Aisha's POV:

As I appeared in an area of Fiore, I looked around the landscape and realised I had no idea where I was. It was a picturesque field with sun rising over the hills, the weather here couldn't be anymore perfect. The sudden change in climate felt like heaven, I was finally out of that frozen hellhole they call Northern Fiore. That might've been the only thing I was certain of, after everything that happened I was glad I just had some time to take in my surroundings.

I walked along a dirt path and headed in a random direction. I used my sand to see if I could detect anyone I knew but nothing, I was truly in the middle of nowhere. I took my cigarettes and pulled out one, lighting it and putting it in my mouth. Had the circumstances been different I would've enjoyed a cigarette and a walk here. The only thing I could feel was an overwhelming sense of dread, the Empire was planning on betraying my family, I had killed Saadiya and I had no idea where any of the Fairy Tail team went. I was so focused on fighting Ailenor and Saadiya, I didn't pay attention to them. I hope Mira is okay.

I wasn't going to wander for hours on end to hope that I could find someone I knew, I had to move quickly and find Fairy Tail before they fought the Twelve again. I had to be there, I have to take my revenge against them for everything they've done to me, for everything they've done to Hijaara and for everything they've done to Saadiya. She may have betrayed me then, but she was guided by that frozen bastard Invel.

I summoned a sand harpy and climbed onto its back, as it prepared to fly. This would use up significantly less energy than my sand cloak, it wasn't as stealthy but I need as much energy as possible to fight whatever members of the Twelve I would have to.

The Harpy took flight and went far up into the air, allowing me the best possible aerial view. I tried to take a draw of my cigarette but with the wind I wasn't able to, I tossed it from the back and held on tightly as it flew through the clouds. My sand would be able to detect whoever I had met previously and I was praying it would be quickly, I have people to save and I have people to kill.

I desperately flew the harpy as fast as it could go, I knew the structure wouldn't hold forever but hopefully the magic power I had implanted inside it would carry me far enough.

We flew for miles but we hadn't found anything, the sun still hadn't fully arisen yet as it had only been a few minutes. That was until I detected a very faint scent on the wind, it was Makarov. I could sense where he is! I guided the harpy right and flew it as fast as I possibly could, I needed to link up with the Master and discuss the plan.

I flew down and back below the cloudline, using the downforce to go as quickly as possible. Just like Mira back in Crocus. Thinking back that, it made me happy. She had saved my life that night, she had saved me in many ways since I met her but that was just the most obvious way. If it comes to it, I will do the same for her.

Before I brought down the Harpy in the Fairy Tail enclave, I looked over the battlefield and saw the full army from Alkatasia. A million soldiers stood in front of the guild and its allies, even if I was to use Tenin I couldn't come close to wiping them out. I was going to die here, on this continent and on this battlefield. I would go out in a blaze of glory and I would take many of those bastards out with me.

I brought down the harpy in the enclave and immediately turned it back to sand, many of the guild wizards were here but I couldn't see Mira here and I couldn't even sense her presence. That made me worried, she has potentially met one of the Twelve and depending on who she met she could be dead or anything. I swallowed the lump in my throat and made my way to Master Makarov who surveyed the battlefield as the gathered mages rushed around trying to get everything ready for the final push.

"Master, what is the situation here?" I stood next to him looking over at the seemingly insurmountable tide of Alvarez soldiers.

"Aisha it is good that you are here, how did the battle in the North go?" Makarov turned around to face me and his eyes went wide. "You're covered in blood, are you ok my child?"

I looked down at myself and for the first time I noticed my clothes, the few splatters of blood I had on my robes were now replaced with a deep crimson coat. I was completely drenched in the blood of Ailenor and Saadiya, my once black robes almost completely red. "It's not mine." I spoke plainly, trying not to think about my former lover's blood covering me.

Makarov looked at me with an uneasy stare, but he nodded realising that the fighting was brutal. "Nevermind, how did the battle go in the North? You are the first to make it back currently, I have no idea where Gajeel or any of the team I sent to you are.

I closed my eyes and tried to control my breathing. I was worried sick about Mira and the rest of the team, I loved her and her family. Lisanna and Elfman had made me feel welcome when I got here and they invited me into their home. Elfman might've been the only person aside from Makarov who understood what I had done but hadn't judged me for it. It does make sense after what the master told me, about what happened when Tartaros attacked the guild.

"The battle started off horribly, we were delayed by poor weather and when we reached the battle we found Blue Pegasus and Sabertooth crucified. We rescued them and the mages from the guild took them and got them back to health, me and my squad went into the battle and killed hundreds if not thousands. We had a few leaders to fight but I haven't come across any of the Twelve so far, I lost track of the other mages during the battle." I pulled down my mask and tossed it to the side, letting the air hit my face for the first time in days. I was covered in sweat, blood and tears.

"I see, I hope they are all ok. We haven't lost any of our family yet and I don't intend for that to change. That includes you Aisha, I can see that look in your eye. I have seen enough people sacrifice themselves over the years to identify it, someone as young as you shouldn't have to make that decision." Makarov looked at me sternly, he really did understand me. He might have not known about my real reason for joining Fairy Tail but about my feelings he always seemed to know.

"After everything I've done I really don't think that I could join the guild again, I have caused so many problems and don't forget I was a spy. I wouldn't want to be an unwelcome presence for the guild. I will not throw away my life for nothing, if I am to die here in this battle then it will be to win this war." I put my hands between my back trying to stop myself from fidgeting.

"That no longer matters Aisha, you have fought alongside when it counts. Judging from how you look and what you're saying you've done more than enough to earn the right to rejoin the guild. I will have you back in the guild, you are part of my family and I will not let you go down the path of sacrificing yourself." Makarov looked up at me and for the first time since meeting him I saw tears welling up in his eyes, he truly meant what he said.

"Thank you master, I will make my decision after the fighting is done. I need to prove to everyone here where my loyalties lie and I will do that by destroying this rotten Empire and their army." I put my hand in the air and made the Fairy Tail salute, I will not ever forget the trust you have put in me master. After everything I have done I will pay this back to the guild, Fairy Tail will have its pound of flesh from me with interest.

Before the master could reply a frenzied Max ran towards us. "Master it's Mirajane" She's been wounded badly! One of the Twelve hit her with some sort of spell and Warren just received the information, they're bringing her here now!"

"Where is Porlyusica?! We need to get her right now! Bring her up here and we'll save her!" The Master went straight over to Warren with Max and tried to coordinate someone so they could save her.

I felt my whole world come crashing down, I've lost everything in this world I care about. Mira was going to die, Saadiya was dead. I had nothing in this world that binds me, my family would hate me. It would be a cruel turn of fate if I was to be killed by Ajeel, if I do face him I will allow him to put me out of my misery.

I stepped out of the enclave and out onto the cliff face and raised my hands, I will stand toe to toe with this entire army, the Spriggan Twelve and even the Emperor. I will not show any mercy here, I simply couldn't. This was for Mira.
