While Sabertooth was dealing with the two dragon slayers, fairy Tail was unaware of what happened. Kuroi and Lumiere have been defeated, but there are other problems going on. One of them would be Nashi trying to figure out what to do about her situation with Drake. As irresistible as what they're doing might be to her, she knows it's not really fair to herself or to Drake. She has to figure out if she actually wants to be with Drake. That's why she's hanging outside the guild and was waiting for someone.
"I'll see you later!" Nova called as she exited the guild.
"Nova. Can we talk for a minute?" Nashi asked.
"Sure, Nashi. What's up?" Nova asked.
"I need your advice about something." Nashi said. "You're getting married to Raio. What made you decide to go out with him in the first place? What made you decide to marry him?"
"Why ask that?" Nova questioned. When she came up with an idea as to why, she charged at Nashi with excitement and got right in her face. "Nashi! Do you actually want to get a boyfriend now?! Do you want to go out with someone?! Which is it?! Storm or Drake?! Is there another guy we don't know about?!"
"Calm down! Someone will hear you and I want to keep this private!" Nashi said as she tried to calm Nova down, but Nova was too cheerful and excited for her. "Okay... There is someone, but I don't know if I really want to be a real couple with him. I don't know what to do because I could never even mention dating without my dad hearing. So, I never really thought about it before. Now that something is going on with this guy, I don't know if I want to."
"Eeeeh! I'm so happy for you!" Nova said.
"Nova!" Nashi said with a raised voice as she was already getting irritated.
"Okay. I'm sorry." Nova said as she tried to calm down. "What made me decide to date Raio...? That's simple. I got to know him first, saw what type of person he is. I was soon charmed by that. The reason I'm marrying him is simply because I love him. I took a chance and it paid off."
"Really?" Nashi said if she's wondering that's what she should do. She knows what kind of person Drake is, but she isn't quite sure if she was charmed. She was seduced, but is that even the same thing? She needs to be sure about this and there's only one other person that might be able to give her some advice.
"So?! Who is it?!" Nova said.
"Nova!" Nashi shouted with annoyance.

Lion's Crown
In another part of Fiore, there was one other powerful guild known as Lion's Crown. Lion's Crown started out as a legal guild that was obsessed with power. After they were defeated by Fairy Tail in the Grand Magic Games a couple years ago, they changed their ways and turned their rivalry with Fairy Tail in a more friendly one.
"After our date, we went back to her place and she claimed she was in Heaven." Lennis claimed.
"Damn, Lennis! You are a lady killer!" Ranko complained. "You ruin women for us other men. With your magic, how can we compete?"
"Calm down, Ranko. What does it matter?" Netina questioned.
"You wouldn't understand since you are a woman." Ranko said. "I know what I'm talking about. I was with this girl after she was with him, and I could see she wasn't as satisfied. It's not fair with the kind of magic he uses."
"Who said I ever used my magic." Lennis mocked.
"All of you calm down. You're making it sound like this is Blue Pegasus, but we're Lion's Crown." One person stepped forward to remind them who they are.
"You're right, Coro." Ranko said. Coro's changed his look like some others have. He saved his head and has shorter blonde hair now. He wore black leather gloves that reached his elbows with black boots. he wore a red shirt with black pants and had a black leather piece over his chest.
"Honestly... Sometimes I don't know what to do with you guys." Coro said.
"Just tell Lennis to save some women for the rest of us." Ranko complained.
"That pride of yours is going to be the death of you, Ranko." Netina claimed.
"Oh brother." Coro said as he decided to step out of the guild for some air. Coro walked outside and stood on a balcony with him watching over the city his guild was in.
"You always come up here when you want to do some thinking." He turned around and saw his trusted partner: Stella. Stella had a change of her look as well. She still wore lavender, but she wore a crop top with a hole in the center and black lining around the edges. She wore lavender gloves that reached her shoulders, but she also wore a dress draped around her waist with slits to show off her legs with her legs also wearing shiny white leggings.
"Or just to getaway from the craziness." Coro said as Stella moved over and stood next to him. "Those guys can be a handful sometimes."
"You don't have to tell me. I'm usually the one that is calm around here." Stella said.
"But it's actually a good thing we're like this. It shows we're not focused on power anymore." Coro said.
"Coro, it's been years since that happened." Stella said. "Lion's Crown has proved its worth. Don't you think it's time to let the past go and leave it in the past?"
"I guess so." Coro said.
"Besides, we need to stay focused." Stella said as she was getting serious. "You remember hearing about Fairy Tail's message, right?"
"Of course I do." Coro said. "I can't believe there are dragon slayers who have been alive for centuries and are threatening to destroy our world. You think that could have been us one day?"
"Who knows?" Stella said. "Our dragons did what they did to us for our sake, and for the sake of defeating Acnologia. Now we're dealing with threats that are similar to him."
"According to what we were told, they might come for you and I." Coro said. "They're only interested in those who got their power from the actual dragons. They could try to recruit us, or they could try to destroy us if we choose to oppose them. Do you think they really have the power to bring back dragons?"
"I honestly can't say." Stella said. "Either way, they plan to do whatever it takes to get whatever they're after. That's what we were told at least. Fairy Tail is taking a stand against them. I say we should do the same. As much as I like to see our dragons again, this just doesn't feel right."
"Well, we owe a lot to Fairy Tail." Coro said. "If they need our help, we'll help them. I also feel the same way you do about this. It may have hurt before when they left us, but having them brought back to us like this wouldn't be the right thing to do. I just wish there was something we could do now."
"Don't worry. We'll get our chance." Stella said. "After all, you cut your ridiculous hair. Perhaps anything is possible." She joked with Coro letting out a chuckle.
"I thought you liked my hair before I cut it." Coro said.
"I don't remember saying that." Stella said.
"Stella, you're just like a sister to me." Coro laughed. "You act like a big know-it-all and find ways to annoy me."

Korog
Korog went on his own to Lion's Crown. He made his way into the town that Lion's Crown is still in. He just walked through the town and acted like he was anyone else. He looked around for the guild, but he really had no idea where the guild was. He also didn't feel like tracking them down.
"Rather than me trying to find them, I'll have them come to me." Korog said. He made his way to a plaza thinking it was an ideal place for what he had in store. He dropped down to one knee and placed his hand on the ground. "Yes. This seems like a good place to start." While he was focusing, others saw him like that and were curious.
"What's that guy doing?"
"What a weirdo?"
"Is he okay?" People were wondering what he was doing. Korog cared nothing for the humans that was around. He just focused his magic into the ground.
"Breaking Ground!" Korog used his magic and it spread through the whole city.
...
Coro and Stella
The two of them stayed where they were until they suddenly felt the entire ground shaking. It was unexpecting and it was spreading through the whole town. The ground was tearing open with people in a panic.
"What's going on?! An earthquake?!" Coro said as he and Stella tried to hold on to something.
"I'm not sure!" Stella said. The earthquake was causing some havoc through the whole place. Heat was even escaping out of the ground and was causing more damage. It wasn't looking good at all.
"This is crazy! How is this even happening?!" Coro said. Stella closed her eyes and tried to focus her senses and see if she can figure out what was going on. She could sense traces of magic among the vibrations and the ground.
"It's not natural. This is being caused by magic." Stella said.
"Are you kidding me? What could be causing something like this?" Coro said. They both held on until things began to settle. That was so strange to them, but they also knew that it had to be trouble somewhere. "This can't be good. I'm going to see if I can find what caused this. You make sure no one is hurt."
"Got it." Stella said. Coro jumped over the railing and got moving to find what caused that, but he might not like what he's looking for.
...
Korog
Korog stirred things up in hopes of getting Lion's Crown attention. He was hoping this got him something. As he stood at the epicenter, all he had to was wait until something happened. As for people in the area, they were evacuating as they all believed he was a monster. Korog made the entire town shake. One person doing that alone is truly a terrifying sight to behold.
"Is everyone okay?"
"What happened?" A couple wizards from the guild showed up at the plaza to make sure no one was hurt.
"It was that guy!" One citizen cried as he pointed right at Korog in fear. "That guy somehow made the entire town shake! It was all him!"
"That guy?"
"Hey, you! Did you really cause all of this to happen?!" Korog turned to the ones that called out to him. He looked and could see their guild's emblem on them.
"It would seem that it worked." Korog said as he stood back up and turned to them.
"You bastard! What was that all about?!"
"That little stunt of yours could have gotten someone hurt!"
"You're not afraid? Good. Show me what I'm looking for." Korog said. The two members of Lion's Crown might not be afraid, but they should be. As for Coro, he was moving as fast as he could to catch the one who was behind all of this. However, this one was able to make an entire town shake all on his own. Does Coro really have what it takes to defeat an enemy that has the power of a natural disaster?
