Hey guys! I have the next chapter for you. Please leave a review, and thanks!


Alessia POV

"Alessia." I heard as I slowly woke up. "Alessia wake up." I opened my eyes, and found the entire Dragon Council hovering around me. I noticed Draco, and gave him a toothy grin.

"Hey, how've ya been, dad?" He gazed at me, and replied

"I've missed you, Alessia." Then he saw my outfit. "You're wearing those wretched clothes again!" I giggled at his reaction, then remembered what had happened before I was pulled here.

Laxus had asked me out! And told me that I had made him a better person! I smiled to myself, then frowned. I can't let him get in the way of my quest. My heart froze in my chest, and I was instantly depressed. I have never wished that I didn't have this quest more than I did at this moment. If I didn't then I could be with Laxus, but I will not let my family down.

Draco must have been listening to my thoughts, because he growled at me.

"Alessia! Why are you thinking that you cannot be with this boy? Do you think that we will not let you have a mate because of this quest?" He told me. My eyes widened. Did he mean..?

"I thought that I couldn't let anything distract me from my job." I stated.

"We meant not to fool around when we told you that. A mate is a serious matter, and I would never tell my daughter to deny herself her mate because of a quest, no matter it's importance! A mate is a person that makes you complete, and you will only get weaker if you deny that person. A mate makes you stronger! They are your other half, and I will never make you choose a quest over them. Accept your mate, Alessia. He will only make you stronger."

Tears welled up in my eyes at his declaration. Now that I know that I can be with Laxus, all the feelings I had been tamping down bubbled to the surface. I thought of his smile, and the way he comforted me when I needed it. He's always there for me when I'm suffering, and he has helped me through so much. He changed into a honorable guy for me, and I can seriously say that I am falling for him. And now when I get home, I can tell him yes.

I smiled through my tears, and hugged Draco. I wiped them away, and stated

"Ok, now let's get down to business."

"Have you discovered His whereabouts?" Igneel asked me.

"I know He is somewhere in Fiore, but I have not figured out where." I replied. "I do know that he has gained power since you have last seen him. There are stories of His evil, and many know of Him."

"That is not good." Grandeeney growled.

"But you have joined a guild, correct?" Draco verified with me.

"Yes, I have joined Fairy Tail. It is a wonderful guild full of powerful people."
"Good."

The dragon's continued to question me about what has happened, and pretty soon it was nighttime.

"Tomorrow, be here a dawn. We have training to continue." Draco told me.

"Oh yeah! That reminds me. You guys should have worked on my endurance more!" I accused.

"We will work on that tomorrow then." I nodded then went to my house.

I awoke the next morning, ready to begin training. I changed into a loose pair of cotton pants, and wrapped cotton around my bust. I would need my full range of movement. (A/N: It's kind of like what Erza wears in the Tower of Heaven, but the pants are like Natsu's.) I gathered my hair in a severe bun on the top of my head, and ate some breakfast.

I strolled towards the training ground, and prepared to be immediately attacked. As I entered, Loke and Capricorn appeared, and both began to throw punches at me. I dodged, and somersaulted over them. I immediately kicked at them when I landed, and got Loke in the chest.

I threw my fist at Capricorn, but he grabbed it. I held onto his hand that captured my fist, and chucked him across the field. Loke recovered and jumped back into the fray. They both charged me, and I jumped above them. I kicked them both as I landed, and they were sent back into the Spirit Realm.

I heard applause from behind me, and saw Metalicana smirking at me.

"It seems that living with weak humans has not made you lose any of your prowess." I just rolled my eyes at him.

"I know you don't hate humans as much as you claim. You did take up a young man named Gajeel, correct?"

"Yes, but he was a rare specimen." I smiled at the grouchy dragon, and said

"So, what are we doing today?"

"We are going to work on your endurance!" He stated in delight. I got a bad feeling, but pushed it back. I followed after him, but all I saw was a rock the size of a house.

"You are going to levitate this boulder, and carry it around all day. I don't care what you do, but if this rock falls, I am going to be very angry." I gulped at the end of his statement, then focused on the rock. I lifted it, then went to a lake to hang out. I was surprisingly able to hold the boulder up all day, but when I was done, I went home and immediately collapsed in bed exhausted.

The next morning, I decided to work my magic endurance with something else. I went to the training field, and sat down. I took out my celestial keys, and summoned all 12 of the Zodiacs. I decided to keep them out all day, a lot more work than levitating a boulder.

I practiced the next couple of day with using all sorts of magic for long periods of time. Near the end of the week, I decided to send a thought projection to Fairy Tail. I decided that would be enough work, because, quite frankly, it's hard to send a mental copy of yourself into another dimension. I sat down in my bedroom, and gathered the magic energy necessary to do it.

Mira POV

I was cleaning the bar, when I felt an intense amount of magic begin to accumulate in front of me. Everyone else in the guild felt it, and began to crowd around the bar. Suddenly, Alessia appeared in front of us. I squealed and hugged her. She hugged me too, but ruined my joy when she said

"Hey Mira, hey guys. I'm not back yet, this is only a thought projection."

"Like the one Jellal used?" I heard Lucy ask Erza. Erza's eyes widened as she realized that Alessia had made a solid thought projection.

"Alessia! How did you make a solid thought projection here from the Dragon Realm?"

"Oh, well I've been working on building my magical endurance, so this isn't as hard as it would've been earlier this week. A couple days ago I kept all of the Zodiac Celestial Spirits out for the day, the day after, I ran a couple of hours using high speed magic, and the day after that I kept an illusion up for a couple days. Oh, and yesterday I used wind magic to keep me flying all day. Metalicana was trying to be mean on my first day, and he made me lift a boulder the size of a house using telekinesis all day." We all gaped at the magnitude of her power.

I saw Gajeel walk up.

"You know Metalicana?" He growled.

"Well, duh Mr. Piercings. Let me guess, you're Gajeel." I heard her say.
"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Oh," She grinned evilly. "Metalicana was telling me some wonderful stories about you as a kid." I watched Gajeel worriedly as he began to growl again.

"Fight me!" He yelled at her.

"Now, Gajeel. She's a thought projection right now, she can't use magic." I told him. He just glared at me.

"Oh, no Mira, I can use magic. I just won't be at my full capacity. I'll fight you if you want."

The guild immediately cleared the guild hall for the fight. I was relieved that Alessia wasn't at full power. Our brand new guild hall would've been destroyed. Gajeel and Alessia faced each other, and bowed solemnly. We watched as he punched at her with his iron arm, but she just grabbed it. She swung him around, and threw him into a wall. She put magic into her hands, and used high speed to send powerful melee attacks at Gajeel. He was completely helpless, and unable to defend himself from her speed. With a blast of light she finished him off.

She turned to us, and said

"The guild looks different. What's up?" I grinned at being able to show off the new guild, again, and led her thought projection around. Soon, she sat down at the bar with Team Natsu. I listened to their story about the Tower of Heaven, and was surprised by her. She is probably the most powerful mage alive, but she seemed impressed by all the stuff that Natsu and the rest of them had done. In the middle of his story, Natsu fell asleep, still bearing the effects eating the ethernano. (A/N: Yeah, I know I probably spelled it wrong.)

Alessia and Erza set him on their laps like doting mothers, and Erza finished the story. I told her that we were going to begin preparation for the Fantasia Festival the day after tomorrow, and asked her if she would be able to make it. She said probably not.

I was sipping a smoothie, when Alessia asked

"Hey, is Laxus there?" I nearly spit out my drink. Alessia had cleared up the little misunderstanding about her dating him with us, but they were still really close. I gazed at her in suspicion when I replied

"No, he left on a job earlier, and went somewhere. No one knows where he is right now." I saw her face fall a little, and I grew even more suspicious. What is that girl hiding? She suddenly began to flicker, and she groaned.

"Crap! I was hoping for a couple more hours!" I realized that she must be running out of magic, so I called all of the guild members over to say goodbye. She told us that she would send another thought projection later, then flickered out of existence. I looked over at Gajeel as he woke up.

"Who was that girl?" He growled at me. I was still a little pissed at him for taking over my show earlier, but I replied

"That was Alessia. She is probably the most powerful mage on Earthland."

"Tch. Like that's possible." He sneered at me.

"She has learned every form of Dragon Slayer magic, God Slayer Magic, and every other type of magic out there." I boasted for her. He looked at me doubtfully, and Makarov came over too.

"It's true, Gajeel. She is very powerful." He just growled and stomped off. I turned to Master and we both shared a knowing grin. Gajeel believed us.

Alessia POV

I felt my thought projection return to me, and sat up groaning.

"You shouldn't have pushed yourself so hard, Alessia." I glared at Metalicana.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to tell you that the council is very impressed with your powers, and that they wanted to meet with you, but I saw you sending a mental projection to Fiore. That is very impressive." He said proudly. I sat up and told him

"I'll meet the council in an hour." He nodded at me and left.

I changed into a dark green dress with sheer black tights and my combat boots. I put my black leather jacket over it and a scarf, then strolled to the council room. The dragons all had serious expressions on their faces when I entered.

"Alessia, have you mastered Dragon Force?" I heard Draco ask me.

"Yes, for every Slayer magic." I replied.

"We have something we have decided to teach you because of what you have told us about He is growing in power, but first you must defeat every dragon using only that dragon's element. If you can accomplish this, we will teach you a spell to use as a last resort against Him." My eyes widened. What is so powerful about this spell that I need to defeat them all to learn it?

I nodded my assent to Draco, and he told me I would be fighting tomorrow. He handed me a potion to restore the magical energy I had used up today with my thought projection. I took it, and went back home.
