I assume everyone has seen the Fairy Tail movie trailer? I mean, its been out for a while. I don't have much of a thought on that right now but what I DO have a thought on is the Hunger Games movie scheduled to come out March 23.

Personally, I don't like its futuristic look. I honestly didn't expect the characters to look half the way they do and those peacekeeper outfits…gg.

I can expect the movie to be at least half decent because it seems like they have put a good amount of work into it. It would be awesome if they made good movies of the whole series and perhaps redeem Mockingjay (terrible in my opinion).

But anyways, we see the return of a character we haven't seen in a while perhaps even another. Enjoy and let me know what you think of the Hunger Games movie in your review.

The explosion in Magnolia caused a large disturbance in the world. Magnolia was a famous town, being the ancient home of the infamous Duckensford and the current home of Fairy Tail. With around one million inhabitants, Magnolia is the 3rd largest city in Fiore and the 7th largest city in the Garlan Empire.

Magnolia is an important trading center and the destruction of the open air market as not about to be overlooked.

Wizard Council

"Gentlemen, Magnolia has been bombed." Hyde said seriously as all of the council members bowed as he entered the room holding a folder in his hand.

The queen's consort slid the folder across the glossy black marble table towards the new chairman, Justinian Steiner. He was a young man, snow white hair, eyes like coal and a serious face at all times. He was not a native of Fiore, having been the Grand Master of the Order of the Arcane King in Q'Rex. He looked over the file quickly and laughed and pushed it away.

"Walther Heinz? Iv never even heard of him. Hes no threat." Justinian said coldly as he looked at Hyde with disinterest.

The brown haired consort just looked grim. It had taken a lot of time to dig up that file and it was dismissed as unimportant? For the first time in a while, Hyde exploded. The stress had been building for days, Lida's assassination attempt, the criminal group tearing Fiore apart, a rising kingdom in the west and finally, the Magnolia explosion.

Hyde slammed his fist down on the table and he drew his sword. He aimed it straight at Justinian's neck and several of the Black Army soldiers who guarded the wizard council members turned their guns on the council, serving the consort before the council. Justinian looked at the sword point with a cold gaze.

"You have not been selected to head the wizard council because we like you Justinian." Hyde said coldly as the soldiers aimed their guns at the council. "We elected you because we heard you were a good leader and a powerful mage. As viceroy*, I have the power to remove you from power. You will do as I say and you WILL NOT complain. Do you understand?"

Justinian moved Hyde's sword point out of the way and he sighed. The other council members were scared out of their minds.

"Very well, we will do as you ask, viceroy." The chairman said, obviously angry with Hyde.

Hyde nodded and he marched out of the wizard council meeting room, feeling better already.

Magnolia

The fires raged and the smoke filled the streets as people screamed and ran for cover. Debris was scattered everywhere, broken pieces of wood, bricks as big as a fist and pieces of stone littered the ground and the dense grey smoke made it impossible to see. And Raymond was wandering around in the smoke, looking to see if he could help in any way. But it was obvious he couldn't as people screamed and pushed past him. Sirens were blaring and he could hear soldiers running through the smoke trying to save people.

"I warned you…this is the world. Let me take your body and you will not have to live this life of evil and destruction…" Vincent snarled, making Raymond cringe.

"Silence! Raymond will do as he wants. Do not try to influence him, devil spawn!" Julius raged as he fought against Vincent in Raymond's mind.

"The boy's body is mine! Once I overtake you and the boy I will live as the god of evil! The first and only god!" Vincent laughed maniacally as the two spirits attempted to destroy each other.

"You are as greedy as Serex and you shall be punished for your crime!" Julius raged.

Suddenly Raymond was pushed to the ground by something black and it ran past him.

"Watch it kid!" the figure shouted as it ran through the smoke.

Raymond was about to get up, his bones hurting from the fall when someone extended a hand. It was a figure wearing black gloves, a wrist guard made of steel and wearing a chest plate of polish steel. His face was king and his light brown hair had soot in it. He was wearing a peaked hat with the Garlan emblem on it and he helped Ray to his feet. The child just looked up at the man with admiration. Who was this man?

"You alright kid?" the man asked as Raymond just slowly nodded.

The sounds of footsteps came closer to them and several voices began shouting.

"General! The fires and the smoke is starting to clear! All citizens have been evacuated!" the soldiers shouted as they ran past, red uniforms stained black by the flames.

The man nodded and he pulled Raymond along, smiling to himself as they went. They ran until they burst through the dense smoke to a place where all the citizens in the town had been gathered. The soldiers kept all the people back and the general that had found Raymond stood in front of the soldiers.

"Citizens! Please don't panic! We are trying to get all of this under control! Fairy Tail mages will be assisting the situation soon!" the general shouted as the people tried to get through the soldiers.

As if right on cue, several of the legendary Fairy Tail mages emerged from the now thinning smoke, dirty and grim looking as several came out, carrying people in their arms. Natsu came out with a swelling belly.

"Raymond! There you are!"

Ray turned around to see Azami and Asura running towards him, worried looks on their faces and they rushed towards him.

"Thanks so much for taking care of him for us." Asura said, smiling.

"No problem! He was an awesome kid. General Tadaaki at your service." The general said as he grinned and Azami suddenly whipped around and turned run.

"T-Tadaaki Ryuusaga?" she almost squealed.

The general looked at her which caused her to blush even more. Raymond looked between the two with confusion. Were they lovers?

"Why yes. Do I know you?" Tadaaki asked the madly blushing female mage.

"N…no its just that meeting the great T…Tadaaki himself…" Azami said shyly as she looked down at the ground and glanced up a few times.

Suddenly Gildartz coming through the smoke made Asura and the others look up. He walked over to Tadaaki and gave him a bone crushing hug, the general stumbling back grabbing his ribs.

"Gildartz! You really need to stop giving me those kinds of hugs!" he said as he smiled at the guild master.

Gildartz just let out a hardy laugh as the other Fairy Tail members cleared away the rest of the smoke and the citizens were let back into the city.

"Tadaaki, you know you will always have a home at Fairy Tail!" the orange haired mage said. He looked over at Asura and Azami. "Oh, im really sorry you three. With the explosion in the city…well…I cant spare any mages. Im afraid that you will have to go on your own…"

Asura, Azami and Raymond just sighed and hoped for the best. Gildartz handed them the information to where they were supposed to go and they said goodbye to Tadaaki. Then they were off, to investigate a dark guild.

Lidia's quarters

Lidia sat in the bed that her father used to sleep in and she stared up at the plain white ceiling. Her father had never been into decorations much. Her entire chest had been bandaged and her recovery was going to be slow and painful. However there was light in the darkness as Hyde came by every spare hour he had. Because Lidia was unable to perform her duties as queen, Hyde acted as a Viceroy, ruling in her place as a "King".

"….Well…this is boring…" Lidia sighed as she continued to stare up at the ceiling.

"I know."

The voice made Lidia let out a squeak and she looked to her right to see a man standing beside her bed. Or more like a ghost. It was a shimmery blue and it was familiar… Lidia realized who it was. Archibald, the first queen's consort. He was wearing what he had always worn in portraits. Ceremonial armor trimmed in gold and red with several golden cords. He wore his small rounded glasses and he was quite tall.

"I know how painful it is. Recovery I mean." The ghost said, Lidia still sort of scared by it.

"R…recovery? You went through it too?" Lidia asked slowly.

The ghost of Archibald sighed and it seemed to be in distress, twisting and turning as if in pain.

"Yes…as you probably know, I married Sara. I was her consort and yes there was a huge gap between our ages but there was true love in that relationship!" Archibald said, his voice bitter.

Lidia nodded slowly. She had heard this story when she had history class in the palace. Archibald was 6 years older than the queen but they still married. The marriage was in question for the rest of their lives even after Sara died of a broken heart. It seemed people would never get rid of their superstitions.

"You lived a long time afterwards didn't you? I heard a rumor that you watched the birth of my grandfather!" Lidia said, wincing when pain stabbed her as she spoke.

Archibald nodded, his face twisted in bitter anger and sadness.

"Yes, as a master of the arcane arts, my lifespan was lengthened considerably. But after Sara died, I never felt whole again. She died from the heartbreak of our son's death and I was left alone. But you, you survived an assassination attempt by the love of your consort. Cherish that love as it may not last forever. Recovery is the most painful part of living. Stay young." The ghost said as it slowly evaporated.

Lidia just sighed and closed her eyes. Recovery….was truly hard. Archibald's words rang in her head along with the words with other spirits that had visited her.

?

The torches had been lit, the yellow light filling the room, illuminating the group of people standing around a stone coffin. The group of people all wore black cloaks besides the leader, Ferdinand. There were five people there, all wearing black cloaks and standing around a stone coffin. Ferdinand looked around the circle and he nodded.

"It seems that our last ceremony went…haywire. The loss of our friend Jack disturbed it and it had…unusual consequences. But we wont fail this time. It will take time to build up the magical energy needed but we should be able to do it." Ferdinand said as he looked over to a young girl standing next to a teenage boy wearing a cloak and covered in chains.

"But can we do it in time? Our last ceremony took at least a week and the government and other outside forces are closing in…" the young girl said, her eyes filled with worry.

Jack smiled and he took off his hood, his face being shown in a rare display.

"Don't worry. With me here, we can do it in half that time. Sure, Gin has not arrived yet but we can pull through." The second in command said, smiling.

The young girl nodded and Ferdinand nodded his head. Everyone raised their hands towards the stone coffin.

"Lets begin…"

Near the guild building of King of Blades

The group of three mages traveled the road through the small forest with slight fear in their minds. They didn't know what to expect from this dark guild but they would try their hardest. But they couldn't help but feel like they were being watched. Several times Azami and Asura had to look behind them to check if they were being followed. But nothing was there and Raymond had also shrugged it off as nothing. However, something was lurking close by…

"Hmm…travelers?" Nebula asked Walther as they stood in the high branches of a tree, observing the group.

Walther narrowed his eyes and smiled a bit. Travelers down this road were rare and King of Blades wasn't known for attacking travelers.

"If only Axel and the others were here. Too bad Axel died. I cant say about the others. Oh well, I say we strike them out when they get tired of walking. I mean, they are already in a never ending circle…" Walther said calmly as Nebula sat on top of his head, looking at the group curiously through his eye.

"Very well. Would it be best to get the guild involved?" the black bob asked.

"Why not? Might be fun." Walther replied and they disappeared without a sound.

Excavation zone 192

"I found something! Some sort of coffin!" a worker shouted as he shouted from the small cave they were working in.

Several other workers ran in, excited to see what they had found. They worked hard to dig out the gilded coffin and they looked at the huge boss in the center of the coffin lid. The archeologists started at it, amazed.

"Amazing…we found the tomb of Serex Yosser!" they shouted excitedly as they broke out crowbars and tried to pry off the lid.

It took several tries but the lid slowly started to move and the workers were smiling, happy to have found something interesting. The lid slammed onto the ground and it revealed a smiling face.

"Oh why hello there."

Epic cliffhanger there. I really liked this chapter. Like I said, an old character made a cameo in this chapter and I hope you guys liked it!

References for this chapter: *Hyde is technically a Viceroy because he can rule in place of Lidia if Lidia cant perform her duties.

Also, Garlan people are suspicious of a marriage between a man who is much older than the woman.
