though the book across the guild hall in frustration. Instead he chose to slam the book shut and drop the hefty tome on the wooden table not even bothering to remove his pen and notepad from between the pages. The loud thud reverberated through the table causing the rest of the Thunder Legion and Laxus to look up with worry. Freed hardly ever got frustrated and never due to a book; but right now he looked like he could was about commit murder.

"Hey Freed, calm down. You are kind of freaking me out here." Evergreen muttered.

"Ya man you have been going through books for days now. What is up?" Bixlow scowled.

Freed closed his eyes and took several deep breaths regaining his composer before he spoke. "The Master requested that I do some research for him. However, there appears to be a problem. There is simply in information on the topic he wishes to know about. If there is something, it is nothing more than rumor or speculation. It is quite frustrating." He ended with a sigh he had been looking for days now 6 to be exact but all the books were the same.

Laxus scowl depend "Isn't that kind of work more up the Iron face's bookworm alley?" He growled.

Freed shifted uncomfortably in his chair. He really was not supposed to talk about this. "Yes. Mis. Levy is usually more adept at this kind of work but master requested that I handle it instead."

"Why the hell would he do that? Master know the capabilities of all of his 'brats'" Bixlow mused.

"Maybe it is less about capabilities and more of who she is. Levy loves to talk. She is especially close to Gajeel. Maybe it has something to do with dragon slayers?" Evergreen reasoned.

"I am sorry but if you want to know you will just have to ask the master yourselves. I am not allowed to tell." Freed sighed. He reached down to pick up the book only to find it was no longer in front of him. He started and quickly glanced around to locate it to only gasp when he found Laxus with the book in his hands. He had flipped to the page where Freed's pen and note pad were still sticking out and was quickly scanning the contents. His expression darkening the further down the page he went.

"L..Laxus..." Freed stuttered reaching for the book in Laxus's hands. Laxus slammed the book shut sending all three of the thunder legion flinching away.

"So it's Blondie." Laxus stated before slamming the book on the table and marching up the stairs towards the master's office. Leaving a stunned Freed a confused Bixlow and a smirking Evergreen.


Makarov sensed Laxus headed towards his office. He merely sighed and continued with this particularly nasty piece of paperwork. To be honest he had expected Freed to spill everything to his beloved Laxus much sooner. But, Freed telling Laxus was a much better option than Levy telling Lucy. Makarov heard his office door open and close.

"Freed still has not found anything." It was a statement not a question and Makarov was not surprised in the least when it was met with silence. "I am sorry I had to request his help without your approval first but the assignment was never suppose to turn into such an ordeal. Apparently the information does not exist."

"What exactly do you need to know about Blondies magic. I am guessing it has something to do with the One Magic incident." Apparently Freed had not told Laxus as much as he had expected.

"Yes after Lucy used One Magic at the battle with Zeref everyone just assumed that the amount of power she produced was directly related to the one magic. I am sure that is part of it but..." Makarov trailed of, getting distracted in his own thoughts.

"You have a different theory." Laxus finished. Sighing Makarov placed his pen down and looked up at his grandson. He was leaning against the door with his usual scowl but there was unreadable expression in his eyes. Laxus had changed a lot over the past few years and now truly cared for the guild, Makarov could only hope that was what his expression meant.

"There is somethings that just don't add up. Lucy's magic has improved tremendously and changed a good deal since joining the guild. Erza informed me that before the Grand Magic Games they had their magic containers forcibly expanded and then over our one year... sabbatical... her abilities reach a height that most celestial wizards have never even dreamed of. Not to mention the sheer amount of power she used during the incident put even zerif to shame. But when you sense her magical capacities..." Makarov allowed himself to be consumed by thoughts again.

"Are you saying that her magic has not changed?" Laxus moved forwards during Makarov's little rant and was now glaring down at him from the other side of the desk.

"No. Quite the opposite. I am saying in spite of obvious improvement her magic feels like it is at the same level as it was when she first walked through our doors, back when she struggled to keep one Zodiac gate open at a time." Laxus closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Okay. I will admit that is weird but I don't see what this has to do with her using One Magic." The room was quiet for a few minutes before Makarov replied.

"What if when she used One Magic, when she changed the kind of magic she used, that was the first time we were able to truly sense how powerful she was."

"What the hell are you saying old man" Laxus growled.

"You know exactly what I am saying." Makarov snapped. "You know she asked to go looking for her key." Laxus was still trying to understand the idea of the ditzy, busty, blond having that much power. People all over Fiore had been able to feel the magic she was giving off.

"What did you say?"

Makarov sighed. "I told her to wait until things settle down here first. I was hoping to find out more about her magic before I let her leave but apparently that is not going to happen." Laxus shook is head and walked towards the door. He paused before he opened it.

"Have you thought about talking to one of her spirits? If anyone knows something about her magic it would be them. That stupid lion has been around a lot lately." Makarov noded.

"I had not thought of that. I will take it into consideration. I am sure I don't have to tell you that it would be best not to let this spread around the guild." Laxus merely grunted in response before finally opening the door and heading back to the guild. Makarov sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that day and picked up his pen. He began muttering about "Brats" and "Always causing trouble" along with "to much damn paper work"
