Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail
Sting gritted his teeth from the memory. "Let's go find Erik. I'm sure that he'd be at the graveyard in Magnolia if it's going to be the anniversary of Kinana's death," Lucy suggested.
Agreements followed and they were on their way back to Magnolia. They reached the outskirts of the city once more and the three dragons dropped the mages off. They walked slowly through the streets to the cathedral, dreading the day now. "Ninety years since Fairy Tail's end," Levy muttered.
"The strongest guild, getting beaten so easily," Jellal gritted his teeth.
"The guild I looked up to, destroyed," Sting gave a growl.
"We'll show them the strength of anger of former guild members and onlookers that believed in us. There's no way that they'll get away with ending magic," Natsu growled deeply.
The arrived at the cathedral, visiting each dead member's grave.
They came upon a red-haired man that sat on the ground in front of Kinana's grave, looking like he was about to cry. He wiped his eyes and said, "Natsu, what are you still doing alive?" The man turned, looking like Erik.
"A problem with me not being dead? You could talk to Jellal about it, if you'd like," Natsu gave him a small smile.
Jellal stepped forth and Erik stood, shocked. "Visiting Kinana on the day of her death, the day that Fairy Tail had finally came to its final day. Sounds like you," Jellal said.
"Titania, Gajeel, Yukino, Sting, Rogue, Romeo, Wendy, Levy, Laxus, Lucy, and someone else. Fourteen in total," Erik counted.
"Plus Igneel, Grandine, and Metalicana," Natsu added.
"Reading our minds, Eric?" Jellal asked.
"No, gave up on it years ago. Thoughts have bored me and so I haven't read a mind for over years now," Eric stood.
"I would like to see where our guild once stood," Lucy said, tearing up.
"We'll all go. It seems we have a battle ahead of us anyway," Gajeel agreed.
No objections were made and they made their way out of the graveyard and towards where there once was a beautiful castle-like building that was used as Fairy Tail's headquarters.
They arrived at the location, seeing there was a stone wall with peculiar figures on top. They neared and saw that the citizens of Magnolia from long ago had made a monument for them. There, at the top of the stone wall, read the big words: Fairy Tail: The pride of our city. They may have caused destruction, but ensured safety to the city.
Underneath that were names of the most recent, but most likely deceased Fairy Tail members posted.
On top of the stone wall sat familiar figures carved in stone. In the center was Master Makarov Dreyar and behind him was Gildarts Clive. To Master's left was 'Titania' Erza Scarlet, then Laxus Dreyar, and next to him was Gray Fullbuster. To the Master's right was Natsu 'Salamander' Dragneel, 'Sky Maiden' Wendy Marvell, and 'Black Steel' Gajeel Redfox. Each of the statues' face either had happiness, anger, or pride and courage.
Each mage was hit with emotion. "Magnolia really loved us back then. I can't believe they would do something like this to honor our memory. The amount of trouble and destruction we caused was something, but they loved us for who we were," Laxus said, seeming to be quite shocked, but didn't show it.
"We'll protect Magnolia again from harm. We'll show Magnolia that a small piece of Fairy Tail is back," Natsu's hands tightened into fists.
"Natsu's right. We'll show Magnolia that Fairy Tail is back from being dead for so long. We'll give them the destruction, the heroism, the pride and power of our bonds once more!" Levy added to Natsu's statement.
Though, the clanking of armor made them all look up to see that there were knights coming at them. Natsu stepped up giving a growl, "I'll take them. Go back to where the dragons are."
Erza was about to go against, but Laxus grabbed her by the arm and began to run towards the area where the dragons would be, the others following closely behind. "Release me Laxus!" Erza ordered.
"Sorry Erza, but Natsu can handle it. He won't lose to those knights at all now that he realizes that he has something quite bigger to protect. We'll wait for him where the dragons are," Laxus told Erza.
After that, Erza kept her mouth shut. Natsu, you better come back to us. I promised you that I would live for the sake of my friends, so you better do the same.
"Lucy, will Natsu-nii be okay?" Tyson asked.
"Why wouldn't he be? He's all fired up!" Lucy gave Tyson a grin.
They continued to run down the half empty streets until they got into the forest and reached the clearing where now only one dragon stood. "Grandine, where's Igneel and Metalicana?" Laxus asked, finally letting go of Erza's arm.
"I cannot answer that question, but we believed that it was time that you journey on your own, now that you've been gathered. We promise that when magic is back, we'll come and visit," Grandine was about to take off and she added, "Tell Natsu that Igneel said goodbye and that they'll meet again one day."
Then Grandine took off and Wendy called out, "Goodbye Grandine!"
They watched and then the dragon was only a speck and then the dragon vanished from sight. Then, they turned to hear a rustle in the bushes, seeing Natsu with a couple of bruises and a cut. Wendy rushed over, beginning to heal the fire dragon slayer. "What happened to the dragons?" Natsu asked.
"They'll be back when we've brought back the world of magic," Wendy said quickly.
"At the moment, I believe that we should go hide at Natsu's house. I hid there for a month without getting caught," Lucy suggested.
They looked at Natsu, hoping that they could go there since the sky was darkening. "Fine, we'll go stay at my house," Natsu sighed.
Wendy finished healing and added, "We can go get those apples that me and Romeo were collecting also!"
"Lucy, since you know where Natsu's house is, you can go with Wendy and Romeo. Laxus will go also," Erza split the up group up into two groups.
