Chapter 12
"Natsu?" Looking past the group, Natsu saw a woman with scarlet hair, covered in armour. He almost dropped Nashi in surprise.
"Erza?" Natsu had to blink back a few tears. The woman dropped her sword, covering her mouth with her hands. Natsu slowly put his daughter down, eyes never moving from the woman.
"Natsu!" Erza Fernandez cried, running towards the man. She forced him into a hug, slamming his head against her armour with a dull thud. "It's you!"
"Erza!" Everyone else cheered, gathering round their old friend. One by one, they were left with minor headaches as the were slammed into her armoured chest.
"Shouldn't you be at the guild?" Gray smiled, rubbing his head.
"I should be, but I was asked to patrol the area." Erza nodded. "I saw a blast of smoke go up into the air and came running. Guess it was you lot."
"These two actually." Lucy pointed at Nashi and Storm.
"So grown up." Erza gasped, kneeling before them.
"Aunt Erza!" Gale said happily, giving the woman a hug.
"Hello Gale, haven't you grown to be a pretty lady." Erza smiled. "You as well Nashi. You look really strong. Kai and Storm too, you two look like you're growing into powerful men. Awww, little Lucas and Yuki as well."
"We aren't little anymore." Lucas said proudly, putting his hands on his hips.
Erza laughed. "That's true."
"How's Sylvie?" Storm asked.
"She's doing well, training hard at the moment." She responded. She stood and faced the parents. "After you left, the whole guild did extra training to get even stronger. We aren't the Fairy Tail you left."
"You better be stronger!" Natsu said.
"Of course." Erza grinned.
Less then two hours later, everyone had arrived in Magnolia. The city had seen tough times over the years, but it was still the same. A few new shops, the it was busy as ever. Mira and Levy wanted to stop and check out everything knew, while the guys just wanted to head straight to the guild.
"Check out all of that later." Natsu complained. "Look, I see the guild. Everyone hurry!" They did so and ran towards the closed double doors. Natsu and Nashi kicked them open with a yell.
"WE'RE BACK!" They bellowed. Everyone in the guild froze to look at the pair, then the group behind them.
"They're back." Wendy whispered.
"Happy..." Carla gasped.
"THEY'RE HOME!" Everyone roared. The families we're swarmed with the guild members, each being thrown into a hug by new and old faces. Almost everyone broke into tears at the sight. But no one was more happy then the master.
"Welcome home guys." Gildarts welcomed.
"Hey old man." Natsu smirked. "Where's the master?"
"You're looking at him." Gildarts smirked back.
"You?" Gray questioned.
"It's him." Makarov walked up from the bar, looking grim. "I got sick of you kids making a ruckus. So much paperwork. I had enough. The new guild master is Master Gildarts."
"Promotion, good job." Gajeel praised.
"Not sure how I'll handle it thought." Gildarts replied truthfully. "Now, where are the troublemakers."
In an instant Kai stepped forwards, followed by the rest of the kids.
"There they are." Gildarts bent down and studied them. "Let's see if I remember... Storm, Kai, Lucas, Gale, Nashi and Yuki!"
"Correct!" Lucas shouted.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet some people." Erza said, pointing towards two girls. One was around Nashi's height, covered in armour with red hair fading to blue at the tips. The other had short blue hair and wore a white shirt covered with a blue jacket. She work black trousers and had an earring.
"You remember Sylvie, of course. The other is my daughter, Jessie." Nashi instantly dropped her stuff and tackled Sylvie into a hug, who returned it.
"Good to see you." She smiled.
"And you." Nashi nodded.
"There's more!" Wendy added. Next to her was a small boy with dark blue hair. He was holding tightly to Romeo's hand.
"You two had a kid?" Lucy asked. Wendy nodded.
"This is Cress." Romeo introduced the boy.
"He's so cute." Juvia squealed.
The whole time, Natsu was just grinning at the place he missed. "We made it back."
Another short chapter, but I feel like they work with this story. The main plot will be coming in like two chapters, so just hold on. I also think I've introduced too many characters. I have to write about Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Juvia, Levy, Gajeel, Mira, Laxus, Nashi, Storm, Gale, Kai, Lucas, Yuki, Sylvie, Jessie, Cress. Talk about overload! Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed! See you next week!
