At Tenroujima, Natsu laid unconscious on the ground as he is surrounded by Elfman and Evergreen.
"hey, Natsu! Wake up!" shouted Elfman to Natsu who stirred and slowly opened his eyes. Natsu grunted as he sat up while holding his head with his left hand.
"what…happened?" said Natsu as the last thing he remembered was creating a flaming wall to protect him and the others behind from the black mist wave that came from the stranger.
"we all got knocked out for some reason" explained Elfman before he looks forward and gulped down his throat a bit. "and nearly half a mile of nature around us are dead black"
Natsu looks confused to what he meant as he soon understood when he looks around and sees that everything is charred black with nothing alive nearby.
"I had a sense that the mist of the stranger was dangerous" said Natsu with a surprised look. "but for it to be this dangerous"
"yeah, and that guy is gone too" said Ever, seeing that the man who caused the death is gone from sight. "when we came to, he's just gone. Who was that guy?"
"Whoever it was, he's not someone who can just stumble on Tenroujima by coincidence," said Natsu while standing up. "this place can't be found by magic or any normal method after all"
"yeah, that guy must be after something in Tenroujima" said Elfman turning towards Natsu and he instantly made a gasp sound. "h-hey, Natsu!...your right hand!"
Ever gasped as well as Natsu looks confused before he looks down on his right hand and his eyes widen to see that his right hand had turned into a black demonic claw with sharp nails. The black claw looks monstrous and its color spread to his forearm.
"w-what happened to it?!" said Ever, thinking that Natsu got a disease or something.
Natsu looks at his right hand before he sees that the demonic features are slowly regressing back to a normal human hand.
"we'll worry about my hand later" said Natsu as he looks around. "you two continue your part of the exam while I try to find that guy. He's not someone who should be here at all"
"you sure?" said Elfman as Natsu nodded before he heard some noises from a distance and made a bolt for it.
"h-hey! Wait!" exclaimed Ever as Natsu just went to the direction of the sound.
"should we follow?" asked Elfman "the exam won't go well if we have some trespassing guy here"
"maybe? But Natsu should be able to find and handle him, right?" asked Ever while having a bit of a worried look.
Meanwhile upon Grimoire Heart flying airship.
"it is time for us to awaken Zeref" said Hades while clenching his fist.
"However, it appears there is a small problem" said Ultear as she holds up her crystal orb and it showed the image of the Fairy Tail Guild "The strongest guild in Fiore, Fairy Tail, is now present on the land Zeref resides in. They are a fearsome adversary, one capable of destroying a corner of the Baram Alliance. The confrontation may harvest casualties on both sides."
"You're giving them too much credit, Miss Ultear." threw in someone from the line.
Ultear looked to her right, her eyes landing on a young man with long, spiky blond hair, a condescending smirk glued to his face. "Even if they did manage to take care of those weaklings, they are nothing when compared to us. If they try to do anything funny with us around..."
The man licked his lips, black flames forming around his body. "I'll just burn them to a crisp. I've always wondered what does a burned fairy smell like, I can hardly contain the excitement."
"This carelessness will one day be the cause of your downfall, Zancrow." said a tall humanoid goat. He was wearing a suit, with black sunglasses sitting on the bridge of his nose.
Zancrow extinguished his flames and looked at his comrade. "You say that, but you're looking highly confident as well, Caprico."
"That is because I was born ready for this day. Confidence and carelessness are two different things."
"Aren't you just being stiff?" asked Zancrow and playfully smacked his stomach with the back of his hand. "There is nothing wrong in a little bit of danger. The thrill of almost being killed in battle is what makes it feel so good."
"Caprico is right, Zancrow." said a young man with silver hair styled into a pompadour, with square glasses on his nose. "You are being not only careless, but vulgar as well. You lack the ability to realise how marvelous and refined this day truly is. It is the day our guild faces its biggest obstacle, and overcomes it in the most beautiful fashion. We shall release our desires and reach Nirvana."
Zancrow frowned. "Now you're just being creepy, man."
"Your jealousy does not reach my ears."
"I'm not jealous."
Next to them was a giant man with pale skin and a face too small for the size of his head. He was breathing very quickly and loudly, his eyes bloodshot. "I..." he wheezed out. "Ifeelthesame!"
"You're talking too fast, Kain!" yelled Zancrow.
"Should I translate?" asked a young girl with pink, short hair. She was wearing a helmet in the shape of wings placed on both sides of her face, as well as a red cape hanging over her pinkish-black battle suit.
"That won't be necessary." said Ultear. "Are you planning on fighting as well, Meredy?"
Meredy nodded. "Yes. Fight. I will fight."
Hades laughed gently at the eagerness of his subordinates and stood up from his throne, clapping. "Interesting! Truly interesting! They have yet to experience true darkness, for the absolute darkness lurks in the abyss. Today, we shall drag them down into this very abyss. Today, demons and fairies will squabble - eat and be proud, be eaten and scatter! Show me your worth, my Seven Kin of Purgatory!"
The Kin all stood up straight and bowed to their master. "Yes, Master!" they chanted, some of them barely able to contain their excitement.
Hades smirked and looked out the window. "This is the decisive battle, Fairy Tail."
At Tenroujima in a forest, Lucy stared at the sky as she tried to think of the place to find the first master's grave but she dropped her head low and sighed tiredly.
"Figured out anything?" asked her Cana, also tired from thinking.
"How are we supposed to find anything without a single hint?" said Lucy before sighing "I have absolutely no idea what to do."
Cana covered her lips with her fingers and wondered for a moment. "Maybe that's the problem?" she asked after a while.
Lucy blinked. "What do you mean?"
"Do we really have no clues?" continued Cana. "I've participated in this exam many times now, so it's just a hunch, but all of the tests I've taken were rational and made sense once given a thought. There has to be a hidden clue somewhere, we've just yet to see it."
"So, you're suggesting that this exam is not all about luck, but intelligence as well?"
"Exactly."
Lucy frowned. "Maybe it's supposed to be some sort of a puzzle, with words used as elements?"
"Words?" laughed Cana. "Well, we are searching for a grave, so maybe stuff related to death? Death, end of the line, funeral, coffin, tragedy? Demise?"
"Did you really have to use such grim terms?" shuddered Lucy, making Cana send her a teaseful grin.
"Yeah, I guess your analogies would be better. When people die, they turn into stars and all that."
Suddenly, Lucy's eyes widened. "That's it." she whispered in disbelief. She then beamed and jumped up. "I know where the grave is!" she exclaimed happily and grabbed Cana's hand, dragging her into the trees.
"I have no idea how you've managed to figure anything out from this gibberish, but as expected! You rock, Lucy!" cheered Cana with her free hand.
As the girls vanished behind the trees, Gray and Loke peeked out from behind nearby bushes, sinister smirks glued to their faces.
"I told you following them would pay off." said Gray, proud of himself. "Levy might be book smart, but when it comes to weird stuff like this, Lucy is the queen."
"And here I thought I couldn't fall for her more than I already have." sighed Loke with misty eyes.
Gray ignored him. "I knew it - this exam was all about intelligence, greed and-"
"Backstabbing our guildmates in the back?" Loke finished his thought in amusement.
"Yup." nodded shamelessly Gray. "Come on, let's follow them." he stood up and carefully followed the pair, with amused Loke following him in suit before feeling a rumbling sensation coming from the ground
"what was that?" Loke whispered to Gray who has no clue
At some part of the island, Levy is covering her ears as she is getting constant whining by Gajeel who is angry because he never got any action in the start of the exam.
"First they let us pass for free, now they're telling us to find a grave...What the hell is wrong with this exam?!" yelled irritated Gajeel. "And most of all..." He changed his right hand into an iron club and struck a giant snake that had just appeared before them, knocking it out instantly. "What is the deal with these stupid animals! What is this place, a zoo?!"
"Maybe if you stopped shouting all the time, nothing would have found us!" said Levy as Gajeel is the one calling the animals in.
"I can't help it!" growled Gajeel. "All I wanted was to clobber Salamander and Titania! But instead, I had to pick a path, and now we have to walk around this island looking for a grave!"
"So you don't care about me?! All you want to do is fight?" said Levy while glaring at him with the best she could.
"I never said that." Said Gajeel
"But that's how you act!" retorted Levy while looking annoyed "why did I even partner with this guy?!"
Levy feeling rather tired and annoyed, started to walk through the bushes while huffing.
"where are you going?" said Gajeel while crossing his arms.
"private" said Levy while huffing as she is tired of constantly hearing Gajeel's whining that she needed some peace and quiet to think up on where the First Master's Grave is at.
Levy stops in her place as she thought of why Gajeel wanted to help her as this made her sighed tiredly and turned around to go back. But before she could walk away, she heard movement in the bushes, and looked back, curious.
"Gajeel?" she called out, thinking it may have been her partner following her.
Two giant figures jumped out of the bushes. One of them was a humanoid dog clad in a samurai armor and a kabuto helmet, a katana readied by his left hip. The other, taller, resembled a chicken, a black robe covering his body.
Before Levy could register anything, she spotted a blade right in front of her eye. With reflexes she'd never suspect herself of being capable of, Levy leaned back just in time to avoid a fatal strike. She fell onto her bottom, her headband splitting in two, with a small cut opening on her forehead.
"Wha...Who are you?!" she questioned while on the ground.
The chicken forcefully took a hold of both of her arms and brought them above her head, pinning her to the ground. The dog walked up to her and raised his blade above his head, ready to deal the decisive blow.
"You're first." he muttered and brought the blade down.
Levy closed her eyes, subconsciously accepting her fate. However, the blow did not come. Instead, her ears picked up the sounds of two pieces of metal clanking against each other, a dull impact and a grunt of pain, with something warm falling onto her face.
The Script mage opened her eyes and they widen in surprise while filling up with tears as in front of
The chicken flew backwards, and with his right hand now free, Gajeel could use it to strike the dog. He struck with his club, which the creature ducked under and jumped back on his own, receiving no damage.
"Looking for someone as small as you in this jungle is quite troublesome." said Gajeel, his eyes sharp and focused on his opponent. "So don't you leave my side ever again."
"Okay." Said Levy with a relieved smile as she stood up and placed her back against Gajeel's, her attention now focused on the bird.
"So? Who are we dealing with? Did Gramps place these guys in here to make the exam tougher?"
Levy shook her head. "I doubt that. Judging by this mark...they are probably from Grimoire Heart, the strongest dark guild in Fiore. But why would they be here?"
"If they haven't been invited, then they must have come on their own. I guess wherever there's work, there are accidents as well." smirked Gajeel. "If you ask me, stuff like this should be handled by those considered to be S-Class rather easily. Otherwise, this exam would have no purpose."
"But this is Grimoire Heart! One of the corners of Baram Alliance!" reminded him Levy.
"If I can't get over something this small, then I am not suited for the rank. That's all there is to it. Same with the others."
"We can't just attack them without a warning!"
The dog swiped his sword to the side and laughed mockingly at the girl's words. "See, this is why I keep telling you official guilds are pathetic, Kawazu! Rules, morality, they're all worth shit when you're about to die!"
Kawazu chuckled. "As if rules applied to war! How ridiculous!"
Gajeel's eyes narrowed. "War?"
"What is your goal?!" asked Levy, trying to buy some time.
The dog grinned in a sinister fashion and raised his blade above his head. "To exterminate all fairies from this world!" he roared and swiped down.
A giant sign with foreign characters formed in front of him. Along with it, a horrible, painful sound echoed throughout the area, causing Gajeel and Levy to cover their ears in pain. because of his enhanced senses, Gajeel suffered immeasurably, his head splitting in two.
"My...My ears!" cried out Levy.
"Sounds from words?!" roared Gajeel. "This is the same magic as yours!"
Levy opened her eyes and took the sight in, dots connecting in her brain. "It's Solid Script from Orient!"
Using the distraction to his favor, Kawazu kicked the ground and dashed at the pair.
"Gajeel! Behind us!" alarmed Levy to no avail. He was completely overpowered by the sound and failed to spot her warning. Seeing that it was pointless to talk to him, Levy grabbed him by his jacket and dragged him down to the ground, both of them evading Kawazu, as he slashed at them with his sharp claws.
Finally seeing the enemy, Gajeel quickly stood up and braced himself.
The chicken puffed out his chest in a fashion similar to his Roar and jumped upwards.
"EGG BUSTER!"
He spat out dozens of eggs, which flew in the pair's direction at incredible speed. Discarding his initial shock of the individual's magic, Gajeel quickly hardened his body in iron scales and blocked majority of the eggs. Two of them managed to pass right by him and struck Levy in her torso, making her gasp for air.
"Levy!" called out worried Gajeel.
He didn't get a chance to check up on her. With the corner of his eye he spotted something above him, so he quickly grabbed her and jumped back, avoiding the dog's slash at the last possible moment. The samurai did not let go and followed the Dragon Slayer, his blade readied by his right hip.
"Because of this ruckus I can't even hear his footsteps!" growled Gajeel in his mind and ducked in order to avoid a stab aimed at his head. He grabbed the blade with his left hand and turned his right one into a club. Pulling the blade towards his figure, Gajeel used the momentum to strike the dog in the abdomen. He managed to raise his left leg just in time to block the blow with his knee. Feeling that holding the blade for longer than necessary could end up badly, the Dragon Slayer let go of the weapon, which allowed his opponent to jump back.
Kawazu jumped upwards once again, readying another wave of eggs. In the meantime, Levy managed to get a hold of herself and write her own set of scripts.
"SOLID SCRIPT: SILENCE!"
Her words made contact with their oriental counterpart, shattering them into pieces. Silence fell in the area, shocking all three males, with Kawazu failing to deliver his attack.
"The sound is back to normal." whispered Gajeel, before curving his lips into a sinister smirk.
"You canceled out my words?! You bitch!" roared the dog, turning his attention to Levy.
"IRON DRAGON'S HARD FIST!"
His plans were ruined by Gajeel, who planted his hardened fist deep into his gut, making him cough up saliva.
"Yomazu!" called out his partner and puffed out his chest.
"EGG BUSTER!"
The eggs flew in Levy's direction, meant to catch her off guard, however this time, she was prepared.
"SOLID SCRIPT: FIRE!"
The eggs were taken by flames shaped into a word, all of them turning into ashes, much to their owner's shock.
"How dare you!" roared Yomazu and headbutted Gajeel, before jumping back. He put his sword at hip level and slashes horizontally, however this time, his range was much different. Gajeel was forced to lean back as hard as he could to avoid being cut in half, the trees behind him showing him his possible fate.
Yomazu regained his posture and struck once again, this time at an angle. Unable to dodge properly, Gajeel blocked it with his right arm, his forearm splitting in the process along with his scales.
In the meantime, Levy tried to deal with Kawazu's constant waves of eggs, which kept increasing in numbers. Unable to burn them all, she helplessly put up her arms to protect herself, as multiple projectiles struck her at once, dull pain spreading all over her body.
"Levy!" called out Gajeel and tried to run up to her.
"Are you in any position to look away?!" yelled Yomazu and slashes vertically at the Dragon Slayer, who sidestepped to his right and kicked the ground as hard as he could.
"Out of the way!" he roared and struck the dog in the face, breaking his nose in the process. This caused him to fly backwards, as he slid on the ground, using his plunged into the ground sword to slow himself down.
Yomazu breathed heavily and pulled the blade out, before raising it up to right side of his face. "You seem to be distracted by something. Allow me to take care of it."
It took Gajeel a second to realise that the blade was not aimed at him. In despair he kicked the ground as hard as he could and ran towards Levy, the flying sword strike moving in slow motion in her direction.
Gajeel managed to get in front of her just in time to change the trajectory of the attack and feel it pierce his left side, as it came out on the other side, missing Levy completely. He grit his teeth in pain and fell onto his right knee, finding it hard to catch a breath, his iron scales falling off his skin.
"Gajeel!" called out Levy and ran up to him despite her injuries.
"Is that all you've got, Fairy Tail?" asked Yomazu and relaxed his posture, with Kawazu walking up to him. "Pathetic. At this rate, we will take care of you lot before the main squad appears."
Gajeel clenched his fist on the ground, grass trapped in his fist. "Main squad, you say?" he asked in-between his heavy breaths.
"Exactly that. The entirety of Grimoire Heart is on their way as we speak." confirmed the samurai.
"then that means…Tenroujima will be.." said Levy as the thought of a full on war between Grimoire Heart and Fairy Tail went into her mind.
"time for you both to tie!" said Yowazu as he prepared his katana and lunged it straight at Gajeel before the blade of the sword got caught between two fingers. "what!?"
"hey" said a voice as Yowazu looks up and was met with a powerful flaming punch to the face that made him let go of his katana before getting sent flying away to the trees.
"Yowazu!" exclaimed Kawazu who got his neck grabbed by a hand and got lifted up.
Levy and Gajeel looks at who came as they see someone who made them feel relieved.
"Natsu.." muttered Levy as Natsu came and saved the two on time.
"your partner has a nice katana" said Natsu as he holds Yowazu's katana in his right hand and is checking its sharpness before looking at Kawazu with his eyes glowing red. "mind if I test it's sharpness on you?"
Kawazu gulped before the chicken man let out a rooster call and feathers flies into the air.
Erza with Juvia were walking around in the forest before they run in with Elfman and Evergreen.
"Elfman, and Evergreen" said Erza, seeing the two.
"Erza! Just someone we are trying to look for!" said Evergreen with a relieved face.
"what's wrong?" asked Juvia seeing how Elfman and Evergreen are behaving.
"listen! There's someone on the island and he used some weird black magic that killed the nature!" said Elfman to Erza.
"wait, hold on, explain it to me slowly" said Erza before everyone heard a loud rooster call and then felt the ground shaking.
"what was that?!" Evergreen exclaimed in surprise.
"look!" exclaimed Juvia while pointing to the sky as she sees a black roasted chicken man flying in the air before falling to the ground.
"what was that?" said Erza with a hardened look.
Erza with Juvia, Elfman, and Evergreen ran to where the roasted chicken man fall to as they find Natsu with Gajeel and Levy, the Fire Dragon Slayer tending to the two's wounds.
"what happened here?!" said Erza seeing how badly injured Gajeel and Levy are before she turns and sees Kawazu and Yowazu.
"there is no time to explain" said Natsu while standing up. "prepare a flare, there are enemies coming!"
"what?" said Erza in surprise.
In the middle of the island, Lucy and Cana stared into the sky as they see a signal flare flying in the air.
"enemy on the island?" said Cana with a surprised look.
"wait, enemy!?" said Lucy, not knowing of such thing
Gray and Loke, who've been tailing the pair for quite a while now looked at each other and nodded, before coming out from the bushes.
"Yo." greeted them Gray, his right hand raised.
Lucy blinked in confusion. "Gray? What are you doing here?"
"Pure coincidence," he replied quickly. "But it's a good thing we met you. There are enemies on the island, best to stay together."
"Let's head to the emergency meeting spot. We have to get fill in on what's going on here." added Loke.
Lucy and Cana nodded before the four started running to where the base camp is at.
Back at where Natsu and the others are at.
Elfman carried Gajeel and Levy on his back as both were unconscious and tired while Natsu, Erza, and Juvia were interrogating Yowazu who is conscious even with a bloody nosed face.
"Zeref. Our goal is Black Wizard, Zeref." said weakly Yowazu as Natsu threatens the dog man with his own katana. "He's on this island."
"What did you say?" asked him shocked Erza. "How is that even possible?!"
"Zeref..." wondered Juvia out loud. "As in that legendary black mage who lived hundred years ago?"
Natsu squinted his eyes as his mind went back to the mysterious man who used the dangerous death magic.
"400, to be precise." Said Yowazu
"There's no way he could be alive! I mean..." denied Erza.
"He lives." confirmed the dark mage. "And he has lived for 400 years. According to Master Hades, he's been merely in the state of "slumber"."
"I can't believe this..." Erza pinched the bridge of her nose.
"When Zeref wakes up, this world will be submerged in complete darkness." continued Yowazu with a smirk.
Erza opened her eyes and looked at him dangerously. "Are you planning on causing chaos on this sacred land? Despite the Fairy Protection granted by the Tenrou Tree?"
"Exactly that. The main army of Grimoire Heart under the direct command of Master Hades is approaching this place as we speak. I would not underestimate the Seven Kin of Purgatory if I were you!" he laughed. "Ultear, Rustyrose, Caprico, Kain Hikaru, Zancrow, Meredy. They are all coming here!"
"Wait a second." Juvia's eyes widened after listening to his threats. "You said there is seven of them, but you've mentioned only six names."
Yowazu merely grins before stating "The last one is already on this island."
This got everyone alerted to know that they don't have just a few regular dark mages on their own island.
"I'll head there, while the rest of you warn the others!" said Natsu before he knocks Yowazu and made the dog man unconscious then bolts straight to the forest.
"wait! Natsu!" exclaimed Erza but the man was already gone.
Lily and Charla flew over the coast, searching for Mest and Wendy. Their already bad feeling has been fed by the flare shot out by Erza couple minutes prior, which Lily recognized as a signal of approaching enemies, mostly by its colour that has been used by the Edolas army.
"Can't things just stay quiet for once?! How did they even get here?" wondered Charla out loud, her patience wearing thin. She already has enough of this exam.
"It is possible they sneaked in on the same ship as we did." noted Lily.
After couple more minutes of flying, the pair of Exceeds spotted the man in question, who was standing on the edge of a cliff, staring into the vast ocean with Wendy who was preoccupied in picking flowers.
"Wendy!" called out Charla, catching the girl's attention.
"Lily? Charla? What are you two doing here?" Wendy said
"We've been looking for you." answered the tabby after stopping to meet him at eye level, Lily beside her. "But more importantly, have you seen the signal?"
Mest blinked in confusion. "What signal? I haven't seen anything."
Lily's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Just who the hell are you?"
Now the man was completely lost. "What do you mean, who am I….I'm Mest, Mystogan's disciple-"
Before he could even react, Mest felt a giant fist fly by his right cheek, as it smashed into the rock placed behind him. He stared with eyes wide open, taking the sight of an enraged Lily, now in his true, battle form.
"If this is a poor attempt of a joke, then I suggest you drop it immediately." snarled the Exceed. "The Prince would never take a disciple in this world, not while carrying out his mission. I do applaud you for using someone who is no longer in this world – a smart move. But you've made a terrible mistake in your setup, Mest. If that even is your real name."
Cold sweat ran down his face. "I...I don't know what you're talking about!" the man tried to defend himself.
Charla floated in front of Wendy as she was defending her
"You can probably use magic that allows you to alter memories of other people. You cast it on other members and then pretended to be one of them. However, even without the bit about the Prince, your story is almost as full of holes as a wheel of cheese. Starting with the fact, that you've been absent from the guild for months, and you did not even bother to put the new members under you control after reappearing. Me included. You probably never even suspected someone could doubt you."
"On top of that" continued Lily. "you appear to not even know what the signal sent out earlier means. Tell me the truth. While you still can."
Mest's face change as he disappeared, "teleportation magic?!" Lily exclaimed
Mest appeared in front of Charla and Wendy as he pulls them down from an explosion.
"An attack? What is going on in here?!" wondered out loud Lily.
Charla stared at Mest, shocked. "he guarded us!?"
"Who are you?! Show yourself!" demanded Mest.
Suddenly, the tree started to shake, with something that resembled a man shaping out of it, his face growing out of the trunk.
"Well done finding me." he praised, as he continued to grow out of the tree.
"A person is growing out of the tree?!" questioned Charla, having never seen such absurd in her life
"Who are you?!" Lily repeated Mest's earlier question. He sensed tremendous magic from the man, who was more than likely an enemy.
"My name is Azuma." stated the man, his head now out of the tree. "One of the Seven Kin of Purgatory."
"Grimoire Heart?" repeated Lily in confusion.
"One of the dark guilds." explained Charla.
"I see." Mest's eyes narrowed. "So the previous signal was to announce an enemy attack."
"And, as you can see, it was launched slightly too late." Said Azuma while coming out of the tree
Mest started to chuckle to himself nervously. "Of course...I should have expected, that if I infiltrated Fairy Tail's Holy Land, then a few questionable things would have popped out." He then covered his face with his palm, his body now slightly shaking. "But Grimoire Heart on top of Black Wizard Zeref?! Give me a damn break..."
"Just who the hell are you?" questioned him Charla.
Mest turned around and looked at the cat, a nervous grin on his face. "Haven't you realised it yet? I'm with the Council. I've been put in here to find evidence good enough to take Fairy Tail out for good."
"Oh?" hummed Azuma from his tree, clearly intrigued by the confession.
"But it looks like my mission has failed. Time for a change of plans." grinned Mest and looked at the ocean once again with a confident look.
The Exceeds and Azuma looked in that direction as well. On the horizon, there was a giant ship approaching the island, with the Council's sigil on its sails.
"To think a guild with an unknown location such as yourself would come directly into my trap. It must be my lucky day!" exclaimed Mest. "This battleship was originally intended to carry the members of Fairy Tail after I've found them guilty, but it will do just fine for you demons! I am taking you all under arrest!"
Azuma slowly directed his gaze back onto Mest. He was now completely out of the tree, his arms crossed on his chest. He was standing perpendicularly on the trunk. "Battleship?" he questioned. "Are you talking about that?"
Suddenly, the ship blew up, a massive explosion swallowing it in a matter of a second. Pieces of scorched wood, metal and bodies flew up in the air, with a giant mushroom of fire and smoke expanding on the surface of the water, shocking the other three. They were speechless.
Azuma scoffed and jumped down, his feet now fully on the ground.
"Now then, Mister Official." he said as he cracked his neck. "Would you mind if I began my job now?"
Lily quickly ran up ahead of the two and put up his guard, awaiting an attack.
meanwhile at Mavis Vermillion's Grave, Makarov stared at the grave with guilt-filled eyes, before closing them.
"First Master, Mavis Vermillion..." he uttered quietly. He then bowed down. "Please forgive me. I have invited enemies onto this holy land. Words cannot express how disappointed you must be at this moment. I take full responsibility."
He straightened himself up and opened his eyes. "I absolutely accept any form of punishment you wish to inflict upon me. Therefore, please...protect these kids from harm."
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
