After the destruction of the tower of Heaven and the departure of Erza's old friends. Natsu and the others heads back to Magnolia and got back home just today as they find the Guild looking brand new and bigger than before.

"wow!" cheered Haruka and Haruo with stars in their eyes. "the guild became bigger!"

"it is very surprising" Erza said as she looks to the guild

"so, this our new guild?" Gray said in amazement as they all went in and see the many new things of the guild.

"why is there a good shop here?" Lucy said with a sweat drop as she saw a Shop that is selling Fairy Tail merchandise

"welcome!" the man in the stall who goes by the name of Max Allors greeted Lucy and the others before realizing that it was just them

"Max!" Gray greeted the guy as he did a handshake with the man "you now run this store?"

"Master got me to learn a few things on selling stuffs so here I am" Max said while chuckling to him

"what are you selling here?" Erza asked him

"mugs, t-shirts, cushions and the best one of all" Max replied to her before reaching to take something out and it is a figurine of Lucy "and this!"

"please don't sell figurines of me without my permission!" Lucy said in sadness as everyone eyed the item

"and also, it can Cast off!" Max said as he pressed the back of the Lucy figurine and the clothes came off as the figurine was now in her underwear

"noooooo!" Lucy screamed

They all chatted with each other before deciding to go to the guild to meet with everyone else

Going into the new guild, everyone sees how big the hall is now.

"welcome back!" exclaimed Mira who greeted the group first.

"Mira-neechan!" Haruka and Haruo ran to the Majin as they hug her legs with happy smiles.

"the guild went to a whole lot redecoration, huh?" said Gray as he sees just how the guild is livelier than before.

"yeah, but the best parts are what we added in" said Mira with a grin as she leads everyone around in a tour where everyone sees a pool, a game room, and many more.

"and anyone can go up to the second floor now" said Mira while looking up to the second floor where her little brother, Elfman is, the man greeted the ones below with a wave.

"I can guess that you still got to be an S-Class if you want to take the S-Class request" said Gray as Mira nodded before sending an angry stare at Haruka and Haruo.

"and unlike last time, all of the quests are only allowed for those who take it, and not hitchhikers," said Mira with a demonic stare as Haruka and Haruo hides behind Natsu, knowing how they made trouble in the past.

"ah, you're back, you brats" said Makarov as he came walking in with Juvia by his side.

"Master!" said Erza and the others as everyone turns to look at them.

"Gramps!" exclaimed Haruka and Haruo, the twins run and gave the old man a hug. "we're home!"

"welcome back!" replied Makarov with a chuckle before they separate from the hug. Makarov then smiles. "meet our new member Juvia, ain't she just a pretty?"

"looks like gramps gave you his approval to join," said Gray to Juvia with a smile

"Ah, thank you so much for letting Juvia join!" said Juvia with a smile "Juvia will do her best in her new guild!"

"glad to have you!" said Lucy before seeing Juvia's expression turn sour to her.

"LOVE RIVAL!" Juvia turned demonic at Lucy.

"No, i'm not!" Lucy turned pale from Juvia's glare.

"Ah yes, must not forget the other one." Makarov pointed out while in the background, Haruka and Haruo hug Juvia's legs while welcoming her to the guild which made the Water Mage smile.

"Another?" Erza asked.

"Yes, over there. He's your new guildmate." Makarov said as everyone in the guild looked at Gajeel who was just sitting at the corner table by himself.

"Gajeel!" exclaimed Gray and Erza as their eyes went hostile to the sight of seeing the Iron Dragon Slayer.

"P-please! Juvia is the one that recommended him! He was all alone and I thought he would like to join!" Juvia panicked as she tried to stick up for her friend.

"Juvia is one thing but this man!" exclaimed Erza as they got a flashback of seeing Natsu unconscious and wounded in the Sakura Caves.

"Hold on Erza, he's one of us now." Makarov said assuringly.

"But he attacked the guild, gramps!" Gray argued as he glared at Gajeel.

Haruka and Haruo hides behind Lucy's leg as they have a cautious approach towards the man

"Well, you know what they say, "Yesterday's enemies, are today's friends"..I like to think." Makarov said as sheepishly stroked his stache.

"Well, if you say so master, however I think we should keep an eye on him for a little while." Erza said as narrowed her eyes around him.

"okay" Makarov said with a sweat drop before everyone sees Natsu walking towards Gajeel who eyed him

"Papa?" Haruka voice out as they see Natsu placing a cup of tea in front of Gajeel

"I didn't order this" Gajeel said to Natsu

"think of it as a way of saying thank you" Natsu said before walking away to the others as Gajeel scoffed and looks away.

"Oi, Natsu, are you really okay with this?" Gray asked him.

"with what?" replied Natsu

"you know" Gray said while nudging his head towards Gajeel who sips the cup of tea.

"all that matters, that the tide has passed and we all better move on," Natsu told them "sticking to the past, is a fool's choice of life"

Natsu then looks to Makarov "Master, I want to have a small discussion with you later on" Natsu told the old man who nodded.

the lights suddenly went out as this surprised everyone before they turn towards the lit-up stage lights where Lisanna and Mira were standing there with musical instruments in their possession

"Alright everyone, me and my sister are going to sing a new song for our new members and everyone's return," Lisanna announced.

"Whooo! I've been waiting for this!" "You two are like angels~!" Most of the men shouted out.

"Alright, lets get started everyone!" said Mira with a grin

the two began singing a song with Lisanna singing harmony. They sounded really good. They really calmed everyone down. After a few minutes, they were done and everyone was cheering.

"Thank you everyone!" Lisanna called out as the curtains closed

"Oh that was beautiful~!"

"Oh, someone else is performing!" They all eagerly awaited whoever it was. They then turned to stone from the shock. It was Gajeel in a suit and holding a guitar.

"I wrote this song, hope you enjoy it. Its called Best Friend." He announced before he started singing

"I hope you choke!"

"Why are you dolled up!?" They all protested. As soon as he started, everyone was already falling over from the insanity. Gray and Erza and the rest were just sitting there with their mouths wide open.

"Go for it, Gajeel-kun!" Juvia shouted to her friend.

"God, I never heard a song this crappy before!" Gray said as he kept his hands on his ears. All a sudden, the guitar hit him square in the face, and Gajeel seemed to say something in his harmonica with a tick mark. "You wanna go Bucket Head!?" Gray shouted to him, as he and Gajeel jumped and trounced each other.

"SHOOBY DOO BOP!" Gajeel responded with a kick.

"O-oi! Don't do that here! Somebody stop them!" Macao shouted in distress.

"Stop it!" Makarov shouted worriedly.

"OwwwhhoooaaaAAA!" Elfman suddenly roared and got up, unintentionally knocking Erza's cake out of her plate.

"M-my..Strawberry cake...AH!" She was on the verge of tears when Elfman stomped the poor cake flat as he bellowed. "Hey! Its not very manly of you two to make a damn racket!"

"SILENCE!" Erza kicked Elfman to other end of the guild in fury. Once again, the guild was enveloped in chaos much to Makarov's sorrow. They just finished it, and now they were already back to destroying the guild.

"What hell were you doing!?" "I was Shooby do bopping, you jerk!"

"Wahhhh~!" Makarov cried as the new guild started to get into a mess.

Natsu sat by the bar with Haruka and Haruo as the man holds a cup of tea in hand, he watch as everyone rumble with one another as chairs, tables, buckets, plates, everything flew everywhere.

"unchanging, huh?" said Natsu with a small smile before he sips his tea.


on the next day, Lucy is at the guild as she is applying to make up on her face.

"you are really going all out on those cosmetics," said Lisanna, seeing how Lucy applied powder to her face and then curl up her eyebrows.

"of course!" said Lucy as she takes out pink lipstick and then applies it to her lips. "the Weekly Sorcerer reporter is coming to Fairy Tail, right!? This might be the only time for me to hit the news!"

"good luck with that" said Cana while going to the bar. "those reporters usually only interview the famous ones first"

"yeah, mostly Mira-nee, or Erza, or Gray, or anyone who already made a name of themselves gets interviewed than anyone else" added Lisanna.

"I won't give up! I will let my existence spread through the entire world!" exclaimed Lucy while finished making her make up done.

"COOL!" a hollering scream is heard as everyone looks to the door and sees Jason, the Weekly Sorcerer reporter coming in. "the NEW Fairy Tail Guild is COOL!"

"oh, he's here" said Lisanna in seeing the reporter.

"the new guild is bigger, better, and COOL! What an amazing evolution of the number one guild in Fiore!" exclaimed Jason as he started taking numerous amounts of photo shots with his camera.

"welcome to Fairy Tail" said Erza as she greeted Jason.

"COOL! IT'S TITANIA! TITANIA ERZA!" screamed Jason with steam coming out of his nostrils before he started taking photos of the Scarlet Knight. "CAN I ASK A FEW QUESTIONS?!"

"go ahead" replied Erza with a smile.

"um" Lucy tried to speak to Jason and get an interview with him, but the reporter is to into interviewing Erza at the moment.

"how many Armors do you have?" asked Jason while holding a notepad and a pen.

"over a hundred" replied Erza as Jason gawked while his hands scribble down on the notepad at a very fast pace.

"t-then which one do you like the most?" Jason asked again.

"the Bunny Suit" replied Erza as Jason blushed and gawked.

"B-Bunny?!" said Jason as Erza nodded.

"those ears are cute," said Erza with a smile.

"COOL!" screamed Jason.

"hahahaha, redhead being a bunny" said Mira who came into the guild with a smirk "I guess that's why she has such a dorky ideas at some point!"

"what did you say, Mirajane!?" exclaimed Erza as the two women glared at one another.

"I said that you have dorky ideas, you got a problem!?" said Mira as sparks of rivalry flied in between the two.

"I do, you she-bitch!" barked Erza before the two women got into a fight with one another.

"there it is! The legendary battle of Titania VS Majin is still ongoing in fire! COOL!" screamed Jason before he got sent flying from a punch that came from Mira that was intended for Erza.

"there they go again" said Lucy with a sweatdrop in seeing the two strongest women in Fairy Tail fighting against one another.

"Natsu should stop them before they wreck up a lot" stated Cana while watching the fight.

"now that you said it" said Lisanna as she looks around while looking confused. "Natsu didn't come to the guild today"

"eh?" said Cana and Lucy in unison


At the Sakura Caves, the atmosphere inside is as calm and peaceful. Ash and Flake rested in their nest with their hatchlings while Natsu sat on the grass near a Sakura tree, sitting face to face with Makarov. The two have a share of sake together.

"is this….really what you want?" asked Makarov while holding his cup in his hand.

"yes" replied Natsu with a head nod. "I will leave Fairy Tail"

"you shouldn't feel sinned, Natsu" said Makarov while looking at Natsu "you just chose the wrong path. It is not a sin to choose the wrong path if its to save someone you love"

"Fairy Tail is all about family, I choose my own desire over our own family" said Natsu as he closed his eyes and frowns a bit. "I shouldn't be a Fairy Tail mage anymore"

Makarov looks at Natsu before he sighs and looks down at his own reflection in the sake of water.

"if this is what you want, I will not stop you" said Makarov before he drinks his sake and exhales a sigh. "but what of Haruka and Haruo?"

"If they want to stay as Fairy Tail members, I will allow it" said Natsu while opening his eyes. "I am the one who is sinned, not them"

Makarov looks at Natsu as he sees the amount of sadness inside his eyes. Natsu takes out a letter and handed it to Makarov who took it then looks back at the man.

"after the Fantasia Parade…I will leave" said Natsu before looking at Makarov "please give that letter to the twins….i wish for them and everyone else to understand my reasons"

Makarov sighs before he slowly nodded and abide by Natsu's wishes to leave Fairy Tail.

"after the Fantasia Parade then," said Makarov before frowning a bit


Back at Fairy Tail, the guild is in a bit of a wreck as some tables, chairs, and some wooden furniture were all broken to pieces thanks to the brawl of Erza and Mirajane.

"Fairy Tail is COOL!" said Jason while having a purple bruise on his face as he leaves the guild with happiness

"what a dedicated reporter, huh?" said Lucy with a sweatdrop as to see Jason just leaving like so.

"he is one of the best" stated Lisanna with a smile.

Lucy sighs as she won't get her interview. She was about to go home and change but her eyes caught sight of Chitetsu leaning against the bar by the side. "that's strange…why is Chitetsu here?"

"eh?" said Lisanna as she looks to where the Katana is. "did Natsu forget him here?"

Lucy went near the katana and was about to reach for the sword's handle as Mira who is nearby, sees what she was doing.

"wait, Lucy! Don't touch Chitetsu by yourself!" exclaimed Cana as Lucy made a surprised and confused sound while her hand holds Chitetsu's handle. In a single moment, Lucy felt very weak as she felt her own magic getting sucked away.

"wha…" Lucy lets go of Chitetsu before she staggered back and slowly falls down but Gray with Elfman caught her just in the nick of time.

"you ok?" said Gray as Lucy weakly look at the Ice mage.

"hey, Chitetsu! Why didn't you give a warning to Lucy!? That's not manly of you!" exclaimed Elfman at the talking katana.

"I did not have blood for a few days nor do I care for her welfare" replied Chitetsu.

"that stupid cursed katana" said Gray before he and Elfman helps Lucy to a table then lays her down.

"what….happened?" muttered Lucy in a bit of a weak voice.

"your magic got sucked by Chitetsu" said Gray while placing a cold hand on Lucy's forehead, making a Water mage really jealous.

"my magic?" replied Lucy before seeing Erza, Mira, and Lisanna going near the weak blonde mage.

"Chitetsu is a cursed katana who drinks blood or sucks in the magic of his wielder," said Erza before taking a glance at Chitetsu. "in the past, Natsu told us to never touch it or rather without his permission."

"guess you now know why" said Mira to Lucy.

"does that….mean…..Natsu gets his magic….sucked away when he….uses Chitetsu?" asked Lucy.

"yeah, the guy always gets his magic sucked everyday." Said Elfman while crossing his arms. "it's a mystery that the man is still standing strong"

Lucy slowly sat up as her body feels very weak from getting her magic sucked away.

"we should get you to the infirmary," said Lisanna, seeing Lucy's weak form as Mira nodded.

"you can consider yourself lucky, Lucy" said Mira while helping Lucy up and carried her arm over her shoulder. "some of us who accidentally touched Chitetsu in the past, nearly pass out for a week before waking up. you are one of the few lucky ones"

"one of the few?" asked Lucy in a whisper as Mira nodded.

"The only few who can hold Chitetsu and stand strong either than Natsu" said Mira while going up the stairs with Lucy "Master, Mystogan, and Laxus"

Lucy looks a bit amazed but because of her magic that got drained, she didn't have any more strength to ask anymore.


At a nearby Magnolia Park. Gajeel stood nearby a tree while face to face with Jet and Droy.

"what? why you guys call me here?" said Gajeel while crossing his arms. "I got a job to do"

"job? Coming from the guy who destroyed the guild before" said Jet with an angry face.

"you have no shame, do you? There are other guilds for you to join!" said Droy with an equal anger in his face as Jet.

"you two, please stop" said Levy who is behind the two "remember what Master said? we can't do such things"

"how can you say that, Levy!?" said Jet while clenching his fists hard. "have you forgotten that this guy did to Natsu?!"

"but Natsu…" said Levy with a frown when remembering how Natsu got injured and how much tears that Haruka and Haruo cried out.

"we couldn't care if the guild get wrecked up or anything. But this guy hurt one of us and made Haruka-chan and Haruo-chan cry!" said Droy while punching a fist into an open palm. "we can't allow that!"

"so you guys hold a grudge for what I did to Salamander. Huh?" said Gajeel before smirking "I guess this guild is all softy towards one another, huh?"

"this is our limit!" said Jet before he dashed towards Gajeel and sends a spinning kick right at the Iron Dragon's side.

"Knuckle Plants!" exclaimed Droy as he throws seeds to the ground, using his magic to grow them before fist shapes vines came barraging at Gajeel.

"Wing Strike!" exclaimed Jet as he sends a diving kick right at Gajeel's abdomen.

Errgg..." Gajeel grunted as he looked up at the two wizards assaulting him.

"What's the deal?" "Why aren't you..?" Jet and Droy asked as Gajeel keeps getting attacked by the two without even fighting back.

"What kind of bullying is this?" Laxus asked as he came upon the Fairy Tail mages.

"Laxus!" Jet exclaimed.

"So this is the kid that destroyed my guild huh?" Laxus said as he got a closer look at Gajeel. "So the old man lets people join so they don't destroy the guild. This is exactly the reason people look down on us!"

All the sudden a large lighting bolt strikes down on Gajeel as he yelled in pain.

"I heard all sorts of things from the bars on the way here. Fairy Tail isn't much? Those guys are through?...IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF!" exclaimed Laxus in rage.

"GAAAAAAHHHH!"

"AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" Laxus then slammed his fist in the ground and a wheel of lightning came out and hit Gajeel. It pushed him along the ground and exploded. He laid there and just faced the ground.

"Laxus, that's going to far!" Jet said as he sweated nervously.

"I knew he was a monster, but seeing it, I still can't believe it." Said Droy as he gulped nervously in seeing Laxus's power.

"I'll show you what happens when you mess with Fairy Tail! You piece of shit!" Laxus was kicking him while he was down.

"Laxus, stop! You're going to-!" exclaimed Levy

"Weaklings like you should shut up!" Laxus turned around and launched a lightning bolt at Levy. Levy closed her eyes and cringed. However she was not hurt, and found Gajeel blocking the attack that was headed her way. He then winced a little.

Jet, and Droy look surprised in what Gajeel did as the man had protected Levy who looks surprised as well

"h-he….protected Levy!?" said Jet in pure surprise.

"you…" said Droy in shock.

"You finished yet? I got work to do." He walked off while clutching his arm.

"Um, wait-!" Levy tried to call out to him.

"Leave me alone." Said Gajeel as he walked away.

Laxus looks at Gajeel walking away before he turns around and started going away to the other direction.

"Laxus…" said Jet before he looks down and frowns a bit.


The day had turned to night as Natsu sat in the sakura caves, having come to the place after getting Haruka and Haruo to have a sleepover with Lucy. Kiara stayed at his house as she look after the place.

Natsu sat in silence as he looks down to the grass before he sees a few sakura petals landing in front of him. Natsu looks up as he hears the several footsteps coming near him.

He turns to the side and his lips formed a smile as to see Ikaruga arriving inside the Sakura Caves.

"you came" said Natsu as he stands up and slowly approached Ikaruga who smiled.

The two stood close to one another before they got into an embrace with their lips connecting with one another. The branches of the Sakura trees started shaking from a breezing wind as rains of glowing sakura petals came.

Natsu and Ikaruga holds each other close in their kiss as they didn't stop. Natsu's hands slowly pulls down Ikaruga's kimono before the two got down to the grass as they got into raging love heat with one another.


somewhere by a cliff, Laxus stood there as he is accompanied by three figures.

"the time for the old man's era is over!" said Laxus before he had lightning sparks coursing around his body


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
