Sorry for the long wait, but here is the next chapter! I really hope you guys enjoy this!

Bolt's POV

It has been a week now since Tormenta's scent and Levy's disappearance. So far, not one piece of information has made it into our hands and it's driving all of us crazy. Natsu, fire lizard, has not been himself. What I heard from his cold friend was that he usually is up for a fight by anyone. Recently, however, he tends to exclude himself from that fighting group and if anyone dares to come up to him, he takes them down with a strike and a cold stare. Not one single word comes out of his mouth while so.

Laxus is gone as usual, but for different purposes. He left the town to search for information relating to the situation. His group begged to join him, but he shut them out and left. He left 4 days ago. Not one word of information about him arrived. Iron Dragon Slayer guy has been at libraries recently along with the Twin Dragon Slayers.

As for myself, I have been at Levy's place, trying to find something important that Levy's could have left as info. When I take a break from research, I clean the library and end up cleaning the entire apartment, like now. I have taken a 20 minute break and I'm using the time to wash the dishes in the kitchen sink. I have replaced most of the bedroom wall back to how it was, cleaned up the mess from the sleepover party more than a week ago, and began taking Levy's role in the place. Since I do not have any place to sleep other than the woods, I have began to live at Levy's place. I was not very comfortable with resting in her room, so I slept on the couch at the library. There were a few conflicts between the girls and I about me being here, but sooner or later, it will-

"Bolt Dreyar!" The armored scarlet woman slams the door open and the cup I was cleaning dropped to the floor and broke. I stare at the pieces with horror.

"When do you plan on leaving this room?!" She shouted. I glare at her and growl, "When do you plan on using the door more quietly?" She blinks a couple of times and her usual cold glare then resumes.

"What did you say?"

"I said-" A winged sword zooms right at me and I dodge it swiftly, making the sword hit the wall. Keeping my eyes on her, I pluck out the sword and throw it to the ground in front of her. As she slowly picks up her sword, I pick up the broken pieces of the cup and dump it to the trash.

While I am throwing the crumbs, "Found anything about the girls?"

"Not since the day they left. All we know was that it was a last minute planned year-long training and that the training included dragons. There seemed to have a portal opened where it lead to where the dragons were in the center of the woods. I believe because their hidden power and scent was immense, it triggered us to where the portal was at." I say.

Crossing her arms, the armored scarlet responds, "Hm. That's odd."

"What? Did you guys figure something out?" I ask. A spark of hope washed my entire body. She stays silent for a moment, closes her eyes, and then opens her mouth to speak.

"I wonder why it only triggered the dragon slayers. If pressure of a dragon were nearby, everyone in the entire town would have felt it. Master would have felt it. The royal troops would be here by now investigating the dragon pressure. However, no one excluding you dragon slayers have sensed anything like that." She does have a valid point there

I pondered for a bit on the thought, "Maybe, its because we are more connected to a dragon than others. I mean it was only for a brief moment. It would've taken a while for its presence to be known to anyone except us slayers."

Scarlet had something that she wanted to say. "Spit it out." I said to her. "I am not completly sure but what if...what if the girls are connected to this scent somehow. They couldn't have known where the portal would have opened. There was no coincidence for them to find the place. That training they were speaking of… "

"You think that the dragons took them in?"

Scarlet only nodded her head ever so slightly. "That can't be it. Dragons take infants in, it's a lot easier for them to learn and stick to it. Unlike us, adults, that have already learned our magic and stick to it. We don't have the capacity to learn a new magic without it taking years."

"But Lucy and Levy wielded the capacity to absorb knowledge like a sponge. Although their magic was not on top, their information on a diverse level is at the top. Lucy being a former heiress thought by the very best people of all Fiore and Levy being a solid script mage, books, scripts and learning is Levy's central magic. It could take us years because we are only absorbing our own magic skill, but for those two girls, I would say it would taking them months to learn a new magic."

"So, you are saying dragons that disappeared about 14 years ago, came back to train Lucy and Levy?"

"Seven years ago, we were almost killed by a dragon in Tenrou. The reason we froze was because of Acnologia and the First master, Mavis." That is when it hit me. When I look up at her, she has the same expression I do.

Then I ask the million-dollar questions "What if Acnologia was the one that took them? What if it was a trap for them to harm them, not to train them?"

Levy's POV

Taking a deep breath, I stared at the bedroom door as I heard it know with a slight, "Wake up, Levy. Breakfast is ready."

There was no argument that Lucy was Layla's daughter, were too much alike, but there is something different about the two. I can't really put my finger on it, though. I remembered how Jude looked like whenever he was passing by or by a picture that Lucy carried with her. She looks absolutely nothing like Jude. Hmm. Sure, both of them have the same hair color, but nearly everything about Layla is passed down genetically to Lucy. Even the personality.

"Coming! Let me change and I'll be there in a jiffy!" I say. She answered with an alright before walking away. Into what I can assume that she's walking away.

On the pearl table seven sets of plates, silverware, and cups were neatly placed all around while the varieties of food were at the very center. I was wondering why so much food was displayed when the doorbell ranged. Before I had time to react, Lucy was running to the front door, in pyjamas. I followed at a slow, steady pace.

When I reached the door, I find a group of people standing before Lucy. One of them was definitely Layla. Beside her was a beautiful woman no older than 30 years with planets of different colors and sizes circling above her head like a halo. Behind her was a muscled, bald man with a scary face, arms crossed. On the other side was a man with long red locks. He had two scars on his face; one formed as an "X" on his right cheek and the other going across his right eye. The man looked like he was on his 30s and had a small beard forming on his chin. To his left was a nicely muscled guy around his 30s as well with fire dancing on his head like it was his hair. He was not one least worried about it and grinned when he noticed my expression.

"Yes, this is my hair, cupcake. Don't worry about it, it doesn't hurt one bit." He says. Something about his voice made him familiar. I just couldn't put my finger in it.

"Where is the other one?" Lucy asks. There are more people coming in? She knew they were going to come?

"Jade was planning to come but switched places with two other people else because he remembered he had plenty of work to finish at the fighting arena. The guys should be arriving soon." The bald man stated.

"While we wait for them, why don't we go inside? I smell good breakfast being served." Said the excited, beautiful woman. She looks nice and interactive. Everyone nods and goes inside. I watch them walk inside and make their way into the dining table. I glance back at Lucy curiously. "Who are they?"

She looks back troubled and sighs, "They are the dragons in their human form." The red haired man is Igneel, Bald one is Rock Dragon, Atlas Flame is the guy with hair on fire, and as for the charming woman with halo planets, I have no clue." They are the dragons? How did Lucy know about this? Did she and her mother talk together and I didn't realize this happening?

"No, Levy, she didn't say anything. You could tell there is some sort of resemblance with their dragon form and their human form. Also, their magic signature is closely familiar with the one of the dragon slayers." She answered my question. But, now that I realized they do resemble the dragon slayers to an aspect, the closest I could compare it to would be their attitudes.

"I see." Was all I could muster before I asked another question at Lucy, "Who's the woman with the halos then?"

Lucy looked at head at the skipping woman. "I am not entirely sure, but I know she was present when the dragons gathered. Her magic seems close enough to mine and Jellal, so she must have magic related to Celestial magic." She said thinking.

"So, a Celestial dragon, right?"

"That is my highest guess. But, I could be wrong, there's plenty of magic that relates to the heavens like the basic elements. Rain comes from the sky, lightning, light, and so much more. The heavens has a lot varieties of magic which is why Celestial magic is so rare and so diverse just like script. In a matter of writing a word, you have an element or anything at your command." Lucy explained further, "Celestial magic allows me to be more of a tactician than a fighter, I can come up with a plan within a matter of minutes, and place everyone according to their magic."

"It makes sense. You have multiple contracts to keep in mind and remember their abilities. When fighting an opponent you have to know who is best for the job, and act accordingly." I said understanding that Lucy's magic is indeed very strong. I know for a fact that it takes immense energy to just open a single gate, twice as much for a gold gate, and keeping them out for long periods of time. Imagine every time their spirit ues magic its her magic being used as an attack. Wow. I've never really understood her magic, meaning there isn't many books on it.

I looked at my best friend from the sides not drawing attention that I was staring. I grew sad thinking how her team didn't let her do certain things. When it came to battle, I knew that she was treated as the damsel in distress because her lack of physical and magical strength. Lucy was indeed one of the strongest people that I have ever meet, I just wish they deemed her as such. I, on the other hand, was different than Lucy, my magic was truly based on books. Something that's pretty important but when it comes to combat, I am useless unless we have to defeat ancient enemies and such. That's when I play a critical role, but besides that I only lend power to other, much like Lucy,

"Hey, don't go thinking that I am stronger and be treated weaker, or pointing out your flaws. This is why we are here, we are here to become stronger. To not being left out or frown upon. We came to show everyone that we can just be as strong as them if we dedicate ourselves. We'll go to the top, you'll see." Lucy said with one of her best pearly white smiles. I looked at her and couldn't help but smile back, she has brighten up my mood. Motivated me to show those haters that I am strong.

"You were always strong, Levy. Whenever we were stranded in the middle of nowhere and the dragon slayers needed a power boost, who was the one supplying them with that energy? You did. You may not have been a strong root, but you still are a root that a tree needs to be able to drink sufficient water. Without it, the tree doesn't get the sufficient water that it needs to work." Lucy explained as she gave me a side hug.

"How did you know what I was saying?" I questioned her. She giggle slightly, "Levy, I've been having those same thoughts every time I was captured, tortured and saved. How I could be stronger? How can I help my nakama? All of those ran through my head, so I know what it looks like. Beides, I'd be a shitty best friend, if I didn't know."

I laughed at the last comment of her, "True." I couldn't help thinking that Lucy will help me, motivate me to push harder than I have. Hopefully, we can both do the same to one another, "Just wait for us Fairy Tail, we'll be stronger than ever."

"Ladies, as you know, you are here to train. We are giving you the opportunity to chose your dragon slayer magic, of your choice. Along with your secondary magic that will be later revealed." Layla said as we sat down on our seats. The Rock Dragon and Atlas Flames have already begun on their meal served before them while the rest

"Why would we need secondary magic?" Lucy asked before I could, but I could only nod my head as a 'same.'

"Dragon Slayer magic, comes with certain consequences when using too much, Lucy. That's why we'll supply you a second magic to avoid y'all the suffering consequences. Besides, in Earth there are many unidentified creatures roaming, having an adaptation magic will surely help you on your upcoming battles." Informed Lucy's mother before speaking again, "Any thoughts for your dragon slayer magic?"

I didn't know what kind of magic I wanted to have, but it seemed Lucy did know. "I don't want to stop using my spirits. I'd like to take them on a journey with me to get stronger, together. I want to try out Celestial Dragon slayer magic." She said determined of her choice.

Layla smiled at her and nodded at her choice of magic. "You'll do excellent. You have already celestial magic, so it should be a lot easier to train you. However, you are a holder type, hm."

"I've managed to cast Urano Metria on my own…" Lucy said thoughtfully.

The beautiful woman with the halo planets on her head looked at Lucy in surprise. "Urano Metria is one of the top 5 spells of Celestial magic. Being a holder and being able to cast is something that no one manages to be able to do it." She said before speaking up, "Layla, I would like to train Lucy, if I may."

Lucy started to cough violently, but no one paid attention. "You may do so, Astra." As Layla gave her a smile in which Astra bowed her head slightly as in gratitude. "What about you Levy? Any magic you may have in mind?" Layla asked me.

I pondered on the thought and my mind couldn't stop going to that one beautiful dragon I had seen yesterday. What was his name? Or his magic? The air was thick, c'mon think, Levy. "There was that one dragon I saw fly above us with an admiral hue scales a couple days ago. He had strong, sharp wings that blended with the night sky."

I heard a male voice pop in. "Is she talking about Gael?"

Gael? Gael! Yes, that was his name. "Yes! That's him!"

The man with fire as hair stopped eating and looked at me with serious eyes. "Gael is the gravity dragon. There's two sides to his magic. I don't think you'd be able to do it, little one. His magic is pretty tough to learn much like Celestial, but Lucy has it down and knows the basic of it. Physically teached by him is nearly impossible. " He said as he tried to talk me out of it.

I stared at him quite offended, then my facial expression darkened. I smirked and responded back with my hand out for a shake, "Challenge accepted."

Before Atlas had the time to respond, two people had entered the kitchen, female and male. The male with admiral hair color replied questioningly, "Are you sure you want to accept that kind of challenge? There is no going back once you have decided."

I stare at both of them quite surprised of their aura. Calm but their strength breaks the rules of impossibility. I should be afraid of them from such amount of power and strength, but instead I answer determinedly, "Yes."

What happened next shocked all of us. The man walks up to where I sit, kneels down beside Lucy and lowers his head. Forearm resting on his leg and the other placed across his chest formally, he mutters something softly that only could enter my ears, "It would be an honor to be of service and train you, Lady Levy." I could do nothing but stare at his dark hair. Bangs covering his emotionless yet kind face. Half of his hair from the sides pulled back to a ponytail that made him look like of some royal bloodline.

"Bold move you had under your sleeves, didn't you, Gael?" Remarked the Rock Dragon. Gael slowly raises his head and his silver pure eyes stare deep into my soul. He removes his arm from his leg and raises it before me, asking permission to take mine. Hesitantly, I move to place my hand on his palm when I hear Igneel shout. When I place my hand on his, everything goes black.
