E.R.7.'s train pulled up to Sea Lily Town. The town was just like Levy said. It was by the sea with a giant waterfall surrounding it where you can't even see the bottom. There was also a great white fortress in the back with a large tower out in the water and behind that fortress was a large platform. Natalia has accepted her fate now that she's here and there's no escape for her.

"Wait just a minute." Kaemin said as he came up behind her. He grabbed her arms and placed them behind her and placed cuffs on her wrists.

"Am I correct to assume you just put sealing stone cuffs on me?" Natalia said.

"That's right. In case you had any bright ideas of using your magic against us." Kaemin said.

"You worry too much. She turned herself in. Why would she bother escaping?" Jaccu questioned.

"One can never be too cautious." Kaemin said.

"Jaccu's right. I've accepted my fate. I have no reason to fight back." Natalia said.

"Enough debating. Get moving." Rod said as he shoved Natalia out the train and all of them got moving. As they all walked through the town, Natalia had a look around. She saw all the people that were nearby were hiding away.

"Curious as to why they're all hiding?" Kallie said. "The answer is simple. It's because they know who we are."

"I don't understand." Natalia said.

"It happened when we first came here." Rod said. "We never found Eclear around here, but we saw this town could be of great use to us. So we decided to make our base here."

"The people who live here fear us and we use that fear to control them." Kallie said. "They obey us out of fear and that is of benefit to us. It doesn't matter to us how they feel as long as they obey us." Natalia didn't like it, but there was nothing she could do about it. They soon reached a white archway at the edge of town.

"Lower the bridge!" Kaemin called out. A bridge was lowered from the archway and it connect the land to the white fortress. All of them walked across the bridge and by the time they made it in the fortress, the bridge was drawn back. Natalia looked up and saw the tower split into many floors.

"Let's go, Natalia. There's someone people up there that wants to say hello." Jaccu said as they moved her to some stairs and they all made their way up the tower. They kept going until they reached an office near the top.

"The rest of them are in there, aren't they?" Natalia asked.

"That's right." Kallie said. The doors opened up and inside was the rest of this unit, the remaining three members.

"Aw! You're finally back." Natalia looked around and saw the other members of E.R.7.

"Yoho! You made it back and with success that I see." One of them was a male, but had long and flowing pink hair with him wearing a classic suit. This one is named Yonku.

"Cha-cha-cha. It's not really surprising when you think about it. As if anyone could really stand up to some of these guys." The other was male too. He wore a black blazer and pants with a black and white striped shirt. He had a slender body with messy lead-colored hair. His name is Foota.

"Excellent work. You managed to bring back the traitor." This one said behind a desk. He wore a black vest with a lavender dress shirt underneath and a black cape over his shoulders. He wore black pants with boots underneath. He also wore a black floppy hat with a lavender feather on it and had black hair underneath. His name is Sonder and this one is the one in charge. "Natalia, it's been a while hasn't it. Why don't you come closer?" Natalia was a little hesitant to go near him.

"He told you to go closer. So go." Rod said as he shoved her towards him. Natalia did what she was told and walked over to Sonder's desk. Sonder stood up and walked over to the desk so he was right in front of Natalia. He smirked at her and Natalia was nervous on what he would do. Sonder smacked Natalia across the face and knocked her off the feet.

"I hope it was worth it. Was it? Joining a pathetic guild and being branded as a traitor?" Sonder taunted.

"You really haven't changed at all." Natalia said.

"Be quiet." Sonder said as he kicked her right in the gut. "Don't be so judgmental. You've got nothing over me. I can't believe you actually left E.R.6. and became part of a guild. A pathetic one at that if they couldn't handle four people. I don't understand how your unit got beaten."

"Easy there, Sonder." Kallie said. "We didn't really get a good read on Fairy Tail's strength. Natalia surrender herself to us before we could really do any permanent damage and I doubt they really showed us all they could do."

"Really? They looked pathetic to me." Jaccu said.

"No matter." Sonder said. "We were tasked with retrieving Natalia and that's just what we did. I hope you're ready, Natalia, because your time of death draws ever so closer." Natalia knew there was no hope for her, but what she doesn't know is that hope is on the way.

…

Fairy Tail

When the guild learned the truth about Natalia, they all decided to go and save her. All of them boarded a train to Sea Lily Town and are on their way as we speak.

"I'm glad that we're all on the same page to save Natalia, but isn't sending everyone in the guild overkill?" Juvia asked.

"Not really." Lucy said. "Makarov says that if we really want Natalia to come back, to see that Fairy Tail is a place for her to be welcomed even when it seems like she's given up, he wants everyone to be there to show how much she's loved now."

"That's right." Makarov said as he was on a chair while his wheelchair stayed in place. "The more we show we care for Natalia, the more likely she'll come back. With the whole guild coming, it's guaranteed."

"Master, are you sure about coming?" Mira asked.

"I might not be a wizard saint anymore and the use in my legs might be no more, but I refuse to do nothing when one of my children is close to death." Makarov said.

"No one in Fairy Tail would just stand around while one of our own is in such danger." Levy said.

"I guess that would explain why you're coming even though you're carrying child." Panther Lily said.

"Gajeel didn't really agree to that, did he?" Happy asked.

"I say ask him, but then again…." Carla said as she saw all three of the dragon slayers were sick to their stomach as usual.

"Where's Laxus? Isn't he a dragon slayer as well?" Panther Lily asked.

"He's too embarrassed to be seen with motion sickness." Levy said with an amused smile. "So he hid himself in the farthest part of the train so no one sees him like that."

"Figures." Happy said.

"Let's stay focus. It won't be long." Makarov said as they all draw closer and closer.

…

Erza and Gray

Erza and Gray tried to continue to the town on foot. They were able to soon arrive at the town and could see the fortress in their sights.

"That must be the place." Gray said.

"Natalia's down there somewhere. We should try and see if we can get any information on E.R." Erza said. "The citizens should be able to tell us all that we need to know." Gray was in agreement, but he noticed something moving through the trees.

"I don't think we have to wait to ask." Gray said. Erza had a look around and saw a few citizens surrounding them and it seems like they want to fight. "What's this all about?"

"Take a good look at them." Erza said as she noticed their postures. "It looks like they're only defending themselves out of fear. We can't hurt them."

"Don't tell me. I'm not Natsu." Gray said as they readied themselves for what they need to do.

…

Natalia

"I see. So that's what happened." Sonder said as the members of E.R.7. just finished explaining what happened to the guild. "If you ask me, you should have finished them all off regardless."

"We couldn't. We made a deal with Natalia like we said." Rod said.

"Cha-cha-cha. That certainly is strange." Foota said. "Rod, you never make deals like that. Why would you agree to something like that?" All of them turned their attention to Rod, but he actually had a sneaky smirk.

"It's because I know what's going to happen next." Rod said.

"Really? Tell us more." Sonder said.

"Kallie, Jaccu, Kaemin, why do you think I didn't act sooner when I knew two members of Fairy Tail were on the train?" Rod questioned and Natalia wasn't liking this. "I knew fully well that they were there from the start, but I wanted them to hear Natalia's life story."

"I thought you were just taunting her and trying to break her spirit." Jaccu said.

"That too." Rod said. "I've heard a lot about Fairy Tail. It's a guild that puts friendship over everything. I knew some of the members would want to come after her and try to save her. Once I learned those two were on board, I gave them even more reasons to come after us. I've sent a message ahead alerting the town of their arrival."

"I see." Kallie said as she adjusted her glasses. "You want Fairy Tail to come after us so we can eliminate them. You always did think ahead, Rod."

"And we have the entire town to fight for us and under our control." Kaemin said. "Since they're a legal guild, they wouldn't dare strike down on innocent civilians."

"Hold on!" Natalia said. "That wasn't part of the deal. You said you let the members of Fairy Tail live if I turned myself in. I kept my end of the bargain, but you're going back on yours? You can't do that."

"You be quiet!" Sonder said as he smacked her again. "You don't have a lot of room to talk. This wouldn't be happening if you hadn't joined the guild in the first place. You brought this upon them just like you bring misery upon others."

"Besides, we agreed to keep everyone in the guild alive, but now they're no longer in the guild." Rod said. "A technicality, but we were never ones for keeping our words. Remember that we will do whatever it takes to get our way. That's why we call this fortress the White Tower of Death."

"That's right. So keep your mouth shut." Sonder said as he started stomping on her and all she could do was take it.

"He's got a lot of issues. Do you think he's got a lot off pent up feelings with him being the weakest?" Jaccu said. "Why do we take orders from him?"

"He bribed his way in. He came from a wealthy family." Kaemin said. "That would also explain his arrogance."

"I heard that!" Sonder said. "It works. You all take orders from me. I'm the brain and you all are the muscles. That's how it always works."

"Sure." All of them said, but they all did really mean it.

"Hey! Give me a break! Say it like you mean it." Sonder said.

…

The Train Station

"Solid ground! Yes!" Natsu said as he and the rest of the guild arrived in Sea Lily Town and the dragon slayers were feeling a lot better.

"So Natalia is here somewhere? I sure hope we can find her." Wendy said. Everyone was ready for this, but Lucy noticed something was strange.

"That's strange. Why is there no one here?" Lucy said as she looked around. "This station is practically deserted."

"That's because we took care of it." They noticed Gray and Erza and Juvia was getting excited.

"My darling Gray! I've missed you!" Juvia said as she was running to his arms. Gray accepted it, but kept it short.

"Not now, okay." Gray said. "We've got a serious problem. The entire town is against us."

"What do you mean?" Mira asked.

"The entire town is under E.R.7.'s command." Erza said. "They all knew we would be coming and are ready to fight off against us."

"Unbelievable!" Lucy said.

"What about Natalia? Where is she?" Natsu said.

"We did managed to get some information." Gray said. "They're holding Natalia in the white fortress that's on the water. That's where those creeps have been using as their base, but there's something else."

"I need all I need to know!" Natsu said as he wasn't waiting around. He was running as fast as he could to the fortress.

"Natsu, wait. There is something you need to know!" Gray called out.

"What is it?" Wendy asked.

"We learned that this town is right on the edge of an area of the ocean called the Forgotten Sea." Erza said.

"The Forgotten Sea?" Happy questioned.

"I think I've read about that." Levy said. "Apparently, the Forgotten Sea is an area in the ocean that holds thick fog banks, underwater volcanoes, and many other obstacles. It's next to impossible to track anything that goes there."

"Exactly. Not even Natsu's strong sense of smell would be of any help out there." Erza said.

"So what you're saying is that we need to rescue Natalia before they decide to take her out to sea." Gajeel summarized.

"Yeah." Gray said. "If they decide to take Natalia out to sea, we'll lose her forever and will never be able to find her." Now they have to rescue a friend, fight off against a whole town, and do it all before it's too late.
