It's the next morning inside the Training Dimension for the Slayer Team. The door to Kori's room has remained locked for the entire Lacrima Infusion, however Layla has emerged leaving Saphira to watch over her daughter.

The Group was considering a beach visit to check out the Ocean of the Dimension however Gray wanted to visit the snow-covered hills and mountains to get back to his roots.

In the end they decided to split up, but before they did Layla informed them that Kori's infusion was almost complete...


The Group was standing outside the Building near the Magic Analyser Board, as Layla informed them of the news.

"So she is almost done?" Natsu said excitedly almost hopping in place.

"Yes looks like the process was a little faster than expected so it only took the night, I expect to see her up and about within the hour" Layla said informing the group.

"So just what does this infusion do anyway?" Gajeel asked

"It is an 'activation' if you will of all the Dragon Essence you have received, it will grant you certain... Characteristics, outside that of a normal human" Layla responded slightly vaguely.

"Characteristics?" Wendy asked slightly worried about the meaning.

"Currently when you enter Dragon Force, you receive scales to some of your body. That is a partial unlock to your powers allowing you to exceed your maximum during that time." Layla said

"So if that's a partial? what's our complete unlock?" Natsu said as he looked at Layla

"You hands will become Claws and you will also gain Wings for mobility. Those are the 2 major differences, however these only occur during Dragon Force, so they will not interfere with your day-to-day lives." Layla said clarifying

"Claws?!" Wendy said scared as she looked at her hands

"WINGS!" Natsu and Gajeel excitedly proclaimed as they high-fived each other

"It will be something like this..." Layla said as she closed her eyes and released some seals.

Layla brought out her wings and had changed both her arms. Her arms were covered in thick golden scales on the upper side with a chrome sheen on the 'softer' underside; in a fashion very similar to that of Ophiuchus. lightening arced along the Golden scales and both her hands had been replaced by powerful looking Dragon Claws.

"The idea behind the two additions, is that you will have the ability to fly, allowing you to intercept airborne targets; the wings themselves also give you the ability to very rapidly accelerate in any direction as well as another form of slayer magic specific to your element."

"The Claws are designed to drastically increase your point of contact with your target giving you complete penetration to armored targets like dragons; additionally your throughput of magic via your hands will also double increasing the effectiveness of the majority of your Slayer spells" Layla said with a reassuring smile

"AWESOME" Natsu proclaimed.

"So it isn't like a full transformation, we wont ever become dragons like Acnologia?" Gajeel asked just to make sure

Wendy shivered as she looked at Layla scared of the answer.

"Correct! You will never exceed this level of dragon transformation, as anything more is not practical... Also the idea is that you are to keep your humanity, these additions are purely to help in your role as a Dragon Slayer and nothing more" Layla said as she nodded.

"Well I guess that's not so bad..." Wendy replied feeling a little better with the idea.

"Wendy don't be afraid of this, your hands although capable of destroying a dragon, will also gain a significant boost in your healing output and a drastic improvement to your augmentation magic..."

"You will also be able to create healing winds via you wings, similar to the wisps of air you see around this dimension; those wisps are completely designed off of your wings Sky Magic ability" Layla said with a smile

Wendy flashed a wide smile at the idea of creating the winds that she could see around her, and the rest of the group all smiled happily at her restored confidence.


At that Moment Kori and Saphira emerged from the front door to greet the group.

"Hiya all!" Kori exclaimed in excitement, not losing any liveliness.

"Kori, how do you feel?" Natsu said as he inspected her for physical evidence which Kori giggled at. Lucy however wasn't too pleased with the attention Natsu gave her

"I'm fine, I feel pretty good, full of energy!" Kori exclaimed

"Kori if you are feeling up for it, now would be a good time to show them exactly what you have gained from the process" Saphira said with a smile.

"Cool... Wait... How do I do that?" Kori said excited but also confused.

"Go into your Dragon Force" Saphira said with a smile, everyone all took a step back away from Kori.

"Alrighty!" Kori said as she ignited into cold blue flames and a few seconds later 2 blue wings with white undersides appeared on her back. There was a large blue Fairy Tail Insignia on the underside of each wing, strangely in a similar fashion to Citrine's.

Kori's Arms were completely covered in scales, once again blue on the upper-side and white on the under. Her hands changed into claws and on the palms of each hand, she had a blue dragon insignia which was shaped like a serpent but in a spiral shape.

"Oh Sick!" Kori exclaimed as she flapped her wings, much to the displeasure of the others as it emitted a chilling Blizzard which made everyone shiver profusely... except for Gray who stripped.

"The wings are kinda wierd, but they are surprisingly easy to control; can I like, fly with these?" Kori said as she looked at Saphira and Layla, both of whom smiled and nodded.

"But! Before you go running off..." Layla said getting Kori's attention

"I'd like to check your output on the Magic Analyser now, it should be substantially higher..." Layla said as she gestured Kori to the board

Kori excitedly placed the open palm of her right claw to the board, a few seconds later numbers appeared

==================
Mana Capacity 16384/16384
Reserve Capacity 5120/5120

Power XX/10
Speed XX/10
Endurance XX/10
Defense XX/10

Current Max Output 93728
Currently Unlocked 100%
Current Rating: SLAYER
=================

"WOW" everyone exclaimed as they looked at the new output figure, but they were a little confused by the omitted numbers for her base statistics.

"What's the deal with the X's" Erza asked looking at Layla

"The Reason for the X's is because of Dragon Force, this makes Kori's abilities exceed 100% as she is in a boosted state but you can pretty well assume they are at their maximum for argument sake" Layla responded with a smile.

"So this is what a completed Slayer looks like... Geehee" Gajeel said with a large grin on his face

Natsu was hopping with excitement while Wendy simply smiled looking at Kori.

"Yes, and with training in this place you can all achieve the same" Layla said as she looked at the 3 remaining slayers.

"Okay, it's time to get motivated and get started with our training" Erza said with a nod


The group started to split up to hit the training they had planned, however Layla asked Gray to stay behind...

"You wanted to talk to me Layla?" Gray said as he looked at her wondering what it was about.

"At this stage you probably feel left out, and that's understandable. With there being 4 Slayers who will achieve what you have seen, Erza has her Pandora armor; even Lucy, I'm sure you have noticed has leapt in strength" Layla said as she looked at Gray with her blue eyes.

"I do admit that I'm not sure where I fit in, my magic is completely different and it's all about visualisation" Gray responded

"Yes Molding Magic can be considered some of the hardest to master, but because of that difficulty, not many ever achieve greatness. It is quite rare to ever see molding magic willingly adopted without a strong person to guide their students development" Layla said as she placed a hand on gray's shoulder.

"Yes, Ur was an amazing teacher, but unfortunately she has passed on" Gray said with remorse.

"Well I'll let you in on a little secret, this place we are in... I created using a form of molding magic" Layla said with a smile, as Gray looked at her surprised.

"This place was made using Molding Magic?" Gray said in amazement.

"Yes, as you said it requires vision, and I have had a long time to imagine this place... But I'm not the only one here who can help you..." Layla said with a smile as Saphira and Kori waved at gray

"Seriously?" Gray said looking at Layla

"Yes Saphira is the Queen of Ice in my court, and I guess you can consider Kori to be a princess..." As Layla said this Kori was practicing flying and crashed into the accommodation building causing Saphira to face palm.

"Eitherway... The 2 of them are very adept at all aspects of Ice and its make up, so they should be able to assist you greatly. With their help you may even see some things in Ice that you haven't come across yet." Layla said with a reassuring smile to Gray

"Thanks, I look forward to it" Gray said as he smiled at the pair

"If we want to get to the mountains faster I can always fly you there Gray!" Kori exclaimed as she came out from the hole in the wall to the accommodation building.

"Um... I think it would be safer if I walked..." Gray replied terrified that he was going to die if Kori flew him there.

"It's okay Gray, I'll carry you up there, that way we can start sooner and help you master your magic" Saphira said as she released her seals returning to her Blue Dragon form.

"I'm still a little freaked out, but it certainly will be safer than Kori" Gray said as Kori grinned giving him the peace sign

Gray climbed on top of Saphira's back near the base of her neck as he held tightly to her two large horns like reigns. Saphira slowly flew up and gently began to glide towards the snowy mountain area.

They ended up flying over Natsu, who was walking down the grassy field. He hopped up and down in envy of Gray riding a dragon; ignited his fist as he began to chase them, but gave up quickly as they were too fast.

Layla changed her eyes to purple and surveyed the area to see how the group had split up. She noticed that Gajeel and Pantherlilly had set off together towards the river with the desert on the other side, and saw that the remaining group of Erza, Lucy, and Wendy were heading towards the beach area.

Layla smiled before turning around to see the giant hole in the wall Kori had created to the accommodation building, but she just raised her hand and used Time magic to revert it back to mint condition.

Once repaired, Layla decided to leave the dimension to report on their progress to Makarov, she figured 10 minutes outside was only 5 hours so all should be fine.


Layla emerged from the portal prompting Mira to wave at her welcoming her back, so Layla approached the bar to say hello.

"Hello Mira, your cheerful as always" Layla said with a smile as she sat down at the bar.

"How are they doing inside? are they fighting among themselves still?" Mira said with a giggle.

"No no, they have all separated to do their own thing. Gray has gone to the mountains with Kori and Saphira to help him with his Ice magic; Natsu looks to be walking to the arena section with happy; Gajeel and Pantherlily have seperated off and are heading towards the desert area; while Wendy Erza and Lucy are heading to the beach area" Layla said giving a brief overview.

Mira giggled as she said "So, Kori will be with Gray then..." this prompted another laugh from Mira who couldn't help but remember Kori's sudden affection towards Gray when she smelt his Ice.

"I think I know what you are thinking... But I'm sure Saphira will keep the two on the straight and narrow" Layla said with a smile but she never considered the possibility so it did make her wonder.

"I'm sure you're right" Mira said reassuringly as she polished a wine glass.

"Do you know if Makarov is around, I'd like to inform him about Kori's readout on the Magic Analyser" Layla said

"Oh was it that good?" Mira said with a smile

"Yeah we finished the final stage of her development and she is now complete; her output was 93000" Layla responded

Mira dropped the glass she was polishing in shock prompting a few people to stare at her in the room but she quickly composed herself to not make a scene before whispering "93000? Are you serious?"

"Yes, after all they were created to defeat dragons; Kori is just the finished product, the rest will be similar in no time" Layla said with a smile.

"You may want to hold off on telling master that, he may have a heart attack." Mira quickly responded with a look of worry in her eye

"It's ok they will have Erza, Gray, and Lucy to control them" Layla said trying to dismiss her fears.

"Speaking of Lucy... she exhibited some extreme power earlier when she got angry, a few people were worried for her" Mira replied with concern.

"I was a little worried that might happen, it's why I can't release all of her power at once, she needs time to adapt and control each increase" Layla said before concluding its best done in the dimension in future.

"That wasn't all of it?" Mira said confused as the power she saw was almost rivalling Gildarts.

"Oh she has 2 more seals to go, so there is still quite a bit left for her... although I may need to teach her some other magic to use to accompany her Celestial magic... or it could be a problem..." Layla said as she folder her arms.

"She has 2 more seals!?" Mira said in horror.

"Don't worry, as long as she always has her friends and is welcomed with open arms, she will never lose her way" Layla replied with a reassuring smile.

"Yes, Fairy Tail will always be her home and family" Mira replied with a happy smile

"I should probably head back its been a few hours for them now so best make sure they are all ok" Layla thought to herself as she got up and walked back to the portal (I'll let Makarov know when we are finished in here) Layla thought as she re-entered the portal...
