Spoiler warning, this takes place in chapter 416, and has a few more spoilers for future chapters.

This is what I think would happen if COVID struck Magnolia, in the year X791. Therefore, it is named COVID-X791.

Enjoy.

When the coronavirus struck Magnolia, Makarov disbanded Fairy Tail. "Fly free, brats,"

The guild master was aware they wouldn't obey the social distancing rules. They just weren't the type to listen to rules. And the possibility of all the Fairy Tail members actually staying in their own homes during quarantine was 0%.

Fairy Tail had to be disbanded, there was no other way.

That day, Lucy found a letter on her table and picked it up. The envelope was stamped with a capital N. "What's this?"

Lucy opened the envelope. "This handwriting is messy..."

It read:

Happy and I are going on a journey to train.

We'll come back when this coronavirus is gone.

Take care of everyone for us while we're gone, alright?

See you, Lucy!

From, Natsu & Happy

"What? What are even they thinking?" Lucy threw open the door and ran into the street. "Just going on a long trip just like that! Did they ever think of how lonely I'd be? Idiot!"

"We're going to defeat the coronavirus as a warmup," Gray decided. "Then I'll defeat E.N.D.,"

"Yes," Juvia nodded.

"Sorry guys! But I'll be a lot stronger when I come back!" Natsu promised.

"Aye!" Happy added.

Fairy Tail's members scattered everywhere.

Some joined guilds, while some disappeared without a trace.

And the coronavirus canceled all sorts of events.

Including the Grand Magic Games.

The wizards weren't happy about it.

"Oh," Yukino said, disappointed.

"There's no Grand Magic Games this year?" Sting frowned. "Well... I guess it wouldn't be fun without Fairy Tail anyway..."

"Oh no..." Rogue whispered to himself. "How are we going to get Sting to burn all that fat he gained from the eating contest?"

"Rogue, Yukino, I think we should arrange him a diet..." Minerva added quietly.

Rogue nodded. "Definitely,"

"I can't disagree with you there," Yukino admitted.

Sting, with his sensitive dragon slayer hearing, heard them. "What was that, you three?"

"Nothing!"

"Um, nothing,"

"You heard nothing!"

"Hmmm..."

"Fro heard something," Frosch piped up.

One year later, X792...

Lucy collected newspapers and notes giving hints to where her friends could have went. She pinned them to a large board(the newspapers, not her friends, or course).

Lucy sighed. "Still no sign of Natsu or Happy again..."

But since the vaccines started coming out, things started going back to normal. The Grand Magic Games was hosted, but visitors could only watch it virtually.

In the final match, the guild Skull Million won.

But then some anonymous person stepped into the arena, wearing a dark cloak.

The intruder started burning up the arena with his magic. "So you're the number one guild, huh?"

"Who are you?"

"A challenger," the mysterious person took off their hood.

It was Natsu.

"I bet the coronavirus won't survive this!" Natsu grinned as the whole arena was literally melting due to the heat Natsu was emitting.

Happy shrugged. "He's overdoing it, once again..."

Let's hope Fairy Tail doesn't misbehave too much and that this annoying virus goes away soon.

Stay healthy, everyone(unlike Sting here).
