* *: Narrator/Voice-off

3rd person POV:

Magic council, Era:

???: Sage Org, thank you for your work today at the council. Have you decided yet on the guild trade agreement reform proposal ?

Org: No... That still requires more time.

*Magic council: Sage Org*

Org: More importantly, you all should have heard by nown haven't you ?

Lahar: I assume you're talking about Fairy Tail's core members returning ?

*Magic council: Lahar*

Lahar: Looks like that's one load off your chest, right, Doranbolt ?

Doranbolt: ... I...

*Magic council: Doranbolt*

Org: The magic world will probably get stirred up again.

Doranbolt: ... 'I had already discarded them from my thoughts...'

Org: 7 years ago, when Acnologia and Zeref were sighted...

Lahar: I apologize... There whereabouts are still unknown. Our reconnaissance squad needs more personnel assigned to it.

Org: These 7 years have been too quiet. We've been keeping watch of Sabertooth's exploits... But Tartaros has shown no suspicious activity. The same goes for the remnants of Grimoire Heart. There is also no new information on Zeref and Acnologia. But the circumstances of this silence is strange... It's almost like a never-ending night. Perhaps day is about to break through the night ? Will it be the magic world's great sunrise ?

Doranbolt: Are you saying the cause of this... Is Fairy Tail... ?

Org: ... FU HAHAHA !! Expecting that much out of Fairy Tail in spite of how much dislike I have for them... I've gotten older, too, haven't I...

*Two weeks have passed since the return from Tenrou island. Throughout the country, rumors of it have spread like wildfire. As expected, Weekly Sorcerer rushed in quickly to get the scoop on the details.

Jason: COOOOOOOOOOOOOL !!

As if to make up for 7 years of lost time, everyone parties their hearts out every single day.*

Your POV:

"Sabertooth ?"

Mew: A tiger with sabers for teeth... Sabertooth. Get it ?

Romeo: Lamia and Cerberus even disregard them... They're currently the strongest mage guild in Fiore.

Gray: I've never heard of them.

Alzack: Well, they weren't anything special 7 years ago.

"You're saying they grew suddenly over these last seven years ?"

Max: It started when their guild master recruited five very strange, but very capable mages.

Lucy: Five people alone made that much of a difference ?

Natsu: Ohh ? I like his style.

Wendy: So what rank does that leave our guild in now ?

Mew: You... really want to know ?

Carla: You haven't heard yet ?

Wendy: Ehh ?

Romeo: Absolute last place.

Alzack: A super tiny weak little guild.

Bisca: The weakest guild in Fiore.

Wendy: Ahhh, I'm sorry for asking !

Natsu: KAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA !! THAT SOUNDS GREAT !! HOW INTERESTING !!

Gray: ... What ?

Natsu: You get it, don't you ?! I'm looking forward to the chance to try and climb our way higher ! How many opportunities like that do you get ?! I'm getting all fired up now !!

Gray: Ah, geez.

"I'm starting to see what you mean. If we manage to climb back up from absolute worst to the top, it'll have a much greater impact."

Natsu: Right ?! And now you're back in business, too !! So there's nothing that can stand in our way !

"Noooot exactly. Even if I can take missions now, I still need to take it easy. Porlyusica did say that I'd normally need to keep the bed for 3 months. But that advice of taking Droy as an example did help me."

Gray: What kind of example... ?

"Eat. A lot. Back there I had at least 15 lost kilos that I needed to regain."

Cana: Hey, have you guys seen Gildarts... ?

Gray: What now ? Are you lonely you aren't next to your daddy for a second ?

Cana: ... Are you sure this kind of comment should be directed towards me ? And not, I don't know, a certain S-Class mage, possibly with red hair ?

Erza: What is that supposed to mean ?

Cana: Nothing, nothing... Sneaky little girl, you really thought you living in the same house as your boyfriend would go unnoticed ?

Erza: Eh- I- It was only to keep an eye on him while he was still convalescent !

Cana: Suuuuuuure...

"Was my convalescence also an excuse to sneak into my bed every single night ?"

Erza: I- I...

Cana: My, my, Erza... How naughty.

"Mew, plug Wendy's ears for a sec, please."

Mew: K.

"You know, Erza... if you wanted us to be more... Intimate~... You just have to ask~..."

Erza: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Mew: Annnd she just broke.

"Excellent. She's not the only one with the right to tease. But that aside, concerning Gildarts..."

Mew: I think master... Er, Makarov ?

Lucy: I think master is fine.

Mew: Well, they went to the old Fairy Tail building.

Cana: Alright !! I'd better take this chance to go do my work !!

Happy: Their devotion toward each other is really amazing, isn't it ?

Carla: That's the most powerful strength of this guild.

Pantherlily: 'What about your devotion to Carla...'

Mew: 'I think now isn't exactly the best moment to bring out that you're the hugger type...'

'Am I really that clingy ?'

Mew: 'You even had your wings wrapped around her.'

'Oh...'

The next day:

"You okay Natsu ? That seems like a tough spot."

Natsu: Can't... believe... ?

Max: The past 7 years means a lot to us. We've tried hard to grow up.

Wendy: Natsu...

Lucy: Lost to Max ?

Natsu: Once again, GO !!

Max: Eh. Sand Rebellion !

Natsu: UAAH ! Gh- Catch the fire !! Fire Dragon's... IRON FIST !!!

Max: SAND WALL !!! I'm not the man you knew 7 years ago !

Vijeeter: Unbelievable ! Max is...

Warren: OVERPOWERING NATSU ?!

Nab: Then maybe we can also beat him...

Natsu: OOOHHHHHH !!! LIGHTNING FIRE DRAGON MODE !!

"Uh-oh... Everyone take cover now !"

Natsu: Lightning Fire Dragon's...

max: What is this...

Natsu: ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR !!!

Natsu: Damn it ! It's not as powerful as it was.

Mew: When did you steal this ?

Natsu: Just now.

Wendy: Terrific...

Max: I... Give up... You win... I'm gonna get killed by that attack...

Natsu: Alright... Who is the next one ?

Nab: YAAA !!

Warren: HE'S TOO POWERFUL !!!

Vijeeter: JUST LIKE A MONSTER !!

Natsu: KYA HAHAHAHA-

*PLOP*

"But it costs way too much magic power to use it. You'd better not use it in a real battle, don't you think ?"

Natsu: Nghhhh...

Wendy: Well... max was marvelous too.

Max: You are flattering me, Wendy.

Mew: But if you're strong enough to fight with the Ogre's, why didn't you beat them and shut them up ?

Warren: true, but... We owed them much money. It can't be solved by violence.

"We did use much violence to solve this problem."

Max: ... That's true.

Gray: But we are facing a really serious problem. Apart from those monster-like powerful guys like Gildarts or Laxus, we are too weak in this world now.

Lucy: You're right... Even Natsu got a hard victory in fighting with Max.

Wendy: Excuse me.

Max: Were you really just flattering me ?!

Happy: Is there any shortcut to raise our magic power ?

"You do your things."

Makarov: ... My point is that I've decided to retire. And now I'd like to introduce the next master to you all.

Cana: Are you serious ?

Macao: Wait for a second. I am not ready for...

Mew: Don't worry about that... There's no way it can be you.

Makarov: The Fifth master of Fairy Tail is... GILDARTS CLIVE !!

"... That's Mirajane..."

Makarov: ... W- Where is Gildarts... ?!

Mirajane: He left a letter here.

*To master, and all friends here... To be the master... Sorry to say I'm not suitable.*

Makarov: WHAT ?!!!

*Well, anyway, selected as the fifth master, I'd like to do two things for you. First is... To acknowledge Laxus as a member of Fairy Tail.*

Makarov: DARE YOU !!!

Laxus: Gildarts...

Bickslow: Great, Laxus !!

Evergreen: Now then we are the Raijin guard again !!

Laxus: I will... Emm...

Freed: Gildarts, you are truly a good guy...

Makarov: Uh... I will submit to the fifth master...

*Second is... To nominate Makarov Dreyar to be the sixth master of Fairy tail.*

Makarov: Me again ?!

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!"

*I'll travel around for some time, and will come back someday. Take care, all of you. And Cana, sorry to leave you again. You can always pray to the card when you miss me, and your feeling will reach to my card so that I will fly to you.*

Cana: I don't need it !

*RIP*

Cana: I told you that I like the life I have, damn father.

*Fairy Tail is my home. I will be back. Until the day I'm home, I hope that Fairy Tail would be the No°1 guild of Fiore again. But it's not my duty to do so, but yours. Master, this is your last job. To lead Fairy Tail to be the No°1 guild of Fiore !!*

Makarov: ... Uuuuuuuhh... My last job ? Dare you !! Ok, then I will never retire again !! I'LL BE THE MASTER FOR A LIFETIME !! BOOZE !! I NEED BOOZE !!

Mirajane: yes, yes...

Elfman: You are true man !!

Evergreen: You never learn how to use this phrase correctly...

"No°1, huh ? I like that idea."

Max: It's really too greedy, don't you think so ?

Erza: Nope. I think being positive is great.

Warren: It might have been possible 7 years ago, but now everything has changed

Alzack: That's true... Besides Sabertooth, Lamia and Cerberus have both grown to mighty guilds, so much stronger than 7 years ago.

Asuka: Large guilds.

Vijeeter: And look at us, although our core members have come back... Tenrou team has made no progress since 7 years ago... It's even the opposite for some of them.

"Screw you too."

Jet/Droy: Don't worry, I will protect Levy !

Mew: We have no way to fill up the vacant 7 years... Not only that but it's really difficult to be the No°1 of Fiore, in terms of either individual magic or the sum power of the guild...

Erza: You get the point... It will take some time to regain what we had before...

Romeo: But we can't and don't want to afford 7 years as "Some time". there's only one way for us to become No°1 in short time !!!

"Huh ?"

Warren: Wha !!

Nab: Are you... Referring...

Max: That is...

Macao: NO WAY !! WE HAVE DECIDED NEVER TO PARTICIPATE THAT, HAVEN'T WE !!!

Makarov: What are you talking about, fourth master ?

Macao: Would you please stop calling me that, sixth master ?

"So, um... What is that thing, exactly ?"

Romeo: WE'VE GOT TO DO IT !! LET'S DO IT !! LET'S DO IT !!

Macao: NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY, NO WAY !! I ABSOLUTELY DISAPPROVE OF THIS !! WE DECIDED WE'D NEVER PARTICIPATE IN THAT AGAIN !!!

Natsu: hey, we're back.

Mew: Anything useful ?

Lucy: just for Wendy.

Wendy: Ehehe.

Romeo: You don't have any authority to decide anymore, dad !! You're not the master anymore !!

Macao: i'm saying this as a member of the guild !!

Gray: Okay, what's the problem now ?

"First, I don't have a clue. Second, Gray, your clothes."

Macao: Everyone for not participating !! raise your hands !!

All: RIGHT HERE !!

Romeo: But we've got the Tenrou guys here this time !! Natsu, Erza and Y/n, they're all here ! There's no way Fairy Tail can lose !!!

Warren: But the Tenrou team has had 7 years of blank time.

Levy: Ugh...

Jet/Droy: You're fine the way you are, Levy !

Natsu: Going ? Not going ? What are they talking about ?

"Well, Romeo started bringing up a mean to go back to No°1,and then everyone went nuts."

Natsu: Kinda sounds like Lucy's constipation issues...

Lucy: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TELLING EVERYONE THAT ?!

Romeo: While you were gone, an annual festival was created to decide the number one guild in Fiore !

Natsu: That sounds awesome !!

Romeo: All the guilds of Fiore get together and compete with their magic power. It's called...

"... I think we'll stick with 'Grand Magic games' from now on..."

Natsu: WHOOOOOOOAA !!

Lucy: The Grand Magic Games ?!

Wendy: that sounds fun !!

Gray: It sounds just like a festival.

Erza: I see... So if we can win there...

Mew: Fairy tail will surely...

All: BECOME THE NUMBER ONE GUILD IN FIORE !!! YEAAAAHHH !!

Makarov: But... Do you really think you can win with your magic power as it is now ?

Macao: Of course not ! It's suicid-

Romeo: If we win, the guild gets a 30 million jewel prize !

Makarov: WE'RE GOING !!

Macao: MASTER !!

Natsu: I'M ALL FIRED UP !!!

Jet: HE'S LOST IT !!

"When is that happening ?"

Romeo: In three months !

Natsu: That's plenty of time !! We'll get yourself in shape by then !!

"And by there, I'll finally be back on my feet ! Then it's decided, this year... Fairy tail will once again be the number one guild in Fiore !!"

Warren: I don't want to be that kind of guy... But It's not exactly the battle festival you're thinking it is. It's hel-

Makarov: We've already decided we're going, so let's skip all the whining and useless chitchat !! Let's aim for those 30 million... Um... I mean, let's aim for number one in Fiore !! TEAM FAIRY TAIL !! WE'RE GONNA TAKE PART IN THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES !!!
