"I'm sure that tower was around here." Uryu said.

"Hurry! I'm certain that Orihime and Ichigo were there." Erza shouted. Every member of Fairy Tail was hurrying to where the tower was. Every member that was in Noches Espada has disappeared with the tower and no one understood what happened. Rukia looked ahead and saw three of the spirit slayers standing by a crater.

"Is that Nel and Muramasa?" Rukia said.

"Yes and Grimmjow is with them. Grimmjow!" Renji called out and got his attention. Rukia noticed he didn't look happy at all. "What happened here?" Grimmjow just turned back to the crater and all of them looked down. Everyone looked in it to see Ichigo was in there and he was sobbing.

"Ichigo?" Natsu said as he was curious as to what he was doing. They all looked to see it was Orihime and she looked like she was dead.

"No." Rukia said under her breath as all of them were heartbroken that one of the kindest members of Fairy Tail is gone.

"Onward to New Generations"

No one dared made a move inside the crater. They were all to hurt to even move. Harribel and Shunsui had some understanding since they knew her, but those who weren't part of Fairy Tail could barely.

"What's going on? Who is that down there?" Sting asked.

"That must be the Night Spirit Slayer." Rogue said. "I take it that girl is the one we all came to help save, but it looks like we were too late." Erza marched right over to Grimmjow and had him face her.

"What happened? I demand you tell me what happened to Orihime." Erza said.

"She did this for all of us." Grimmjow said.

"Orihime was worried some of her members might be dead or seriously injured." Muramasa said. "So she used that tower to save all of you. Apparently it only worked on members of Fairy Tail." It's true since he, Nel, and Fairy Tail's other allies were still injured. "She also made it so that the tower that was just here would never be used again."

"However, the cost was that it took her own life." Nel said as she cried.

"No. How could this have happened?" Rukia cried as the tears started to roll down her face. Renji placed his hand on her shoulder. Rukia brushed it off and cried right into his chest.

"This is horrible." Lucy said as she cried with Natsu holding onto her. Almost everyone was in tears for the loss of their friend. Orihime was the kindest and most selfless person in the entire guild. There's nothing worse knowing that person will never be seen again.

"I wish there was another way." Grimmjow said.

"What are you talking about? There must have been." Uryu said.

"No. Noches Espada was overwhelming and I can tell a lot of people must have used up a lot of magic power and suffered many injuries." Grimmjow said. "If it weren't for Orihime, many of us probably wouldn't be standing here. She died because she put everyone before herself like a real Fairy Tail wizard would." Uryu could see Grimmjow's point, but it didn't make the pain any better.

"Why did this had to happen? What did Orihime do to deserve this?" Ichigo sobbed. "She shouldn't have had to die for all this to end." Ichigo continued to cry, but noticed a small light coming from Orihime. For some reason, magic power was starting to flow into Orihime as she began to glow a bright orange color.

"What's going on now?" Gray said.

"Magic power is flowing into Orihime's body, but how?" Erza said.

"Orihime?" Ichigo questioned. Some force came from Orihime and pushed Ichigo back. No one understood what was happening. Orihime was lifted a little off the air and a triangle that looked like her shield was formed over her and shined a ray of light like sunlight down on her.

"What's going on?" Lyon asked.

"It looks like Orihime's magic and it's healing herself." Nagato said.

"I thought Orihime couldn't heal herself." Igneel said.

"She chose not to, but she shouldn't if she's dead." Lilly said. The light rained down on Orihime and it was acting the same as if Orihime was healing someone. The light began to fade and Orihime was placed gently on the ground.

"Orihime!" Ichigo called out as he raced back over to her. He lifted her head, but he felt something different. "Wait, her body feels warm." He also noticed her eyes twitched a little. "Orihime?!" It became a miracle as Orihime opened her eyes and they were full of life.

"Ichigo?" Orihime said.

"Orihime, you're alive!" Ichigo cheered as he held on tight to her and all the tears turned to smiles with tears of joy. No one understood how this was possible, but at this point they didn't care. They were glad that Orihime came back.

"She's actually alive. It's a miracle." Rukia said.

"Rukia, may I ask why you are topless?" Byakuya asked. That had Renji realize that Rukia was in a bra and half of her dress and he was holding onto her the entire time.

"Oh gosh!" Renji said as he pulled away with his face as red as his hair. "Why are you topless?"

"Oh man." Rukia said as she tried to keep herself covered.

"Nice going, Byakuya. We got a nice moment going on and you had to ruin it." Grimmjow said.

"My apologies, but I respect a woman's dignity….especially since she's my sister." Byakuya said.

"That is still no excuse." Grimmjow said. Ruin or not, this was one of Fairy Tail's greatest victories. After everything has been settled, Fairy Tail helped the people that live in Karakura return and helped rebuilt the place. Meanwhile, Ichigo and his friends were trying to figure out how Orihime came back to life.

"So, tell us how you did it, Orihime." Renji said. "How did you use your magic and come back to life? That's got to be the most amazing thing I've ever seen."

"I'm not really sure." Orihime said. "All I did was step inside the crystal and fell into the tower."

"Do you remember anything else that might have happened?" Uryu asked. Orihime tried to think, but most of it was just a blank.

"All I did once I was inside and wish for my friends to be safe and for all of Noches Espada and the tower to vanish." Orihime said.

"The tower only affected those with Fairy Tail's emblem or Noches Espada's emblem." Rukia said. "Do you think the residual magic power of that crystal tower saved Orihime since she has our emblem?"

"That is quite the theory." Uryu said.

"But there's no way to prove that." Chad said.

"Who cares what the reason was? The important thing is that Orihime is alive and Noches Espada is history." Ichigo said. All of them were thrilled for that. Howeer, there was more to Orihime's story.

'Rukia might be right, but there might be something else. I'm just not entirely sure.' Orihime thought. She thought back as she went into the tower. As she activated the power of the God's Renewal, she was surrounded in a bright light. She thought it would be the end of her, but she saw someone reach down and grabbed her hand and it looked like someone she was very close to. 'I don't know if that actually happened, but the shadowy person was my brother, Sora. Maybe he felt horrible that he felt he was the reason for all of this or some other reason. Either way, maybe it was my Sora's spirit that saved me.'

"Orihime." Ichigo said and gained her attention.

"Yeah?" Orihime asked. When she looked at Ichigo's face, she remembered she did a little something just before she was about to sacrifice herself and caused her face to become all red.

"I think we need to talk about what you said back in the tower and you know what I'm talking about." Ichigo said.

"What? What happened in there?" Renji said.

"Uh….Ichigo, I know what I said and did. I….I just thought that would be the end….I didn't know how else to tell you….." Orihime was practically in a state of panic. Ichigo brought his arms up and around her to settle her down.

"You need to get a hold of yourself when there's nothing to worry about." Ichigo said. He leaned in and kissed Orihime back from her first one and Orihime leaned into it. This was certainly a surprise to the others.

'Our battle with Noches Espada came to a close as Ichigo and I concealed it with our own love.'

….

Orihime

'After a long and hard fought battle, it was so nice to know that it all came to an end. With Noches Espada gone, there wasn't much for us to worry about anymore.' Orihime wrote down in a journal.

"Oh my god. You're still writing in a diary? What are you….a teenager?" Ichigo asked and he had a slightly different hairstyle. "We need to get going."

"Right. I'm coming." Orihime said as she put the book away.

'Around twenty years have passed since that day and somethings have changed since. Ichigo and I got married and had a son named Kazui.' Orihime narrated. Downstairs in their new home was their son who looked kind of like Ichigo as he was getting ready to go.

"About time. My friends are waiting Mom." Kazui said.

"Sorry. I'm ready to go." Orihime said as the three of them headed for the guild

'A couple things haven't changed. Our love for Fairy Tail and the never ending adventures.' Orihime narrated. Upon arriving, Kazui's friends were waiting for him.

"There you are." A girl with red hair said.

"Sorry. My Mom took some time." Kazui said.

"Ichika, be nice." Renji said.

"Leave it. She's not doing anything wrong." Rukia said who had longer hair.

'Rukia and Renji got married as well and have a daughter named Ichika. She and Kazui have been great friends since they were kids.' Orihime narrated.

"I know better to get on her bad side." Kazui said. "She can be kind of scary when she's mad."

"Shut up." Ichika said as she hit him right in the face. The two of them walked over to a boy hat looked like Uryu and a beautiful girl.

"Isabella, Klaus!" Kazui called out. "Are you two ready to get going?"

"Yeah." Isabella said.

"We've been waiting for you." As the four gathered together, their fathers watched them.

"Off to another job?" Uryu said.

"Be careful." Chad said.

"Don't worry, Dad. We'll be fine." Isabella said.

'Chad and Uryu settled down to. Chad has a daughter named Isabella and Uryu has a son named Klaus.' Orihime narrated. Kazui looked over to see someone else.

"Hey, Jagger! You want to come." Jagger was the spitting image of Grimmjow. Speaking of which, Grimmjow encouraged him to go by pushing against his back.

"You might as well do something." Grimmjow said.

"Fine just so you won't annoy me." Jagger said.

'Even Grimmjow got married with a couple kids. Jagger sees Kazui as his rival, but the same can't be said the other way around.' Orihime narrated.

"This is going to be fun. We're off." Kazui said.

"Kazui, be careful. Remember what everything your father and I taught you." Orihime said.

"Mom, I'm sixteen years old. We'll be fine." Kazui said with Jagger giving a small laugh.

"Mama's boy." Jagger mocked.

"You have a soft spot too for your sister." Kazui said. The five of them headed out and Orihime watched as her son left for his own job and how the adventures always continue in this guild.

"They'll be fine. You worry too much." Ichigo said.

"I know." Orihime said.

'My adventure has come to an end, but it never stops in Fairy Tail. They move onward to new generations.' Orihime narrated. One story closes and another one opens. That's how things are in Fairy Tail and it will continue for years and brand new generations to come. 'That's the best part of Fairy Tail. It never ends.'

AN: Done, my second longest story. Anyway i want to be very clear about this one more time. I know Fairy Tail is only two chapters away from it's finale and I know chances are Natsu and Lucy are having this Nashi girl, but I have this one story idea that involves Nagato and Erza being master that I think is really good. I at least want to introduce one of my own versions of the new generation. I have another with this huge story, but that's going to be a long time away with many other stories planned before it and I'll change that around to fit the finale. As for the one involving Nagato I want to put that one up regardless of what the finale is and it will come up after my next story.
