I don't own Fairy Tail. If I did, then Jellal never would have given in to the darkside, and he and Erza would have been together from episode one. I don't own the Celestial Demons either, they belong to fairytailcrossover. Vega belongs to me though, as do Dante, Bella, and her dragons. And they will continue to belong to me for the foreseeable future.

I love you guys, really, I do. But I'm twenty chapters in, and there's only 7 reveiws? I'm disappointed...

The train ride back was just as bad, if not worse, than the train ride out.

Thankfully, I wasn't alone for the full three days.

Around noon on the second day I was joined by Erza and Jellal, who were heading back to the guild after finishing a monster hunting job.

"Ah," I sighed, stretching out on my seat. "I can't wait to get off this damn train and go home!"

Erza smiled at me. "I know." She said. "It feels like forever since we left." Her eyes turned into stars. "I can't wait to taste the strawberry cake again!"

Jellal rolled his eyes with an exasperated smile. "You and your cake Erza." He sighed. "Sometimes I could swear you love that cake more than you love me!"

Erza blushed before she kissed Jellal on the cheek. "You know that's not true Jellal." She said as his face turned red.

I smirked and sat up. "So you finally got the courage to confess Jellal?" His red face turned ten shades darker as he looked anywhere except towards me. "Good for you man! I knew that you'd do it eventually!"

Let me clue you in, a couple months ago when we were out on a S-class job, Jellal told me that he'd been in love with Erza for awhile, but whenever he tried to tell her, he got interrupted. I suggested that he take Erza on a two person job, and on the ride back, confess. Looks like he took my advice.

"Well, actually-" He started...

"I confessed to him." Erza stated bluntly. I snickered at their faces.

"Well in any case I'm happy for you guys." I said, laying back again. I promptly fell asleep as the two of them cuddled closer.

The next day, we got off at Magnolia Station. Erza and Jellal stopped by the luggage cart to pick up one of their trophies.

I raised an eyebrow at the giant decorated horn that Erza promptly slung onto her back, and shook my head at the cart of luggage that Jellal was pulling. The three of us started walking down the street towards the guild, and the people around us started to whisper in excitement and curiosity.

Until I heard a scared yelp, and saw Loke full on sprinting towards the Guild Hall.

Erik's POV:

Loke slammed open the door. "We've got bad news!" He yelped, sounding panicked. "It's Erza! She's on her way here!"

Everyone else promptly started panicking. "Wow," Lucy said, watching them. "Just mention Erza and the whole place freaks out..."

"Well she is the second strongest female wizard we've got in fairy tail." Mira explained. "More than a bit intimidating..."

"Yeah," Lucy said. "Wait, SECOND strongest?" She questioned. "Then who's the first?"

"You've already met her," I said. "Vega Cosmitella." Lucy's eyes went wide as the sound of three sets of footsteps grew closer.

Vega's POV:

Erza walked in, gigantic decorated horn on her back, while Jellal and I trailed behind her.

She set it down with a crash, shaking the Guild Hall a bit. "I have returned!" She announced, standing tall and proud. "Where is Master Makarov?"

"Welcome back Erza!" Mira said, just as cheerful as ever. "The Master's at a conference right now."

"I see." She said.

"So um, what's that humungous thing you've got there?" Max Alors, one of the weaker Guild Members asked.

"It's the horn of a monster that Jellal and I defeated." She said nonchalantly. "The locals were so thankful that they decorated and gave it to us as a souvenir." She turned her sharp glare towards them. "Do you have a problem with it?"

"No not at all!" They defended.

"Hey guys!" I called out cheerfully as Jellal smiled.

"Hey Vega, hey Jellal!" They yelled back, temporarily distracted from their fear. Jellal gave a low chuckle as we moved over to the bar to watch the show. Mira set a glass of Scotch in front of me as Dante landed on my shoulder.

"Hey Vega!" He said cheerfully. "How did the Siren job go?"

I started rubbing his ears as I shrugged. "It was easier then I thought it would be, but I did get a new treasure out of it along with the reward."

"Really? Something else to add to the trophy room?" He asked, looking over me curiously.

"Can I see it?" He asked excitedly.

"Maybe later Dante." I said, letting my eyes settle back on the Guild as I relaxed.

"Vega, Natsu, Grey, Erik, I need the four of you to do Jellal and I a favor." The three of us looked to her, giving out undivided attention. "While traveling Jellal and I overheard something that has me worried. Normally I would consult with the Master before acting, but he's not here and this is a matter of utmost urgency." She turned to the boys. "The three of you are the strongest wizards here, Jellal and I have already discussed this at length, but we could really use your help." She turned to me then. "Vega, I know and understand your stance on teams, but we need someone with your kind of experience to deal with this."

Whispers of disbelief erupted all around us as I nodded in acceptance. "The five of you might become the one of the strongest teams, but I'm an SSS-Class Mage. You'll need to do it without my help. I'll go with you on this one guys, but only because you asked nicely. But if this takes a turn for the worst, I will take the lead."

"Good." She said, giving me a small smile. "We'll meet at the train station at first light. Be ready."
