Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail


The others continued pointing out who would be the best guild master, but many kept silent during the arguement. A glow of light silenced them and a familiar person was upon them. "Mavis?" Laxus was surprised.

"It seems that you are having difficulty deciding who will be the master of Rising Phoenix. So, I have come to tell you who number six chose as the master. First of all, we eliminated anyone from Sabertooth, Crime Sorciere, and any of the young generation," Mavis told them, making both Jellal and Sting thankful and Wendy and the younger nod in understandance.

"We have also eliminated those who had attacked Fairy Tail or would likely make this new guild quite strict," Laxus, Gajeel and Erza only stared.

"We had also left out the girls with brains, but aren't very strong," Mavis saw both Levy and Lucy look thankful they weren't picked.

Though, gazes were turned to Natsu: the only other mage that wasn't picked out of the race yet. "Which brings down all of you except one. Natsu has been decided to be the guild master of Rising Phoenix!" Mavis cheered.

No one said anything for what it seemed hours and then Tyson got up and ran over to Natsu, giving him a tight hug. "I knew you would be master! I had no doubts that you wouldn't have been one!" Tyson said happily.

"Why does Natsu get to be guild master?" Laxus asked Mavis.

"You don't know? I guess you all deserve an explanation. Natsu is not only powerful and strong, but also carries the Power of Feelings. I saw it myself during the Grand Magic Games. I've no doubts that Natsu will fail for this new guild!" Mavis explained.

"I told you Natsu-nii deserves to be guild master!" Romeo said.

"That's right, Natsu-san definitely deserves to be guild master," Sting agreed.

"Also, once you decide on the shape of the guild mark, I can get you a magic stamp for you. It'll be a gift for you all creating the first guild in ninety years," Mavis told them.

They all looked at eachother, having no ideas. Levy lifted a book, showing a good marker. "Perfect!" Mavis disappeared in a flash of light and was replaced by a guild stamp.

Lucy took it, seeming a bit excited. Smiles sprouted from everyone's faces, seeming to be excited to be in the guild.

After a bit of time, almost everyone got their guild stamp. Natsu, Lucy, Gajeel, Erza, Romeo, Wendy, Laxus, Levy, Sting, Rogue, and Yukino had theirs placed where they had their former guild marks once were. Jellal placed his on his lower part of his left arm in blue, Erik had his on his left shoulder in a dark red, and only Tyson was left to choose where he wanted his.

"Come on Tyson-chan! It shouldn't be so hard to pick where you want your guild mark will be," Levy told Tyson.

Tyson glanced around, seeing that many were visible where others weren't. "I want mine in orange and where Erza's is except on my right arm," Tyson gave his right arm over and Levy stamped it.

It gave a small glow was created and then disappeared. Levy removed the stamp from his arm to show the mark in orange. Levy placed the stamp in her bag. There were happy conversations going about.


"So Natsu, when are we to get ourselves to Crocus?" Laxus asked.

"I was thinking that we get going tomorrow. We rest and give ourselves a good stock of food to take with us today so we're prepared to get to Crocus," Natsu told Laxus.

"Natsu, I want to ask you a favor," Erza came up.

"What would that be Erza?" Natsu was wondering.

"I was hoping that you could rebuild Fairy Hills since most of us girls won't have a place to live," Erza claimed.

"What about a boys' dorm Natsu-nii?" Romeo asked.

"Sure, we can build it also, but we have to survive and win this battle first before we can do any building," Natsu reminded him.

"The upcoming battle in Crocus will certainly remind us of the battle against the dragons," Levy sighed as she wrote.

"Well, I guess we should start preparing for the trip," Wendy pointed out.

"Lucy, do you think we'll win the battle?" Tyson asked.

Lucy looked at him, surprised by the question, but then smiled, saying, "Why wouldn't we win? We've got some of the strongest members in the guild! Plus, we've got Natsu as guild master so he'll push us to continue fighting."

Tyson nodded in understanding and truly hoped that Lucy was right.


The next morning came around, all the members of the new guild were asleep in different parts of Natsu's home. Natsu awoke early and crept outside, feeling the warm summer breeze blow lightly. Natsu knew that it was July fifth, two days before the day that Igneel left him and fourteen years after that; the dragons coming from the Eclipse Gate. He knew that was going to be the day when they arrived in Crocus and when they battle against the assassin would start. Natsu sighed and turned when he heard the door softly close behind him. He saw Lucy, a small smile on her lips. "Worried?" She asked.

"A little. Just hoping we can get this battle over with soon," Natsu told her.

She stood next to him as they watched the sun. "I'm glad that you got picked guild master. I think you'll do great," Lucy told Natsu truthfully.

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Natsu asked.

"You looked like you were having fun with Wendy, Tyson, and Romeo. It was fun to watch how you acted around them," Lucy gave a small laugh.

"I did teach them how to fish," Natsu said truthfully.

"You had an awful lot of fun when you teaching them too," Lucy pointed out.

"I'm hoping we win this fight. The last time I fought them, I got myself a few cuts. They're even tougher than the knights that guarded the other king," Lucy saw worry flicker in his eyes.

Lucy put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him. "It'll be fine. We're all here for you," Lucy said softly.

"Yeah, that's right; I've got to do my best for the others," Natsu said a little more cheerfully and added, "Thank you, Lucy."

Lucy gave a nod, knowing that he was less worried now.
