Ignus took a small step towards his former leader. He narrowed his eyes, and got into his usual stance. He noticed Gajeel walking up beside him on one side, while he noticed Erza on the other. She had already begun re-equipping a sword, Gajeel was preparing a Dragon Art attack, and all Ignus had to do is make something out of fire. He remained still, and he heard Ryuu sigh. He glanced at the older man.

"I apologize… For causing all of the trouble…" Ryuu muttered underneath his breath. Murmurs began to rise up.

"I couldn't hear him…"

"What'd he say…?"

"Dunno…" Ignus glanced at Gajeel. He already knew the iron-faced Dragon Slayer would've heard Ryuu.

"Well?" He asked Gajeel through gritted teeth. Gajeel simply replied by nudging him in the stomach with his elbow.

"Take a guess fire-boy…" Gajeel said.

"Well I can't hear all that well, Bucket-head…"

"You need to be less rude if you want people to like you…"

"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" Ignus flared up. A firey arua surrounded him. He felt something hit him in the back, and figured it was Erza. "ERZA!" He yelled.

"It wasn't me, Ignus…" Ignus glanced down to see the small Master with his stick right as Erza said that.

"What was that for?" He asked the master.

"Calm down, brat," The old man told him, and walked through his legs. Ignus got easily embarrassed, and started blushing like crazy.

"I'M NOT A DOOR!" He stuttered out.

"Do I need to repeat myself, Ignus?" The master glanced back at messy-brown-haired male. Ignus's amber eyes looked down at the ground, embarrassed even more for getting scolded. He found himself glancing over towards Maemi, who was slowly calming down. He was surprised when she met his eyes. He quickly stared back at the ground.

"So, what do the final two people of the Death Wipers have to say to us?" Master Makarov began.

"We… The Death Wipers, apologize for causing all of the problems we did…" Cora said, her head low. "The fact is, that we've actually have never killed anyone… It's just a name…" She sighed.

"We could've told you that…" Ignus sighed. He crossed his arms. His amber eyes stared straight at both Ryuu and Cora, his former team mates, now he had to focus on his new team… Currently, it was just him and Nadia, but that's just fine with him. Cora and Ryuu raised their heads and looked at the adequately large guild.

"I, especially, wish to apologize to my daughter and my niece…" Maemi and Nadia perked up. Ignus saw Maemi's left eye return to having a pupil and being light blue. Ignus already saw tears forming at the corner of her eyes. Ignus's glare softened, but it seemed hard still. Nadia looked down, and remained quiet.

"Your real enemy is the Dragon Hunters… And their leader!" Cora announced. "Whoever he might be!" Ignus calmed down, and released his stance. He began to walk over to Maemi, who was sobbing silently, on her knees. Ignus crouched down in front of her, and pulled her into a hug, letting the girl cry into his shoulder.

"It's alright…" He whispered to her. All of a sudden, she hugged back. It took him by surprise, as it was surprising enough on how fast she was. He blushed lightly, but it was still able to be seen. Some girls began to squeal in joy. He ignored them, and kept on comforting Maemi. Usually, he'd hug Nadia when she cried, but Nadia toughened up ever since they joined Fairy Tail.

Master Makarov looked back at his guild. They all looked at him expectantly, and he sighed. "We… We forgive you," The short man said. Cora and Ryuu's eyes looked around at the guild. Most of them were smiling. Naturally, some weren't. Only because their cheeks probably hurt.

"Thank you, Master Makarov," Ryuu said with a smile. Both Cora and Ryuu bowed a bit. "We're going to be traveling around Fiore, and maybe other regions. We are forever in deed to you…" Master Makarov chuckled.

"That isn't needed. We just forgave you!" He laughed. "But we'll let you know when we need assistance! Just be at our aid, and we'll be joyfully enough!" Cora and Ryuu smiled.

"Alright!" Cora fist pumped the air.

"We'll keep you all updated on the Dragon Hunters as well. They think we're their allies or something," Ryuu added.

"That'd be nice…" Everyone turned to Maemi, who wasn't sobbing all that hard now, but clearly, Ignus was still hugging her, since there were tears. "It's be nice to know what their next motive might be…" She sniffed. She then wailed out, and Ignus hugged her a little closer.

"AWWWW!" Most of the girls squealed out. "So cute!" A few boys death glared at Ignus, but all he did was ignore them, and continued to hold Maemi, who sobbed and wailed. Erza looked at them and smiled gently. She then returned to watching Ryuu and Cora. They both turned to the exit, and began to walk out.

"Thank you for your time…" Cora said, still looking towards the exit. When they exited, murmurs rose up. People went over to Maemi and Ignus, the girls cooing, and the boys asking if she's okay. All she replied was a sob, and cuddled into Ignus's shoulder. The girls cooed even louder. Ignus ignored them, and just cuddled her back.

"Mae-Chan!" Levy squeaked out. She had been talking to a few others somewhere else, and really wanted to talk to her friend. "Excuse me!" She tried to push her way through the crowd. Gajeel came over and picked her up by the back of her dress. "G-Gajeel-san!" She squeaked.

"Just helping out, bookie," He simply replied. He pushed through the crowd, Levy held up high. He put her down when they finally got to Ignus and Maemi. "There ya go…"

"Thank you Gajeel-san!" Levy smiled at him. Gajeel turned around, and replied.

"Your welcome… Levy…" He replied, staring straight ahead. Little did Levy know, he was blushing and smiling. The black-haired boy walked away without saying anything. Levy turned and knelt down to be next to Maemi.

"Mae-Chan… Everything will be okay…" Levy gave the girl a side-hug, trying her best to comfort her. "Ignus-san, you're doing a good job to calm her down!" Levy smiled. Ignus blushed a bit.

"Heh, I guess I'm so used to calming Nadia down, this is pretty easy…" Ignus said, cradling the girl.

"You two are really cute, y'know that?" Miksu teased. "You'd be an adorable couple!"

"We don't even know each other all that much! I'm just being a good friend, or guild mate, or something like that!" Ignus protested. "Plus, Nadia would make me comfort her either way!"

"Nadia?" Miksu questioned.

"Her cousin, and my best friend!"

"So you're saying you'd be with Nadia then?"

"No! I like her and all, just not like that…"

"So who do you like? Like that?"

"No one!" Ignus sighed.

"Surely you must have someone in mind…"

"No, I, don't…" Ignus sighed. Mirajane walked over to them, gently pushing through the crowd.

"Ah, excuse me! Excuse me!" She sang out to everyone as they parted. "Mae, Master wants to see you for a moment!" She told Maemi joyfully. Maemi looked up at Mirajane, her light blue eyes still watery. She nodded shortly, and tried to stand up, but nearly fell. Ignus quickly caught her, and helped her stand.

"I'll have to come with so Maemi can stand and walk… I'll leave when we get there, though… Is that alright Mirajane?" Ignus asked her.

"Of course Ignus! Master might actually want to talk to you too!" Mirajane replied with a small smile. "Excuse us!" Mirajane turned around, and started to walk through the crowd. It was easier, as they had begun to spread out. Ignus continued to guide Maemi, while following Mirajane. Levy tagged along for a while, then went go to talk with Lucy. Mirajane spotted the Master and hurried over to him. "Master! I brought Maemi and Ignus!"

The Master turned towards them. "I wanted to talk to Ignus too anyways, but that was to be later…" He sighed. "Ignus, help out by assisting Maemi to a seat or something…" Ignus nodded and got a chair, and had her sit down in it.

"T-thanks Ignus…" She sniffled. "For helping me out…"

"Your welcome. I'd do it anytime for a friend," He replied, smiling. "I'll come back a bit later. Is that okay with you Master?"

"That's perfect, Ignus…" The Master nodded. Ignus walked away. Master Makarov looked over at Maemi.

"Listen, Mae, I know it's difficult with your family and everything… Especially your ancestry. You can't change it, and you know that…" The Master began. "Those assholes, the Carneys. That's the whole reason you're in all of these situations. It's not your fault, though, dear. It's theirs. Not you or your family's, just the other people's."

"And yes, I know that the 1% is still out there… And you know how much you've already collected of it…"

"About 70% of the 1%…" Maemi muttered. "I'm only 30% away… Before that happens…" She sniffed, and whimpered slightly.

"It's alright… it'll start happening around 90% if I'm correct…" The Master put a small hand on her shoulder. "I can't control this, and neither can you sadly. I don't want this to happen as much as you, but it need to be done, as you are a Fourth Generation Dragon Slayer. The only one, may I add. I don't like it all that you're the only Fourth Generation Dragon Slayer. But, you'll be the first one to ever have this happen…"

"…The back of my head…" Maemi said. Master Makarov looked at her, confused.

"What?"

"It already has scales…" Maemi turned aroud on the chair, and lifted her hair up. It was difficult to see, but there were dragon scales on the back of her head. And she wasn't even fighting…

"Already…? That's too early…" The Master shook his head. "It can't even begin at 70%…"

"Maybe I found enough more to have 90%…?" Maemi asked, trembling now.

"No… Like I said, it's still too early. Even if you did, you would have a yellow eye right now, and it wouldn't glow. And official fangs might I add…"

"…Yeah, that's true… I wish there was a different way… Or if I could just abandon this magic completely." Maemi looked down at her feet, a strange sensation flowing into her head, making her feel a bit lightheaded.

"Are you okay, Mae?" Master Makarov asked her.

"…I get like this when I find more of the 1%…"

"Percentage!"

"80... 80%-! AH!" Maemi suddenly grasped the back of her neck. Tears flew down from her eyes. "Ow…" The Master watched her back quietly, and saw more scales begin to flow down her back.

"…Oh no…"


Rox smirked at the Lacrima Vision. "So, 80%? That surely was quick… Anyone would think she'd only be at 30%, but goodness, that little traveler of ours found 50% more than we expected!" He laughed. There weren't any hunters in the room, but two others… They looked more depressed than proud. "Ryuu, Cora, thank you for helping out… It's truly very helpful."

"It… It wasn't our pleasure at all…" Cora muttered. Clearly, Rox didn't hear her.

"Repeat again, please?" Rox said, twiddling his thumbs.

"It was our pleasure…" Cora repeated, simply replacing the 'wasn't' with 'was', and simple removed the 'at all' part. Cora didn't want to bring any harm to Maemi, and neither did Ryuu. But they were forced to, as Rox was offering enough money for their new project, along with some help.

"And Ryuu? How did you manage to sneak the little bug in?"

"…It had wings on. The Lacrima Spy Camera had wings, so before entering, I made directions for it. I only presumed they might talk there…"

"Very, very clever… I'll still need you to be there if I need it. Otherwise," Rox paused, and sent a signal. "The Jewel promised to you will now be brought to you. No need to thank me, as long as I get what I wish for!" Rox heard the bag of Jewel fall down and thud. He heard Ryuu pick it up.

"Thank… you I guess…" Ryuu sighed. "We'll be at your beckoning… Let's go Cora…"

"I'm following, as always, Leader Ryuu-!"

"You don't need to call him 'Leader Ryuu', just call him this: 'Master Ryuu'," Rox quickly added.

"…I'd rather call him 'Leader Ryuu'…" Cora complained.

"And you may, Cora. I give you permission to keep on calling me that," Ryuu looked back at Cora and smiled.

"That's good, 'cause it'll take me a while to adjust to calling you 'Master Ryuu'…"

"I know." When the duo left, Rox stood up and smiled. He laughed to himself quietly.

"Seems like my plan is going according to plans."


.o. NEVER TRUST CORA AND RYUU- Nah, jk. You can trust them. ^^ They're nice people, once you tell them your identity, and not your Dragon Name! XD Lol. Otherwise, yeah, they're good people. LETS JUST GO TO THE QUESTIONS. XD
