"Speech"

"Thoughts"

"Natsu Dragneel"

Natsu froze after hearing his name. Looking at Lisanna and Happy, he confirmed the fact that they also heard the voice, which means it wasn't only him.

"Vergil"

Seeing the half devil in front of him caused Natsu to form some questions, but one in particular was on top of the list:

"Couldn't you wait for a few hours before showing up?"

Lisanna and Happy face palmed at Natsu's question while Vergil sweat dropped, with his enhanced hearing he knew what his former vessel and Lisanna were about to do before he showed up. Straightening himself, Vergil answered Natsu's question:

"No"

Chapter 27: Vergil

"I just can't get a break" Natsu slumped down after being cock-blocked. Forgetting about it, Natsu grinned at Vergil "It's good to see you again!"

"Oh really" Vergil asked "I wonder: will you still think the same after what's next"

The way Vergil was looking at her boyfriend worried Lisanna. As Natsu casually walked to Vergil Lisanna looked at Happy.

"Lisanna, is that really the same Vergil Natsu was talking about?"

"Happy; go to the guild and get help." When Happy got a questioning look she stated the urgency in her plea "Please, go get help now!"

"How have you been?" Natsu's grin morphed into pain when Vergil punched him in the gut. Dropping to his knees, Natsu looked at Vergil with a questioning look. "Why?"

"It's so much satisfying in the real world, isn't it?" Vergil asked "Now, entertain me"

The slayer had no time to react when Vergil kicked him to the forest, toppling several trees with his crashing body. Realizing Lisanna had been right, Happy flied to the guild to get help while she stayed behind to fight Vergil.

"Takeover: Dragon Soul!" Igniting her fist, she punched at Vergil but, to her surprise, he stopped her fist with ease. Not giving up, she tried to hit him with her other hand but Vergil twisted her arm and pinned her down.

"I don't want to fight you." Lisanna struggled to free herself, but Vergil was just too strong "Stop"

"Vergil!"

Said man only got a glimpse of pink before his face met Natsu's fist, forcing him to release Lisanna. Flipping in mid air, Vergil landed on his feet.

"That's better" Vergil said as he massaged his jaw."Now, show me what you can do"

Not taking his eyes from Vergil, Natsu spoke to Lisanna: "Stay back Lisanna. I'll handle him."

"Natsu…" Noticing the lack of suffix attached to her name told her Natsu was serious about fighting him alone. Reluctantly, she stepped back as Natsu's flames came to life.

"Karyu no tekken!"

Natsu lunged at Vergil with his signature move, only for the half devil to easily block it. Vergil countered with a punch of his own, one that Natsu was able to parry although barely.

"Is this all?"

Vergil's taunt cause Natsu to growl in anger, jumping back to gain distance he gathered air to his lungs to launch his dragon's roar.

"Karyu no Hoko!"

Using Yamato, Vergil easily parted the flames in half, sparring himself from the attack.

"Come on, you can do better!" Vergil taunted "Show me the power you used against Azuma and Hades. Or are you useless without Yamato?"

Taking the bait, Natsu covered himself with flames and tackled Vergil, sending both men rolling deeper into the forest. When they stopped, Vergil grabbed hold of Natsu's head and slammed him on the ground creating a deep crater with the slayer's face. Using his dragon roar, Natsu pried himself of his grip and landed a punch to Vergil's gut, eliciting a grunt of pain from the half devil.

Kicking Natsu to gain distance, Vergil reached for Yamato and prepared to unleash it on the slayer.

"That's cheating! I don't have a sword!"

"Do you think the enemy will fight you on equal terms?" Vergil countered "You must be prepared for anything" Gathering his power, Vergil unleashed his dimension slash towards Natsu.

"Natsu!"

Lisanna watched in horror as her boyfriend was pummeled by Vergil's attack. As the dust cleared, she was relieved to see him alive and covered in lightning flames. Cracking his knuckles, Natsu glared at Vergil.

"Vergil! Raienryū no Hōkō" (Lightning Flame Dragon's Roar)

Vergil was mild surprised by this development "So that's your lightning form?" Vergil's eyes widened almost perceptively as the attack hit him, leveling a great part of the surrounding forest along with him.

His magic power exhausted, Natsu slumped down on the ground before being tended by Lisanna.

"Impressive"

Both of them were in disbelief when, from the smoke, Vergil's silhouette was becoming visible. As the smoke dissipated, Natsu and Lisanna watched in horror as Vergil emerged almost intact while being surrounded by a circle of blue floating swords.

"That attack could have killed me" Vergil inspected his thorn coat "That is, if I hadn't protected myself. Well then, I suppose it's time to start the real fight"

Both Natsu and Lisanna watched as blue flames started gathering around Vergil, but what shocked them was the mark visible on his shoulder.

"Vergil…you…!"

Before Vergil could transform, a powerful blow courtesy of Gildarts stopped him from reaching his devil trigger. Momentarily stunned, Vergil was unable to avoid Mirajane's evil spark and Makarov's fist, crushing him to the ground.

"Natsu! Lisanna! Are you ok?" Happy, alongside Wendy and Charle, joined the couple while Gildarts, Mirajane and Makarov kept a close eye on Vergil.

"I'm fine Happy, but…" Natsu was still in disbelief at what he saw "Vergil is…"

Makarov leveled a harsh stare at Vergil "You have some nerve to attack two of my brats!"

"I was testing his power" Vergil shakily stood up "Besides; is it custom for your guild to attack three on one?"

"Testing? You almost hurt Natsu and my sister!" Mirajane countered. There was something about Vergil that made Mira wanting to fight him at full force.

"My fight was with Natsu only. I would never hurt Lisanna" Looking up, Vergil noticed Mirajane's Satan form for the first time, but decided to store that thought for the time being. "Besides, as you can see: they are still alive."

Before things escalated even further, a glowing presence appeared before Vergil and the mages: "Now now, Third, there is no need to fight"

Makarov and the others were stunned by Mavis presence "First! What are you doing here?"

"Stopping you from killing one of your mages, of course" Mavis said with a smile. It took a moment for Makarov to understand what Mavis meant, but when he saw the mark on Vergil's shoulder his jaw dropped to the ground.

Due to Natsu's last attack, Vergil's coat was thorn and left his shoulder visible for all to see his blue Fairy Tail mark.

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, the headache is mostly gone now." Angel said to Erza as they walked to the prison. During the train trip Angel felt Natsu fighting against someone, but just as the fight was getting serious it abruptly ended. Since Natsu seemed fine after the fight, she didn't want to worry Erza so she refrain herself of telling her about it.

As they reach the council prison, both girls look at the changes made over the last seven years.

"Miss Erza, Miss Angel, this is a surprise" Lahar greets them alongside his assistant "to what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?"

"We came to visit some old acquaintances" Angel coldly adds "Unless you intend to arrest me after all?"

Erza sent her a confused look which Angel answered with one of 'I'll explain later', Lahar for his part knew exactly what she meant: "I apologize for what my colleague said to you seven years ago, Doranbolt was under a lot of pressure and…"

"You mean Mest?" Erza asked; when Lahar nodded, she put two and two together and glared at the captain "I don't know the exact details, but know this: Angel is a part of Fairy Tail. We won't let you imprison her again after you absolved her of her past crimes. Is that understood?"

"Of course" Lahar was not looking to get in Fairy Tail's bad side; in fact he was looking to do the opposite. "Now then, Miss Angel, please follow my assistant and she will guide you to the visiting area."

"Thank you" Angel replied with a fake smile and went inside to see her old teammates, leaving Lahar alone with Erza.

"You want to know about Jellal Fernandez, am I right?"

Nodding, Erza followed Lahar to an empty office to speak about the matter. The council mage knows it's forbidden to divulge information of this sort, but they owe them after the Tenrou island fiasco.

"It happened a few years ago, we believe that the person responsible of freeing Jellal was…"

"Ultear!"

Ultear was currently improving her Arc of time magic when Meredy, now a fully grown teenager, came running towards her. By Meredy's expression it appeared she was excited about something.

"Yes Meredy?" Ultear wiped the sweat from her forehead and focused her attention on the young girl.

"Tenrou Island!" Hearing the name caused a wave of nostalgia to hit Ultear, but Meredy's next words shocked her: "It's still there!"

"Not only that. Everyone from Fairy Tail survived the attack from Acnologia" Jellal added as he joined the conversation.

"Every-one" Ultear whispered, still not believing what she was being told. Meredy just giggled by her reaction, every since that day seven years ago she had known of the crush Ultear developed for Gray.

"We are going to meet them soon. They might be able to aid us with discovering if Zeref is truly behind the guild competition." Seeing she was still daydreaming Jellal called her name "Ultear, Are you alright?"

"O-Of course! When are we going?"

"We cannot be seen near Fairy tail at the moment. When Natsu's team leaves for a mission we shall meet with them."

Once Jellal had left, a grinning Meredy turned her attention to Ultear "Are you excited! You have another chance to see him again!"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ultear turned around so that Meredy wouldn't be able to see the blush on her face.

"It's pointless to deny it. You're head over heels for Gray, just admit it!"

"Meredy" turning around, Ultear gave the girl an evil stare, making the pinkete shudder with fear "How about a training session, just like the old days?"

Yep, Meredy was toast.

Cobra was having a good day; well, as good as anyone while being locked in a maximum security prison with no foreseeable freedom, when some rune guards dragged him to the visiting court. Hell, no one came to visit him. When he got there he was surprised by the unexpected visit.

"Angel!"

"Hey, Cobra"

Taking a seat in front of her, Cobra checked her out "I almost didn't recognize you without those feathers of yours. For what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?"

"I wanted to check on you" Angel replied "It's been a while"

"Seven years. Look at you, you haven't aged a day" Cobra said, it was common knowledge by now about the Tenrou incident "So, how is life treating you? How is FAIRY TAIL treating you, huh?"

The venom in his voice was not missed by Angel "Cobra, it's not like I betrayed you."

"Seems like it"

"They offered me a chance to be free and I took it" Angel defended her choice "Please, if there was a way to set you and the others free I would"

"You can" Sneaking a glance to the distracted guard, Cobra said "They've increased security around here after what happened before, but with you on the outside we can plan something"

Knowing where he was heading, Angel decided to stop him "Sorry, I can't." Thinking about Natsu, Angel knew she had a lot to lose. "I just wanted to check on you, on all of you."

Cobra was mad by her answer, but decided to leave it at that: "Don't come again Angel, just don't."

With no more to be said between them, Angel stood up and allowed the guard to take Cobra away. Asides from Richard, she knew the others would not be as forgiving as he was. This was a mistake after all.

"Angel" Cobra said before she left "I can hear her, I think…she's in the same guild as you. Please, take care of her for me."

Angel didn't know who he was talking about, but nodded anyway. It was the least she could do for him.

Back at Fairy Tail, Makarov was presenting Vergil to everyone.

"Listen up! From this day forward, Vergil" Makarov points to the brooding devil "is a mage of Fairy Tail."

"Vergil? Wait a second!" Nab exclaimed "Isn't he the one Natsu was talking about?"

"Well, kinda…"

Moments ago:

After revealing herself to Natsu and company, Mavis led them to Makarov's private office (technically now Macao's) and elaborated on Vergil's resurrection and allegiance to Fairy Tail.

"Let me get this straight: you resurrected Vergil using Fairy sphere and convinced him to join Fairy Tail?"

"That's right!" Mavis said to Makarov. "It took some doing, but in the end Vergil agreed to join us."

"You revived me; I'm merely holding out my end of the deal" Vergil replied. The half devil loathed the idea of joining a group like this, but there were questions that needed to be answered, and for that he needed to be free of the seal.

"But, there's another reason for wanting Vergil here" Mavis added "It's no secret that Zeref is alive. He is somewhere out there, when he finally shows up we'll need all the help we can get if Zeref decides to act in this time."

"Well, I suppose we could use his help" Macao rubbed his beard "But; can we trust you, Vergil?"

Vergil scoffed at the question: "I have no intentions of hurting your guild or your mages. As I said before; I will honor my deal with Mavis, besides; I want to fight Zeref and see for myself if he's really as powerful as you all say."

Macao was still not convinced about Vergil, but if Mavis and Makarov trusted him then at the very least he could give him a chance. "Very well, Vergil can join Fairy Tail."

Gildarts and Mirajane would follow Makarov and Macao's decision, but remained wary of the swordsman. Lisanna was thinking the same thing; he did attack Natsu without provocation, but there was something about Vergil that told her he wasn't as bad as he appeared to be.

Seeing her job was done, Mavis said: "Now that it's all clear, I'll take my leave. But before I go: Third, you really need to improve the guild; it's too small for my liking."

While Makarov cried due to her last comment, Natsu faced Vergil: "Hold on! There's still one thing left: GIVE ME BACK MY SWORD!"

Vergil ignored him and proceeded to walk past the ranting Natsu "HEY! I'M TALKING TO YOU!"

Natsu punched Vergil from the back, but the half devil merely dodged the blow and using Yamato's handle he hit Natsu on the head, sending him crashing down.

"As I told you before: Yamato is mine. A sword doesn't really fit your fighting style anyway."

Natsu glared at Vergil's retreating form before grinning; it would be a lot of fun at the guild with another strong opponent to fight.

End Flashback

After Makarov and Macao explained the short version to the others, Vergil went to an empty table to think. There was a lot he needed to find out about this world, about what happened to his foolish brother, but most importantly: what to do now after what Mavis had told him:

"There is no need for you to seek more power"

"And why is that?" Vergil asked Mavis.

"Because Mundus is dead"

To think Dante would be able to defeat Mundus was absurd. His brother was able to defeat him; he would give him that, but to kill Mundus, ridiculous. Maybe his son was the one to bring death to the former lord of the demon world.

"Nero" Vergil could only see bits and pieces of his time with the young devil hunter, but for what he could tell, Nero was definitely his son. Proof of it was that only his flesh and blood would be able to restore the broken Yamato. Vergil was not father material, but if he had known she was pregnant he would have stayed at her side.

"Are you hungry, Vergil?"

Vergil broke out of his thoughts and looked at Mirajane's smiling face. Was she really the demoness from before? Seeing she was waiting for his answer, Vergil replied.

"Water will suffice"

"Coming right up" With that ever present smile, Mira went to the bar to ask Kinana for a glass of water. As she walked back, Vergil studied her. Mirajane would be a powerful asset for his plans; her devil trigger was the closest he had seen of his lineage, and she had the power to boot.

"Here you go" placing the glass in front of him, Mira smiled at Vergil with one of her smiles that made him feel uneasy.

"Thank you"

Before he could grab the glass Mira produced a large cleaver out of nowhere and stabbed the table, merely inches from his hand. While the nearby mages freaked out, Vergil merely raised an eyebrow at Mira.

"I believe in giving people a second chance when they join Fairy Tail" Mira said "But, if you ever try to hurt my sister of Natsu ever again, you'll have to deal with me."

With that said Mira returned to her cheerful self and went to help Kinana, leaving Vergil alone to muse on what just happened. Watching her tend tables, Vergil couldn't help but smirk; indeed she would be a powerful asset.

The front door opened as Elfman came to the guild, catching Vergil's interest. Watching his bulky muscular appearance told Vergil that Elfman had potential, but when a random bottle hit Elfman it all went down the drain.

"IF YOU'RE A MAN THEN PROVE IT!" grabbing a table, Elfman tossed it to a group before joining the fight "ONLY THOSE MAN ENOUGH CAN FACE ME!"

Vergil spared another glance at Elfman before ignoring him "Must be Dante's…"

"Mind If I join you?"

Having seen Mirajane and Elfman, left Vergil with the last Strauss sibling. When Vergil didn't answer her question, Lisanna took it as a no and took a seat in front of him.

"It's always like this at the guild" Lisanna said as she watched the current brawl "I hope you don't think we're weird or something"

Lisanna's attempt to lighten the mood was completely ignored by Vergil. Sighing, she focused her attention to the brawl. She only wanted to be friendly to him and explain some things since he's new and…

"Where is Natsu?"

Lisanna was caught off guard by his question. Vergil had noticed that the dragon slayer hadn't bothered him in a while and decided to ask her. Shaking it off, she answered his question.

"He and Happy went with Lucy on a trip."

Vergil remembered the loud blonde from his time at the island, so he knew who Lucy was "And you are ok with this?"

"What do you mean?"

Vergil wanted to kick himself for asking these questions, but something compelled him to do them "What I mean is: are you ok with him going alone with another female?"

Lisanna wanted to argue that Happy was with them, but catching what he meant she said: "if you're asking if I can trust Natsu, then the answer is yes. Natsu and Lucy have been friends for a long time now. Of course I trust them." As she said this, Lisanna subconsciously touched the finger where she wore her wedding band.

Accepting her answer, Vergil was about to ask why they (Natsu and Lisanna) hadn't announced their engagement yet, but stopped himself. "What the hell is wrong with me? Only because she might be my descendant doesn't mean…"

Vergil stopped his line of thought when he saw someone from the corner of his eye. Lisanna followed his line of sight and found Gray arguing with Lyon.

"Oh! That's Lyon Bastila. He's an old friend of Gray." Lisanna said to him before realizing something "Now that I think about it, you two look almost the same. Lyon could pass as your younger brother"

Vergil ignored her comment and kept his eyes trained on the Lamia scale mage. Feeling eyes on him, Lyon stopped his quarry with Gray for a moment and looked around until he noticed Vergil. "Who the heck is he?"

"Long story" Gray offered "But don't change the subject! It's about time you head back to your guild, isn't it?"

"Is that a way to treat a guest?" Lyon countered "I'm only here visiting Juvia, so it's not your business."

"It's my business when it's about a fellow mage." Gray replied.

"Jealous are we?"

While Gray tried to deny it, Vergil kept watching Lyon, wondering what relation he had with him and the Strauss family.

"I got it!"

Mirajane exclaimed, taking Lisanna and Vergil by surprise "Vergil can stay in our house until he can support himself!"

"Mira-nee, I don't think Vergil will accept"

"Lisanna is correct; I don't want to impose myself on you…" Vergil started saying, but seeing the dark look on Mirajane changed his mind "…but, If you insist."

"Then is settled" Mira said, eliciting a nervous laugh from Lisanna and an uncertain look from Vergil.

The next day, Natsu and Lucy returned from their trip back. One worried about his nakama, while the other really didn't know how to feel. Lucy's relationship with her father was not the best, especially after the Phantom lord war. But after learning he had passed away, Lucy didn't know how to feel.

She was currently at the park, thinking what to do about her rent predicament, when her landlady appeared.

"Ooya-san?" without warning, Lucy was dragged by one foot by the large woman.

"Wait! What are you doing!"

Before she knew what was going on, Lucy was dropped inside her old apartment.

"My room…even thought I haven't used it in seven years, it's still clean"

"I cleaned it every week" Her landlord explained "A bunch of your clothes went bad though. I also took an outfit. Take a look at the table."

Lucy did as told and saw several gifts over it. "Huh?"

"They were sent each year, on the same date for the last seven years"

Reading the gif card on one of them, Lucy realized they were presents from her dad. "You…remembered"

"This morning another one arrived" The landlady said to Lucy as she handed her an envelope.

Opening it, Lucy was surprised to see it was a letter from her father. As she began reading it, Lucy realized her father's feelings for her. How after the Tenrou incident he never lost hope of seeing her again.

Unable to hold the tears at bay, Lucy slumped down and cried for her father. "I've always loved you too"

As the landlady left, Lucy crumbled on the floor realizing her father had loved her all along.

Outside, Natsu and Happy's jaw dropped when they saw the landlady wearing one of Lucy's outfits. "Lucy! You've grown!"

"Aye!"

"It looks… good on you" Lisanna commented, trying not to be as blunt as her fiancé.

"You might want to take it easy on her" The large woman said to the trio.

"But we brought work?" Natsu said, showing the landlady the work poster.

"This morning a package came with seven year's worth's rent. I guess this is what they call foolish parenting."

"WHAAAT! THAT MEANS WE'RE THE ONLY ONES WITHOUT MONEY OR FOOD!" Grabbing Lisanna's hand, Natsu started running while Happy followed them. Stopping below Lucy's window, Natsu yelled: "LUCY! WE'RE OFF TO WORK!"

"WE'LL BRING YOU A LARGE FISH!" Happy added.

Lucy smiled hearing what her friend's were telling her, wiping the tears away she said: "WAIT FOR ME! I'M COMING TOO!"

We have lost seven years, you could consider that a lot…but in spite of that…we are going to live in this world.

At nightfall, on the countryside of Oak town, a group of mages gathered on a small building where there was once a great castle. Seven years ago they were known as one of the strongest guilds in Fiore, this is Phantom Lord.

Aria and Sol, the remaining mages of element 4, entered the guild and headed straight to their master. The first to speak was Aria:

"Master, Totomaru refused our offer. It's so sad." The large man broke down crying while Sol explained his reasons.

"Oui, Totomaru chose to stay as master in his school instead of coming back with us."

"I see" An elder Jose Porla, ex-wizard saint and master of Phantom Lord, says and says the next "Then we need to find a suitable fire mage and a new water mage"

Both Aria and Sol nodded furiously, knowing that Juvia was out of the question. Till this day, both hadn't forgiven Juvia or Gajeel for their betrayal.

A waitress refills Jose's wine glass as he speaks: "As for Toto-kun; go pay him a visit, and remind him the punishment for betraying Phantom Lord."

Both Aria and Sol were stunned as they listened to their master: "Y-you don't mean?"

Jose flashed them an evil smirk as an answer "You seemed surprise? Is this not the way of Phantom Lord?" Standing up, Porla tosses his glass to the floor, making the nearby mages cringe. "We need to remind the world of the glory that is Phantom Lord! Now more than ever since those Fairies have returned!"

The mages present knew exactly what Jose was planning; revenge on the guild responsible of their defeat seven years ago, but more importantly, punishment for Juvia and Gajeel for their betrayal.

"What a sad looking guild"

A deep, dark voice echoed through the guild. Jose and the others looked to the entrance to find a weird man standing there. The intruder wore a black cloak that covered him from the shoulders down, red armor pads held the cloak to his shoulders, a red, expressionless mask covers his face, but the most intriguing feature was the weird red helmet with large horns on his head.

Regaining his wits, Jose glared at the intruder: "What did you say!"

"You heard me" The intruder approached Jose, completely ignoring the glares he received from the mage population. "Jose Porla, it's an honor to meet someone of your stature."

Jose smirked at the praise: "At least you recognize greatness when you see it"

"Greatness? I beg to differ." The man pointed to the withered old Jose "Just look at you! Ever since losing to Makarov-san, you have lost the greatness that surrounded you. When I said it was an honor, I meant it as a compliment. For me, you're nothing more than an old fossil of a dying era."

Angered by his words, Jose's eyes turned black "YOU DARE MOCK ME! I AM JOSE PORLA! YOU'LL REGRET THOSE WORDS!"

Jose's dark shades lunged at the man, tearing right through his body. Jose smirked at his work, thinking the intruder was dead, when much to his surprise the man started laughing.

"Really! Is this the best you can do?"

Jose and the others were stunned to see the man was still alive. Let alone practically uninjured by the attack.

Dusting himself off, the man walked to Porla "I suppose it's to be expected, considering your age."

Before Jose could retort, the man plunged his hand right trough Jose's chest.

"But your magic can still be useful to me"

"MASTER!"

Before Aria and Sol could attack him, 3 cloaked mages appeared between them and the Phantom mages.

"Erigor! Ikaruga! Keep them off me!"

"With pleasure" Ikaruga brandishes a dark glowing katana and Erigor reveals a familiar tri-blade scythe. Attacking first, Aria traps them inside his vacuum space with the intention of draining their magic.

"Bitch, please. Let me show you some real wind magic" Erigor swings his scythe towards Aria sending several wind slashes to dispel the vacuum, but more importantly, tearing the large man to pieces. Sol looks to the remains of his teammate and then to the intruders, taking the smart choice he decides to flee only for Ikaruga to pierce him from behind with her katana.

"Where are you going? The party's just getting started" Ikaruga removes her blade from his chest and in one swift move decapitates him. The remaining phantom mages cower in fear as both Erigor and Ikaruga turn their attention to them. "Now then, who's next?'

Said mages engaged the Phantom mages, while the unknown man drained Jose's power. The master of Phantom Lord felt his very essence leaving him before slumping down dead before the man.

"Master, we're done here" Ikaruga says with a singsong tone. Turning around, their master was pleased to see dozens of bodies surrounding Ikaruga and Erigor before turning his attention to his third servant.

"I know you wanted to join them, but you still need more time to recover your strength." He said to the woman "And when that time comes, I know it will be a glorious blood bath."

The woman clutched something beneath her cloak as she replied: "Hai, Lord Deimos"

Deimos gazed at Jose's lifeless body while feeling the magic he had stolen from him course though him "Soon, we will be able to achieve our goal"

A.N.

I wonder who can guess who the third person is. I won't tell you, but it might be fun for you to try and guess who she really is.

There you go! Another chapter up! Since I haven't seen any fics with sex scenes removed, I will continue here as planned. If it does come to pass that my story is deleted, I will upload the new link on my profile.

Adding Vergil to Fairy Tail was amongst my plans, and although it's OOC for him to join them take in mind the reason he gave in this chapter. That doesn't mean he just turned into a new leaf from one day to the other, he is still planning something. As for him being Nero's dad; in Devil May Cry 4 it is heavily hinted that Vergil is indeed Nero's father, and it's confirmed by a developer at Capcom.

Regarding your feedback, I've decided to include Juvia to Gray's harem. As for Deimos goal; it will be revealed in future chapters. That aside, let me tell you some rumors I've dug up during my search on the net about Fairy Tail:

*Hades is revealed to be alive (quite possible if you take into consideration his grimoire heart.)

*The takeover siblings parents might be members of Tartarus (Could be, since we haven't heard anything from them on canon, asides of what I've written)

*Zeref is related to Natsu somehow (he might be his father, friend from the past, creator?)

*Zeref is a dragon slayer and his dragon is Acnologia.

*Dante is revealed to be a part of Tartarus.

*Natsu will reunite with Igneel and be forced to fight him to unlock his full potential.

*Lucy's mom, Layla, is somehow involved with the disappearance of the dragons.

*Mavis and Zeref have a connection.

*Lumen Historie is related to real life fairies.

*Chelia, Sherry's younger sister, is connected to Zeref. I know that in the last chapter Jellal dismissed that thought when he felt the dark presence after the match, but it's too much of a coincidence that she is a god slayer like Zancrow.

* Mavis is related to Natsu

That's about what I can remember for now. Now, onto some reviews:

Yuriski-1st: It wasn't in my initial plans to turn this story into a harem, but it just turned out like that. Besides, it's more interesting this way.

EXTREMEryohei: I read that oneshot you mention (that's where I got the idea from). If anyone is interested to read it, it's called: Sunset by InfernoDarkness. As for Yukino, she will appear in the next chapter.

THEgirlWHOshipsLisannaxLucy: I also expected that, but since I didn't saw a lot of them I decided to write this story. I'll have to think about writing that idea of yours. In the meantime I recall seeing a Natsu x Lisanna x Lucy fic somewhere, might be worth searching for it.

Shadow of the fire: It's not too soon for them to get engaged if you think about it: they've known each other since they were young, they had a connection before her "death" and if she hadn't disappeared they might have been more in the manga by now, and finally: with the bond it only makes it more natural for them to tie the knot. I won't write too much about Gajeel and Levy, the same for Happy and Charle, since it's almost canon in the manga, but I will add parts for them now and then.

Ryvius: Ultear will reunite with Gray next chapter (and maybe she will meet Cana too). I haven't really thought about what Angel's role will be once Natsu marries Lisanna, but I don't see her as a mistress (the same for Yukino). Maybe he can marry those two in a distant future, who knows. Juvia is confirmed to join Gray's harem.

Xgensean: glad you like it. I have more content planned for the future, and maybe even reach the grand games as well (with minor changes, of course)

Shadowdemon98: Oh yes, they will fight.

God Slayer; I'll stick with Charle for now. Thanks for the review.

Frozen-tundra88: I also think Gray is realizing Juvia's feelings for him, especially with Lyon here, but for some reason he hasn't acted yet. Anyway, thanks for the review.

Cooldude: Of course Vergil can remove the bond, but HE WON'T.

Pinkchocolate: NO (Read the comment above for more details).
