"No doubt about it, that's definitely Evergreen's kid." Someone quietly murmured.
"Yeah and with Elfman no less, I had no idea those two even liked each other."
"Um I think someone might want to catch Mira again. She looks about ready to pass out again."
These comments and more were being toss around the guild at light speed. The new arrivals had the whole guild buzzing once again. Everyone was shocked upon hearing the lineage of the girl named Lilith, except Mira of course. The woman looked like she was about to die from too much happiness. Seriously, if she smiled any wider than that her face might actually get stuck like that. After all she just found out that she becomes a mother and an aunt. But then a thought struck her. "Excuse me Um Lilith was it. If you don't mind my asking, are Elfman and myself the only ones to have kids in your time. Or does Lisanna have as well." Said girl's eyes snapped up to her older sisters, and then at Lilith, who just huff.
"Of course she does, but none of them were selected for this mission. Although Hyllia wanted to come, but she was needed back home." Lilith answered calmly, however the news was not received in the same stride. Mira for instance had found a way to do the impossible; she smiled even wider than before. Elfman looked about ready to beat the living hell out of whomever it's going to be that knocked up his sweet little sister. As for Lisanna, well she was frozen solid, mouth wide open and red from head to toe. "Who is this guy, cause he's about to become a dead MAN." Elfman shouted while glaring at every guy in the guild hall. "Oh chillax dad, the guy hasn't even joined the guild yet. Not to mention he's stronger that you, cause he's a war-god slayer. The guy's an absolute beast of battle. You wouldn't stand a chance in a one-on-one fight with him."
Sufficed to say everyone was rendered speechless. You would be too if you heard your guild was getting a war-god slayer. Lisanna was left utterly dumbfounded. I mean she just learned that she was going to have a child in the foreseeable future. With a god slayer no less, and after just learning how powerful and feared all slayer type mages become in the future she was more than a little nervous. "Oh hey don't worry about it, Tars is a really nice guy. Except for when he's in a fight, then he's anything but nice. Plus he's like, super hot." Medoka quickly assured Lisanna, gaining a weird look for Lilith. "What, he is, I can't help that." She oddly felt the need to defend herself. "Anyway Juvia wants to know something. That girl, the one named Dian, who is she." Interjected Juvia as she kept looking at the stone figure of the girl and then at Gray, whose instincts were suddenly telling him to run. Lilith looked at the statue then smacked her forehead seeming to remember something.
"Oh yeah that's right. I was supposed to unfreeze those two wasn't I?" Lilith laughed to herself as she snapped her fingers, shattering the stone that encased the two. "How silly of me. Anyway I need you two to calm down already or I'll just petrify you again. Oh and Dian, your mom wants to have a word with." Dian's head went on a swivel, searching for the familiar blue haired head of her mother. Eyes finally came to rest on Juvia and she broke out into a wide smile. "Hey there mo-" She was cut off mid sentence by a fierce hug. "M-mom can't b-breathe, seriously." Dian tried loosening her mother's grip but to no avail. Of course this being fairy tail things naturally escalated, suddenly Lilith found herself the one being tightly embraced. "What the, oh come mom this is just embarrassing." She tried to squirm out of Evergreen's arm but the woman had a death grip on her. Then all at once every future mother made a bee line for their soon-to-be child. Medoka was swept off her feet in a spinning hug while Metalia found herself smothered in Levy's arms. Kanaya's maternal instincts overtook her as she quickly pulled her son into her arms, not that the kid was complaining. As for Sora, well it was actually kind of weird for him seeing as his mom was pretty much the same age as him. So they settled for a handshake instead.
While the others fought to get their embarrassing mother's off them, their father's just stood there, watching the commotion. But of course their standoff didn't last long as Juvia created a water whip and pulled an unsuspecting Gray into the mix, Sandwiching Dain between them. "Wait a minute Juvia, w-what makes you think I'm the father of this kid." Gray protested as he too tried to get free of the woman's grip. "Because Juvia just does that's why. She has Gray-sama's hair and eyes." Juvia said proudly as she looked down at the girl, then she went wide eyed. "And apparently Gray-sama's stripping habit."
Both the girl and Gray looked down at Juvia's words only to realize that she was just in her underwear. "God dammit, this is what I get for letting dad train me." Dian complain throwing Gray an evil glare. Medoka had broken free of her mother only to launch a flying kick straight at Natsu. "Fight me dad" She shouted, which was not such great an idea. Natsu reacted on reflex as he intercepted the girl's kick with a reverse spin kick of his own; launching the poor girl straight through the second floor railing. Everyone instantly went silent as Lucy radiated as aura so dark Natsu thought he was about to be skinned alive, which he was. But Medoka came flying back and landed a clean knee kick to the side of Natsu's face. She laughed loudly as the fire dragon slayer went careening through furniture, declaring the fight her win. "Hah, that's what you get for letting your guard down pops."
In the end, Metalia had to resort to changing her skin to Iron as to not be crushed by her mother. Gajeel was the one who had to step in and peel the tiny woman off the girl. "Jesus woman give the girl some air will ya." He said holding Levy off the ground by her underarms. Levy of course demanded that Gajeel put her down but received a 'gihi' instead. "Sorry 'bout yer Mom there munchkin, then again ya might be use to it where yer from." Metalia thought about it for a moment then shrugged. "Yeah kinda, but it's an easy fix. All you gotta do is give mom a good book and she wouldn't even notice if the house was on fire. Then again that did happen once." Both Levy and Gajeel exchanged a glance then looked back at the girl. "What happened," they asked in unison.
"Oh nothing much, mom was cooking once and decided to read a book while she waited for the food to finish. Next thing we know the kitchen is on fire and mom was just sitting there reading, completely oblivious." Metalia retold the story nonchalantly. Levy was left speechless and cheery red with embarrassment whereas Gajeel couldn't stop laughing. He stopped however when Levy kicked in the gut. He glared at her while she just gave him a smug grin, but said grin was short lived. Gajeel's wide grin had her trembling as she froze in his arms. "Gajeel don't you dare –kyaa" Levy yelped loudly as she was thrown over Gajeel's shoulder. She yelped again as she felt a calloused hand smack her butt hard. "Oh gross dad, I don't wanna see my folks getting all kinky in front of me. It's just plain creepy." Just then there was a loud thud in the center of the guildhall.
"We have a problem people, a really big problem." Everyone spun to face the voice. Lahar had returned, along with Ezra, Chester, Demetri, Crime Sorciere and a suit of armour in tow. Mira – naturally – Was the first one to notice the missing member of the group. "Wait a moment, where's Alexis." She kept scanning the room for her daughter. Desperately wanting to embrace her like all the other mother's had. But the girl was nowhere to be seen. "That's, sort of the problem actually, you see she's..." Lahar trailed off, not sure how to finish. Laxus had to race to catch Mirajane as she lost all strength in her legs, hot tears streaking down her face as she assumed the worst. "Lahar, don't tell me it's happened again." Just then the whole guild shook from the force of a powerful blast, followed by an ear splitting roar. "Yep it happened again. Our hunch ended up paying off, we found Entis attacking Jellal's guild."
Chester said as he picked himself up off the ground. Then he extended a hand to help up Demetri. "Yeah and since they didn't know the situation they of course counterattacked. Naturally things went south fast." Demetri explained further before Ezra continued the rest. "It was weird; he dodged all the other's attacks with incredible ease but chose to stand and block Cobra's. The reason must be so he can absorb the magic energy. He must have to stand still in order to do it, in which case I now fully understand why he couldn't attempt such a thing in the future."
"Ya damn right he can't. If he tried that with my dad he'd be the world's ugliest piece of charcoal.' Medoka said proudly putting her hands on her hips and puffing out her chest. "Oh please my dad would turn that guy into the world's ugliest pile of minced meat." Metalia said with a prideful snort.
"Bitch please, my dad's way stronger that yours." Medoka said with a glare.
"Yeah right in your dreams maybe," Metalia countered while glaring back.
"No in reality, it's common knowledge that my dad is stronger." Medoka stepped closer to Metalia flames starting to dance across her skin.
"Oh man, those flames you eat must've cooked that tiny brain of your. Everyone knows that my dad is the strongest." Metalia snapped as she got into Medoka's face once again.
Then they started to list all the things that said slayers had destroyed, trying to outdo the other. Both Dragons slayer however paled as they listened to the wonton destruction listed by the bickering girls. "Hey dumbasses, did you two already forget what I just said. Alexis has gone berserk again. We need to find a way to stop her and fast." Lahar shouted at them. "We heard ya the first time so there's no need to yell." Medoka shouted back at him. "Yeah that's right, and how did this even happen in the first place?" Metalia added. "Chester, tell us what happened out there man. Why'd Alexis use a full bodied take over when she knows the risk?" Sora said stepping forward; Chester took a breath to calm himself. "We were too late, that's what happened. By the time we got there Entis was already attacking them. They didn't know who they were dealing with so of course they fought back. We arrived just when Cobra enter the fray, launching a breath attack at Entis."
"Which is what the bastard was waiting for the whole time, he activated the absorption spell at that precise moment. Nearly leeched away all of Cobra's magic, had it not been for Erza, for locking Cobra in a special suit of armour that binds magic. The spell wouldn't have been severed in time and he'd be dead right now." Demetri Continue. "Wait one second, my dad should've been able to hear him coming from a mile away. Even if he didn't, from close range he should've heard Entis's plans in his thoughts. So how did Entis get the drop on them? " Viper asked, turning to see his mother rush toward to suit of armour laying on the floor. "The way I see it, this man came here to steal the power of dragon slayers correct. So surely he must know their weaknesses. Or a way to escape detention by them, if which case not even Erik would be able to detect him or his thoughts." Erza mused as she sat recuperating on the floor.
Then she turned to Mira. "But still, that girl truly is your daughter Mira, Laxus. When she saw what had happened and realized we were too late. She snapped, wanting nothing more than the death of that man. Not to mention that her magic is incredible, she really did become a dragon." Mira clasped her hands over her mouth as tears came to her eyes again. Laxus put his hand on her shoulder, intending to comfort her, but was shocked when she turned and wrapped her arms around him and buried her head in the crook of his neck. He wrapped his arms around her and looked at Lahar. "Who do you guy's normally stop her once she get like this." Lahar cupped his chin as he thought of the best way to answer, but Dian beat him to it. "We don't stop her, we can't. She's too powerful when she transforms. That's why one of the adults does it; they can bring her down without hurting her. And usually it's you."
"Me, what do you mean me?" Laxus asked in surprised. "Well duh you absorb her magic. Without enough magic she can't hold the transformation. It's the most effective way to calm her down." Dian said. "Um can we discuss this later cause she's like, here now." Sora interjected, his arms stretched out and sweat beading on his brow. He was concentrating on maintaining the wind barrier surrounding the guild that a now berserk Alexis was trying to break through. Mirajane grabbed Laxus's arm in a death grip. "Please do something Laxus. I don't want o-our d-d-daughter to get hurt. Please, save her." She begged with tears in her tears, the thought of something bad happening to her child was unbearable. Also for a certain time now Mira had been harbouring strong feelings for the lightening dragon slayer. Evidently those feelings were destined to grow into something more. And she wasn't the only one hiding her feelings, apparently so was he. Laxus looked deep within her almost endless blue eyes and felt such an overwhelming urge to comfort her. He could feel himself falling more and more in love with her. So he squared his shoulders and gave her a firm nod. He turned and started walking towards the front doors.
"Drop the wind barrier kid. I have to go get my daughter."
