Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.
On a small hilltop of ancient ruins, a slim, muscular young man with spiky blond hair sat with his back facing his black-haired partner, who was standing with his back to the blond man.
"Apparently, they've come back," the blond man said.
"What are you talking about?" The black-haired man replied.
"The core members of Fairy Tail that disappeared 7 years ago," came his answer.
"I'm not interested," the black-haired man calmly said, even though he was lying just a little.
"Don't lie to me, Rogue," the blond man told him. "Especially when you looked up to Natsu that much."
After a pause, Rogue replied, "That was a long time ago."

"Have you decided yet on the many reform proposals, Sage Org?" A man in the Magic Council's uniform asked the councilman.
"No, Lahar… That still requires more time," Org responded. "More importantly, you all should have heard by now, haven't you?"
"I assume you're talking about Fairy Tail's core members returning?" Lahar inquired while the man on his right, named Doranbolt stood silently, looking at the ground.
Turning his attention to Doranbolt, Lahar asked him, "Looks like that's one load off your chest, right?"
… I had already discarded them from my thoughts, Doranbolt thought, filling with emotions and not once looking up from the ground.
At the lack of a response from Doranbolt, the Sage decided to speak up. "These 7 years have been too quiet," he said. "We've been keeping an eye on Sabertooth, the new powerhouse, without much to worry about. Tartaros hasn't done anything suspicious and nor has what's left of Grimoire Heart. There isn't any new information on Zeref or Acnologia either."
As Lahar and Doranbolt nodded in agreement, the Sage continued, "The most action we've had at the Council in the last 7 years came in the form of a young girl who suddenly became known the strongest mage on the continent, but that happened only right before we learned of the return of Fairy Tail's core members."
At this, Doranbolt looked up. "Do you think they could be related somehow?" He asked.
Neither Lahar nor Org could give an answer to that question, but they all silently agreed that it could not be discarded as a possibility.
/ Magnolia Town /
Two weeks had passed since the missing Fairy Tail mages had returned and already, there were two rumors spreading rapidly across the countries. The first was of their return and the second was of a mysterious girl suddenly becoming the first ranked Wizard Saint, which was absurd, but nonetheless, a popular rumor.
The members of Fairy Tail who had been stuck on Tenrou Island had not aged at all in the last 7 years, so they still looked the same, but those who stuck with the guild all that time had certainly changed. To make up for all the time lost between them, everyone in the guild partied their hearts out every day and others began mending relations strained by the years lost.
All seemed well…
"Sabertooth?" Questioned a certain Fire Dragon Slayer named Natsu Dragneel.
"They're currently the strongest mage guild in Fiore," a black-haired fire mage named Romeo Conbolt told Natsu.
"I've never heard of them," said Fairy Tail's Ice-Make mage, Gray Fullbuster.
"They weren't anything special 7 years ago," a Guns Magic user named Alzack Connell told them.
"You're saying they grew suddenly over these last 7 years?" Gray questioned, slightly confused as to how they could've managed such a feat.
"It started when they added five strange, but powerful mages to their ranks," a sand mage named Max Alors told them.
"5 people alone made that much of a difference?" The guild's Celestial Spirit mage, Lucy Heartfilia, asked skeptically while Natsu, seemingly excited, grinned widely and said, "Oh? I like his style."
Before Lucy could reply, the Sky Dragon Slayer, Wendy Marvell, asked, "So what rank does that leave our guild in now?"
"You really want to know?" Nastu's Exceed, Happy, asked Wendy, whose own Exceed, Carla, added, "You haven't heard yet?" Both seemed rather displeased.
Wendy could only be confused because indeed, she had not heard yet, just like the others that hadn't been around for 7 years.
"Absolute last place", "a super tiny, weak little guild", "the weakest guild in Fiore", came the gloomy responses from Romeo, Alzack and his wife, Bisca respectively. At this, Wendy felt bad for asking and immediately apologized.
Disregarding any negativity, Natsu started laughing madly, shouting, "SOUNDS GREAT!" to the surprise of both Lucy and Gray. Continuing as to explain himself, he said, "I'm looking forward to the chance to climb our way higher! How many opportunities like that do you get?! I'M GETTING ALL FIRED UP NOW!"
Gray grumbled audibly at Natsu's antics, but his positivity had lifted everyone else back up.
Not long after, the third master of the guild, Makarov Dreyar, called everyone towards the bar area of their temporary guild building (since the old one was still in ruins for the time being). After an extensive list of statements that seemed rather like excuses, he stated, "My point is that I've decided to retire," much to the shock of those present. The key phrase being 'those present'. As he tried to announce the Ace of Fairy Tail, Gildarts Clive, as the fifth master (since the title of 'fourth master' was taken by Macao Conbolt, Romeo's father), he found that Gildarts wasn't actually present, but had only left a letter.
It read:
To Master and all friends here…
Sorry to say I'm not suitable to be the master…
Well, anyway, selected as the fifth master, I'd like to do three things for you.
The first is to acknowledge Laxus Dreyar as a member of Fairy Tail.
The second is to nominate Makarov Dreyar to be the sixth master of Fairy Tail.
The third is to warmly welcome a possibly questionable newcomer when they decide to show themselves.
I'll travel around for some time, and will come back someday.
Take care, all of you.
And Cana… sorry to leave you again.
You can always pray to the card when you miss me and your feelings will reach my card so that I will fly to you.
Master, this is your last job:
To lead Fairy Tail to be the Number 1 guild of Fiore!
Throughout different parts of the letter, feelings were diverse. Makarov was shocked when Gildarts claimed to not be suited for the job of master, which caused the other guild members to laugh. At Laxus's reinstatement to the guild, Makarov got quite pissed at Gildarts but later conceded to him, which gave Lisanna Strauss, a transformation mage, a few laughs. Laxus, on the other hand, was far from his arrogant side, grateful for Gildarts's kind gesture. His followers, the Thunder God Tribe, made up of Freed Justine (who uses Letter Magic and Eye Magic), Evergreen (who uses Fairy Magic, Eye Magic and Letter Magic) and Bickslow (who uses Seith Magic and Eye Magic), were ecstatic at his return, slightly embarrassing the Lightning Dragon Slayer. At Makarov's return to being guild master, Makarov himself was shocked, shouting "ME AGAIN?!" while the rest of the guild laughed as his response. At the mention of a strange someone needing a warm welcome, though, the guild ran silent. No one had a clue who it could possibly be and they couldn't think of a reason why this would need to be mentioned when they were such an accepting and warm guild. They all decided to keep the information in the back of their minds while Makarov resumed reading the letter with some hesitation. At the part directed to Cana, who is the daughter of Gildarts, she ripped up the card given to her, claiming to not need it because she liked the way things were before. At the part where Gildarts mentioned Makarov's "last job", Makarov lost it and decided to never retire again, becoming master for life.
By the end of the letter, people's minds drifted to two topics: First, the mysterious person mentioned vaguely and second, the goal of making Fairy Tail #1.
First thing's first, so…
\\ Flashback \\
It was the day that Gildarts had been told he would be the next guild master and he was a little overwhelmed, to say the least. He just needed some rest, so he decided to go back home for a bit, but something caught his eye.
He saw the first master, Mavis Vermillion, on the bridge that he took to get home, but that wasn't what bothered him all that much. Instead, it was the fact that he saw a young girl in all black talking with Mavis animatedly. Gildarts had been told that only those with the Fairy Tail mark could see and interact with the first master, but he had never seen this girl before and assumed that she wasn't a member of the guild. How can she even see the first master, never mind be so friendly with her? Gildarts questioned mentally.
Sensing his presence, the girl in question turned around to face him, smiling. "Hello, Gildarts Clive, Ace of Fairy Tail, newly unofficial fifth master," she said brightly. "Mavis was just telling me that there was a 99.5% chance that you'd refuse the position."
Gildarts, unsure of how to respond, started with "I'm pretty sure she'd be right about that, but how can you even see her, never mind talk with her as you do?"
The girl furrowed a brow at this, asking "What do you mean by 'how can you even see her'? Am I not supposed to able to see Mavis or something?"
Gildarts nodded. "Only Fairy Tail mages are supposed to be able to see or interact with her in that form," he told her.
At this, the girl turned to Mavis and said, "You never told me about this!", faking a pout and using a playful accusing voice.
Mavis, who giggled, said, "Well, it's not like you needed to know that since you can see me just fine. Besides, what difference would it make for you?"
"... You're right, as usual…" the girl replied, feigning sadness and shame. Regaining her happy attitude, she faced Mavis and asked, "Didn't you have something you wanted to tell Gildarts?"
Nodding, Mavis turned to Gildarts, asking "I figure you won't be guild master for very long, but while you are, could you do something to make her feel welcomed when she decides to join?"
Why wouldn't she be welcomed at our guild? Gildarts wondered. We take in basically anyone, no matter who they are. "Sure, I guess, but who even is she?"
Mavis turned to the girl as if to ask if she was ready to introduce herself. Nodding in affirmation, the girl turned to Gildarts and said, "I am Azu Yami, first ranked Wizard Saint, and as for how I'm able to talk to Mavis the way I do, we met on Tenrou Island about two weeks ago while it was still undetected and missing."
Gildarts, slightly shocked that this was the girl that the rumors were talking about, turned to Mavis looking for confirmation.
Smiling at him, Mavis said, "She is who she says she is, and she's the one who brought the island back up and out of the dark, pretty much saving all of you."
"Don't put it like that…" Azu mumbled, blushing and staring at the ground embarrassed.
At this, Gildarts was even more shocked, but getting over it, he decided that the guild really owed this girl, Azu. "Of course, if she saved us, it is necessary for us to welcome her warmly when she decides to join us," he said. Turning to Azu, he bowed slightly and thanked her, embarrassing her once again.
Both girls said their farewells to Gildarts before vanishing like they never existed. He could only be left with the thought: What an interesting girl…
\\ End Flashback \\
Most in the guild had heard of rumors about a mysterious girl who suddenly became the top-ranked Wizard Saint, but the reference to a 'questionable newcomer' by Gildarts added another mystery. Nobody knew what to make of the two mysteries that had come in quick succession, so most resorted to storing it in the back of their minds for later reference.
Turning to the second topic at hand, the telepathy mage, Warren Rocko, laughed and said, "Gildarts said to be No. 1 of Fiore…"
Max replied, "It's really too greedy, don't you think so?"
A woman with scarlet hair, Erza Scarlet, walked up to them and said, "Nope. I think positivity is great."
"It might've been possible 7 years ago, but everything's changed," Max told her.
Alzack, Bisca and their child Asuka picked up where he left off, stating, "Besides Sabertooth", "Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale have both grown into massive guilds, much stronger than 7 years ago" and a squeaked "large guilds", respectively.
A few others chimed in saying that even though the guild had it core members back, they hadn't strengthened at all in the last 7 years, leaving them quite a lot weaker than the times permitted. Such a weakened state, by comparison, would take quite some time for them to make up for, but then Romeo interrupted.
"We can't and don't want to afford 'more time'," he started. "There's only one way for us to become No. 1 in no time!"
With that, there were many angry gasps from the mages who were not on Tenrou Island, while those who were trapped for 7 years were utterly confused. The mages that had experienced this 'one way' were apparently very adamant about not doing it again, but that didn't help the confusion of others.
Eventually, Romeo explained that there was a new festival held for the past 7 years known as the Grand Magic Games where the guilds from around Fiore gather and compete. The winner of the Games would become the number one guild in the country, so this was the quick way to reach Gildarts's wish.
"But… I doubt we'll be able to do too well…" Makarov said quietly.
"The winner gets a bonus of 30,000,000 Jewels!" Romeo added. At this, Makarov was instantly sold, eager to win the games.
With the Games being held in three months, the members of Fairy Tail all got busy with their preparations for training.
Two weeks prior, upon arriving in Crocus, Azu found a bench and sat down to do some analysis of her newly acquired information.
For now, the only things I want to know are how to live life here, the organization of mages into guilds and stuff like that, information on the guilds and their mages, and I guess my history lesson can wait until later…
Life in Fiore:
{Currency, since money means a lot… Jewel, which is worth 1 USD per 100 Jewel. Clothing… People here apparently wear whatever they want, literally, so it doesn't matter who you are. Cosplaying like a moron might just be your desire and no one would really care. Great, now I'll have to deal with that… whatever. Where to get clothing… A place called 'Heart Kreuz' seems popular with girls and they have a store near here, so I can go there to get myself some local clothing. Food… everything is food in a way, apparently. Mannerism… No one cares too much as long as you're not a complete asshole.}
Organization of Mages and Guilds:
{Types of guilds… Legal Guilds, Dark Guilds and Independent Guilds. A Legal Guild is one that has been approved and registered by the Magic Council. A Dark Guild has not been approved by the Magic Council and is treated as a criminal organization. An Independent Guild is a mix of both, where it has not been approved nor registered by the Magic Council as a Legal Guild would be, but at the same time, it is not considered a criminal organization like a Dark Guild. Apparently, Independent Guilds can do as they like as long as the Magic Council doesn't disapprove of their actions. Note: There are not only magic guilds but also merchant, mercenary, treasure hunter, bandit, workmen, combat and industrial guilds among others. … The Interguild Dispute Interdiction Treaty forbids acts of aggression between guilds, although some guilds choose to ignore this. … Dark Guilds and Independent Guilds can become approved and registered over time and Legal and Independent Guilds can become Dark Guilds should their actions warrant such a move.}
Notable Guilds and Mages in Fiore:
{Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Mermaid Heel, Quatro Cerberus, Raven Tail, Crime Sorcière, and the Dark Guilds of the Balam Alliance, Oración Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Tartaros. Note: Oración Seis was defeated by Fairy Tail before they were trapped on Tenrou Island and are not imprisoned by the Magic Council. Note: Grimoire Heart no longer exists as all their members are either dead, inactive, or have defected to Crime Sorcière.}
Personalities of members of Dark Guilds should be noted, seeing as they might be viewed as irrational in the future otherwise, even if they are mildly rational in their situations.
Oración Seis: {
~ Brain/Zero - Guild master with two personalities, although both are arrogant to no end. The first personality is the one he usually has, which loves fame and attention. The second personality is one that loves destruction, is much more merciless, and is actually feared by the first personality. The rest of his guild currently (moderately) hates him, now knowing that they were used by him to seal away his second personality.
~ Klodoa - A magical weapon used by Brain through which Darkness Magic is performed. Darkness Magic is that which manipulates and controls destructive Dark Magic.
~ Midnight - His real name is Macbeth and is the adoptive son of Brain. He is very laid back, but also very sadistic and cold-hearted at times. He uses Darkness Magic and Reflector, which is magic that enables its user to twist and distort almost anything, other than living things.
~ Cobra - His real name is Erik and is the Poison Dragon Slayer. He used to be much like the others in his guild, arrogant and complacent, but with his time in prison, he's become more understanding yet more irritable.
~ Cubellios - The former pet snake of Erik, who is now known as Kinana, a human. She was actually a human to begin with but was turned into a snake by a now-deceased mage. Currently, she is an employee of Fairy Tail and not working as a mage.
~ Angel - Her real name is Sorano. She believes that all humans are impure and that living as a human might as well be a sin, hence her obsession with angels, seeing them as perfection. She uses Celestial Spirit Magic (a magic that calls Celestial Spirits from their own separate world to aid their summoner) and Angel Magic (a magic using 'Angel Coins' to summon angels at the cost of some years from the caster's lifespan).
~ Racer - His real name is Sawyer and he's absolutely obsessed with speed. He can be extremely dedicated and passionate when he sees fit, but he can be cruel nonetheless. Relating to his obsession with speed, he uses Time Magic (to slow down the time of others around him) and Vehicle Magic (which allows him to summon vehicles and alter their properties).
~ Hoteye - His real name is Richard Buchanan and is seemingly the strangest of the bunch. Rather than being cruel and sadistic, he's now kindhearted and obsessed with love and goodness. He uses Earth Magic (that which softens the earth) and Eye Magic (Heaven's Eye, which allows him to see long distances and through solid objects).
}
Grimoire Heart: {Of those that are powerful and still actually alive:
~ Bluenote Stinger - The most powerful mage of Grimoire Heart other than its master prior to leaving the guild, he is now a part of Orochi's Fin, a rival guild of Lamia Scale. He is usually anxious for battle and very confident in his abilities, considering fighting a way to keep the body in shape, (not that he's wrong in that sense). He uses Gravity Magic, which is exactly what it sounds like, and is practically a master of it.
~ Ultear Milkovich - Defected from the guild and is currently in Crime Sorcière.
~ Meredy Milkovich - Defected from the guild and is currently in Crime Sorcière.
~ Rustyrose - Currently obsessed with reviving Grimoire Heart, he's not in the best state of mind. That aside, he is a user of Lost Magic, the Arc of Embodiment, which allows its user to create and use basically anything it can imagine. In other words, it's useless to me because I can do the same thing without magic…
~ Kain Hikaru - He's nowhere on the continent, so he can be ignored… However, his use of Black Magic, especially his doll that could control people with only a single strand of hair, is interesting.
~ Capricorn - After somehow being possessed by Zoldeo, a now-deceased member of Grimoire Heart, Capricorn has returned to being a Celestial Spirit and is now under Lucy Heartfilia, a Fairy Tail mage.
}
Tartaros:
{Unknown… Headquarters are located on a giant magical cube called… Cube. Unoriginal, but I'll need to personally visit them, I guess…}
Crime Sorcière: {
~ Jellal Fernandes - He deeply regrets his past, even though he knew he was being manipulated, and co-founded Crime Sorcière in an attempt to atone for his sins by destroying Dark Guilds. He uses Heavenly Body Magic (a type of magic that uses the properties of astronomical objects such as extreme speed and destruction), Though Projections, Darkness Magic, Fire Magic, Water Magic, Wind Magic, Earth Magic, Telepathy and Telekinesis.
~ Ultear Milkovich - Formerly part of the Magic Council, she possessed a young Jellal and used him in an attempt to revive Zeref (Note to self: Research "Zeref"). She too co-founded the guild to atone for her deep and numerous sins. She is a Lost Magic user, using the Arc of Time, which can alter the "time" of anything. For instance, she can send something to the future, which causes its move at extremely high speeds to a new position, also taking into account all future possibilities, which creates many different versions of the original object. She can also send things to the past, returning them to the state they used to be in. She can also use Telekinesis, Possession Magic, Magic Sword (for close combat), Ice-Make (which allows users to make different things out of ice from their hands), Transformation Magic (which allows users to change their appearance and/or abilities), Thought Projections and Telepathy.
~ Meredy Milkovich - The adoptive daughter of Ultear Milkovich and another Lost Magic user. She uses Maguilty Sense, which allows the senses of different people to be connected and allows for the manipulation of the senses. Additionally, if the senses of two or more people are connected, should one of them die, all of the connected people will die as well.
}
Powerful Mages/Magics in Legal Guilds:
Quatro Cerberus:
{Bacchus Groh - Nicknamed "The Drunk Falcon" for his great enjoyment of alcohol, he is a master of Palm Magic, which focuses power on the palms of one's hands. Combined with his mastery of Chop Hanging Palm, a martial art of mostly palm strikes, he is a strong opponent.}
Mermaid Heel:
{Kagura Mikazuchi - She is mostly calm and stoic, a collected and rational person overall. She is an expert of Gravity Magic and is a master of swordsmanship, able to defeat or cut through almost anything without even unsheathing her sword, Archenemy. Note: Dresses like a rich Japanese girl – (again with the Japanese relations with this world...)}
Blue Pegasus: {
~ Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki - While an absolutely disgusting man who always says "Men…" regardless of reasonability or rationale, he is a genius when it comes to Perfume Magic. He can do just about anything with his perfumes, although that is his only advantage. Everything else about him is a weakness and frankly, he's a coward.
~ Jenny Realight - … Very confident in her sex appeal… A user of Machina Soul, a kind of Take Over Magic, which allows a user to gain the abilities of a certain kind of entity by 'taking them over', hence its name. Her particular Take Over Magic allows her to use the properties of machines.
~ Hibiki Lates - Even though he's not particularly strong, he is still very useful with his Archive Magic, which allows him to find and transfer information, or even use screens as offensive and defensive weapons.
}
Lamia Scale: {
~ Jura Neekis - The fifth-ranked Wizard Saint with a very humble personality, he uses Earth Magic. While relatively simple, his magic is very powerful because he is able to take the ground, no matter how little, and make it as hard as iron. Large quantities of such a material would be devastating to most opponents, hence his title as the fifth-ranked Wizard Saint. (Note to self: research the other Wizard Saints.)
~ Lyon Vastia - An Ice-Make mage, he can create both animate and inanimate beings with his magic. He also knows a little Snow Magic and Ice Magic, Blizzard and Iced Shell respectively, the latter of which requires the caster to forfeit their life as a human to seal away something in ice forever.
~ Sherry Blendy - While the mage herself isn't so great, the potential of her magic is. Doll Attack is magic that can animate and control anything except for humans. The control is almost absolute, with the exception of a Celestial Spirit being recalled if their summoner tries hard enough.
~ Yuka Suzuki - Mage aside, the idea of canceling out magic with a magic called 'Wave' seems interesting. While he only uses his hands for it, if I can use it with my entire body, it would surely be very useful.
~ Sherria Blendy - The Sky God Slayer and cousin of Sherry Blendy (even though their last names are the same?)
}
Sabertooth: {
~ Jiemma - A complete asshole and somehow the guild master of the strongest guild in Fiore, he is very physically powerful despite his age and is adept at Blast Magic, which can produce both blasts and shockwaves.
~ Minerva Orland - The daughter of Jiemma, she is the strongest mage in Sabertooth, although her personality belongs in Dark Guild. She uses Territory, a magic that revolves around the manipulation of space. She can transport things and people instantly, change the properties of space, et cetera. The magic's only limits are the person's imagination and ability.
~ Sting Eucliffe - The White Dragon Slayer, who has an Exceed named Lector.
~ Rogue Cheney - The Shadow Dragon Slayer, who has an Exceed named Frosch.
~ Orga Nanagear - The Lightning God Slayer. Note: Likes singing but is pretty bad.
~ Rufus Lore - Uses Memory-Make magic, which allows him to materialize anything he has in his memory, and Telekinesis. Memory-Make is useful, yes, but not as potent as Rustyrose's Arc of Embodiment.
~ Yukino Agria - The younger sister of Angel/Sorano (Oración Seis), she is a Celestial Spirit mage in possession of two of the Gold Keys (Pisces and Libra) as well as the Black Key of Ophiuchus.
}
Raven Tail: {
Apparently, Raven Tail was created as the 'Anti-Fairy Tail Guild'.
~ Obra - A little green… creature? Regardless, not much is known about him other than that he has the ability to cancel out magic completely, no matter how powerful (we'll see about that…). It's useful in the same was as Yuka Suzuki's Wave Magic, but a lot more potent and dangerous in this case.
~ Kurohebi - He uses Mimic Magic, which is exactly as it sounds: He can mimic/copy the magic of others and use it as his own. I should try this out instead of just stealing the magic - it might actually make fights more interesting…
}
Fairy Tail: {
~ Mavis Vermillion - She uses Illusion Magic, the Three Great Magics of Fairy Tail, Thought Projections, Telepathy, Black Magic and the Black Arts due to being cursed by Ankhseram Black Magic, also known as the Contradictory Curse. This Contradictory Curse causes the opposite effect of what is wanted by its carrier in regards to life and death. If the person values life, then all will die around them. If the person loves another deeply without any wavering, then that person will die upon receiving said love.
~ Makarov Dreyar - The current guild master and sixth-ranked Wizard Saint, he uses Giant Magic (effectively making him a giant), Maximum Defense Seal, Light Magic, Fairy Law (one of the Three Great Magics of Fairy Tail), Fire Magic, Ice Magic, Wind Magic, Telepathy, Dispelling Magic and Requip Magic (which is basically 'Re-equip Magic', meaning the caster can change their possessions on hand without having them physically on hand). Additionally, he can sort of fly, but not really. A shame, since I can fly no problem…
~ Gildarts Clive - Also known as 'The Ace of Fairy Tail', he uses Crush Magic, which is extremely powerful. It can crack magic and physical objects alike into pieces, nullifying magic and destroying virtually anything.
~ Laxus Dreyar - The grandson of Makarov Dreyar, he is the Lightning Dragon Slayer.
~ Erza Scarlet - Nicknamed 'Titania', she is the strongest female mage in Fairy Tail and a master of Requip Magic.
~ Mirajane Strauss - Formerly nicknamed 'The Demon', she uses Satan Soul, a form of Take Over Magic that involves demons.
~ Elfman Strauss - The younger brother of Mirajane, he uses Beast Soul, a form of Take Over Magic that involves, well… beasts.
~ Lisanna Strauss - The younger sister of both Mirajane and Elfman, she uses Animal Soul, a form of Take Over Magic that involves the more passive animals.
~ Natsu Dragneel - The Fire Dragon Slayer, who has an Exceed named Happy.
~ Gajeel Redfox - The Iron Dragon Slayer, who has an Exceed named Pantherlily.
~ Wendy Marvell - The Sky Dragon Slayer, and cute… and she has an Exceed named Carla.
~ Lucy Heartfilia - A Celestial Spirit mage in possession of… 10 Gold Keys?! So, between her and Yukino, the two of them have all of the keys of the Zodiac…
~ Freed Justine - An expert of Letter Magic (the usage of Runes)
~ Porlyusica - Elusive, hates humans, and a wonderful Medicinal Advisor.
}
The Wizard Saints: (only those above Jura and Makarov because the rest seem uninteresting) {
Along with God Serena, the four highest ranked Wizard Saints were known as the 'Four Gods of Ishgar' and were often referred to as 'not human'.
~ Draculos Hyberion, second-ranked - Somehow having Romanian influence without Romania actually existing on this world, he uses Vampire Magic, allowing him to paralyze a target and then control them.
~ Wolfheim, third-ranked - Not too much is known about him, but he can transform into a gargantuan beast that is presumably very powerful - enough so to make him the third-ranked Wizard Saint.
~ Warrod Sequen, fourth-ranked - One of the founders of Fairy Tail and over a century old, he is a master of Green Magic, which allows him to control nature itself.
}
Under a new file for the Wizard Saints was me, but there was only one word other than my name and age: 'Unknown'.
For Zeref's file, it would be best not to use the Council's files because they might be too inaccurate, considering the person is regarded by most as dead, so I'll have to do my own filtered and limited search…
Zeref:
{Nicknamed 'The Black Wizard' and called the strongest and most evil mage of all time, he is 'immortal' and currently over 400 years old. Like Mavis, he is under the effects of the Contradictory Curse and… oh? This is interesting: He's actually the emperor of the Alvarez Empire, known as Emperor Spriggan. Even more interestingly, his full name is Zeref Dragneel and he is the older brother of Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail). He is a master of all the Black Arts and is able to use Living Magic, a long-lost ancient magic that 'breathes life' into an object. He can also use Immobilization Magic to freeze time for those he chooses to. Additionally, he can use Black Magic, Fire Magic, Telepathy and Enchantments. Fun Fact!: He wants to die pretty badly.}
That should be enough, although Zeref really does sound like an interesting person…
Finished, Azu looked skywards, noticing the day had begun to end. It's been, what, five years since I last slept? She thought to herself. Maybe I should start resting again since it seems pretty safe here, especially with no militaries and assassins trailing me… For once, I've found peace, if only for a little while…
/ Unknown Location /
Back with the blond man and Rogue, they resumed their conversation.
"Man, talking about 7 years ago really makes me nostalgic… I was this small back then," the blond man said, waving his hand at a ridiculously short height, obviously exaggerating. "Ah, you were Gajeel's apprentice back then, right? Man… Gajeel was really scary!"
"Don't cling to the past, Sting," Rogue said. "Those people were not there on the path we took."
Just then, a man with a bow ran up to them shouting, "I FOUND YOU~~!"
As the two on the hill turned to face him, he shouted "DIEEEEE!" and shot an arrow at a minimal range for maximum speed.
However, the blond man, named Sting, managed to catch the arrow regardless of its speed and, to the shock of the archer, began to eat it whole. Spitting in the direction or the archer and releasing a little magic, Sting blew away a large area. S...So it was them… they're… the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth… the White Dragon, Sting, and Rogue, the Shadow Dragon, the archer thought as he filled with fear to the brim.
Screaming and running for his life, the man left the two Dragon Slayers behind. As he ran, Sting called out, mockingly asking, "Are you going to just abandon your comrades? You're really scum," to which Rogue responded, "They're a Dark Guild after all." Behind them were countless bodies knocked cold, presumably the man's 'comrades' that he 'left behind'.
With that, the two Dragon Slayers walked away casually with their Exceeds, Lector and Frosch, discussing whether or not they'd like to challenge the members of Fairy Tail they had looked up to all those years ago.
What would happen if they got the chance to do so?
