Hey, fairy tail fans, welcome back to a fairy tail re-told! We continue the origin story of Mavis Vermillion as she tells how she came to become the fairy heart and the protector of Magnolia. Having gained the curse of Ankhseram, Mavis stayed with Zeref, where she learned his living magic. How does that affect her story? Find out now on a fairy tail re-told: the final chapters!

Now the journey continues.


"Mavis, you used an incomplete black magic spell," Zeref said. "Now you're like me," he explained " You've gained the curse of "Mavis; you used an incomplete black magic spell," Zeref said. "Now you're like me," he explained. "You've gained the curse of Ankhseram."

"what," Mavis said.

"you made a judgment on who lives and dies," Zeref said. "As such, you have been cursed," Zeref said. "Forgive me, but magic always has a price."

"no, I," Mavis stopped. "I don't believe you; why are you being so cruel" she screamed.

"it would be crueler not to tell you," Zeref said. "Thanks to the war, which most likely affected how you value life and death, the curse has yet to take hold" he smiled as he looked at her. "You and I are now connected," he said.

"no," Mavis shouted. "I'm nothing like you," she screamed.

"you'll see Mavis," Zeref whispered, "when you understand the true value of life."

"no, I can't," Mavis said. "How dare he say something like that to me" she screamed. "I do understand the value of life; it's more important than anything," she cried. ."

"what," Mavis said.

"you made a judgment on who lives and dies," Zeref said. "As such, you have been cursed," Zeref said. "Forgive me, but magic always has a price."

"no, I," Mavis stopped. "I don't believe you; why are you being so cruel" she screamed.

"it would be crueler not to tell you," Zeref said. "Thanks to the war, which most likely affected how you value life and death, the curse has yet to take hold" he smiled as he looked at her. "You and I are now connected," he said.

"no," Mavis shouted. "I'm nothing like you," she screamed.

"you'll see Mavis," Zeref whispered, "when you understand the true value of life."

"no, I can't," Mavis said. "How dare he say something like that to me" she screamed. "I do understand the value of life; it's more important than anything," she cried.

"Mavis," Yuri cried as Zeref dropped her to the ground, "Hey, don't treat her like that."

"Who are you" Warrod cried.

"wait, he's that black wizard from before," Precht said. "What did you do to her."

"she fell into a sleep," Zeref said as he walked away, "one from which she will never awake," he said.

"Mavis" Yuri shouted. "Mavis," as he glared at the wizard walking away. "What did you do to her" he screamed.

"Nothing, boy," Zeref said. "It was simply the curse of Ankhseram," he admitted. "it kills everything that has had the misfortune to come into contact with, and it would seem my curse killed her."

"You monster," Yuri shouted again.

"No, dear boy," Zeref said, "in fact, I would go as far as to call myself a spriggan, something akin to a hideous fairy." he then left without a ward. "I should have known this would happen," Zeref groaned. "I know I'll go back to Alvarez and play king for a bit; that will clear my mind, for I care for none of those fools."


[##the curse of immortality ost##]


"come on, we have tools in the basement that might help," Warrod said. "We have to

"Quick, grab the revival lacrmia," Precht shouted as he plugged Mavis in; they entered the secret storage of the pub they all had opened in the years since the second trade war, the building that would later go on to be named the fairy pub "Clear," he shouted as he continued, "Come on, Mavis, wake up," he shouted. "Please, you need to wake up."

"Precht would try every revival spell he could find to bring me back to life, but nothing worked. It was then that he started to dive deeper into the dark arts going through every dark and forbidden spell he could find until one day, three years later."

The crystal Mavis was in glowed as black magic surrounded it as Precht backed up. "Come on, please, please work," he said as he closed the book h had found." it took days to get to that hidden magic library," Precht said as the crystal changed color. "Wait," he said as Mavis exited her body, landing on the ground.

"Mavis," Precht asked.

"Precht" Mavis asked. "Where am I," she said as she vanished.

"Mavis, no," he looked back at the lacrmia. "I wonder," he whispered.


[## the fairy heart ost##]


"you want to what," Warrod asked. "You want to build a body."

"that's insane," Yuri shouted.

"but it is the only way," Precht argued. "Her magic power seems to be growing by the second," he said. "If we can force an activation, then prepares, we can have her form a thought projection into an additional body," he said.

"That crazy," Yuri said, "do you understand what you are asking us to do."

"I know," Precht said, "but it's not for me," he said. "It's for Mavis," he said. "I have a feeling," he said, "that the longer her body is in that lacrmia, the more power she'll gain."

"And then what," Yuri said. "It's forbidden magic, Precht," he said

"Fine," Precht said. "If you two won't help me, I'll do it myself," he said as he walked away from the two.

"And so Precht began his first sin, by making me a body from clay brought back through the small black magic notes that he was able to find, and there he was able to create my current body; however, due to his lack of knowledge for living magic he was unable to give it a heart, but that was not necessary. For the curse of immortality allowed me to live anyway."

"Nothing," Precht said

"I knew this wouldn't work," Yuri said. "you should have never" Yuri was stopped when Mavis shuffled in the bed she was in.

Mavis let out a cough as she looked around. "What" she whispered. "Where" she tried to move.

"Mavis," Yuri cried,

"we're so glad you're okay," Warrod said.

"wait, no, you need to get away from me," Mavis shouted. "Where's Zeref," she said.

"Zeref," Yuri asked.

"It's okay," Warrod said.

"no, stay away from me," Mavis cried as she tried to stand up. "How did I end back here."

"Mavis, please calm down," Precht said as Mavis fell to the ground. "That wizard who taught us magic dropped your body here," Yuri said with tears in his eyes. "You were motionless; nothing we tried could bring you back."

"What did you" Mavis muttered.

"What we had to," Precht said. "Your old body .it was."

"no," she said, her face taking a dark one. "you tampered with life and death," she said as dark energy formed around her as she looked at her hands. "Please just stay away from me," she said as she ran away. "I don't want to see any of you ever again."

"Mavis, you need to calm down," Yuri said.

"I was the reason," Mavis said. "I was the reason Rita died," she said, "and unless you want to make Makarov an Orphan, you should stay away from me," she said. "I hate you all, she said, and if I ever see you again, I will kill you," she said as she ran out of the room.

"Mavis, wait"

Mavis ran and ran for a day. She didn't feel anything; the pain she usually felt due to her walking around barefoot was gone. She reached her hand to her chest. She felt nothing, not a heartbeat. She might as well have been a zombie, but she could feel it; the curse of Ankhseram haunted her. Where was Zeref? Why would he leave her? Did he kill her? So many things ran through her?

"At the time, I was scared and confused; I felt so lost; everything I thought I knew about the world was a lie, so I returned to the one place where I would be safe, that allowed me to keep my innocence about the world. I returned to Tenrou Island.

Mavis groaned as she walked along the beach, remembering her time with Zera as tears formed. She was home, yet just like before, she felt nothing. Her hand went to her chest, feeling no heartbeat; now she was even less human, even more like him; this curse affected her, even separated her body. "Why," she said, "I just want this pain to end," she said as tears formed on her face as she let out another scream "damn this world," she shouted "damn" she screamed again "damn it, damn it" she shouted as she punched the ground.

"D...y.u...s...l...b..i..ve...fa...ies."

"shut up, get out of my head," Mavis whispered. "I want to be alone," she said again.

".o...o...til...elie...air..."

"I said leave me alone," Mavis shouted as another death wave spawned, killing everything around as she cried, falling to the ground. "Shut up, I don't care," she screamed again as the voice replied. "Go away, get away," she cried. Everything around her started to die. "I don't want to be rejected anymore," she says. "I hate you; I hate everything," she screamed. "Why won't you stop."

"Mavis"

Mavis stopped as she finally heard the voice as light shined in front of her. "who" she whispered as Zera appeared in front of her, covered in an orange flame. She smiled before vanishing. "wait, no, Zera, come back," she cried as she tried to run, only to fall over.

"D...y.u...s...l...b..i..ve...fa...ies."

"Zera," Mavis ran through the woods of Tenrou Island. "Please come back," she said as she tripped and fell to the ground, landing on her feet as she forced herself up, "Please," she said, remembering how her best friend died in her arms, "come back," she said as Zera stood in front of her "Zera."

"Do you still believe in fairies?"

"How are you still here," Mavis asked with tears in her eyes

"Do you still believe in fairies?"

"fairies," Mavis muttered. "I" She looked to the ground. "I"

"Mavis," Zera said again as she reached her hand out.

"Do you still believe in fairies?"

"I do," Mavis said as she tried to grab her hand, only for it to go through.

"then believe," was all she said as a bright light shined around her. "I am now the first fairy," she said. "When I died in your arms, and you cast the law spell, it allowed a small part of me to form inside of you," she said, "you once believed that you could turn dark magic into light." she smiled. "Use that knowledge to beat this curse."

"I can't lift this curse," Mavis shouted

"no," Zera's said, "but you can turn it into light."


[## Tenrou tree ost##]


"What" A bright light shined around Mavis as the area that had died around her started to grow with life flowers began to bloom, and even the animals that had started to die started to get up, going on as if they never died. "How."

"As I told you, my magic is now a part of you," Zera explained, "and now I am the light that still exists inside of you; by using this power, I can help you control the remnants of the curse attached to you."

"I," Mavis looked down. Zera was now gone as she looked around. "Zera," Mavis asked as she forced herself up. "Was that a dream," she asked. "As she looked at the Tenrou tree, "What are you trying to tell me," she cried as she looked down at the dark energy of her curse returning. "magic," Mavis whispered, "the abyss of sorcery" she smiled as she clenched her hands "there is only one thing I can do," she said

"and so I stared into the abyss, only going deep enough to full my research. Ultimately, I found the primordial magic I sought and began healing my new body. It took a year, but I realized the barrier that bonded me to the dark and turned it into the light. While I could never cure my curse, I could surpass it, and now, when it slips, I can make life grow though its dark nature will return."

"Mom look," a child said as Mavis walked through the streets; she came to the now officially named fairy pub she entered.

"hello, welcome," a lady said, "wait, Mavis."

"Mavis," Warrod shouted.

"your back," Yuri said as she ran to her, hugging her. "Where have you been," Yuri said. "We've been worried sick about you."

"it no matter," Mavis said. "The last time we saw each other, I said some things," she said, "hurtful things" She looked at her two friends. "I'm so sorry," she said with tears in her eyes. "You all have treated me so well."

"Mavis, you were scared," Warrod said.

"you should have told us," Yuri said. "we would have done everything in our power to help you."

"I know," Mavis said, "and next time, I will not make such a miscalculation," She said, "Now show me my original body."

"umm, sure," Warrod said as he led her to the basement.

"does anyone else know about it," Mavis asked.

"no," Warrod said.

"Good," Mavis said. "I want to keep it that way," as they entered the room. "what I'm about to do may be dangerous or worse, gain the ire of the magic council," she said. "It.

"Mavis, your back," Precht said as Mavis walked up to the lacrmia. "Mavis, what are you" She waved her hand, creating a magic circle as the dark cloud surrounding the lacrmia disappeared, showing her body again. "How did you," Precht said.

"Precht," Mavis said. "I want you to burn all the black magic books you got," she said. "I don't want to dive any further into black magic than we have," she explained. "It's not worth the risk it creates."

"but think of the potential Mavis," Precht argued. "magic power the likes of which we've never seen."

"This is life and death, Precht," Mavis said. "forces beyond mortal control," she said. "these are things not to be tampered with, or will you suffer my fate" she explained. "Or worse," she sighed. "Besides, we must honor Rita's last wish," she said. "By making Magnolia a place solo wizards can call home." she said, "and it will allow us to protect this," she said as the lacrmia glowed, changing shape.

"what is it," Yuri said.

"Something that would change the magic world as we know it," Mavis said. "Which is why it must remain hidden," she said. "No one must know of this place, " she said, "so we must make sure Magnolia stays the way it is no matter what."

"what is it" Precht as, "The magic power seems to be getting even stronger."

"Precht, you don't realize what you have created," Mavis said. "you and I stand on the cusp of something that never would have seemed possible," she said, "not in hundreds of years."

"eternal magic power"

"thirty years later, Precht and I would fully contain the fairy heart in the lacrmia, creating the fairy heart an endless wellspring of magic power; despite my warnings, Precht looked at the darkness and stared into the abyss, becoming master Hades, tearing our family apart; as Warrod would rise to the wizard saints leaving Magnolia behind in the hands of Makarov and his team which was dubbed the children of magnolia, as we made our vow not only to the city but to the protection of the fairy heart as well."

End Flashback

"And that's my story," Mavis said. "you all know how the rest played out."

"master," Mira whispered,

"so, wait," Lucy asked. "Fairy heart is eternal magic."

"in a way, yes," Mavis said. "As you know, Lucy, I have a uniquely high amount of magic power," she said. "This's largely due to not having a proper body," she said. "Thanks to the fairy heart, I can control the high amount," she said, "and my immortality allows me to handle such a strain."

"strain," Gray asked.

"having too much magic power can be deadly," Wendy said, "just like how wizards can get sick from not having enough magic power, the same can go in reverse," she said. "I like to refer to it as overloading," She said, "but seeing as Mavis' body is immortal."

"I physically can't feel the pain," Mavis said. "Even though I bleed, I can get injured, as you all saw on Tenrou Island, I will walk away from it just fine, though as I learned on Tenrou Island, even I have my limits," she sighed. "And thanks to the fairy heart and my study into Ankhseram black magic, I can control it to a certain degree." she said, "in short, the magic of fairy will never dry up."

"so you mean you can use it forever," Happy asked

"That's right," Mavis said

"I understand why you would want to keep something like that a secret," Riana muttered. "Magic power like that could change the very fabric of the wizarding world."

"right," Wendy muttered. "I remember Natsu once told me that Mavis's magic power could fire the etherion multiple times," she said. "if power like that was to fall into the wrong hands."

"yeah, kid, it would be bad, even worse if they got the source," Natsu said, "but with fairy heart, we could fire it infinite times." he explained, "fairy heart will never run out of magic power, no matter how big the strain."

"so why would Alvarez want something like that," Carla asked.

"My best guess," Mavis said, "would be that Zeref wants to utilize it in the battle against Acnologia," she said. "Even Zeref considers him too evil for this world.

"Acnologia," Gray asked. "I get that he's a force of nature, but is he that strong."

"But wait Mavis," Happy asked. "I'm sorry that this is a stupid question, but why don't we use fairy heart ourselves," he asked.

"No, Happy, that is an all-right question," Mavis said. "To be honest, I used fairy hear two years ago to allow the wizard to attack the FACES," she explained, "and I have considered using it when the time comes to confront Acnologia," she said, "but I am inexperienced with its power," she said "and only an immortal cursed by Ankhseram can even dream of utilizing it" she explained, "think of it like a balance between the light and dark that exist in magic, one must exist in a state beyond death or life to hope to control its massive power."

"so that means only Mavis and Zeref can use it effectively," Gray muttered.

"If fairy heart falls into the wrong hands," Mavis said. "There is no telling the destruction that it could bring upon the world," she said, "and I hate to think what Zeref will do with such power," she said.

"it doesn't change anything," Cana said. "It's your power, and I know you never wanted any of this to happen," she said.

"yeah," Laxus said, "You've always had the best intentions at heart, Mavis."

"not to mention you did it," Levy said. "You turned Magnolia into a place wizards like us can call home," she said. "And now it's our turn to fight to protect it."

"Yeah," the whole place cheered as Mavis smiled.

"it would seem their hearts are convinced, old friend," Warrod said.

"it's going to be a tough battle," Bickslow said. "I mean, even if we defeat Alvarez's army, isn't Zeref immortal," he asked.

"yes," Mavis said.

"don't worry about that part, you guys," Natsu said as his hand went to his right arm. "Cause we got another secret weapon."


[## those who serve the darkness##]


"Have I told you how you are the most triple A+ beauty of all, my Lady" Marin groveled? He was no tiny as Brandish had shrunk him down instead of killing him to get the fairy tail to run away. He screamed as Brandish slammed her foot on the ground.

"I would be even happier if you stopped groveling and finished this pedicure," Brandish said.

"of course, my lady," Marin said. "I will make sure you rival the gods," he said, "and you know, can you turn me back to normal" he smiled as the door opened, revealing Dimaria.

"so Randy," Dimaria teased.

"What, Maria" Branch groaned.

"I hear you let some troublemakers get away," Dimaria asked, "that can't be true, can it."

"I tried to tell her," Marin argued, "but she wouldn't listen," he said. "And Lady Dimaria, I must say you're an A+ as well."

"Can you fix him," Dimaria asked "he's like a cockroach that can talk," she said.

"I don't feel like it," Brandish said.

"do you ever feel like doing anything," Dimaria said. "The twelve have been summoned," she said as she left. "Your lucky should spare you the hassle of walking."

Marin frowned as Brandish slammed her foot on the ground. "I hate her," she said. "If you were smart, you'd say she was an F-" she growled as Marin gave a shy smile.

"Please don't crush me."


"secret weapon," Erza asked.

"Can you tell us anymore," Lucy asked.

"Well, then it wouldn't be a secret anymore," Natsu said.

"Why keep it secret, though," Meredy reasoned. "It's our best and only way to beat and kill Zeref."

"what is it," Anna asked.

"It's the last remnants of Igneel's power," Natsu said.

"Wait, what," Anna asked. "You tapped into it."

"Aye," Happy said. "It took him ten months to master it," he explained.

"yes," Carla said. "It was so powerful that we ended up sealing it off," Carla explained. "Out of all four, Natsu was the only one that was able to tap into this power."

"I can only do it once," Natsu explained, "so we all agreed that I should use it to take on Zeref" he explained "If I'm right, I should be able to burn right through his curse," he said "and end him once and for all."

"wait, so once he uses it, it's gone forever," Gray asked.

"no," Wendy said. "Natsu can use his power as a substitute for Igneel's," she explained" But it will be nowhere near as powerful," she said. "As it stands, the four of us are still mostly human," she said, "we have our limits to how much magic power we can use before we overload."

"without added power, we should be more than strong enough to stand up to Acnologia," he said.

"Not that it'll be an easy fight," Meredy said, "but it's our one shot that said" Meredy looked at everyone. "Doing these techniques takes it out of us, so hopefully, we can get a break between the two, so Natsu can recover."

"Still, I'd advise caution," Anna said with a bit of motherly concern. "We shouldn't rush in to face Zeref; there are a great many things we must attend to before I allow you all to face him."

"Like what," Wendy asked.

"E.N.D," Anna said. "We must retrieve that book and break the spell on it," she said. "Last I heard, Zeref appeared and stole his book."

"yeah," Natsu said, "sorry."

"It's alright," Anna said.

"What is so important about E.N.D," Lucy asked.

"wouldn't it be easier just to let me or Gray destroy it," Kinana asked. "Or better, won't he just die when Natsu beats Zeref."

"Zeref, much like your friend Mavis never doesn't;t have a strategy in mind," Anna said. "If anything, I want to ensure no more surprises," she explained. "As it stands, E.N.D is the most powerful demon Zeref created, and according to him, the only demon that can kill him," she said. "However, I also believe that Zeref has something else in mind, so first, I must dispel the seal that the four dragons of Ishgar placed on it," she smiled, "then I can let the two of you destroy the book."

"All right, sounds like a plan," Gray said, smiling. "I promised my father I would kill that demon."

"Trust me, I understand," Anna said. "You are going to need that determination to make sure that demon never tramples upon this land," she said. "Once E.N.D is gone, the four of you can begin your plan to stop Zeref," Anna said. "Not before," she said.

"But," Natsu started.

"Natsu" Anna shouted.

"yes, ma'am"

"And here I thought only Mavis could do that," Lucy laughed.

"Shut up," Natsu shouted at her.

"Mavis," Riana said, ignoring the two, "the spriggan twelve. Do you have any information on them?"

"yes," Mavis said. "During my two-year stay there, I was only able to meet five of them," she explained. "As it stands, they are probably the twelve most powerful wizards the world has ever seen," Mavis said, "even stronger than Master Hades," she said. "Each of the twelve is in charge of separate territories under Alvarez's control, similarly to our guild masters," she explained. "As such, it's rare for all twelve to be in one place," she said, "though this is the most spriggan that have been together since the last invasion in X781."


[##Fiore Kingdom at war ost##]


In Alvarez, Zeref sat at a table smiling. "I must say it has been a while," he said, "a whole seven." Zeref laughed. "I'm surprised so many of you made it."

"I believe Nienheart is somewhere in the castle," Yajeel said.

"That figures," Zeref said. "With the sudden notice, I'm just surprised this many made it."

"with respect, your majesty," Invel said, "not coming here is a big offense."

"First is Invel, the winter general," Mavis explained "he's Zeref's right-hand man and chief of state; based on his nickname, I can only assume he uses a powerful form of ice magic.

"calm down, Invel," Ajeel came in. "A small force would be better for this anyway."

"Ajeel, the desert king, he's the sand wizard we encountered during our escape." Mavis explained, "As you all saw, he is the most vicious of his fellow twelve and possesses powerful sand spells, and according to rumors, can create entire sandstorms."

"Now, as I'm sure you've all surmised," Zeref started. "I called this meeting so we may begin our invasion of Ishgar."

"What a hassle," Brandish muttered.

"Now, Brandish," Zeref laughed. "You shouldn't say such things," he said. "You did agree to follow me," he smiled.

"I know," Brandish said. "I was just saying how much of a bore it would be."

"The nation destroyer Brandish μ, according to what I was able to gather, has enough power to wipe entire countries off the map. She is also the youngest wizard to be promoted to the spriggan twelve."

"we encountered her on Caracoal Island," Erza said. "Her magic seems too able to alter mass itself," she said. "She shrunk the Island down to a mere paperweight."

"you know, Randi," Dimaria said, "the fact that you always speak your mind is why everyone hates you."

"oh yeah, well, I don't give a damn," Brandish shouted. "Cause I hate them."

"is that so," Dimaria said.

"Dimaria Yesta, the warrior queen, I have no idea what kind of magic she uses, but she is touted as a goddess on the battlefield, killing her enemies in the blink of an eye."

"tell me, god Serna," Zeref said. "Will destroying your homeland bring you pain," he asked as a man with medium-length, wavy, and spiked orange hair that juts out at the top in shape similar to rabbit ears; he has thick eyebrows and bears a scar over the bridge of his nose.

He is dressed in a fanciful white robe with long blue sleeves, a blue belt, and blue pants. His chest and neck are covered by a small red cloak with white colored edges, an oversized collar, and three yellow-colored crescent shapes lined up vertically on both sides over his chest. He also wears a simple pair of boots that reach below his knees. He was God Serena, the strongest member of the ten wizard saints.

"No," he shouted dramatically while doing several poses.

"jackass," Brandish muttered.

"why would one of the ten wizard saints join them," Lucy asked.

"It's hard to say," Laxus answered.

"we'll just have to ask when we get up close and personal," Gajeel laughed.

"you have any idea what kind of magic he uses," Gray asked.

"he's a drakon slayer," Meredy said, "and from what I hear, the strongest one yet," she said, "he's mastered and gained at least five elements."

"five," Natsu said, "we can barely handle two."

"Why do you know this," Carla asked.

"Why do you think" Meredy answered.

"Meredy," Juvia shouted.

"what"

"your majesty," August said. "There is no doubt in my mind that we are ready to battle in this final war of Ragnarok," he said.

"August, the wizard king, be especially cautious of this one; out of all the twelve, he is said to be the strongest member; people say his magic power is on a completely different level than the rest of the twelve; he has mastered every single magic spell every created" Mavis explained "it even possible that he knows more magic spells than Zeref himself," she said, "that is all the information I have on those five, as for the others there are three Nienheart, Bloodman and Wall."

"as I understand it, we're going after the original body of your lover," a man said. He resembled a tall, oddly shaped man with unnaturally long arms. With a rather big, oval-shaped face, small pointy ears, and glaring eyes with dark bags underneath them. Bearing a mischievous grin and seemingly having no nose. his hairstyle resembles an antenna; strands of its hair juts upwards, forming one thin mohawk at the top of the head, while the surrounding parts of hair are somewhat cut apart, shaping a distinctive pattern on both temples. Regarding clothing, he was wearing an ensemble consisting of a dark, high-collared open jacket with the sleeves slightly rolled up over a long, striped sweater and light-colored, tight-fitting jeans. The coat bears a symbol on both sides of the upper chest region, together resembling the wings of a bird. Around his neck, he adorns a necklace of various unspecified accessories placed in a particular order. In addition, to a camouflage-patterned scarf and round, leopard-print shoes. "how scandalous and sinful indeed."

"you misunderstand Wall," Zeref said. "For the fairy heart is magic," he said, "and that is not our only goal, for we must also wipe out Ishgar." he said, "Humanity must be wiped out," he said, "and the four dragons of Ishgar captured so we can use them to destroy Acnologia."

"then we must begin our strategy," Invel said.

"I have an idea," Ajeel shouted. "Let me do it all by myself," he said. "If the strongest wizard over there is on our side, those weaklings should be nothing."

"This will be an invasion, Ajeel," Zeref smiled. "As much faith as I have in your power, I like the idea of what an invasion would bring," he said. "it will show the world the might of Alvarez and bring in an era of darkness."

"I will return to the council," Riana said. "I must inform them of the coming invasion."

"Zeref will most likely strike us as quickly as possible," Mavis said. "If anything, it will be Ajeel, seeing as he's reckless of the bunch," she said. "the enemy we face is massive. Their forces number in the millions."

"I will do my best to sway the council to allow us guilds to enter this conflict," Riana said. "Hopefully, the king can shore up troops in time." she sighed. "I wish you luck, Mavis," Riana said. "Laxus Cosmos, let's go," she said

"right," the pair said as they followed

"same to you," Mavis said.

"Freed," Laxus said. "You and the others stay here and help out," Laxus said, "just in case."

"as you say, Laxus," Freed said, "we'll do our best. You just do your part and get the guilds permission to fight."
