One week had passed since the group was brought back to the guild. Since then, everything seemed to be back to normal - well, as normal as it could get. Hibiki and Eve were asked to stay at Fairy Tail for a while to act as reinforcement because of the looming threat on the three wizards. The group was advised by Makarov that they shouldn't go on any job requests until this ordeal was over. They hated the fact that they were basically sitting ducks, waiting for the enemy to make his move, but they knew that they really didn't have a choice in the matter. Even so, the three wizards continued to train at the guildhall in order to keep themselves sharp. While the three were doing their training, Makarov approached them with a serious aura about him.
"Hey, what's up Gramps?" Zola asked casually.
"Well, there is something very serious that I must discuss with you kids." said the Fairy Tail guild master humorlessly.
"Oh, okay." Aria replied concernedly as all three stopped what they were doing.
"Levy and I searched through the Fairy Tail archives, and we were able to figure out why this enemy wants you three."
"Well, then spit it out Gramps." Zola said anxiously.
"It is because you are the reincarnation of three of the ancient elementals, and the person that kidnapped you covets that ancient magic power."
"What does it mean to be an 'elemental' exactly?" Kai asked.
"It means that you are the literal embodiment of your magic's element."
"How do you know this for sure, Master? I mean, up until now, we had never knew about any of this, so how can this be true?" Aria inquired calmly.
"In all actuality, I had a feeling from the time the three of you entered the guild. I could sense the ancient power of your magic energies, whether you knew it or not. I also suspect that the person who kidnapped you is most likely the water elemental, and he probably wants your powers to become the ruler of all the elements." Makarov explained.
"So, what should we do now?" Zola asked desperately.
"The smartest thing to do is for you three to stay at the guildhall until we can defeat this enemy." Makarov stated, and then he went back into the guildhall, leaving the three elementals in shock. For the next few days, the three elementals remained in the guildhall for protection. The members of the Fairy Tail quickly found out about the three being the reincarnated elementals of legends, and thought it was pretty amazing that they had power like that in their guild and didn't even know. It was especially unbelievable for Natsu, Lucy, and Laxus to know that their younger siblings had this type of power all this time. Laxus even rushed back to Fairy Tail to help out his little sister once word of the situation got out. Hibiki and Eve contacted Blue Pegasus to give them an update on the situation, and Bob gladly gave them permission to stay at Fairy Tail until this enemy was defeated.
As the elementals were training in one of the back rooms of the guildhall, the other members and allies were trying to think of a way to defeat this enemy and keep the elementals safe. Suddenly, an explosion was heard from the back training room. Clearly worried, all of the wizards ran to the back to see what had happened. However, when they got there they saw a cloaked figure standing in the room and Aria, Zola, and Kai trapped in an orb of dark magic. The figure stood next to a large hole in the wall - which they concluded must've been the cause of the noise they heard.
"Let them go!" Natsu exclaimed as he charged at the figure thoughtlessly, but was sent flying into a far wall with dark-water magic.
"White Fury!" Eve casted his spell, but it was quickly absorbed by the figure. Many of the other wizards started shooting off attacks at the intruder, but they were all in vain as he continued to deflect each of their attacks.
"This is getting tiresome." the intruder complained as he concentrated his magic into his hand, setting off a blast that hit all the wizards in the guild and forced them all to the ground. None could stand after a blast like that, but it strangely did little damage to the building itself, like it was made to just hit the wizards and nothing else.
"Wh-Who are you!?" Makarov shouted angrily at the cloaked figure.
"I am Anzu, soon-to-be God of this world!" the figure replied blankly as he disappeared along with the three elementals.
