Chapter 4: Tale of the Barefoot Girl
Mavis started when she was a girl and her home island was attacked by a dark guild known as Blue Skull taking the lives of the people and how later she continued to live on the island with her childhood friend Zera.
Later she met Yuri, Laxus' great-grandfather, who was a previous treasure hunter along with Precht and Warrod.
The three helped Mavis get some dirt on Blue Skull's location and the moment they arrived in the town known as Fiore, they learn of Blue Skull's tyranny and the tragedy they caused to the innocent.
Mavis and her friends fight against the Blue Skull wizards only to be confronted by the leader. Mavis attempts to trick the Blue Skull wizards using her illusions, but, the leader sees through her magic which leads to Mavis and her friends retreat with minor injuries.
Luffy and his friends were enraged at what happened.
Mavis continues when she first meets Zeref, who she convinces to teach her more about magic and her friends learn the magic of their own.
After a while of training their new magic powers, they gather the villagers to assist them and overcome Blue Skull.
The plan goes into motion and things start to go smoothly until Mavis learns of the treasure that was stolen from her island and tries to warn Yuri of the danger, but, he refuses to believe her which causes the magic stone to take over his body turning him into a dragon-like skeleton.
Things get really out of hand once Yuri goes berserk and causes havoc in the town. Mavis uses a powerful spell Fairy Law despite the risk of using it. She succeeds in saving Yuri, only to be in a coma and eventually healed by a magic healer, only to discover a price that Mavis has to pay.
Yuri wakes up and learns of Mavis' condition which was that she'll never grow up. Feeling guilty, Yuri breaks down in tears of guilt but, Mavis forgives him.
Yuri reveals that he nor his friends can see Zera, who reveals her death on the night that Blue Skull attacked Tenrou Island. Zera eventually departs and is embraced by a tearful Mavis, who miraculously becomes visible to Yuri.
After some hard thinking, Mavis decides to establish a wizard guild known as Fairy Tail and is appointed as the first guild master.
During a war, Mavis and other wizard guilds partake in the war. Mavis begins to feel affected by the lives that are taken in the war. She coincidently stumbled upon Zeref once again. Zeref learns of Mavis' using the Law Spell and realizes that she's cursed as well knowing what dangers will lay ahead and the lives that'll be taken. Mavis refuses to believe him and runs back to the guild.
Back at the guild, Yuri's wife Rita gives birth to their son Makarov is born, who was given the name by Mavis herself. It was a joyous celebration but it's cut short when Yuri's wife dies. Mistakenly, everyone thinks Rita's death is due to exhaustion. Mavis realized what really happened and is completely horrified at this and runs away leaving her guildmates confused.
Mavis continues to wander across the land as she witnesses animals, plants, and people lose their lives due to the Curse of Ankhseram. She is approached and found by Zeref, she begs him to kill her, however, she learns of Zeref's way is a different one. He also reveals that he created demons known as Etherious that would help him end his life of suffering. Another plan he had was creating a country either for war or just for fun, then he starts to yamper on other things making Mavis confused but she heard him briefly saying something about the world refusing to accept him.
Mavis hugs Zeref and tells him that if the world doesn't accept him, she would suffer with him knowing she knows of his suffering. She promises that she'll find a way to break their curse together. Zeref had never received kindness from a single person in his life but Mavis is the first one, but, mostly she was the one he loved so much. In a heated passionate moment, Zeref kisses Mavis. However, the kiss of love had brought up the highest of contractions between two cursed people. That kiss had taken Mavis' life even though she was supposed to be immortal.
After that, Zeref returns Mavis' body to Fairy Tail, and Precht is surprised to see Mavis return with Zeref. He requested to take Mavis' body. Mavis' body is taken in a lacrima and Precht uses many resurrections spells on the first master, but to no avail. He discovered what was going on with Mavis and he is forced to keep this discovery a secret. In the next couple of years, Precht announces to the guild of Mavis' death and was made the second guild master of Fairy Tail and Mavis' grave on the holy grounds of Tenrou Island. Precht balanced his time as a guild master and tried to find a way to bring Mavis back to life.
Five years later, Yuri passed away and another fifty years passes but Precht never gave up. It was at that time, everything became unpredictable. While in the lacrima, Mavis was in a state of animated suspension. Alive yet dead at the same time. It was a combination that created a new kind of magic. One that would shake the foundations of the magical world and that was called...
"Eternity Magic, Fairy Heart.
Everyone in the guild including the Fishmen, Minks, and the Straw Hat pirates was speechless at what they heard.
Lucy was dumbfounded even upon hearing the name of it. "Eternity...magic?"
Erza was confused as well. "What is that?"
Robin had a theory. "If I have to guess, it's magic that can never run out, I was told that wizards in Earthland need Etherano to restore their magic, am I right?'
"Yes, clearly, a limitless magic..." Mavis summarized.
Luffy, Natsu, and Happy's minds exploded. "The hell!?"
"AN EVERLASTING FOUNTAIN OF MAGIC!?"
"HOLY CRAP!"
It was surprising to Akame and the other assassins along with the Straw Hats. "Limitless magic? Such a thing exists?"
Chelsea was perplexed. "This is insane."
"Crap, with that kind of magic, anyone could use magic without needing to recharge their magic power!" Franky exclaimed.
"Man, that could make anyone unbeatable!" Chopper added with his eyes popping out.
"I thought our world was crazy," Zoro thought with wide eyes.
Leone still needed a clearer explanation. "So...how does it work?"
Mavis was glad to explain that. "For example, there was once a weapon called the Etherion that the old magic council had and one attack from that weapon could wipe an entire country. With Fairy Heart, you could fire that Etherion repeatedly without worrying about the magic. Or should I say, it has enough magic to enable that...but then again...it's hard to explain just how much it has. it is infinite, after all."
"That's insane!" Usopp yelled.
"Imagine if the World Government got something like that their disposable," Robin thought.
"Snort...snort... infinite magic...so shocking..." Temukai said.
"Indeed, with that much magic, anyone can blast an island into nothing," Rena commented.
Angela agreed. "Yes, if Hordy Jones knew that, he would probably want to use it on humans,"
Wendy couldn't help but feel worried. "If anyone caught wind of that..."
"It could shake the foundations of the magic world, "Carla finished.
"Indeed, that kind of magic could rival the Bluton weapon," Franky thought.
Robin had similar thoughts. "This powerful magic could rival the power of Joy Boy and Pluton."
Jimbe had his thoughts. "With that power, Hordy's plan would've been stopped easily, but, the destruction would be too much."
Makarov had more to say about this topic. "My son Ivan once wanted this as well. Though, its secret somehow got out to Alvarez."
Elfman started to piece together what was going on. "So you're saying Alvarez is attacking because they want Fairy Heart?'
"Does make sense..." Everyone looked at Zoro, who spoke. "Sounds like they heard of its incredible magic force and probably want to use it for something."
Sanji hated to admit it, but, the green-haired swordsman had a point. "For once, I agree with the moss head, it's obvious that these Alvarez bastards want to use it, but, the question is why?"
Mavis had a theory on that. "If I have to guess, they're planning to use it to take down Acnologia. It's been getting on Zeref's nerves this whole time."
And the situation couldn't get any worse for Chelsea. "Great. A powerful empire, an immoral guy, and a destructive dragon. This just keeps getting better."
Natsu narrowed his eyes at the mention of the name...
Happy thought of a question. "Hey, I have a simple question. If it was that powerful, couldn't we just beat both Alvarez and Acnologia with it?"
Makarov agreed but, he had one concerning thought about it. "I admit I wanted to use it against the faces during the battle against Tartaros, however, if we couldn't control the Etherion who knows what destruction would havoc."
Happy didn't think of that and looked down. "I'm sorry."
Lily didn't blame him for trying to come up with something. "Remember you can't counter a poison with another."
Carla questioned his choice of words. "Be careful, Mavis' body is here."
"Even so, that magic power is something, probably enough to scare away the navy or any other pirates, perhaps it would be able to take out the Four Emperors too," Brook stated.
Jimbei agreed on some parts of that. "Perhaps, but, I doubt they would go down easily,"
"Either way, it's a no-brainer that Alvarez will do anything to get this power," Zoro said.
Mavis agreed, though, she seemed so sad feeling like this mess was her fault. "A magic born of my sins...I never thought it would drag all of you into this mess including those from the other worlds."
Gajeel didn't see it that way. "Sin...it's not a sin to fall in love, if it was the rule, I wouldn't arrest ya for it." Everyone was surprised he could say something so meaningful.
Wakaba, Macao, Max, Jet, and Droy were giving him weird looks. "What, old farts!?" He comically asked with shark teeth.
The other members had their way of viewing this. "He's right...you shouldn't blame yourself for this," Erza spoke.
Mirajane agreed with her former rival. "That's right, it's coincidental that the bad stuff kept piling on you."
"If you weren't here, we wouldn't have Fairy Tail at all," Lucy added.
"Which means we would never have met you," Cana pointed out.
"You being here is what connects us all," Gray spoke.
Mavis started to have tears build up in her eyes. Leone couldn't help but snicker. "They have a point. If you didn't build this guild, then none of these people wouldn't have met each other which means they wouldn't have met Gray, Juvia, and Taran. The others wouldn't have come to their rescue and if that didn't happen...well, things would have gone differently in our world. In other words, we're glad to be members of this guild and with our new friends." Chelsea just smiled while Akame slightly nodded in agreement.
Aquapad and his friends shared their views.
"Yeah, I wouldn't have met Lisanna, Elfman, and Mirajane, who knows where else I would've been by now," The Marlin Fishman spoke.
"Yes, it was because of that, your family brought Aquapad home safely," Jula added.
"Indeed, our island was saved with Fairy Tail's help as well, everyone of us is in your debt, no doubt, the royal family would agree to that." Angela bowed with a smile as Thorn and Rena nodded in agreement with smiles on their faces.
Mavis' tears were starting to build up more.
The Minks couldn't help but share their views too.
Usagi approached the young female guild master. "First master Mavis, I agree with Aquapad and his friends, Fairy Tail and their friends from Night Raid saved us, we are in their debt, and our faith in humans is restored."
"Snort...snort...love Fairy Tail, be glad to be a member..." Temukai added with a smile.
Pango grinned. "Yeah! We're eager to help you and your friends in this war too!"
"Mavis, our time with Fairy Tail shows us the hope we had in the past which is our kind will coexist with humankind, and it still is to this day," Tigress said with a slight smile.
The Straw Hats were happy to share their views.
Franky was bawling his eyes out. "Mavis, your friends saved the island I grew up on, I owe you all my life!"
Brook shared the same reaction. "Yohohohoh...I can't blame such a lovely sweet young girl like you, you created such a marvelous guild that shares bonds that we Straw Hat pirates have!"
"That's right, the great Usopp knows of your pain!" Usopp boasted.
"Yeah, you didn't plan this, it was just a mere coincidence, nothing for you to be ashamed of," Nami commented.
Sanji began to twirl in front of Mavis. "Mavis! I can be assured that I won't let those Alvarez bastards lay a finger on your guild or you!"
Zoro grunted. "No need to blame yourself, just move ahead and be glad that you accomplished what you wanted."
Jimbei bowed. "That's right, you have such a loyal family, not to mention your friends the Exceeds has helped the people of Fishman Island regain their hope to live in peace with humans."
Chopper was wiping his eyes with a tissue. "Oh Mavis, your heart must be hurting after so much pain and suffering, but, you're a great wizard not mention a loyal friend, right Luffy?"
Everyone looked at the Straw Hat captain, who was seemingly quiet despite he was sitting down on the bench, Chopper was dumbfounded. "Luffy..."
Usopp then walked over to him and tapped his shoulder.
Luffy fell over on the wooden bench and was snoring. "WHAAAATTT!" The other guild members were in awe at what they were seeing.
"That kid is asleep!?" Macao exclaimed with a gaping mouth.
"How long has he been asleep!?" Romeo asked.
"Should've seen this coming," Usopp muttered in annoyance.
"Not surprising, that idiot" Nami added facepalming herself.
"He's worse than Natsu," Gajeel groaned quietly.
Robin giggled.
Fujika has heard of this and whispered to Miyaka. "I heard he's like Garp in a way."
Miyaka couldn't but agree. "Yes, despite they took different paths.
Leone laughed while rubbing his head like a baby. "Aw...he's sleeping like a baby."
Chelsea questioned that comment. "More like sleeping like an old man snoring."
Wendy had her statement. "We'll protect the guild you built, so, we'll fight."
Tears were streaming from Mavis' eyes while smiling after hearing what the guild members, Fishmen, Minks, and the Straw Hat pirates said to her. Makarov felt humbled after hearing his children's words to the first guild master. "It's become a fine guild, first master."
Juvia just started crying out of nowhere which freaked out Gray a little. "Master Mavis has to fight the person she once loved."
Mavis wiped her tears away from her eyes. "That was a long time ago. Zeref is now a threat to mankind, we have to defeat him."
While that may be true, there was a problem. "But...even if did something about the Alavreze soldiers..."
"Zeref's immortal, isn't he?" Freed finished what Bickslow started.
"He can't be killed then!" Evergreen shouted.
Nami, Usopp, and Chopper were nervous about that.
"Not to mention Tartaros is out there somewhere, knowing them, they'll probably be going to cause some havoc themselves once the war begins," Laxus reminded.
Jimbei nodded. "Indeed, no doubt, they'll attack Fiore, which will give us a disadvantage."
"But, the main question is, how do we kill someone like Zeref?" Erza asked.
Akame looked at Murasame. "Could Murasame do it?" She didn't know if her Imperial Arms was capable of killing someone immortal it was never done before.
Then everyone heard laughing from Natsu, who jumped on a table. "Leave it to me!?" He grabbed the bandaged part of his bicep. "I'll take down Zeref. I've been developing this technique in secret anyway!" Now everyone including the Straw Hats was curious about what Natsu had up his sleeve.
B
"Oh, my...lady Brandish, looking wonderful as always."
Brandish's foot stomped near a small Marin with some nail polish beside him. She was sitting on a couch in a room. "Could you do this side for me then?"
Marin gladly accepted and grabbed the brush. "Why, of course. Please let me paint them with as much love and care as possible. Ah, such beautiful legs, but, before that, could I ask you to return me to my normal size?"
Before Brandish could answer, the door to the room opened to reveal Dimaria. "Randy..."
Brandish noticed one of the Spriggan Twelve's arrival. "Marie..."
Dimaria smiled at the other woman. "I heard you let some mice escape."
Brandish didn't seem to care much and flipped a page of a magazine. "I didn't let them escape. It was a pain so I didn't bother stopping them."
"Oh, I did tell her you to know!" Marin gave his two cents on the matter. "Ahh...you're looking great too lady Dimaria."
Dimaria just scoffed at him. "Return to his normal size won't you, it's disgusting having to feel like I'm talking to a little bug."
Marin felt a little insulted hearing that.
Brandish sighed in annoyance. "Such a pain."
"Don't say that!"
Dimaria was done saying what she wanted and started to close the door on her way out. "But you need him, don't you? The Spriggan Twelve have been summoned. We're going to need his magic too so bring him along." She closed the door as Brandish saw.
She then picked up Marin between her toes and lift him as she looked at him. "Sometimes I wonder why I'm even going out with her. "Marin couldn't respond as he was shouting for help.
B
Back at the guild, questions about Natsu's secret weapon were being raised. However, Lucy still needed more input on it. "And?"
Erza was in the same mindset. "What's that plan you're going on about?"
Natsu laughed and had sparkles in his eyes. "It's a secret. That's the reason it's called a secret plan."
Gray, Gajeel, and Elfman ganged up on the fire dragon slayer on making him spill the beans of his secret plan. "Quit wasting time already!"
"What have you gotten in your arm!?"
"Man up and tell us!"
Chopper was eager to know too. "Come on, tell us the weapon, I hope it's a good one!"
Franky had to admit he was curious as well. "Yeah, I bet your secret plan is...SUPER!"
Happy had a rather smug look on his face which both Carla and Lily noticed. "Hmm...you know what the secret is, don't you?"
Happy raised his paw at Lily. "Well, sure..."
Carla didn't understand why he was acting all high and mighty for. "I don't get what you're modest when it's not your secret, to begin with."
After knocking away Gajeel, Gray, and Elfman, Natsu raised his bandaged arm. "Anyway, I can only use this once, but it's guaranteed to take Zeref down and I'm certain it can."
A laugh was heard from Luffy and everyone looked at him. "Sounds good to me. Either way, these Alvarez jerks better be ready, I plan to kick their butts, and my crew will be sure to give them a good ass-kicking too!"
Hearing Natsu's words gave the guild confidence boost and hearing Luffy's words boosted them even more.
"Those two are proud and confident..." Bickslow said while grinning.
"Yes, despite being naive blockheads," Evergreen giggled.
"They sure know how to boost our confidence," Erza spoke.
Zoro smirked as he held up his swords. "Couldn't agree more, I'm ready for some action."
Franky grinned. "I'll be sure to show that Alvarez weaponry that I created!"
Robin just giggled.
"I'll treat anyone's injuries!" Chopper stated to everyone.
Nami smiled a bit. "Yes, I help out here with my navigation skills."
"With my sniper skills, I'll shoot down any enemy!" Usopp boasted despite his legs shaking.
Sanji chuckled. "I'll make sure that nobody from Alvarez will lay a hair on any girls of ours!"
Jimbei nodded. "Yes, I'll be sure to help with my Fishman Karate."
"Yohohohoh...I'll help out too!" Brook laughed.
Mavis was inspired by Natsu and Luffy's words. "I have a few plans, but Natsu shall be the one to take down Zeref for now."
Lucy knew there was one more issue to address. "Master, could you tell us what enemies we're up against?"
Makarov closed his eyes and answered Lucy's question. "Yes, let me tell you all that I found out, first off, Emperor Spriggan. We know him as Zeref here in Ishgar. He has a small elite force under him known as the Spriggan Twelve." He opened his eyes. "I spent a year there, but, I've only met six of them. It could be because it's a lot bigger over there so it's not often that they gather."
B
Meeting of the Spriggan Twelve.
In a meeting room, Zeref saw that several of his Shields had come which was more than wished for. "Seven people. Thank you all for coming despite it being just a minute."
"Lord Neinhart is somewhere in the palace as well but..." Yajeel pointed out.
Zeref didn't seem to mind. "It's fine, besides, there are some things I want to discuss with him alone."
Yura was curious about that, but, knew that there had to be more issues to be discussed first. "It's not fine, I mean, how could one of the twelve go against the words of his highness?"
Spriggan Twelve member, Winter General: Invel Yura
B
"Then, we have the Winter General, Invel. Zeref's closest aid and consul. Just as his name states, he uses ice magic, that's all I know."
Gray took notice of that. "Ice..."
"That's not for you to say, Invel. Let's just start the meeting here then! It's always easier with small numbers anyway."
Spriggan Twelve member, Desert King: Ajeel Ramal
"The Desert King, Ajeel is someone we already met during our escape. A wizard with the power to control sand. One of the Few Spriggan Twelve that's always itching for a fight."
Natsu narrowed his eyes at the mention of the name. "That guy, huh."
Luffy and some of his crew members recalled their encounter with the former Warlord Crocodile, who has the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit.
B
"Most of you probably already know but it's time that our attack on Ishgar begins soon."
Brandish just sighed with exhaustion. "Such a pain."
Zeref noticed her attitude. "Don't say that Brandish, what happened to listen to me?"
Brandish looked over in her emperor's direction. "I'd do even if it's pain as long you ask me to. Of course, how I feel and my actions are two different things."
Spriggan Twelve member, The Country Demolisher: Brandish
B
"The Country Demolisher, Brandish, hates fights, but she has the power to wipe a nation off the map if she needs to, as you can see her magic before,"
Erza agreed. "We met her back on Caracall Island and if I'm not wrong, she probably could change the mass of another."
"Sounds like a challenge," Luffy said intrigued.
"Nobody likes a person that doesn't think before they speak Randy."
Spriggan Twelve member, Warrior Queen: Dimaria Yesta
B
"And then we have the Warrior Queen, Dimaria, I don't know anything about her magic, but she's a female knight that survived and triumphed in many wars, thus earning that title."
Zoro smirked. "Sounds like she'll be a challenge,"
"Moss head, you dare think of hurting a woman?!" Sanji questioned angrily.
"Hey, Sanji, whose side are you on, hello..." Lucy whispered awkwardly.
Sanji chuckled nervously. "Heh...heh...sorry."
"This could a be problem," Usopp and Carla thought with deadpan expressions.
Erza had other thoughts. "So, Dimaria is a wizard and a knight?"
Laxus gave her a deadpan expression. "Sound familiar huh?"
"Either way, we can assume her magic power is powerful," Jimbei spoke.
Makarov nodded in agreement.
B
Zeref looked at another one of his Shields. "God Serena, will be painful to destroy your homeland?"
Serena slammed his fists on the table. "Painful..." He spread his arms out in a dramatic fashion while looking up. "NO!"
Brandish gave him a deadpan expression. "Jackass." Serena moved his torso to the side and pointed at her. "Thank you!"
Ten Wizard Saint Former Rank One and Spriggan Twelver member, Hybride Theory: God Serena
B
"The strongest of Ten Wizard Saints, God Serena. I guess you'd call him someone deplorable but his strength is something not to be taken lightly. Trust me on this."
"God huh?" Luffy and some of his crew members remembered Eneru, he was strong, and he was beyond cruel.
Levy still found it hard to believe that he was with the enemy." Having a former Ten Wizard Saint as an enemy, it's still shocking."
Juvia felt the same way and was perplexed too. "I wonder why he left Ishgar."
That was something Lily wanted to know. "Yes, we can ask him once one of us gets to see him."
Akame had other thoughts. "Back in the capital, Esdeath was considering the strongest in the Empire. This God Serena would be the same in this world, the only difference is that God Serena is stronger than Esdeath. What magic he possesses, that's the main question."
B
"Your highness...we're prepared for this Ragnarok."
Spriggan Twelve member and leader, Wizard King: August
B
"And the Wizard King, August..." Makarov had a terrified look on his face which was something that the rest of the guild and the Straw Hat wasn't expecting to see. "He's on a different level...his magic is nothing like the Spriggan Twelve..."
Lucy and Nami gulped upon hearing that.
"Scary!" Usopp, Pango, and Chopper yelled.
"That's enough to make my skin crawl...wait, I don't have any skin...skeleton joke!" Brook laughed.
"This August guy must be stronger than Hordy Jones and his men," Aquapad said.
"No doubt, the others could overpower the navy fleet too," Usagi added.
Tigress added. "Indeed, this battle will be tough,"
"On top of that, the rumor that he can control the magic of every element, even the ancient ones, and if compared to Zeref in terms of types, he's probably more powerful than Zeref himself," Makarov concluded.
"That sounds bad," Rena said a hint of fear in her voice.
Robin began to ponder some thoughts. "Hmm...I don't know why, but, something seems off."
"That's all the six of the members but the remaining three...all I have is their names."
Akame did the math in her head. "He's met six and only three are left, makes me wonder what magic power they possess."
"Their names are Neinhart, Bloodman..."
B
"And Wall..."
Spriggen Twelve member, The Adjudicator: Wall Eehto(Dub name in US)
"So you want the body of her former lover. Sinful, sinful."
Zeref just shook his head. "No, no, Fairy Heart is magic. Not a person. Fairy Tail isn't all that I want, though, I want Ishgar's destruction without fail."
All the shields present clearly what their emperor said. "Mankind, huh?"
"We are pawns."
"That's a very interesting way of putting it."
"Yes, good."
"Let's start planning then.
Ajeel slammed his hands on the table. "Could you leave it to me then!?"
Zeref disagreed with that. "No, you won't be doing this alone, we're launching an all-out attack."
Ajeel wasn't too pleased with that. "What the, I'm all you need, with God Serena here, our chances of victory are simple!"
Zeref only smirked at his words. "If only it were that easy, anyway, we're going all-out, I have my reasons for doing so... We're attacking, starting with the Dragon King Festival."
B
Mavis decided to take over and explain her plan of action. "We're starting planning now then, please listen well, everyone."
"Hold it!" Luffy spoke. "I'm the captain of my crew, so, I'll decide what my crew and I can do."
"WHAATTT!?" Most of the guild yelled.
"He's right," Usopp said. "With all due respect Mavis, Luffy is our captain, so we take orders from him, nothing against you, he's just he's the kind of guy that doesn't take orders from anyone."
Mavis was silent for a moment.
"Come on, have some respect for Fairy Tail's first master!" Max pouted.
"Yeah, she's a lovely girl that needs respect you punk!" Droy added.
"It's fine..." Mavis spoke as everyone looked in her direction. "Though, Luffy, you can do what you want, but, with your permission, I'll explain the plan and you can decide which of your crew can do from there."
Luffy looked at her for a second and grinned. "Okay..."
"How can he say with a straight face!?" Jet, Doy, and Max exclaimed comically.
"That's Luffy for ya," Franky laughed.
"Anyway, I won't deny that we're outnumbered at this point, the enemies' magic powers will be nothing like the ones we fought in the past before, not to mention Tartaros will start trouble sooner or later, but, what we have is the courage and the bonds we have to pull us through! Let's show them the power of Fairy Tail!"
Everyone cheered at the first master's words and was more than ready to take on the Alvarez Empire head-on.
Back at the Tartaros Guild.
"Have the four awakened yet?"
Mard Geer, King of the Underworld.
"Fufufufu...it's sad, but, no matter, they'll awake soon enough,"
Lamy
"Yes, what is the plan for now?"
Kay
Neo-Necromancer/Stealth
"The others will awake soon, once the humans begin their war, we'll use that to create chaos ourselves and search for Zeref, if we have to take his subjects hostages then do so, but, be on your guard." One more thing the Underworld King had to say. "Also, we must stay alive, we need to find our master E.N.D's whereabouts, and the only one that can conclude that is Zeref."
"...I can't wait, but, didn't you say you had an idea who our master is?"
Rachena
Spider Demon
Curse: Web
"Yes, but, for now, focus on finding out the details war and the outcomes so far, keep me updated too." Mard Geer replied.
"Aw, I was hoping to break some skulls of humans,"
Slither
Reptilian Demon
Curse: Revenge
Ability: Regenaration
"Enough, Mard Geer calls the shots, so, we'll just have to take his word for it,"
Shino
Mad Scientist Diva
Curse: Creation
Weapon Designer of Tartaros
"Yes, so, listen to the orders for now," Mard Geer began to say.
Meanwhile, in a far-off location, another important participant was preparing for the upcoming war. "My arm is itching...the arm that flame dragon bastards took from me." Acnologia took a step forward. "The Dragon King Festival...that's where I'll take everything back." He transformed into his dragon form and flew up while roaring. "THE ABSOLUTE AND THE ONE BEFITTING OF THE TITLE, THE KING OF DRAGONS...I, ACNOLOGIA!"
P.S Syka the Demon is going to return too, I just forgot about her.
End of chapter.
