When Sapphron and Cerex retreated after their fight against Fairy Tail, they went back to their hideout. Of course, Cerex wasn't too happy about how they left things.

"Why did you have us pull out? We could have taken them." Cerex complained.

"You've become too arrogant and overzealous over the years, Cerex." Sapphron said. "We didn't go there to fight, but you just couldn't hold yourself back." Sapphron wasn't pleased with how Cerex handled the situation, but he was more focused on Nashi. He couldn't stop thinking about how she was able to summon a brand new dragon. 'How did she do it? How did she create that dragon? In all my years, I've never seen anything like that before.' While he was still wondering about how she did it, they soon met with someone who was waiting for them.

"Welcome back, Sapphron and Cerex." The one who was waiting for them was a woman. She was brunette with her hair framing her face as it reached her shoulders. She also wore a teal backless dress with the straps going around her neck.

"Thank you, Sharell." Sapphron said.

"Were you able to find the dragon slayers from that guild?" Sharell asked.

"We found more than we thought." Sapphron said. "Regardless, I left my offer with those I wanted to speak with. I just hope they make the wise decision."

"Oh please. I heard somethings about that guild." Cerex said. "The "wise" decision? I don't think so. Those idiots are going to try and get in our way. That's why I say we should have stayed and finished them, make them understand that should just back down."

"From what I can understand about this guild, they don't seem like the type that will back down from a fight." Sapphron said. "Just as we fight for what is precious to us, so do they. They are certainly a rowdy bunch, but if they actually do choose to challenge us, so be it. We won't allow anyone to stand in our way. After centuries of waiting, living with his curse, and the unjust of the dragons going extinct; our time has come."

"Agreed. Sapphron, you lead us through all these painful centuries. I would follow you anywhere." Sharell said. "The time is here for us to take our stand."

"Besides, Cerex, I know we'll be facing Fairy Tail again. We'll have to be ready for a fight." Sapphron said as he something planned. "Lumiere! Kuroi! Are you both there?" Two more showed themselves. One was shirtless with straps of black leather around his waist with white pants and sandals. He also flat blonde hair.

"You called." Lumiere said. The other one stepped out was dressed in black steampunk jacket with a red shirt underneath. He wore black pants and a cape over him with his hair black.

"What is it Sapphron?" Kuroi asked.

"I have a task for the two of you." Sapphron said.

...

Nashi

Nashi was walking through the streets of Magnolia. Until Levy and Elfaud find where Sapphron and the others are hiding, there isn't much they can do. She was just hoping they do find them and she can get another shot at Sapphron.

"He!" Drake said as he gave her a good surprise and wrapped his arm around her.

"Drake!" Nashi said. With all that just happened, she didn't get much chance to think about what happened between her and him. "What is it?"

"Just checking on you about this whole thing with those dragon slayers." Drake said. "You seemed tense and you look like you had a lot on your mind."

"Well, I guess that's because I know we have to face this enemy, but I also feel sympathetic towards them." Nashi said. "At the same time, I want to show I'm just as much of a dragon slayer to those guys." Nashi felt like her head was going a mile a minute with all the thoughts and feelings she was having.

"Hey. It's okay." Drake said. "What do you say I come by your place later tonight and help you take your mind off things." Nashi knew what he meant by that.

"Hold it!" Nashi said as she pushed him off. "Are you serious?!"

"I didn't say anything." Drake said as he tried acting innocent. Now that he's had a taste of Nashi, he's trying to get more. Nashi might actually be tempted.

"Nashi!" The two of them looked behind them and saw her friends showing up.

"Hey, Drake. What are you doing here?" Nova asked.

"You're not bothering Nashi, are you?" Storm warned. Nashi was a little worried as to how he would answer.

"We just ran into each other. That's all." Drake said. He was keeping his word and keeping what happened between the two a secret. "So, what's up?"

"We just heard back from Sabertooth." Simon said. "They're offering to help us out and want us to come meet them at their guild."

"We're the lucky ones going and we came to get you." Gale said.

"Does Sabertooth knows something?" Nashi asked.

"Maybe, but it's still a good idea for us to go. Since Sabertooth holds dragon slayers too, they need to know what is going on." Sasha said. "These century dragon slayers might attack them too."

"So, get your stuff. We're hitting the road." Gale said.

"Sounds like fun. I'm in." Drake said.

"Hold it. No one said you're coming along." Storm said.

"Hey, I'm a dragon slayer too. You might need me if those guys attack again." Drake said, but Storm didn't like the idea of Drake coming along.

"Drake's got a point, Storm. If we're dealing with an enemy that can actually turn into dragons, we're going to need all the dragon slayer power we can get." Simon said. Storm didn't like it, but it looks like all he could do was put up with it. Nashi had a sneaky suspicion Drake was going for his own motives as well as helping the guild.

...

Sabertooth

Once Nashi was told about what was going on, all seven of them headed for the Sabertooth guild. They all saw the guild and were already greeted by their old friends: Michael and Shae.

"Hey! Fairy Tail!" Michael called. Michael's new attire consisted of him wearing a blue jacket with grey fur in the collar and wore white pants tucked in his boots with a grey jacket.

"It's good to see all of you again." Shae said. He now wore a black coat that went to his ankles with a belt around it. He also wore black pants of his own.

"How's it going, Michael and Shae?" Nashi said.

"It's great to see you guys. It's been a long time." Storm said.

"We know you're here under some serious business, but we're still glad you all came for a visit." Shae said.

"Is that the Fairy Tail gang we love?" They all looked and saw their other friends: Athena, Rona, and Owen. Athena had the same ring-style black hair, but she wore a blue strapless knees with navy blue go-go boots and blue gloves that covered her arms. Rona still wore her red mask around her eyes, but she lost the hat and wore her blonde ponytail over her right shoulder. She wore a red buttoned sleeveless shirt with a white long one underneath. She also wore boots with a beige shirt. Owen cut his wild green hair into a scissor-cut style. He wore a black sports top with periwinkle pants.

"Hey, guys!" Nashi said as she was happy to see all her friends.

"Athena, how's it going?" Sasha said as they shook hands.

"Great. We're glad you're all here." Athena said.

"I'll say." Michael said as he had his eyes on the girls. "Nashi, Nova, and Sasha; you three are as beautiful as ever." Athena was a little annoyed with his acts.

"Easy, Michael. Nova's engaged and Sasha could break your arm like a stick." Nashi said.

"So... What I'm hearing is you're available, Nashi?" Michael said as he acted smug. Now Drake and Storm were annoyed, but Nashi just pushed him back with her finger.

"That's enough, moron." Shae said.

"They are here on business." Rona said.

"I know. My old man wants to talk to you guys about that." Michael said. He showed all of them in and they all headed for Sting's office.

"Good to see the juniors of Fairy Tail." Sting said.

"Do you have to call us juniors. We're all in our twenties here." Nashi said.

"You got our message?" Simon asked.

"Yeah... I almost can't believe it." Sting said. "Dragon slayers from four-hundred years ago, and they plan to resurrect the dragons."

"They claim they only want to bring back the kind dragons." Gale said.

"We understand you and Rogue were raised by dragons, but we can't allow this to happen." Nova said. "The world has simply evolved to a point where there is no place for the dragons anymore."

"I know. That was all explained in the message." Sting said. "Rogue and I were raised by dragons and they did care for us. They even manipulate our memories to have us think we killed them for us to get stronger. They did that for our own good in hopes of us defeating Acnologia. As much as I like to see Weisslogia again, I know he wouldn't want this. Rogue would feel the same about Skiadrum."

"That's exactly how my father and the others feel." Nashi said as she felt sympathetic towards them.

"Master Sting, we need you tell us all that you can about dragons." Simon said. "Maybe if we learn more about what our enemies are like or how they plan to obtain their goal, we can find a way to stop them."

"I wish I could help you with that, but I don't know much about other dragons except Weisslogia." Sting said. They need to learn more about dragons, but how can they do that. Rona thought of something, but she wasn't sure if she should say something.

"I can hear your thoughts, Rona. You know something." Drake said. All of them turned to her.

"Well... I have heard of this one place that holds much dragon information. It's a city called Rose Garden." Rona said. That sounded like it could be big help to them. Shae didn't like the sound of that and that's what Rona was worried about.

"Where's Rose Garden?" Sasha asked.

"That's the thing. Rose Garden is on the other side of the country." Owen said.

"It would take you days to get there by foot." Athena said.

"We don't have that kind of time." Nashi said. "We've got to do something before it's too late."

"Maybe we can pay Blue Pegasus a visit and ask them for help." Gale suggested.

"No need." Michael said. "Dad, can we?"

"Sure. I think it's ready." Sting said.

"What?" Nashi said as Fairy Tail was curious as to what they were talking about.

...

Underground

Michael and his friends brought them all underground. They walked through a manmade passage with Nashi and her friends getting curious as to where this was going.

"I didn't know Sabertooth had something like this. Where are we?" Simon said. "Michael, what is it you want to show us?"

"This." Michael said when they reached the end. He flipped the lights on and they all were witnessing something amazing. It was giant vehicle with massive four wheels. It looked slick, fierce, and the tiger head on the hood with Sabertooth's emblem on the sides added to the style.

"We've been working on this baby for years." Owen said.

"Why should Blue Pegasus be the only ones with a cool ride?" Michael said.

"It looks like a ship for land." Gale said.

"There's plenty of room for all of us." Michael said. "This thing doesn't look tough, but it's fast as well. It's modeled after the fierce tiger just like our guild. That's why we call it the Tiger Racer. The best part is that it has a stabilizing lacrima for us dragon slayers. Why build this thing if we can't enjoy it? With this baby, we can make it to Rose Garden in a day."

"That all sounds awesome!" Nashi said.

"Yeah. Give us the keys and we can get going." Storm said.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no." Michael resistibly said. "Only Sabertooth drives this thing."

"That's why we're going with you." Owen said.

"We'll all go. We want to help you guys." Athena offered.

"Thanks. We probably could use the help." Nashi said. "Besides, it's not that often we all just get to hang out with each other." They all liked the sound of that. They were all boarding, but Shae stayed back. Rona noticed it and was worried about him.

"Shae... You don't have to go if you don't want to. I don't know why you have a problem with Rose Garden, but you don't have to go if you don't want to." Rona said.

"No. My friends need my help." Shae said. He swallowed his pride and boarded it with Rona worried about he must be feeling. All of them got inside and readied themselves for the ride. Michael put on his shades and got the Tiger Racer ready.

"Let's ride, baby." Michael said as he tried to sound cool.

"You did not just say that." Nashi said as they all thought he sounded like a dork. When the vehicle started working, they all got going. The racer headed down a tunnel until a ramp opened up that went outside. Once they got out, they got going. The fairies and tigers are helping each other out to bring down the dragons.
