CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: FANTASIA

Porlyusica is returning home after having basically revived Master Makarov. She hears the citzens of Magnolia talk about the recent events, and scoffs at the idea of Laxus being the Guild Master.

"Thanks to Porlyusica, it seems his life has been saved for now. Worry not. The Master is safe." Erza gives the good news to the guild as they cheer on.

"Thank goodness! I didn't know what was going to happen for a little while there." Lucy sighs of relief.

"The old man isn't gonna kick the bucket so easily!" Gray said.

"But the Master is quite old. Stressing his heart more will only make his health worse. Don't forget that, everyone." Erza stated.

"Aye, sir!" The entire guild agrees with her.

"But are we really doing the Fantasia under these conditions?" Lucy asked.

"It's what the Master wants. It's precisely at times like this we should do it." Mira replied.

"Juvia is also looking forward to seeing the Fantasia!" Juvia is filled with excitement.

Cana slides next to Juvia. "You'll be participating."

"There you have it!" Macao and Wakaba come in the picture.

"But... Juvia just joined..." Juvia stands in front of the wall, twirling her finger against it.

"Is she troubled or happy about it?" Wakaba asked.

"Which one is it?" Macao added.

"She's so cute..." Cana drinks her booze.

"Well, we do have a lot of injured people." Happy stated. "The rule is: anyone who can still move has to participate."

"Then I guess I'll participate too!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Are you happy about it or not?" Gray asked. "Looks like those guys can't participate, though." He points to Natsu and Aira wrapped in bandages all around their bodies.

"No kidding." Lucy said.

"I don't wanna hear that from you." Aira scoffed. Natsu mumbles something under the bandages covering his mouth.

"I have no idea what you're saying." Lucy commented.

"I doubt it's anything important." Happy added.

"Not a chance. No way you can participate, trash." Aira said. Natsu gets irritated and mumbles something at him. Surprisingly, Aira can understand him. "What does that have to do with it?! Are you some demon?!"

"I wonder how he can understand him?" Lucy asked.

"I seriously doubt it's anything important." Happy repeated.

"Sometimes your cold-hearted feelings scare me!" Lucy said as Mira giggles at them.

"But with this, we've fixed one of the problems in the guild." Erza softly smiles to herself.

Laxus enters the guild, surprising everybody. They all give him dirty looks, glaring at him for what he has done to everybody. "Where's the old man?"

"No matter how much you hang your head, you think we'll let you see the Master?!" Droy argues as everybody else agrees.

"Will you cease this?! He's inside the infirmary." Erza replied. Laxus walks past Erza, heading to the Master.

Natsu blocks the way, mumbling at Laxus. He shoots a glare at Laxus as he points a finger at him, saying stuff that nobody can understand.

"Some interpretation, if you please?" Lucy asked.

"This time was two against one, so I ain't satisfied. Aira interrutped and I ain't going to lose next time. I'll fight you anytime, Laxus! He said." Aira translated.

"But I thought you won?" Lucy asked.

"I wouldn't call that winning either." Aira replied. "I believe I just got lucky."

Laxus doesn't pay much attention to Natsu, walking past him. Natsu gets irritated, mumbling something under the bandages. As Laxus leaves, he waves at him, and everyone is surprised at this.

"Okay, it's time for everyone to get ready for the Fantasia!" Erza exclaimed.

Laxus and Master Makarov meet. Master Makarov lectures him on the true meaning of a Guild and scolds him for his actions. Master Makarov also adds that he never wanted Laxus to be someone strong or looked up to. He just wanted him to be happy and healthy. Laxus, guilty of the crimes of endangering his guildmates, is excommunicated from the Guild. Laxus understands and leaves, but not before telling a broken up and sobbing Master Makarov to take care of himself.

He later informs the Raijin Tribe of this. They offer to leave the Guild with him but in the end are willed to stay by Laxus.

Elsewhere, Ultear is talking to someone whom she identifies as Master Hades. They talk about Jellal's manipulation, and Master Hades states that because of Ultear, they achieved in getting one of the keys to a seal. Ultear congratulates Master Hades and then Jellal is shown, deep in the seas, unconscious.

The Fantasia Parade begins. Colorful fireworks light up the dark sky, everybody on the sidelines cheer in excitement as they watch the parade.

Cana, Wakaba, and Macao use their magic to create an arrow going through a magical heart, showing love.

Alzack, Max, Jet, and Droy are waving around the watching public. Jet and Droy are wearing a caterpillar and pumpkin costume while Max and Alzack wear their usual outfits.

Lucy, Levy, and Bisca are wearing tank tops with ribbons, miniskirts, gloves, and thigh length stockings. Each of them carried a flag bearing the name of the guild.

Elfman uses his Beast Soul: Full-Body Take Over. Mira participated with her float designed as a tower with a giant pink rose on top standing behind Elfman. In the middle of the parade, she emerged from the rose and quickly transformed into a giant gecko.

Gray and Juvia act as King and Queen of an ice castle created by Gray's Ice-Make with Juvia's Water Magic moving the surrounding water. Aira stands on top of the castle as he uses his Water Dragon Slayer Magic to create the Fairy Tail emblem.

Erza uses her requip, producing multiple swords to dance around her.

Natsu and Happy manned this float with Natsu using his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic words while Happy dances around him. The two are surrounded by torches being pulled by some creatures.

Nab, Reedus, Vijeeter, Warren, and Laki participated in the parade. The guys standing on top of their rock with Laki riding a wooden horse around them.

"Master." Gajeel and Satsuki finally appear, but on the sideline. Satsuki having fewer bandages than Natsu and Aira.

"You two are not gonna join in?" Master Makarov asked.

"Ain't my style." Gajeel replied.

"Oh yeah, Mr. Shooby Doo Bop?" Master Makarov teased as Gajeel's face puffed while Satsuki chuckled.

"Master, here." Gajeel hands him a piece of paper. "Master Ivan, your son. We found out where he is."

Master Makarov takes the paper, putting it in his back pocket. "Sorry about giving you two such a dangerous job."

"Eh, don't worry about it. No screw ups here. He has no idea we're double agents." Gajeel grins at the Master.

"It was easy." Satsuki added.

"You two did good." Master Makarov appreciates the help from Gajeel and Satsuki. "I can't let him do as he pleases."

"Master, are you ready?" A guild member asked.

Master Makarov puts his hat with cat ears on. "Well, I'm off!" The crowd gets more excited when they see the Master. He wears a goofy outfit consisting of a long-sleeved shirt, gloves, pants, pointy shoes, and a hat with cat ears. Master Makarov stood on a raised intricately designed platform with a status of an angel behind him.

Laxus is also watching the parade, and moments after Master Makarov enters the scene, Laxus is reminded of his first Fantasia Parade he watched when he made up a sign for Master Makarov to know that even if he wasn't seeing him, he was looking for him.

As Laxus is about to head off, he notices something that catches his attention quickly. He is amazed and the whole guild is using that sign in the current parade. "Gramps..." Laxus cries tears of joy.

"Even if I can't see you... Even if we are separated far apart... I'll always be watching you. I'll watch over you forever."

"Yeah... Thank you." Laxus leaves ashamed and touched, understanding what a fool he was.

"There's way more to go! I'm fired up!" Natsu exclaimed, using more of his Fire Magic. "We're Fairy Tail wizards!"

"I'm still just a rookie... But I've got to work hard and become a wizard that won't lose to anyone! Fairy Tail is the best!" Lucy smiles wide.

"Lucy, they say smiling weird like that will give you wrinkles." Happy teased.

Lucy panics a bit, hoping that her face won't get ruined. "Where?! Where?!"

"Just theoretically. So touchy, you are." Happy commented.

"I don't wanna hear that from you!" Lucy yelled. "And wait, we finally had a nice moment there... And this is how they end it?!"

Fireworks light up the dark sky as the crowd cheers for Fairy Tail.
