A couple minutes after, Thomas left them, Thomas walked to the outskirts of Hargeon Town where he created his guild. The owner of 8-Island, Yajima, saw him and said, "Young man. Got a minute."
Thomas heard that and looked at him and then Yajima nodded and then Thomas walked over to him and then said, "Yessir. How may I help you, sir?"
Yajima asked, "Where are you headed?"
Thomas answered, "To God House Rocks."
Yajima asked, "Why would you go to such a place?"
Thomas answered, "To blow it to smithereens."
Yajima heard that and then looked at him and then asked, "Are you a member of Fairy Tail?"
Thomas answered, "Not yet. But I'll be joining the guild soon."
Yajima said, "You shouldn't attack that guild unless they attack you."
Thomas said, "Sir, you don't understand."
Yajima said, "Yes I do. They ruined the reputation of the guild. I know that. It doesn't mean that you destroy the guild, kiddo."
Thomas said, "You really don't understand anything. I founded the guild."
Yajima heard that and then said, "No, you didn't."
Thomas said, "Yes I did."
Natsu appeared and saw him talking with Yajima and then Daniel appeared by 8-Island and then asked, "Is he giving you any trouble, Yajima?"
Yajima answered, "Nope, he's an old friend of mine."
Daniel said, "He looks like a 10 year old boy."
Thomas said, "I'm 764 years old. Nice to meet you."
Daniel said, "Not possible."
Yajima asked, "Who are you?"
Thomas answered, "Thomas Dragneel, the founder of God House Rocks."
Daniel heard that and then said, "Sir, I've always wanted to meet you."
Thomas looked at him and then said, "You are?"
Yajima answered, "The current guildmaster of God House Rocks."
Thomas said, "I see. So you ruined my guild's reputation."
Daniel heard that and screeched and then said, "I'm sorry. Some voice told us to attack Fairy Tail."
Thomas said, "Some voice told you to?"
Daniel said, "Yes. A man's voice. That's all I know."
Thomas said, "I see. If you attack Fairy Tail again, you will feel my wrath."
Daniel said, "Sir, we wouldn't want that now, would we?"
Thomas answered, "No, we wouldn't."
Yajima said, "Please not here."
Thomas said, "By the way, does the Magic Council still exist?"
Yajima answered, "Yep. You are looking at a member of the Council."
Thomas said, "Oh, nice to meet you sir."
Daniel whispered, "He's a really dangerous man to society. You should have him arrested."
Yajima heard that and then Thomas said, "I have no reason to attack God House Rocks now. But like I said before, if you attack Fairy Tail again, that guild will be no more."
Thomas walked away and then Natsu looked at him and then said, "He's a little fishy. Let's follow him, Happy."
Happy said, "Aye sir."
They followed him as discreetly as possible and then Thomas stopped in front of the ocean and then said, "It's as beautiful as ever. Seeing the ocean never gets old."
The man at Hargeon Port asked, "Do you need anything sir?"
Thomas answered, "Nah, just looking at the ocean."
He said, "Well, it is a beautiful place to be."
Thomas said, "The sad thing is, being a Dragon Slayer, you can't stand riding the waves."
He heard that and said, "You are a Dragon Slayer?"
Thomas answered, "Yes. I didn't mention that to you earlier."
He said, "No, I thought that you were just a Summoner Magician because you summoned the ship."
Thomas said, "Oh, that wasn't mine. It was my foster parents magic."
He heard that and asked, "What are you planning to do once you get to Fairy Tail, kid?"
Thomas answered, "Help them out as much as possible. I can't go back to God House Rocks. I just threatened to kill the guildmaster."
He said, "You really do have a deathwish, kid."
Thomas said, "I apologise. By the way man, do you remember the last thing I told you 700 years ago?"
He laughed and said, "So you remember me, I'm honored."
Thomas said, "Of course I'd remember an old friend of mine."
He said, "Yeah, I remember. You said 'I might not be coming back for a very long time. Protect Magnolia for me. It's in your hands now. I'm going to miss you.' That's what you told me."
Thomas said, "Yes. You did well in protecting it."
He laughed and then said, "You know, I was surprised to see you come back. I literally thought that you died all those years ago. What happened to you?"
Thomas answered, "I was put in an eternal slumber."
Natsu looked at them and then Happy asked, "Shall we jump him?"
The man looked back and then said, "You know that you were followed."
Thomas said, "It's ok. It's a member of Fairy Tail. He probably thinks that I want revenge for destroying my guild. Hell no. They deserve what's coming to them. Fairy Tail will prevail each time. Daniel Reeds doesn't understand the meaning of giving up. Not till the day he dies that is."
He laughed and said, "You certainly haven't changed. And I thought that you'd be at the guild by now. And yet, you are bitching about that fake Salamander person."
Thomas said, "Well, shit happens when you try to enslave women, man."
In another area, Hargeon Park, Lucy was sitting down and then the man appeared saying, "Hello there little girl. That man that you were with earlier, Thomas Dragneel is a really dangerous man. You shouldn't trust him."
Lucy asked, "How would you know?"
He answered, "I watched him take out an entire Navy Fleet. He's a really bad guy. He's probably the darkest magician in history."
Lucy said, "And you are telling me this because."
He answered, "Your other friend just went after him. He's in a lot of trouble. But I came here to invite you to my cruiseship. We'll be taking a cruise all around Ishgar. If you are interested, come to Hargeon Port at 8 p.m. That's when we leave tonight."
She heard that and said, "OK. I'll be there."
Thomas heard that and then said, "She really is stupid. She really fell for the fake Salamanders trap."
The man asked, "What are you going to do?"
Thomas answered, "I'm going to obviously save her from him."
Natsu looked at Thomas and then he laughed saying, "Your goal hasn't changed has it?"
Thomas answered, "Of course not, man. Saving the world is what I do. That's why I trained my body and soul to learn magic. To use it for good. Not evil."
Natsu stepped forward and then Thomas said, "Hello Natsu. Stop spying on me and get over here and talk with us."
He heard that and then Natsu asked, "What are you truly planning?"
Thomas answered, "Saving the world. You?"
Natsu heard that and asked, "Why would you threaten to kill the guildmaster of God House Rocks?"
Thomas answered, "Good question. Maybe God wants it that way. I just do what they tell me to do. But if you were to see Lucy taken away by an evil person, what would you do?"
Natsu answered, "I'd save her. What would you do?"
Thomas said, "Well, we were just talking about that actually."
Natsu heard that and then they continued to talk about a plan to save her. As soon as it turned 8:30 p.m. the ship that they were on, set sail. Lucy said, "This is a nice luxury ship."
The fake Salamander said, "Thank you. I paid a lot of good money to get it."
Lucy said, "I can tell. So where are the others."
The curtains started opening and then they started laughing and then the fake Salamander said, "Well now, I hate to tell you this, but we were never going to give you a tour of Ishgar. We were just going to sell you all for a nice price."
Lucy said, "Are all Fairy Tail mages like this?"
He answered, "Yes, they are."
They started laughing and then Lucy took her Celestial Spirit Keys out and then he brought his flames out and grabbed the keys with them and then Thomas said, "Go."
Natsu said, "Sure thing. Happy, fly me into the ship."
Happy said, "Understood."
Thomas said, "As soon as you get Lucy, get out of there Happy. Let Natsu handle the rest."
The man asked, "What if he gets sick?"
Thomas answered, "Uh, Lucy will have to do something to get him on land again."
Natsu said, "I see."
Thomas smiled and said, "Let's see what happens next."
The keys started to sink under the water and then they started grabbing Lucy and the fake Salamander said, "Oh, this is going to be a lot of fun. This long journey to our land. We're going to get a very high price for you. Put her to sle..."
Someone crashed down into the ship and then everyone looked at it and then the fake Salamander yelled, "My ship."
As soon as the smoke disappeared, Natsu appeared and Lucy said, "Natsu."
Natsu said, "Thomas was right. You really were in trouble. I guess that he's trustworthy after all."
Thomas said, "I heard that dammit."
Natsu laughed and then made a face saying, "I feel like I'm about to be sick."
Thomas laughed and then Happy grabbed Lucy and then flew out of there and said, "She's so heavy."
Thomas said, "Put some effort into it Happy."
Happy said, "Aye sir."
Thomas said, "Lucy, I'm using Telepathy right now. You are a Celestial Spirit Magician. I need you to send that ship flying back to the shore."
Lucy asked, "Why should I trust you?"
Thomas answered, "He told you that I destroyed the Navy Fleet, which never happened by the way. I just woke up from a 700 year slumber. Get your keys and awaken Aquarius. She might not like it, but hell, she'll send your ass flying too. But Natsu won't last long. Along with the other women."
Lucy heard that and then Thomas said, "It's time to become a hero, Lucy. Save Natsu and become that hero."
Lucy heard that and then Happy said, "I'm running on fumes. I can't fly for that long."
Thomas smiled and then Lucy yelled, "This isn't part of the plan is it?"
Thomas answered, "Well, it's to be expected. Happy is weak."
Lucy heard that and said, "Oh, that makes sense."
Thomas said, "Yep."
Happy said, "Don't be so mean to me, Thomas."
Thomas said, "Sorry. Just get your keys and save Natsu. As soon as he reappears, I'll send them straight back to where they came from."
Lucy heard that and then said, "OK."
