In the morning Makarov is with Mira in the guild awaiting for all of their fellow wizard friends to show up, at least those not on quests. Lucy and Levy are the first ones in the guild, worry on their faces. The writer-reader duo exclaim that something has happened in the park and that they need to come. Makarov and Mira look at each other before dropping what they are doing and going with the Celestial Spirit and Solid Script wizards.
Levy and Lucy are surprisingly fast runners, even Mira has to keep up on her own legs. Makarov is using his magic to keep up with the three young wizards and is even having trouble not falling behind. The two young wizards bring their Master and friend to the park where everyone is gathered around a tree. Freed and Evergreen are taking care of Laxus on the left, Jet, Droy, and Wendy are helping Gajeel on the left and in the center is Erza and Natsu with Gray.
"Man, this is just like when Phantom Lord attacked us." Lucy notes.
"Yeah, except three of our strongest got attacked this time." Levy adds.
"Who did this and why?!" Natsu exclaims in a fury. "I'm the only one allowed to knock-on Ice Brain but not even I would go this far!"
Lucy goes over to Natsu and calms him down while Levy joins her two teammates with Gajeel. Makarov gives Mira orders to and get some of the other guilders and get Laxus, Gajeel, and Gray back to the guild's infirmary, as he makes his way through the crowd to the requip wizard who is currently helping out her former partner before they formed Team Natsu.
The scarlet-hair young woman in kneeling in front of a passed out Ice Mage. "Erza, what happened here?" The guild master questions.
"We do not know, Master. All we do know is that the mark of Gray's torso," Makarov stops at her side and sees the deep dark violet color on the Ice Mage's pale skin. "Belongs to Raven Tail. That's not all, they left us this in Gray's pocket." Erza holds up a folded piece of crisp clean white paper before handing it to the older wizard.
Laxus's grandfather carefully takes the piece of paper before opening it. As he reads the words written, the eldest wizard in Fairy Tail gets looks of surprise and worry on his face before schooling them and going back to a stern cooled demeanor.
"Master, is something wrong?" Erza wonders. Just then Mira comes in with Elfman, Bisca, Alzack and all of the other Fairy Tail members that had not been at the park already.
"Nothing is wrong. But since everyone is here, get these three back to the infirmary. Once they are awake and mobile I will tell you everything."
All of the members nod. Mira helps with Gray and Levy and her team left up Gajeel while Elfman helps Evergreen and Freed. As the current three unconscious members are being transported Makarov clenches the note in his fists. He does not take it lightly when someone attacks his family, his children, and he will always make sure that the attacker knows this. Even if the person is his own family.
Gray groans awake as the late morning sun shines down on his face through the window. His vision is blurry at first but he soon sees three, no four, familiar faces staring at him. Two are of girls with long hair,-one with blonde with half of her hair pulled into a side ponytail, the other with a vibrant red hair that is fully down-one is of a young man around his age with pink-spiky-hair sticking out in all directions, and the last one being of a blue cat.
"Guys," Gray groans as he sits up. Hand going to his head as he feels something pounding against his skull. "What time is it? How long have I been out?"
"Seven years." Natsu jokes.
"I'm not in the mood for your games Natsu." The young Fullbuster exclaims, clutching part of the blanket in his fist.
"Now is not the time for either of you to try something!" Erza shouts. Gray and Natsu quickly give a "yes ma'am!" before giving up on whatever fight they were about to do. The S-Class wizard then informs them that since Gray is the last one awake, Makarov wants to see everyone in the main guildhall to talk to them. Natsu and Erza help go to either side of the raven-hair young man as Lucy and Happy lead the way.
When they enter, Makarov relaxes-not that anyone would have seen it if they had not been looking-before taking a breath, pounding a gavel to gain everyone's attention. "As you all know three of our members were attacked last night. Gajeel Redfox, Gray Fullbuster, and Laxus Dreyar. And it is knowledge that Laxus is my own grandson, and that his father, my son, has been kicked out of Fairy Tail."
Gray wonders to Erza when Gramps reinstated Laxus. Lucy replies that Laxus was the first one awake and after talking, Makarov allowed Laxus to come back.
"I never knew where my son went or what he was doing. But through a source years ago, I learned he made his own dark guild. After our fight with Phantom, with Gajeel and Juvia joining us," Gray's head snaps up as he looks through the crowd of heads for the familiar blue-hair, blue-eyes, blue attire woman. Where was she? He groans lowly as some memories from the previous night come back to mind.
"After the Battle of Fairy Tail, while Magnolia was recovering before we could continue our festivities, I had Gajeel track down Ivan to see what he has been up to recently. His guild, Raven Tail, has been brewing something but no one, not even Gajeel, knows what. Not until last night. After using a memory spell on Gajeel, Ivan and one of his members, Bora, attacked Juvia, Gray, and him last night. They planted a note as well, it does not give much indication as to why he wants Juvia all that he is planning something and she is going to help if, even if she is not willing to do so."
Gray has stopped listening as soon as Gramps informs them that Juvia has been kidnapped. His heart stopping in his chest; surprisingly he feels as if he as frozen over. Kidnapped. Juvia. She was one of Phantom's elite mages and part of their Element Four, then she joined Fairy Tail and has grown to care for her new friends and family and has shown just how much they mean to her.
"...Eventually while Natsu, Erza, Gray, Happy, and Lucy were dealing with the Oracion Seis, I sent Gajeel back to Ivan, this time with Juvia with him to see if they could find anymore information unfortunately they did not get any." Makarov finishes.
"Master, what are we going to do?" Cana speaks up after a moment of silence.
