The sky above Tenrou Island had changed from a clear vibrant blue to a dull lifeless grey. And that expressed most of what the Fairy Tail members felt after regrouping from Grimoire Heart's surprise attack on their S-class trials. Everyone was in low spirits, most of their members, their friends, had been hurt for some ridiculous reason called the 'Ultimate Magic World' where every person incapable of using magic was sentenced to death. Even Master Makarov had almost been killed by a man called Hades, Grimoire Heart's Master.
The only compensation was that Grimoire Heart hadn't kicked all their asses; Natsu had managed to take down a Fire God-Slayer named Zancrow, and Loke was able to beat a man who had possessed the Celestial Spirit Capricorn for the better part of 17 years. Juvia even managed to take down a pink haired Sensory Mage by the name of Meredy and brought her to camp so she wouldn't die from hypothermia during the rain that was now pounding, explaining that she was just a confused and misunderstood child.
Even though they were down and hurt, Fairy Tail wasn't one to give up easily. They looked at it this way, at least things couldn't get worse.
Suddenly from the sky the clouds began to split apart and a new structure appeared in the air.
It was a strange object, it had rock formations sticking out from random places and the only reason you could tell it was coming other than the parting clouds was the black castle standing at what one could presume to be the top of a 'ship'. And that wasn't even the weirdest thing, the shape of the incoming projectile, it was... a cube?
Such troll, I know. XD
