It has been seven years since the destruction of Tenrou Island and the disappearance of the Fairy Tail members who went on it. Macao Conbolt is the new master and Fairy Tail was facing a major crisis as the guild's strength had diminished considerably. Twilight Ogre asked Fairy Tail about the debt they owed them, but Macao convinced them that they will be giving it next month. After that, Blue Pegasus Guild arrived and gave them good news that Tenrou Island still exist. Some members went out to find them.
While searching for Tenrou Island, they found a girl standing on the ocean. When she saw them, she brought Tenrou Island out of the ocean. Once it was out, she started floating towards the island. The members reckoned this as a sign to follow her. They followed her and found Natsu on the ground, collapsed. They tried to wake him up. When he woke up, Natsu asked everyone why they came and why do they look so aged. Alzack and Bisca found Happy buried. When Natsu asked where everybody was, the girl showed them and introduced herself as Mavis Vermilion, the first guild master of Fairy Tail. After finding everyone, Mavis then explained what had happened to them and commented on what a fine guild Fairy Tail turned out to be.
Laxus noticed Leora wearing her bandanna over her eyes. "Leora, why are you still wearing your bandanna over your eyes?" asked Laxus. "That's because she's-" Jet immediately cupped his hand over Droy's mouth, preventing him from saying more. "Leora's what?" asked Laxus in confusion. He could tell that something was wrong just by looking at everyone's faces. "I think it's best if Leora tells you herself." said master Makarov. Laxus looked at Leora silently, waiting for an answer. Everyone else kept silent as well.
"I... I got hit by a blind spell on a mission. So, I went to train in the mountains to enhance my other senses. After that training, I got a lot stronger though." said Leora. "Wait, you could see when we were back at the base. Did you find a cure?" asked Laxus. "No, not yet. It was only a temporary spell. It can only be used in critical times." explained Leora. "But back then wasn't a critical time at all." argued Laxus. "I didn't want you to know. You were travelling around. I didn't want you to come back just to take care of me. I did't want to be a burden." said Leora as she looked down to the ground.
Laxus embraced Leora without a second thought, holding her close. "You're not and you will never be. From the day you became a Fairy Tail member, I told you that I'll protect you." said Laxus. "I'm sorry..." apologized Leora, her head still looking down. "No, I'm the one who should apologize. I wasn't there to protect you when you were in danger. I couldn't keep my promise. I'm so sorry, Leora." apologized Laxus as he pulled Leora closer. "It's not your fault. Everyone knows that I always get myself in trouble whether you're there or not." said Leora with a small smile as she lifted her head. "Now, let's go back to Fairy Tail! Our home!" yelled Leora as she pumped her fist into the air. "Aye!" yelled the others, following suit.
Laxus let go of Leora to let her talk with the others. "Thanks for looking after her when I was away." said Laxus, without looking at Gajeel who was beside him. "Gihi, no need to thank me. I'll always protect my little Leo." said Gajeel with his usual grin. "Don't worry. She's still her normal self." "Ah..." replied Laxus as both of them looked at Leora happily talking with the others.
When everyone was walking towards the guild, they saw a group of men standing by the guild door. One of them was about to hit Romeo, but got kicked away but Natsu. The remaining four were all knocked down by Erza, Gray, Gajeel and master Makarov.
"We're home!" yelled Natsu with his usual grin on and a wave. "Everyone!" yelled Happy happily, jumping. "We're back." said Erza. "Wha! Isn't it wonderful?" asked Lucy, happily. "Yo." greeted Gray. "We've come back home." said Wendy while carrying Carla in her arms. "What's up wit this tiny guild?" asked master Makarov as he rubbed his chin. "Long time no see, guys!" yelled Leora happily. The others in the guild were all surprised to see their missing comrades. Lucy explained what happened to all of them.
Natsu noticed Romeo's shocked expression. "You're all grown up, Romeo." said Natsu. "Welcome back! Natsu-nii! Everyone!" yelled Romeo, smiling with tear coming down his eyes. The others were all crying as well.
They decided to celebrate their comrades return. Everyone partied all night long, as if they were making up for the lost of 7 years of time.
As a result, they kept partying night after night for two whole weeks.
