This enemy has proven to be a challenging one. Fairy Tail might have their work cutout for them. After what happened in Rose Garden, Nashi and her friends returned to the guild with Simon telling Laxus all that he's learned.

"You really think they plan to use the remains of this dragon to bring the dragons back?" Laxus questioned.

"I'm not sure, but it would explain how they plan to do it. How they actual use that, or it it's even true, is still up in the air." Simon said. "They also appear to have human allies. An advisor actually betrayed his city for these guys."

"So they have some help." Laxus said. "That could make it difficult to tell who we can trust. These guys have been around for all these years. There's no telling how many followers they might have. What I don't understand is that they had hundreds of years to do this. Why did they wait until now to act?"

"Well, I believe that Acnologia might have something to do with that seeing as how he was the reason the dragons have nearly gone extinct." Simon said.

"Yeah... That makes sense. The guy was around just as long as he was." Laxus said. "They probably hid from him until they could make their move. Good work, Simon. You and the others did well."

"Thank you, but there's still the matter of Nashi. Why would they attempt to kidnap her back in Rose Garden?" Simon said.

"That is rather strange." Laxus said. They are left with more questions than answers and they just keep coming. The worst part is that there doesn't appear to be anything they could do. "Well, all we can do is wait until Levy and this Elfaude can find their location."

"How's that going?" Simon asked.

"Elfaude is sharing everything he can and Levy is using all that info." Laxus said. "However, they're scouting all of Ishgar. Since our enemy can turn into dragons, they're capable of going farther than any human could. It's going to take some time, even for someone like Levy, to get a location." Simon could see that's a problem, but he can't do much to help out. Simon made his way down the guild and met with the others. He spotted them at a table, but did see that Nashi wasn't there.

"I was thinking these dresses for the bridesmaids. What do you think, Sasha?" Nova asked as she was making wedding plans.

"I don't do flower dresses." Sasha said.

"Hey, Simon." Storm said as he came over. "Everything gone okay with Laxus?"

"Yeah. I told him everything I could." Simon said. "Gale, do you know how things are coming with your mother finding the enemy's location?"

"She's doing her best." Gale said. "She's trying to find ways to narrow down the search to a precise location. Until she finds something, there's nothing we can really do."

"Let's just hope that when we do find them, it won't be too late to act." Simon said. "Speaking of which, how things at Sabertooth since Calleen went to pay them a visit?"

"Fine. Calleen is having a look around the place." Gale said. "Still, I wish she was here so we can hang, but I don't want to get between her spending time with Shae." He complained as he laid against the seat.

"Bit of advice, clinging to a girl has the opposite affect. It pushes them away, not keeps them close." Sasha said. "It shows you're desperate and that's a turn off."

"Okay. You can stop trying to cheer me up." Gale said with annoyance, but the others had a good laugh.

"By the way, where's Nashi?" Storm said as he saw she hasn't showed yet. "Shouldn't she be here by now?"

"Maybe she stopped for breakfast or something." Gale said like it wasn't a problem, but Storm had this weird feeling there was something else going on.

...

Nashi

Storm was actually right. Nashi and Drake spent the night together again. She admits that she can't resist this strong desire she's developed towards Drake, but she also doesn't know what to do about it. She isn't sure if she wants an actual relationship. That is why she and Drake are keeping what's going on between them a secret. Drake agreed with that since it means he can just be with Nashi until she figures things out. For now, things between them is just a little more physical. That's how they ended up in an alleyway with them making out with each other with such passion. Drake had her pressed against the wall and held her down as they kissed each other and only broke apart so they could breathe.

"Wow..." Nashi said like she was in a daze. "I thought that would be gross, but it was actually better than I thought."

"That's because you're with me." Drake claimed. "French kissing holds quite an intense feeling when you're with the right guy."

"You know, I am starting to wonder where you learn this stuff." Nashi said.

"Are you asking if I've been with other woman? Are you jealous?" Drake teased.

"Never mind." Nashi said as she didn't want to get in that conversation. "We better get to the guild or else everyone is going to wonder where we are."

"Go on ahead. I'll follow so they don't think we were together." Drake said. At least he's keeping his word. Nashi went on ahead of him. With all that's been going on, Fairy Tail is still finding ways to enjoy themselves. They should because there's no telling how long that will last.

...

Sapphron

Lumiere and Kuroi returned to Sapphron. They told them about what happened in Rose Garden and were expecting him to be disappointed.

"We're sorry, Sapphron. We failed to capture the girl." Kuroi said as they expected to be punished.

"It's fine." Sapphron said. That wasn't what they were expecting. "I believed that girl with her strange powers could help us, but we actually have other options. That's assuming she's not the only one with this ability. Either way, our plans will still come to fruition."

"So what the heck are we waiting for?" He looked to the side and saw another dragon slayer step out. He had blonde hair in spikes. He wore a gold shoulder pad strapped over him with wearing white pants and sandals. "Let's fire this spell up and get it over with. What is there to wait for?"

"I agree with Keenan." Another stepped out. He wore a brown leather top and shorts with him also wearing boots with metal shoulder pads and brown gloves and also had brown hair. "I say we unleash the spell now."

"Keenan and Linus are right." The last one showed himself. He had short brown hair with a muscular build. He wore black shorts with boots with a black sports top. He also had his own black shoulder pads with net-like pieces around his arms. He also seemed to have an emotionless face. "Why are you waiting? We've waited for four centuries for this."

"Our moment will come, Korog" Sapphron claimed. "I understand what the three of you are saying, but there are still things we must take care of. There are still other dragon slayers that I'm hoping we can gain on our side. On top of that, I've discovered an interesting power that could help us within the new generation of dragon slayers. It could make our goals better than we imagined. We've waited this long. We just need to be patient a little longer."

"Still... I say we just do it now." Keenan said.

"Sapphron is the leader. we follow his lead." Sharell said. "Sapphron, do what you must. Korog, could you come with me? Lumiere and Kuroi, you as well." When she asked for them, the four of them left the place and went on their own.

...

Outside

"So what's up?" Lumiere asked. Sharell took the three of them outside the cave they were hiding in.

"While I will follow through with Sapphron's will, we are going to have to take care of a few details." Sharell said. "It would seem that this Fairy Tail is going to continue to challenge us. We have yet to know if the first generation dragon slayers in that guild will actually work with us. However, I believe it is unlikely."

"Do you want us to do something about it?" Kuroi said.

"No. It's not just this Fairy Tail we might have to worry about." Sharell said. "You said you had encounter two other dragon slayers and their emblems was that from another guild. Is that right?"

"Yeah. We encountered two others back at Rose Garden." Lumiere said.

"We know that there are two other guilds that have dragon slayers. They're called Lion's Crown and Sabertooth." Sharell said. "I imagine the ones you two encountered are from one of them. If they're from this sixth generation, they must have parents from the previous generations. I want you three to head to these other two guilds. Check them out and see what kind of dragon slayers they are."

"What exactly do you want us to do when we do learn that?" Kuroi said.

"The ones that were raised and taught by the actual dragons would be more beneficial. They would understand." Sharell said. "If they choose to side with us, good. If they choose to oppose us, either eliminate them or have them see they should just stay out of the way."

"Understood." Korog said.

"Very well." Kuroi said.

"I guess we do have some unfinished business with those other two." Lumiere said. "Kuroi and I will head for that Sabertooth guild. I'm certain that's the guild those two who tried to fight us are from. Do you think you can handle the ones in this Lion's Crown, Korog? I heard there are two dragon slayers in that go, both pretty strong."

"I can handle it." Korog claimed and just started walking.

"Let's go, Lumiere." Kuroi said as he began walking and Lumiere followed him and Sharell left everything to them.

...

Sabertooth

"And that's how Michael got banned from that store." Shae said as he finished telling a story to Calleen about some trouble Michael caused. She couldn't stop herself from laughing.

"I can't believe Michael actually did that!" Calleen said as she kept laughing. "Those girls must have been mad." While the two of them were chatting, the others were off to the side and enjoying the fact that Shae was having fun with Calleen.

"Do they have to make fun of me?" Michael said.

"Deal with it." Owen said.

"How's our special visitor loving her stay?" All of them looked to see Rogue showing himself.

"It looks like she's having a lot of fun." Rona said. "I'm happy that Shae is having such a great time with his stepsister."

"As am I." Rogue said as he truly felt happy for his son. "I've tried talking Shae into see his mother more often, but he was so against the idea. I'm glad to see he's opening up to her family now. Calleen really seems to be enjoying herself here as well."

"Good for her." Michael said, but his mind was wondering off. Athena looked at him and could tell what he was thinking.

"Are you trying to picture what she looks like under her clothes?" Athena said with annoyance.

"Well, you have to admit that she's a great looking girl." Michael said. Athena couldn't believe it. She couldn't stop herself from slapping him across the face. "What was that for?!"

"Jerk!" Athena said as she turned away from him.

"What?" Michael said.

"Sorry, Mike. I think Gale already has his eyes on Calleen." Owen said.

"That's not it." Rona said as she couldn't believe how dumb the boys are. Sabertooth was just enjoying themselves like Fairy Tail does, but that's about to be short. Their moments were interrupted when they felt the place began to tremble and they heard fierce and mighty roars. The roars of a black dragon and a white dragon.
