Hello everyone, it is I once more with another chapter for you all to rip apart into tiny pieces to see if you guys enjoy it or think it should die in a fire. It's up to you really. I'm going to guess though that you guys enjoyed the last chapter, since no one reviewed, but the favorites and follows went up, so I'm just going to assume that you all didn't think it was TOO terrible.
And before we get on with the story, the poll has been closed, and now I will tell you all the winners of the poll, the three girls that will be in the harem. Just to be clear, I'm going by first place, second place, then third place.
First, let's see who was already in the harem:
Kinana
Laki
Ur
Sayla
And now for the three new additions, first place is…
Juvia! *Confetti*
Second place…
Lucy! *Confetti*
And finally, third place…
Irene! *Confetti*
…Huh. To be honest I was a bit surprised to see Juvia and Lucy voted to be in the harem. Irene I can understand, but to see you all voted for Juvia and Lucy, mainly for Lucy, I will admit that was a bit out of nowhere. None the less, you all voted, and so they are in.
At least this way I don't have to worry about doing anything to Juvia and Lucy later on when we get to that point in the story.
*Laughs evilly*
Anyway, enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.
Everything belongs to their respective owners.
Chapter Eleven: More reunions
Those of the Tenrou Group looked in surprised to see the woman as she asked her question. The horns she had on her head got the group to be confused, since they were unaware that this woman was in fact an Etherious created by Zeref.
"Oh, you're back Guild Master," Zin spoke up as his eyes moved over to where the purple haired woman was at, all while staying up in his seat, "I take it that the kingdom accepted our payment to keep the guild running then?"
"That's correct Zin. We won't have to worry about that again until a few months from now," Sayla informed the one arm Warrior while walking over to where they were all at, "But please answer by question, who are these people?"
Kinana stood up from her chair as she started to speak to the purple haired Etherious with a smile on her face.
"These are old friends of mine who disappeared seven years ago. You know the ones Laki and I told you guys about?" The purple haired barmaid answered the Guild Master of Fairy Tail.
"Really?" Sayla responded as she looked back at the Tenrou group, "So you all survived the Dragon King's attack then."
"That's right," Makarov spoke up, as the small old man jumped off of his chair and made his way closer to the female demon, "My name is Makarov, the Guild Master of this guild seven years ago." He introduced himself to her with a smile on his face.
"Makarov huh?" Sayla started to say, getting the small old man's full attention as she went on, "I recall Kinana and Laki telling me about their old Master who acted like a pervert most of the time." She finished saying that with a small glare now being sent toward the old man.
Makarov couldn't help but sweat a little from the look he was getting from the female demon. The others couldn't help but laugh a little from the reaction the small old man did.
"Man, even after we've been gone Gramps can't catch a break huh?" Gray questioned to the others who were closest to him.
"Yeah, though after what we just told, it's nice to see everything calming down a bit," Mirajane told them all, as the white haired woman turned to look at Natsu, as he was closest to her out of the others in the group, "Don't you agree Natsu?"
However, the white haired woman didn't get an answer as the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer kept looking at where Makarov and Sayla were standing. More specifically, the Fairy Tail Wizard was still looking at where the purple haired Guild Master was at.
"Natsu!" Erza called out to him, getting the pink haired male to snap out of his daze. He then looked over to where the red head was at.
"Huh? Did you say something?" Natsu questioned her, since he was too busy staring at Sayla- he meant listening to Makarov and Sayla's conversation.
Yeah that was it.
Before anyone else could say anything else, the doors to the guild opened up once more. This got everyone to cease what they were doing as they saw a small group of three walking in.
"Oh yeah, great job keeping the wyverns' attention by the way." A notable sarcastic voice came from the middle guy in the three figures, who didn't seem to notice everyone else just yet.
"Oh, like it's MY fault everything wants to kill you." The guy on the left answered back, as he was clearly annoyed by his teammate trying to put the blame on him.
"Both of you calm down, we managed to complete the job, and that's all that matters." A familiar violet haired woman on the right spoke to the other two, who merely grumbled as the two then walked to a different part of the guild, none of them noticing the Tenrou group just yet.
For the Tenrou group though, they were surprised to see the familiar woman, as Kinana spoke up loud enough for the other woman to hear her.
"Laki! Over here!" The purple haired woman called out, getting the violet haired woman's attention.
"Oh Kinana," She started to say as she turned to look at where the barmaid was at, "I take it things are going we-"
Laki immediately stopped as her eyes widen as she saw the group believed to vanish years ago. Everyone else simply looked over at her and smiled brightly, with some of them, like Natsu and Wendy, waving over at her.
"Laki! You've grown since we last saw you." Gildarts broke the silence with a smile plastered on the orange haired man's face.
And just like with Kinana earlier, the violet haired woman ran over to them and gave each of them a bone crushing hug, all while tears of happiness were going down her face, all while muttering how they were alive. Many of the others members of the guild around the group couldn't help but smile once more at seeing Laki reunite with her friends from all of those years ago.
After a few minutes to let Laki calm down, Asce, who was still holding Asuka, grabbed a nearby mug from the table as he spoke up loud enough to gather everyone's attention.
"Alright everyone, now the reunions all said and done, how about we don't worry about all the serious stuff for now and celebrate the return of Kinana's and Laki's friends?" The Crusader shouted with joy.
And with those words, everyone else, even the Tenrou Group, couldn't help but yell out in agreement as they all began to go wild just like in the old days of the original guild.
"Master Sayla, how about you stay down here and celebrate with all of us?" The Knight suggested to the Etherious, who didn't look very comfortable by everyone going wild.
"These kind of celebrations aren't to my liking…" Sayla started to say, before Asce handed her back Asuka.
"Come on Master Sayla, it will be fun. Asuka, don't you think it would be more fun if your mother joined us?" Asce asked the little girl, who nodded happily as she looked back at her mother with big eyes.
Now, if there was one thing that the Etherious couldn't resist, no matter how hard she tried, it was the eyes of the little girl in her arms. Sayla sweated a little, trying her hardest to say no. But in the end, she sighed in defeat.
"Alright, I guess I can stay around for the celebration." She relented.
"Yay!" Asuka shouted in joy, glad that her mother would be staying in the main hall with the rest of them.
Sayla couldn't stop the small smile that crept on her face at seeing Asuka light up like that.
'THE NEXT DAY'
It was early morning as the guild was filling up with all of the members. The Tenrou group stayed and slept at the guildhall, since their old homes were destroyed by E.N.D with the rest of Magnolia, they didn't have anywhere else to rest at. A few of then, like Laxus and Gildarts, were already up and running before everyone else was. So it was no surprised when the rest of the Tenrou group appeared from upstairs, they saw Laxus and Gildarts already up and chatting with the others at a large table near the bar.
"Oh, you all are awake." Asce spoke up as he turned to see everyone else emerging from the upper levels of the building.
"Did you all sleep well?" Laki asked them all with a smile, still happy that they have all returned after being gone for so long.
"Yeah, we managed to sleep well," Lucy replied back to the violet haired Wood Maker Mage.
"That's good to hear," Asce spoke up once again with a smile present on his face, though his helmet made it impossible for everyone else to know, "Sit down everyone, Kinana is already making all of us breakfast."
"Sweet! I'm starving!" Natsu exclaimed happily as he ran over and took a seat next to the violet haired woman and the Knight from Kalavar.
Everyone else could help but sweat drop at seeing the pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer acting all hyper and excited due to food. Though, they couldn't deny that they themselves were a bit hungry as well.
It didn't take long for Kinana to come over, with Asce getting up to help her, and gave each of the others their plate of breakfast. Since everyone was hungry, they didn't really talked too much other than Asce, who followed Kinana back to the bar to see if she needed help with anything else. Zin, who was sitting at the bar merely kept an eye on the returned Mages from the bar.
"Ah… that was so good!" Natsu exclaimed happily as he finished his rather large breakfast.
"This meal was manly!" Elfman shouted in agreement.
"I have to admit, Kinana could even rival you now when it comes to cooking Mira." Bickslow stated to the white haired woman, who simply smiled at his words.
"I will admit she has improved. Guess I need to step up my game then." The oldest of the Stauss siblings stated as an aura of determination enveloped her.
This got those who were closer to the woman to shuffle a bit away from her, as they couldn't help but find a determined Mira scary. It was similar to how she used to be like when she was younger before Lisanna's supposed death.
Before anyone else could go onward with their own discussions, the door burst opened once again, getting everyone to look at who showed up. To those who recognized the figure, they couldn't help but feel a bit nervous and unease.
"Oh no… he's back." One member spoke up from his spot.
"I already feel troubled by him being here." Another guild member voiced her own words as well.
"Why couldn't be stay gone longer?" Some other giuld member questioned as he tried to avoid looking at the person in question.
The figure in question, who wasn't paying attention anything else aside from heading toward the bar, looked to be a boy around thirteen years old. He wore what looked like a dark blue metallic armor, covering his chest, arms, hands, legs, and feet. The armor's chest piece had a black skull symbol plastered on it, as well as the gloves and leggings. On his waist were two creepy swords that had skulls on the hilt of the blades. The weapons also had some weird blue glowing runes on them as well. He wasn't wearing a helmet so to say, but he did have a dark blue metallic piece of armor that covered his mouth and nose, and went around to the back of his head. His skin was also unusually pale for unknown reasons. And his eyes also glow an unusual deep blue color as well.
But the think that stood out, at least to the Tenrou group, was the dark purple hair, as well as was his recognizable face; despite the changes it may have gone though. Wendy was the first of the Tenrou group to speak up to break the silence they had.
"R-Romeo?"
Here we are. Chapter done. So what did you all think? Good? Bad? Want me to jump off a cliff? Let me know.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
