Chapter 3
On the World Stage
3 Days Later,
It had been 3 days since Natsu had slain the Hydra. His new 'Azure Flame Drive' not only allowed access to a Hydra's Flame but also its regenerative capabilities. Although he was not sure that he'd be able to regenerate after getting his head cut off but his regeneration was boosted to extreme levels. To test his regeneration, he made a deep incision on his arm. To his surprise it was healed within seconds. But it had two drawbacks. One that in order to activate his regeneration he had to enter his 'Azure Flame Drive' and the other that it used up magic from his magical reserves in order to boost his healing capabilities. Although it was not that taxing on his reserves but it was still noticeable but compared to the benefits it was still well worth it.
When Natsu wanted to develop new spells for his new drive he fired up a 'Magic Circle' on accident. The 'Magic Circle' was azure in colour. It had 'Draconic Runes' on the edges of the circle, along the circumference. In the middle was a 'Hydra's' head. He decided to fire a blast from it. A blue coloured fireball shot out, targeting a nearby deer. After travelling for a few meters, the fireball split into 9 smaller. As soon as the deer noticed the fireballs heading its way and moved out of its way. To the surprise of both Natsu and the deer, the fireballs recalibrated their position, the deer out of sheer instincts jumped but was struck by 5 blasts. The 4 that missed turned back around and struck the deer who was consumed in a blazing inferno, Poor Deer. Natsu just grinned. His new spell had a homing effect, that is it would never miss. He would name it 'Azure Flame Dragon's Hydra Blast' as the spell resembled the Hydra that he had slain.
On the note of his training, his magical reserves had expanded exponentially. His physical prowess was nothing to scoff at, and he was monstrously fast in terms of pure speed.
Natsu was about a day's journey away from Bosco's capital, Sivilla. After he would reach the capital, he would buy a disguise and enter the bar to attack the slaver's guild and take it down. Once the head, fell the others would also come tumbling down with internal fights for power as the power vacuum would expand taking the whole circuit down, that was Natsu's plan. First, he would request to speak to the boss as a client then take him down along with his henchmen. Oh, if only it were that simple.
Meanwhile With Fairy Tail,
With 'Team Gray'
Natsu had left with only a letter stating that he'd be back before the 'GMG'. He knew that his rival would grow strong and train. He could only return the favour by doing the same as he did not want to fall behind him. He would train hard but for now he'd enjoy a feast in the 'Celestial World' then train. These were the thoughts of Gray Fullbuster as he entered the Realm of Celestial Spirits.
That was the last anyone heard of Team Gray.
In Fairy Tail's Guildhall
"Master did you see 'Sorcerer's Weekly' today." Asked Macao.
"No" replied Makarov.
"They published that they found the corpse of a '9-Headed Hydra' in Darchlight woods, in Bosco. It was apparently killed by something." Said Macao.
Master Makarov's eyes widened upon hearing the news.
"Whoever killed the Hydra must be powerful to bypass the scales as well as its regeneration" said Makarov.
"Ya" replied Macao.
Serpent's Head HQ,
"Sir, one of our men that escaped capture during his mission to subdue a village said that a very powerful mage would try and destroy our circuit. What should we do Sir?" said a henchman.
"A very powerful mage you say. Let's see if he'll be able to handle 'The Ruined Six'" said the Leader of Serpent's Head.
"Are you really going to deploy them sir?" asked a fearful henchman.
"Yes. They should be able to handle this 'Powerful Mage'" answered the Leader.
"This should be good entertainment" thought the Leader.

"We'll be ready to attack Stella in 2 weeks" said Someone(?).
"Good. Everything is going according to plan." Replied Someone(?).
"After all we will crush them like the INSECTS they are." Replied Someone. His eyes lit red with resentment. The area shook with his power. He would unleash total mayhem unto the world.
?, Iceberg
"My people. We have been oppressed for far too long. Now it is our time to rise. Rise against all the injustice. This Rebelli- no Revolution will succeed. We shall undo all the injustice. We shall rise like the 'Phoenix ', from its ashes we shall create a new empire, where all are equal, where no one is mistreated for where they were born, for something they cannot control. We will rise. That is my oath." said Someone(?).
People that had gathered around him cheered for him. For their new emperor.
"The revolution will begin in a month. Everybody must be ready because this is about to be a bloodbath" said that Someone.
?, Pergrande,
Deep within the depths of a gigantic mountain lay a hidden '?'. It glowed with power as something deep within it resonated. The mountain shook furiously as though an earthquake had just occurred. Then It abruptly stopped.

"The wheels of fate have begun to turn. Only time will decide what the result will be. Will the world crumble as we know it? Will it survive the catastrophe that is to befall this planet?" said Someone(?).
"A Siege, a Revolution and a Plan. Will they succeed?" pondered that Someone.
He/she began to walk away as the sun behind him/her fell below the horizon. The world was consumed by the darkness of the night.
Author's Note:
So, dropping hints like Crae Mate. This chapter was to increase and build suspense. That was my motive. By giving vague hints and clues. I have given basic gist of what will happen in each continent. To actually understand you'll have to read further when I post.
