Okay, this will pretty much be a after-the-after party- chapter. So they are back at the guild now.

Disclaimers: I do not own Fairy Tail or Hiro Mashima. I also don't own Miksu (AsianNinjaBeanie does. Be sure to check her out too!)

Claimers: I own: Maemi, Ignus, Nadia, Ryuu, Cora, The Dragon Hunters, and Rox.

Cora caught up to a quick-paced Ryuu, who was storming off towards the Fairy Tail guild. Clearly, the only thing on his mind was to make sure his only niece was safe from those assholes. "Ryuu-" Cora was cut off because he sped up. "Leader, damnit-" He sped up more. "RYUU!" She yelled out. Ryuu turned his attention to the girl in revealing clothes.

"What, Cora?"

"If you just storm into the guild, they'll think we're attacking, and Maemi is bound to bonkers after you broke her spine!" Ryuu stopped, and looked at the ground Just the fact of him hurting his niece without knowing that hurt him. She was like his second daughter he never had…

"I know that, Cora… Put more clothes on, we might be visiting for a while…" He sighed. He handed her a jacket from his bag, that actually was more like a robe on her. She gratefully accepted it, and put it on, wrapping a belt she brought along to keep it from falling. "You know what?" Ryuu looked up at the sky.

"What?" Cora asked.

"You were always like a daughter to me… Ignus like a son…" Ryuu sighed. "The only problem was that my real daughter hated me for my abusive ways, and Ignus hated me… Because he just did…"

"So, you are pretty much saying that the Death Wipers are like your family?" Cora asked him.

"Yeah…" Ryuu looked straight ahead, staring at where Magnolia would be. "Let's get going, if we make good time, we should be there in about a day or so…" He sighed, and began to walk at a pace. Cora easily kept up with the pace and followed him. They had left the small cabin around late noon, so if they walked all day, they should arrive there around noon the next day…


Meanwhile, with Maemi and everyone else…

"Mae? I have a question…" Natsu raised his hand like a student would.

"Yes Natsu?" Maemi asked him.

"I may be no math genius, but weren't you born in x764? And it's x791 right now?" He began. "Wouldn't that mean you're 27, not 25...?"

"That monster thing I had fought on the incredibly long mission screwed my age up. Pretty much deleted a whole 2 years from my age, which I love right now, might I add!" Maemi giggled. "It may have been ugly, but man… It really can change my life!"

"Huh…?" A new voice was heard. "Maemi? Gray?" It was a female's voice. Everyone turned to see a girl with long, light blue hair and pink eyes. She wore some glasses, and shyly looked at everyone. "Do you guys even recognize me?" She asked, sighing. Maemi and Gray exchanged glances quietly. A few guild members as well looked at each other. She groaned. "It's Miksu!" She muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Miksu…" Gray sounded distant for only a moment. "I've heard that name before…"

"So have I, Fullbuster…" Maemi muttered, putting her hands behind her head. She sighed, and tried to remember the best she could. "Miksu… Miksu…"

"It's not all that hard to remember your best friend, Mae!" Miksu giggled. Maemi put her face into the chair. A faint raspberry could be heard from where her mouth would be. She remained still, until something cold and wet slithered past he back. Squealing loudly, she thrusted her arms to her back, trying to see if someone splashed her. Surprisingly, her back and clothes were completely dry. "Remember me now, Mae?"

"…Miksu? MIKSU!" Maemi got up as she remembered the girl, and went crazy fast to just hug her. Gray followed behind closely, also managing to get a hug from Miksu. He also did it to hug his other friend too, also known as Maemi. "When… How… Where… What… Why… Who?" Maemi sounded completely baffled, wondering why she couldn't remember Miksu leaving.

"Well, ya know how Gildarts encountered a dragon on his travels?" Miksu made everyone remember.

"Yeah…" Everyone replied.

"Well, I went out to kill it…" She shyed up while saying that, figuring that it wouldn't be a wise idea to say it in front of Dragon Slayers. "I did it successfully, turns out it was one of the Great 7 Sins Dragons, the Greed one if I'm not mistaken." Nadia froze up at the mention of 7 Sins. "So, after defeating it, it dropped some kind of item. It was glasses! They help me see!" She laughed. Mostly everyone looked confused.

"Ah, that's right. Not everyone knows…" Maemi sighed.

"Everyone, Miksu is blind. That's why she said: 'They help me see!," Gray explained. Everyone exchanged glances, and then nodded in understanding.

"What kind of magic do you have, Miksu?" Lucy asked her curiously. Miksu hesitated, and then replied.

"I'm a… Water Mage…" She answered.

"So you are like Juvia?" Juvia asked her. "Juvia does not think that…"

"Ehehe… I am a water mage, trust me!" Miksu laughed. "And I'm guessing you must be Juvia…" Juvia glared at Miksu, who smiled nervously.

"Juvia still does not believe in you…" Juvia turned away. Everyone sweat dropped.

"…This is weird…" Maemi muttered. Miksu turned to Maemi an hugged her. Maemi hugged back. "I've missed you, weirdo!" She laughed.

"Missed you too, Blondie!" Miksu laughed. Lucy's jaw dropped.

"I thought I was Blondie!" Lucy complained. Maemi turned to Lucy.

"You actually like the name, Blondie?" Maemi teased.

"N-no!" Lucy hesitantly said.

"Miksu, can we just call me Mae? Lucy wants to be Blondie." Maemi turned to Miksu.

"Yeah, sure!" Miksu giggled.

"Can you two even hear me?!" Lucy exclaimed. Everyone began to laugh at the trio. Two more people then entered, but these two were more recognizable than Miksu when she first entered.

"Cora…" Ignus muttered, glaring at the entrance. The laughing had died down. Everyone was staring at the two. In the corner of his eye, he saw Maemi being held back by both Lucy and Miksu. He had a new kind of feeling, and he knew it was to protect her.

"D-dad…" Nadia shrunk back, slightly scared. She inched towards where Maemi was, but stopped, as she was petrified on how he found her. The entire guild was glaring at the two. They had their heads down solemnly. Gajeel was clearly in a fighting stance, Levy being behind him. Ignus was surprised on how Natsu's usual carefree look was turned into a slightly scary one. His pupils were smaller, and he had an angry look on his face.

Both of them remained silent. Maemi continued to struggle to get free, so she could fight. Her left eye had already turned yellow, and it had lost it's pupil and was glowing. Somehow, she wasn't getting scales or wings. Was it because her guild mates were near her, and she didn't want to harm them?


In a large, mansion-like castle, a young man sat upon a rather large throne, as if like a king. He wore a similar attire to the hunters that Ryuu and Cora were talking to, except a little more fancier. He stared off into the distance, as his throne faced a large, scenic view. He had his hand over his mouth, as if seeming in deep thought. He sighed lightly, his emerald green eyes relaxed. His shaggy blonde hair was a bit of a mess, but he didn't mind. "Lord Rox?" A voice echoed through his head. "Lord Rox?" It repeated.

"Excuse me, Lord Rox! We have more information on Maelyth!" He realized it was one of the two hunters he had sent out to speak to Ryuu and Cora. He moved the platform his throne was on to face the hunter, who was kneeling before him. He eyed him curiously.

"You may rise…" Rox said. His voice was average aged, with a faint deep tone. The hunter rose up from his kneel. "Tell me now…" Rox turned the throne back to the scenic view.

"Well, we have officially confirmed that she is in fact in Fairy Tail, and that Ryuu Moore is related to her."

"This means Nadia Moore as well?" He questioned.

"Yes, my lord. Ignus Sumney and Nadia have also joined Fairy Tail only quite recently."

"Of course…" Rox sighed. "Anything else?"

"Not much more that I can remember. The other hunter remembers more…"

"Send him in after you two's break. You both deserve it…" Rox bluntly said.

"Yes, your Highness…" The hunter bowed, and exited the room. When Rox heard the door thud, meaning when it closed, he got up, and walked towards the window. It had a small mini door near the floor, and he opened it so he could go out on a balcony. He walked up to the edge of the large balcony, and stared out.

"One day, Maelyth… You will be mine, and mine only…" He slammed his fist on the balcony. "I'll have you… Just as your great-grandmother was supposed to be my great-grandfather's…" He clutched his fist a little harder. "Maemi… I like that name better than Maelyth…" Rox looked up to the sky. "It'll sound twice as good with the surname of Carney…" He smiled at how that would sound: Rox and Maemi Carney. It has a good tone to it.


.D. New bad guy who has hots for Mae's name is Rox! I have no idea how I got it, just go with it. XD So his name is Rox Carney. :P Everyone still thinks Ryuu and Cora are bad, but honestly, I don't know either. So, I want you guys to make your own questions again…

Also, if you have any questions for the characters or myself, please RP or R&R them. ^^

They'll be answered in the next chapter.

So I explained Maemi's age problem, since I noticed it. 791 Minus 764 is 27, so Maemi was supposed to be 27, but that's two years younger than Erza in my story, so I decided that I'd have the monster she fought deplete/destroy two years of her life somehow. It gave it more energy I guess. So that pretty much made her 25.
