Sorry for the long wait. This chapter is dedicated to my friend Alex, who made me stick her name in some where. Enjoy.

"So, you don't have any walls here, right?" the blond boy's eyes were lit in astonishment. Handout. That was his name.

Gramps shook his head. "No walls. And I still don't understand how you got here. Lucy's keys and this brat's fire together would be dangerous, but I don't see how it would open a portal." Gramps shot a look at Natsu, and he blushed.

"It was all Happy's idea," the dragon slayer mumbled.

"What?!" the blue cat gasped, jumping up, his white wings popping out. "I didn't do anything!"

The, what did they call themselves again, ah, the Survey Guild, gasped.

"What?" Happy asked.

A woman with glasses' mouth dropped to the floor. "How is he doing this!?" she screamed. The woman, Hammy, if he remembered correctly, went around poking the Exceed.

The Levy guy with the scarf spoke up, "Hange, quit touching the stupid little kitten. You've already made a big enough mess already."

"Thank you," Happy said. But then the reality dawned on him. "Hey!" he cried.

Gramps looked quizzically at the fancy Levy dude, but turned to Mavis. "Have you discovered anything?"

The first master sighed, "I've checked everything and I've never heard of this."

"Who are you guys talking to?" a guy from the back of the clump yelled.

"Oh, yeah," Gray commented, joining the conversation. "They can't see her."

"This is so confusing. What is happening?" another girl added.

"This is going to take forever to fix. Nice going, salamander." Gajeel walked up, punching Natsu on the head.

Suddenly, fancy Levy cried out, "I can't handle this anymore! Where are your brooms!? This place is a pigsty! What do you guys do here? Punch each other and destroy the place every five seconds?"

The Fairy Tail mages got eerily quiet.

"You like to clean?!" Natsu looked like he was turned to stone by Evergreen.

The fancy Levy dude shot daggers at Natsu. Natsu grabbed the broom. But suddenly, he realized something. "You're that Levi dude they were talking about!" Natsu cried.

"Who did you think I was, you imbecile?"

Natsu pointed to the bluenette in the yellow dress sitting across the room, searching through piles of books.

"Ummm, Natsu," Lucy began, "what resemblance do either of them possibly have?"

Natsu shrugged and turned to Levi. "You don't look like a scary dragon made of a mixture of Gildarts, Laxus, and Erza."

Carla shook her white head. "That's because he's not."

Hammy suddenly called out from her inspection of the room, "Who's Gildarts, Alex, and Erza? Are there more of you wizards in this regiment?"

Wendy spoke up. "Actually, there is more than just one guild. 10% of the population are wizards. Gildarts, Laxus, and Erza are just a couple of our really powerful ones."

"Like me!" Natsu interjected.

Hammy's eyes lit up like Christmas trees. "10%?" she asked excitedly. "How does that work with titans eating people? Are more wizards eaten, or non-magical? Is magic an aid in fighting them?" She pulled out a notebook and started calculating numbers.

Natsu squinted his eyebrows. "What the heck are titans, Hammy? Mr. I'm-gonna-kill-em mentioned them earlier."

Levi questioned, "The idiot's name isn't Hammy; she's Hange. Do you have hearing problems?"

Gray shook his head. "No, just a very short attention span."

Natsu turned to the small blond boy. "Then I take it you aren't Handout?"

"I'm Armin."

Then suddenly, Hange was standing next to him, having forced her way through the crowd. "You asked about titans."

The new people groaned in unison.

3 hours and a couple of PowerPoint presentations later, Natsu could tell you just about everything from where the portal jumpers came from. It didn't help that the Hange chick was insane. But he did know they had a whole mess of problems on their hands. Not counting the dirty guild.
