Nashi and the others went ahead with what Laxus told them and entered through the portal to Shadow Veil. All of them were surrounded by shadows and continued to run straight. However, it was like a never ending void and it was hard to tell if they were really moving.

"Good grief. Are we even getting anywhere?" Gale said.

"Just keep moving." Simon said.

"Wait. I think something is clearing up at the end." Nashi said. They were beginning to see an end open up. They reached the end and jumped right out. They landed on the ground and were no longer surrounded by shadows.

"Whoa! Where are we?" Nova said as they looked through and it was just a wide opened meadow.

"Look at this." Sasha said. They looked at the opening they came through and saw it was generated by two large poles. "These two must be some sort of conductors that created that path to begin with." The tear closed up and left them all there.

"Great. There really is no turning back now." Gale said.

"Don't worry. I trust my dad." Nova said. "I'm sure he has some sort of plan that will help us get back. He wouldn't do something like this unless he had something planned."

"Nova's right. We have to trust our master." Simon said. "There's no turning away now. Look over there." All of them looked across the field and saw a large dome-like building in the distance.

"That's a little weird. Why would they set this teleporter all the way out here when their base is out there?" Gale said.

"I'm not entirely sure, but we not going to get anywhere if we just stand around here." Nashi said.

"Nashi's right. We came here to take on this enemy." Simon said. "Though, we should tread carefully. We don't know enough about them accept for those two that we came across."

"No kidding." Storm said. "Both of them were pretty tough. Actually, that's an understatement for the one with blonde hair." Those who did fight him still remember the magic power they felt from him.

"Is he really that dangerous?" Nova said.

"I say so." Nashi said.

"Yes. I can't speak for the others that might be inside, but we must beware of that one." Simon said. "He has a variety of magic on his side. He appears to be a couple years older than any of us. How can he be so powerful? Either way, if you come across him, don't fight to win. Fight so you can survive."

"Enough waiting around. Let's go!" Nashi said as she ran ahead and all of them went after her and went straight for the enemy base.

Shadow Veil

Jesser was enjoying a nice meal, but his meal was going to be have to cut short. He called for a meeting of the other members of Shadow Veil. All of them came into the dining hall and gathered around.

"Having a late night snack?" Fisler said.

"What's so important that we have to wake up so damn early?" Jared said.

"It seems we have some uninvited guests." Jesser said. A lacrima from above shined down and showed a security image of Nashi and the others heading towards their base. "A, Caluke, aren't these the same people you fought in Magnolia."

"Yeah!" Caluke said. "Those brats are from Fairy Tail. How the hell did they even get here?"

"You mean these are our enemies? Why would they come here?" Benith said.

"I don't see what the big deal is." Anith said. "From what we were told, they don't seem to stand a chance if they came here for a fight."

"Let them try. It's obvious they're so weak." Jared said.

"Just stop and think for a minute." Zomar said. "They are not to be underestimated. If they came here, they must be a lot stronger than they appeared. After all, it was A who fought them earlier."

"Don't tell me you're actually afraid." Jared said.

"Let's not make such a fuss." Sondoller said. "I say we should just let them walk in through our front door. They probably aren't aware that we've anticipated them. I placed those conductors outside the building precisely for a reason such as this."

"Yeah. I say let them come. See this?" Caluke said as he pointed to a scar that was given to him by Sasha. "I have some payback to give them."

"A, what do you think of all this?" Jesser said. A usually wouldn't care less about something like this, but this might be a good chance for him to see what Nashi is truly capable of like Benith told him.

"Let them come. If they want to walk right to their deaths, it makes no difference to me." A said. "Some of the Fairy Tail wizards aren't well known for using their heads." Jesser took a bit from a drumstick and ripped some of the meat right off and ate some of it.

"So be it." Jesser said. "Neither they or anyone will stand in our way. The black magic each of you possess will swallow their souls into darkness. They are walking into our territory. We hold the advantage. So wait for them to come to us and we shall vanquish them."

Nashi's Team

All of them kept running through the opened field with nothing, but the moonlight to guide their way. They ran a good distance until they arrived right at the building.

"Made it. Wow! This place is a lot bigger than it looks." Gale said as he got a good look at the building and it looked like it was about as wide as a football field. "A little hard to believe no one has ever noticed something like this before."

"They probably have some sort of cloaking device or some sort of system that keeps them hidden." Simon said. "We need to find some way to get inside."

"Can't we just bust the wall open?" Storm said.

"Not a good idea. If they haven't already, they'll be alerted of our presence if we just break our way in." Sasha said. "There must be a window or something that will help us." All of them looked around to find something.

"I guess we can just walk in through the front door." Gale said.

"Be serious. Do you really think….." Sasha was about to tell him how stupid he was until they saw a piece of the wall opening and flipped open a set of stairs that led the entrance. "I guess they're welcoming us in."

"Should we take it?" Nashi questioned.

"I say yes." Storm said.

"It could be a trap." Nova said.

"We can't keep wasting time discussing little things." Simon said. "Let's just head on in and see where we head from there." All of them decided to head up the stairs Shadow Veil laid out for them. All of them climbed up the stairs and headed on inside with the hall lit by torches on the wall.

"This isn't creepy at all." Gale said with some sarcasm.

"Don't let it get to you. They're probably just trying to psyche us out." Storm said. All of them treaded carefully for an enemy attack.

"There's a brighter light up ahead." Simon said. All of them continued down the halls where they saw the bright light. They entered the next room and saw that it split in six different directions.

"Six paths?" Nova said.

"Six of us. They must think we'll split up and try to take these guys on one-on-one." Storm said. "So what's the plan now?"

"Only one thing we can do, we each take our own path." Simon said. "If they want us to fight like this, we'll give them what they want. Who's to say these paths don't reconnect at some point?"

"Simon, are you serious?" Gale said. "We're in enemy territory. Shouldn't it be that we all stick together?"

"If I didn't believe in everyone here can handle themselves, I wouldn't suggest such a thing." Simon said with a confident smile. "We came here to defeat this enemy and it's always beneficial to defeat an enemy as soon as possible."

"Splitting up will allow us to cover more ground." Sasha said. "At the very least, one of us might at least be able to figure out what Shadow Veil's goal is. We should at least try to figure out why they target our guild in the first place."

"Sasha and Simon are right." Nashi said. "We came here with the purpose of defeating this enemy. I'm not saying we shouldn't be careful, but that's the only reason we came here. We're Fairy Tail wizards. We don't run from any foe."

"Yeah." Nova said. "Who cares if we have to face one of these guys or even a hundred? We'll face these guys with our heads held high." Everyone's confidence was starting to rise with them thinking they can still defeat this foe.

"So we're all really going in their alone? What? Do we make this a competition to see who can defeat an enemy first?" Storm said.

"I'm pretty sure that would be me." Gale said.

"Just one thing before any of us go anywhere." Nashi said. "Just before we left, Laxus gave me a little speech. He had me see that I've been acting more like my father and I've slowly been losing myself."

"What are you talking about? How have you been acting like your father lately?" Storm said.

"Just look at me. I even dressed myself to look like him." Nashi said. "I guess I have been acting a little rash and reckless, but that's only because I wanted to become as strong as him. I just want you guys to know that I want you all to do what you would do, not what our parents would do. We're Fairy Tail wizards like they are, we follow our own path and our own hearts. So no matter where we head, let's face this enemy with our own power."

"Our own power?" Simon said.

"Trying not to be like our parents?" Gale said.

"She's right. We came here by our choice." Nova said.

"I don't even have parents in the guild. I'm not too worried about that."

"And just like any and all Fairy Tail wizards, we'll win." Storm said. Nashi held out her hand and all of them placed their own on top of the other. With this joining of hands, they vow that they will fight because it's who they are. They also vow to fight for the sake of their guild and win.

"I'll see you all when we defeat this enemy." Nashi said. They break and each one of them headed down a different path with great courage and their own hearts.

Sasha

Sasha headed straight down the path. She looked ahead and saw her path was already coming to an end as she the light of another room at the end. She made it through and saw there were a bunch of pillars in the room with different sizes.

"What kind of room is this?" Sasha questioned.

"My own personal chamber." Sasha looked up at one of the pillars and she already found the enemy she's up against. It was Caluke.

"You again." Sasha said as she glared at him. "You're the jerk that attacked Asuka and Eve."

"The name's Caluke in case you forgot. I was hoping it would be you that comes here. I can give you a nice piece of payback."

"Bring it." Sasha said.

Storm

Storm ran down the corridor that he chose. He kept his guard up in case an enemy decided to attack. He looked ahead and saw a dark double door was at the end of the hall.

"I guess this is my first stop." Storm said as he stopped right at the door. He placed his hands on it and pushed with the door sliding open. He walked inside, but it was a poorly lit room and he saw it had a bunch of devices used for torture. "The hell?" Storm walked in and made sure to leave the door open. "Torture devices? Is this the interrogation room or something?"

"Something like that." Storm could feel the presence of another and it was right behind him. Anith was the one behind him. "It's fitting that you're here. It can be used as punishment for coming here and find out why you came here in the first place. Who are you? I like to remember the torture devices I use on you."

"The name's Storm Fullbuster." He said as he turned to him, but he wasn't the least bit afraid as it was his way. "I'm afraid you're the one who's going to get hurt."
