The basement of the Fairy Tail headquarters has been turned into an amusement centre which is located downstairs. It is a relatively large room with brick walls and the lower parts consisted of long horizontal wooden planks and a wooden ceiling with stone pillars carved in the walls sustaining it. It contained a pool table, a dart board, video games, and other entertainments. It also has a few tables were Laxus, Jet, Droy and Romeo were currently eating and drinking.
While A few members including were having blast inside of the amusement centre Shadow himself was inside of the shooting range and was firing at multiple targets and hitting the targets in many spot but rarely hitting the target centre as they kept heading up and down as he was firing his already drawn duel modified Beretta's. Before too long however Team Natsu which included Erza, Natsu, Gray, Ikaruga and Happy along with Team Britannia members Ahsoka and Lucy had already arrived and entered the shooting range.
"Am sorry to interrupt Shadow but we are given an urgent mission which we must complete." Erza said
Shadow stopped firing and holstered his duel modified Beretta's before turning around and facing Erza, Natsu, Gray, Ikaruga, Happy, Ahsoka and Lucy.
"So what is urgent mission we relived?" Shadow said
"We have reports that Veronica is under attack by an unknown force and is located just in the mountains north of Fiore." Ikaruga replied
"Then does that mean that we are heading into unknown territory." Lucy replied back
"That right as normal we would not even consider going to Veronica but we can't turn a blind eye to this report." Natsu and Happy said
"Well then let's move as Veronica could soon be nothing more than a wasteland!" Ahsoka shouted
Fairy Tail Building is extravagantly different from the former building while it retain the pyramid shape of the former building which consisting of three floors this one strongly resemble a castle in appearance having battlements on top of its two upper floor while the ground floor has a more Western-looking roof than the former building and consisted of many small square tiles of different sizes. Over the battlements are several lined up large torches. Topping the building and the last floor is a small tower-like dome containing a large bell which has a pointed roof made of tiles with two more towers at both sides of the entrance and as elongated glass windows running through them and weathercocks shaped like Fairy Tail's symbol on their tile tops. The front part of the top floor houses a large banner with the guild's insignia on it, while two smaller banners placed at its sides, some meters away from it bears a respectively emblem of the Magic Council's emblem and is an unknown symbol. The top floor seems to be the most bare, while the middle front walls are intricately decorated and sport a pair of ornamental windows. The ground floor's roof bears a highly decorative balustrade on its top and the floor itself possesses many small windows lined up in front of the walls together with wood reinforcements while its edges bear large rectangular wood beams. Surrounding the headquarters is a fence composed of stone overtopped by decorated railing, with some pillars over-topped by torches on its length and an open gate giving access to the guild this possess an upper part covered in tiles with railing below it and barely resemblances an open portcullis with a large sign bearing the guild's name with ornated decorations above it including a pair of detailed statues of fairies each wearing a dress and possessing a pair of wings and elongated ears sitting on their heads. In front of the building inside the fence is an open air cafe containing a little over two dozen tables each complete with a pair of benches at its sides and with some of them bearing striped beach umbrellas. There is also a small Souvenir Shop to the left of the entrance were Laxus and Gajeel were current located and composed of bricks and sporting a wood counter with Max Alor behind it. Lined up at the building sides are two lines of trees the ones farther from the entrance seem to be way taller than the others and appearing from behind the balustrades of the ground floor.
Laxus and Gajeel looked on as Team Natsu and Team Britannia had finely lefted the fairy tail guild building with Shadow himself standing in centre of streets as his witches ears and tail came out as he said "Ice sprit hear my call, I summon thee, awaken Ice Dragon of oblivion." And summon the ice dragon of oblivion which arose with its appearance similar to an oblivion dragon expect made of ice.
"Please climb board master and I shall take to Veronica." Ice dragon said
"At least this way we may be able to save Veronica." Erza replied
Team Natsu and Team Britannia began to board the ice dragon of oblivion and a short while later after boarding the ice dragon of oblivion it took off from Magnolia Town and headed towards Veronica.
"Well let's just hope that a dark guild is behind these attacks because otherwise it would seem we may have threat to deal with." Ahsoka said
Veronica is a small country located in the mountains north of Fiore and the only country is independent and is currently ruled by Cream the prince of Veronica.
After a while at the entrance to mountain and just before the Fire village the ice dragon of oblivion landed down before it disappeared just as Shadow's witch's ears and tail disappeared.

Her body is adorned with jewellery such as golden bangles worn around the wrists of both her both arms and gold brassards worn on the middle of both her upper arms as well as gold anklets worn above her ankles and brown sandals.
"So are you one who sent an urgent requested to us." Erza said
"I am Priestess Éclair and yes I sent an urgent request because Prince Cream with our small military is current trying to defend fire village from unknown dark looking army." Éclair replied
"Then it would seem that heading straight into battle with this unknown force." Shadow replied back
"Am sorry that I bought straight into battle before you even seen our palace." Éclair said
Ahsoka then used her heighten Force sense for a few seconds
"Well then I say we move
"Ahsoka's right as the sooner we complete this mission the soon we can return to fairy tail." Natsu and Gray replied

The dark forces were still out numbing the village 10 to 1 just as Éclair who had Happy flying above her arrived with Team Natsu and Team Britannia but immediately has they arrive Erza said "Requipped." And Requipped into her Lightning Empress armor. This armor is golden and light bluish in colour.

Also, the armours' weapon is a long spear, with a very large blade and a decorated circle resembling a shield attaching it to the shaft, which is adorned by a large ribbon and immediately fired her Lightning Beam from the tip of the armours' towards the dark forces.
"Alright attack and defend fire village!" Erza shouted
Following from Erza Team Natsu and Team Britannia rushed and began to engage in battle with the dark forces soliders who were attacking with their equip darkness sword as well firing their darkness beams.
