NacNak - I'm glad you're enjoying the story! Thanks for the compliment.
Blue Pegasus Guild
The 8 foot tall Majin continued to stare down at the article lying on the bar counter emotionlessly like he was in a staring competition with a statue. His attention was aimed at the two large burning words in the image, in all of its full color detail.
Fairy Tail.
But what did it mean? Was it to signal other members to gather at some place and rebuild the guild, or was it to call the members to arms, or something else. For the life of him he couldn't figure it out. The writer's input didn't shine any light on why the vandalism was caused. The only useful information that the article shows is that the fingers point to Natsu Dragneel as the vandal.
"Could that boy's brain finally been melted?" Super Gamu wondered with a mutter. Could Natsu go mad from being away from his friends for such a long time? "No…that doesn't seem right." Super Gamu finally turned his head away from the article and towards Zo on his right. "What do you think of this?"
"I don't know anything about Fairy Tail as of yet, so my input is most likely in the dark." Zo replied as he turned to face the Majin. "But, my bet is on that someone is trying to get Fairy Tail back up and running. If you want a message to get across, the best way is via the media."
"Hmm. Good point." Super Gamu turned to his left and began to walk towards the guild hall's door slowly. "I guess we can figure out the 'where and when' details when we head back to Magnolia." Zo silently followed Super Gamu.
Just before Super Gamu and Zo could reach the door, they were stopped by Master Bob still behind the bar counter.
"Please wait you two boys," he requested. The two halted and looked back to Master Bob giving a slight sorrowful expression. He looked like he was upset about what he was going to ask. "I guess this means you'll be leaving Blue Pegasus?"
Both nodded.
"I regret saying this Master Bob, but Zo and I want to leave the guild and return to Magnolia to see for our own eyes if Fairy Tail is indeed being rebuilt."
"No!"
"Please don't leave us, Super Gamu and Zo!"
"Stay with Blue Pegasus!"
The guild members truthfully pleaded the two to reconsider and stay with them in Blue Pegasus. In the past year they had really grown accustomed to Super Gamu's and Zo's alien-like appearance and even treated them like family. Something Fairy Tail would do.
"As much as I'd like to stay with you guys here, and have to stay around your childish host games," he thought to himself at the last part with despise and gestured to Zo. "I promised I would show how energetic life is among my friends in Fairy Tail, and so I have to return as well."
Master Bob nodded with a small smile on his face, though for some reason it looked like a fake one. "I understand. I'll tell Laxus and the Raijinshuu when they come back that you've gone back. Send my regards to Makarov for me, will you?"
'Not before I punch his old face in for disbanding the guild for no reason!'
"Will do, Master Bob."
"Goodbye guys," Zo two-finger saluted to the upset members, waving back and some wiping a tear from their eye.
With the final farewell as a part of the Blue Pegasus guild, Super Gamu and Zo walked out of the guild hall with their heads raised up high, removing any evidence they the two will actually miss the place. Super Gamu might not, but Zo would. It was tough for him to let go of his new friends coming to this world so easily.
As the two cleared the door, they took flight and headed towards Magnolia where a possible reunion might occur.
Magnolia
"Whoa! This takes me back!" Natsu gleefully said returning to Magnolia after his one year of secluded training with Happy to become stronger. It was his goal to become so after his adopted father, Igneel the King of Fire Dragons died by the hands of Acnologia during the Tartaros War.
"Look! They fixed the Caldia Cathedral!" Happy also said in glee.
The town almost looked like new during the war. Considering the town took bad damage with Tartaros's guild crushing buildings as if they were helpless trees to the woodcutter's axe.
"This town was in bad shape just a year ago, now look at all the hustle and bustle!" Wendy and Charle were with them and like Natsu and Happy were amazed at by how the town looks after being repaired.
These four were cheerful, except a five member among their group.
Lucy
She dragged a suitcase with all her belongings in it as she walked with the other four through the new streets of Magnolia, where she used to live before having to live in Crocus as an assistant reporter. Just walking through the streets brought back fond memories of how she joined up with Fairy Tail for the first time, all the adventures she went through with them and how she came to meet Gamu, in this very town.
Wendy noticed Lucy looking blank and empty of life. It was unlike her to show this emotion.
"Is everything okay, Lucy?" She asked.
"Huh?" Lucy snapped back to reality.
"You look a bit down."
Lucy closed her eyes and smiled with a light blush. "It's nothing, really! It's just been so long that nostalgia is overwhelming me…"
Natsu eyed Lucy whole keeping his head to the front. He knew that wasn't the reason. It was something else that's bothering her.
After a few steps, Lucy stopped while Natsu, Wendy and the two Exceeds kept walking a six steps in front of Lucy to stop. They looked behind them and saw Lucy, hesitant to walk any further.
"What's wrong, Lucy?" Happy asked.
"We're just a hop, skip and jump away from the guild…" Natsu said pointing forward.
"I… Don't think I can take another step…"
"Is it because the guild might no longer be there?"
"…"
"A build don't mean crap! The only thing that matters is what we do from here on out." Natsu encouraged looking confident and determined.
"I'm worried if everyone still feels Fairy Tail." Lucy replied sounding down in the dumps. This was the thing that bothered her. If it was okay if the former members of Fairy Tail still felt like being as a family, or if they were happier a part and do their own thing. "With you suddenly showing up like a whirlwind and declaring you'd be revive Fairy Tail… I may have gotten caught up in the emotion of the entire thing…It's been over a year, I've lost touch with most of the members… I mean, I did manage to send the letters…to the few addressed that I knew. It's easy to say that we'll gather in Magnolia to revive Fairy Tail…"
Natsu and Happy knew what she meant.
Lucy lowered her head more, only showing shadows above her nose under her hair. "But who's to say that everyone hasn't already moved past it… That it's all in their rear view mirrors now."
A brunette haired woman was walking up behind Lucy.
"We're assuming it held a special place in everyone's heart but what if… What if it's all just a hazy, distant memory for them… I…" she was on the verge of crying, but an arm around her neck holding a bottle of alcohol stopped that.
"As if we'd forget in just a year!" It was Cana and she was slightly drunk.
"Cana!" Both Natsu and Wendy said at the same time surprised to see their drunken friend.
"Yo! Natsu, Happy, Charle! Oh Wendy! Looks like you had a growth spurt…" Cana spoke away while raising her bottle while folding Lucy's left breast, to Lucy's embarrassment. "Man I missed these huge melons…" Cana cheekily said continuing rubbing.
"Cana…"
Cana let Lucy go, "I didn't just sit on my ass this past year… Figured I may as well track down Gildarts." She dug into her pocket and whipped out a white padded envelope and showed it to Lucy. "Then, low and behold, I get this letter! I'm sure it'll find its way into everyone's hands…"
"!?"
"This guild has been my life even before I could walk… I couldn't wrap my head around the whole dissolution thing… I realized I had no clue as to function outside of the guild. Truth be told, it was a much needed life experience…." She said gulping down her bottle of alcohol."
Sighing feeling quenched, she wiped her mouth with her left hand. "I think the same can be said for the others, which is probably why we haven't kept in touch… We needed someone to make the first bold move. That first person was you, Lucy."
The blond mage widened her eyes surprised and confused while Natsu looked to her with a smirk on his face.
"Follow me!" Cana forcefully grabbed Lucy's left hand and started to tug. "Everyone's waiting!"
"Everyone?" Lucy asked being led into what seemed to be a bright light, like one in a tunnel. When the light faded, the majority of Fairy Tail members were present. They all greeted Lucy at the same time and it felt heartwarming.
Gray, Erza, Gajeel, Levy, Juvia, Alzack, Bisca, Romeo, Max, Warren, Nab and the rest! They were here! Some of them changed in appearance and the others looked the same a year ago.
This moment brought Lucy so much happiness that she was shaking from the overwhelming sight and was staring to tear up. And approaching before her was her lovely friend, Mirajane. She had a pleasant smile on her face like anytime she would greet or bid someone farewell before they went on a mission.
"Mira…" Tears started to flow down Lucy's warm cheeks.
Mirajane tilted her head in response, before reopening her eyes. "Welcome home."
More tears began to erupt from the fond greeting and the feeling of nostalgia. Her tears covered her eyes, "I'm…back…" she hiccupped a few times as she faced her face to the ground and covering her eyes with her hands. "I'M BAAAACK!" Lucy shouted letting her emotions pour out from this moment, being surrounded by her cherished friends.
Everyone around her smiled happily, reunited once more as they watched Mirajane embrace the crying Lucy in a homecoming hug. While this was going on, Natsu was ruffling through a nearly pile of debris looking for something.
"Oh! Found ya'!" He shouted feeling something in the rubble that was cylindrical, long and hard. It was a pole. "It's seen better days, but…" he brought the pole out, which was revealed as a torn Fairy Tail flag. "It's about time we bring back out guild! Because WE ARE FAIRY TAIL!"
The roar was heard, but another one was heard as well and it was louder than Natsu.
"WHERE IS MAKAROV?!" The voice demanded landing down on the ground behind the group with another being next to it. Fairy Tail turned to the voice and recognized the two walking towards them was Super Gamu and Zo, who they heard of from newspapers and spread-of-word throughout the year.
"Super Gamu…" Lucy muttered staring at the tall Majin before she ran up to him and wrapped her arms around his hips.
"L-Lucy?" Super Gamu said in surprise staring down at the girl with her head burrowed in his hard gum chest.
"It seems you also forgot to say you'd introduce me to your girlfriend," Zo teased nudging his left arm.
"Now's not the time, Zo!" Super Gamu roared back at Zo for his tease. He turned back to Lucy and patted her head, feeling something wet on his bare chest. It was her waterworks. "You can stop anytime you'd like, Lucy."
Lucy let go of Super Gamu while she looked up at him, wiping her tears from her eyes.
"So Zo, this is Lucy. The first friend I met coming to this world," He introduced wiping the water from his pink chest.
"It's a pleasure," Zo nodded.
"Oi, Super Gamu!" Natsu shouted holding the Fairy Tail flag walking up to Super Gamu. "A year ago we were-"
"Yeah, yeah. Attacked by a Demon guild and engaged in a war with them. What of it?"
"Where the heck were ya?!" Natsu roared angrily, getting the interest of the others wondering why one of their aces was absent during the war. They could have won easily, but they had trouble winning against them and almost got defeated when FACE, an anti-magic weapon used by the Magic Council was nearly used on them.
"I was needed elsewhere." He put it straight. He doesn't want them to know where he's been and what he's been doing – especially the part about him being infused with Godly Ki. Not yet at least. "So where is that old man who disbanded the guild?"
"No one knows," Lucy answered looking saddened again. The disbandment must have really affected her badly. "After he disbanded the guild, he left without a word."
"Speaking of the master," Levy said with Jet and Droy behind her. "Until we can find him, we need to choose who will be the seventh Guild Master. With all things said and done, I think you Super Gamu, will be able to fill the spot."
Zo, Super Gamu, Natsu and Lucy jumped at that offer.
"M-me as the seventh Guild Master?" The Majin felt unsure about it.
"Yeah," Levy nodded smiling. "You have done admirable feats and I think you being the Guild Master position suits you." The other guild members behind Levi gave their approval of Super Gamu being the seventh Guild Master of Fairy Tail.
Super Gamu rubbed his chin interestingly with his right index and thumb. Being named a Guild Master, though temporary, is quite a title to have. Heck, why not? It'll be interesting, exciting and challenging being a guild leader.
With a sheepish grin, Super Gamu nodded.
The Majin Fairy has reached the 100k word count! (Although I bet 25% of that is the same word haha). This is the first time I reached this milestone and it feels good to show so much dedication to this story. Only if I could reach 100 follows/favorites for this story too. That would be awesome.
