The Year is X791. The Grand Magic Games came to a close, with Fairy Tail standing as the victor against all odds. There was another incident concerning dragons, but the larger population within Fiore was made to forget this incident to avoid mass panic. There were still issues concerning the outside of the country, but nothing that could be dealt with now. As of now, there was a new era coming to Fiore on this day, unbeknownst to anyone. As far as they were currently concerned, this was just another normal day, where business was booming.
Near the lively town of Magnolia, a single guild stands. This guild has seen and been through countless hardships and battles; however, they always found a way to make it out safely. This guild's members have the most heart out of anyone in the land of Fiore, and they make it known. This guild's name is Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail is usually a lively place, and today was no exception.
"You wanna go, ice breath!?" Natsu was forehead to forehead with his childhood rival, Gray Fullbuster; the two had been head to head like this before and as usual, it was over something trivial. Then again, one would guess that is what makes them true rivals.
"Sure thing, Flame Brain!" Gray smirked, confidently.
"What are they fighting about THIS time…?" Lucy groaned as she face planted into the table.
"Oh, you know, same old same old, Lu-chan…" Levy smiled and laughed nervously, then went back to the book she was reading.
"Those two need to chill out sometimes," Cana sighed while sitting cross legged on the floor; she casually picked up a full barrel of beer and began to chug it down without a care in the world.
"I AM chill," Gray commented over to the side before butting heads with Natsu once again.
Lucy sighed, just looking around the building, "Hm? Where's Erza?"
"She went out on an S Class job earlier this morning," Levy answered, not looking up from her book, "She should be back in a little bit, actually."
"Oh, I hope she's alright," Lucy, replied.
"She's Erza! Of course she's alright!" Levy looked up from her book and smiled reassuringly. Before anyone else could say another word, Natsu swung at Gray with a flaming fist; hitting Gray right in the chest and caused him to fly into the wall, "Oh boy..." Levy sighed heavily.
"Here we go again…" Lucy groaned, slowly sliding her way out from the middle of the fight.
"Oh that is IT!" Gray placed his hand in his palm, a cold wind surrounding his legs, "Ice Make!" Before he could finish, the doors creaked open slowly, a high sound catching everyone's attention, "Huh?"
A figure was standing at the door; this figure was also carrying someone. The figure stepped forward, and everyone gasped. The figure was hooded, so their face was hidden; but that's not what caught everyone's attention. What caught everyone's attention was the person slung over the figure's shoulder, unconscious, Erza Scarlet.
"Erza!" Lucy gasped, covering her hand over her mouth from shock.
"What happened...!?" Mirajane's hands went to her mouth horror. Erza, defeated? No, that couldn't be right. Erza would never go down so easily. Something else was a play here, but that was something they could discuss after they dealt with the unawared intruder.
"Erza!" Gray dropped his fight with Natsu and ran over to the figure; however, the figure only chuckled as they threw Erza violently at Gray. Gray caught Erza, but the force of the throw was so powerful that Gray flew back into the wall again.
"She's weak," the figure chuckled, dusting off their hands. "She is rich in kindness and compassion. As such, she was very easy to beat."
"I'll show you weak!" Natsu's hand was engulfed by an orange flame that grew stronger along with his rage, "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu reared his fist back, swinging at the figure; he landed a direct hit, but the figure faded as it let off a creepy laugh; the figure was nothing more than an illusion. A ghost in the wind."W-Where's Wendy!?" Lucy asked, frantically looking around the guild.
"She's not here…!" Levy answered, panicking slightly. "She went to Lamia Scale with Charla to spend time with Chelia..."
"Where did that bastard go!?" Natsu looked ran outside, looking around wildly for the hooded man, "I'll make him pay for this!"
