"Why do you think the Magic Council wants to see you guys?" Lisanna asked as they just got off the train in Magnolia.
"Whatever it is it can't be good." Gabriel replied, grabbing her hand.
"Man this is a drag." Forrest complained. As they headed back to the guild Lucy had an uneasy feeling, like something bad was awaiting them. "Lucy?" She came out of thought to look up at Natsu's worried face. "I'm alright." Natsu did not look convinced but did not push it; he gave her a reassuring smile that she loved.
"Hi guys." Romeo greeted, standing outside of the guild. "How was it?"
Sara shrugged. "Boring as usual." Gray chuckled. When they stepped in they were greeted by everyone else.
"I wish I could have seen." Levy commented when Lucy told her about the library. "If only I could." Lucy giggled. After the Dark Knights Master forbid her from using that mirror magic trick, saying it was an invasion of privacy and though helpful, not something that Fairy Tail needs access to. "I'll have to take you there."
"The keys?" Makarov asked.
Gabriel took the two off Lucy's ring and showed him. "We collected the first two."
"Why were we called back?" Sidell asked, wanting to get down to business.
Makarov nodded to Mirajane who turned on the communication lacrima. It projected a large screen where Quil appeared, wearing white robes. "Good afternoon, thank you for joining me on such short notice." The hybrids gasped; Sara narrowed her eyes.
"What is this about?" Gabriel asked to draw attention from Sara's behavior. Gray though had noticed.
"Yes. I would like to discuss the recent warning that was given about this Heaven dragon and the boy Draven Stonger. You say that he is also a hybrid who plans to release this dragon on the world with keys that are around Fiore."
"Correct. We already possess two of the keys and still need to obtain two more. Also we do not have an idea where the Heaven dragon is held. Our first priority is getting the keys and hopefully luring Draven and his Knights into a trap."
Quil tapped his chin, deep in thought. "This does not set well. After all these attacks around Fiore the council is getting anxious to find the culprit. The council is not pleased to know that dragon magic is being used without a full understanding of what it is."
"What understanding?" Forrest took a step closer to the screen. "Dragon magic is just like dragon slayer magic. We just have a higher capacity than them."
"Forrest." Sidell pulled Forrest behind him. "What we are meaning to say is that dragon magic is not complicated one bit. It is magic that has been passed from our parents."
"The council still wants control of the situation."
"I don't care what the council wants." Everyone looked back at Sara. She walked up and slammed her hands on the bar table in front of Gabriel and Sidell. She glared up at her father. "Dragon magic, or any magic, is not easily controlled. We are doing our best to stop anymore destruction from happening but we cannot do that if you even try to get in our way. We asked to put a warning to the council just in case something goes wrong. Now can we please be done with this so we can continue our mission?"
Gray was frozen. He was worried about Sara, never seeing her this angry. He remembered what Forrest said, about them keeping secrets, and he knew that something had to do with their human parents. "On that note," Gabriel started as Lucy gently pulled Sara away. "The situation is being handled. If any incident, you will be notified quickly to prepare for an attack."
Quil looked a bit disturbed to Gray but he nodded. "There is one more thing I would like to ask if you don't mind."
"What is that?"
"When dragon magic first came out in the open the council did not think to tally how many could actually use this type of magic because you stated there were three of you."
"Correct. Of course now there are four."
"I wish to ask, are these two also dragon hybrids?" Sidell and Gabriel went wide-eyed when he held up a picture of Jayde and Jaron. "By your expressions I assume that they are."
"What do you want with them?" Sidell asked.
"These two are a part of the Magical Archive branch for the Fiore king. Is there any way they could have known about the recent activities?"
"We went to ask if they would help us stop Draven. They refused us and sent us on our way but not before helping us get information about where the keys might be." Quil sighed. "Why do you ask?"
"Yesterday, there was an explosion in the city of Crocus, in the Archives underneath the library. That is where the branch keeps their documents." Sidell gasped.
"What of Jayde and Jaron?" Lucy asked, worried.
Quil frowned. "Their bodies were not found but there still is a lot of rubble that has to be dug up."
Sidell began shaking. "No. Not Jayde."
"Sid." Forrest put his hand on his shoulder.
"That's impossible." Sara said. "Jaron is stronger than Draven. He could not have lost."
"You forget Silas and Shouta. Jayde could never win against their tag team. If all three fought. I don't see how they could have won."
"Draven must have known that Jaron would have a key. That or he would at least have some information about them."
"Jayde must have known they were coming. That's why she gave me their key." Sidell clenched his fists. "Damn it"
"Sara," Sara looked up, still in shock. "I want you to be safe but if this continues then we will consider this magic a threat and we will detain all of you until the situation is handled." Quil turned to Gabriel. "I want you all to stay in Magnolia and request the information about the last two keys. The Magic Council will take this under our supervision in capturing Draven Stonger. Any refusal to cooperate we will take not only all of you into custody but the respected guilds you reside in." Lucy gasped, all this just to have some type of control over Draven? Are they mad? Do they know something we don't?
Gabriel sighed and began telling Quil the information they gathered. "Thank you for telling we will begin the search today for the remainder two. Please stand by and await updated news. That is all and thank you for your time." The lacrima shut down.
No one knew what to say. "So…what the hell happened?"
"Simple. We were taken off the mission." Sidell replied. "The council must really fear this upcoming threat."
"They're going to get themselves killed." Sara growled. "How do they think they are going to stop him?"
"This is the Magic Council Sara. As much as we would like to believe we are on top they are still able to detain us. There is a slight chance they can overcome Draven, Silas, and Shouta with their numbers." Gabriel said.
"No they can't. If Shouta turns into a dragon they will be no match and if Draven uses his Nightmare Manipulation then no one will be able to stop him."
"Sara calm down." Lucy put her hands on her shoulder. "I know your upset but now is not the time."
Sara glanced at her and shrugged her off. "Not the time? That stupid old man does not have any clue what they are walking into and if Draven succeeds then it will be all his fault."
"SARA." Lisanna eyes went wide as she had never seen such an angry face on Gabriel before. Gray quickly moved himself in between the two. "Can we all just calm down for a moment." Seeing Gray Gabriel calmed down but Sara was still tense. "Sara?"
"I HATE THIS." She turned and stormed out.
"Sara wait." Gray called, running after her. "Gray." Gray paused for a moment and looked back at Gabriel. "You'll finally get your answers." Gray gasped before running out of the guild.
