Your POV:

*The big event of competing for the No°1 guild in Fiore will be held in 3 months. The Grand Magic Games, a kind of festival, to have magic competition in various forms. Tenrou team was back, only to find that Fairy tail became the weakest guild in Fiore. In order to become No°1 once again...*

"Okay... Why are we at the sea ?"

Natsu: Well, for training. Duh.

"The real question here was 'Why are we training... At the beach ?"

Mew: Listen, we know why we're here for, okay ? We are not here for party !

"Try removing your snorkeling equipment before saying that..."

Erza: Don't worry. What we need now is modulation. Enjoy games, enjoy foods, enjoy sleeping...

Jet: Totally forget the training part.

Droy: You'd better make progresses during this training.

Jet: At least strong enough to defeat us-

Natsu: MY DEAR SEA !!!

Gray: I'M COMING !!

Both: LET'S COMPETE IN SWIMMING !!! NOW COMPETE IN BUILDING SANDCASTLES !! LET'S COMPETE IN EATING !! COMPETE IN TANNING !!

Natsu: Hoo... Time to go back to sleep.

"How... How long did..."

Mew: T- Three minutes... I think... ? They just fully enjoyed themselves...

Juvia: the tanned Gray-sama, so cool.

Lucy: Huh ? Are all Tenrou team members here ?

Levy: The rest of them are having training elsewhere. Team Mira went to the mountain, team Laxus chose another way...

Lucy: Um... Do we forget anyone... ?

Happy: Gajeel and Lily...

Carla: I haven't seen them recently.

Levy: They are having a secret training ! I wanted to go with them but failed.

Mew: Let me guess...

'Gajeel': No way, you'd only slow me down. This training will be way too harsh for someone like you.

Levy: ... Are you sure you aren't the real Gajeel ?

Lucy: ... How are you doing that ?

"Metamorphism. Mew psychic abilities aren't everything she can do, you know ?"

Lucy: But then, how come she never did it before ? Or even, why didn't she had that human form before ?

"Unlike what you guys could think, I didn't get a power-up after 7 years on Tenrou island. It's almost as I got a 'Power-down'."

Levy: ... What ?

Mew: Basically, the pact we made in the past became irrelevant, so i'm not dependent of his power anymore.

Mew: ... And you call that "Training" ?

"What ?"

Mew: You're sitting on a rock, fishing ! To think you were the one calling us out for coming at the beach !

"I ain't fishing. Look."

Mew: ... okay, this isn't fishing. But my question stays the same. How is tying your water crystal at the end of a fishing line has anything to do with training ?

"... In my condition, expecting some sort of massive power-up within 3 months is rather unlikely. But I'm determined to still get the better of what I can do.

Mew: Implying ?

"Literally what I just said. I may not be able to grow much stronger at that point, but I'm gonna hone what I already have to the max. Even if I can't get any experience, I'm taking the value of my efforts. And beside, it's not like I could catch anything with tha-"

*CHOMP*

"... ... ... ... ..."

Mew: ... ... ... ... ...

Juvia: ... ... ... Juvia felt Gray-sama's power around here...

Natsu: MORE POWERFUL !!

Happy: COME ON !

Natsu: MORE AND MORE POWERFUL !!

Happy: FIGHT ! GO ON !!

Natsu: WHOEVER LOOKS DOWN UPON OUR GUILD, I'LL SHUT HIM UP !!! I WILL SHOW YOU THE POWER OF FAIRY TAIL!!!

Happy: LET ME SEE THE POWER !! LET.ME.SEEE !!!

Natsu: Hehe... Show me everything.

Gray: Well... That's the deal...

Jet: Terrific, Natsu !! Don't go alone !

"Didn't think you were the kind of guy to peek, Natsu."

Natsu: We're at a hot spring. The law requires that at least one of us try to peak.

"You know, the more I think about it, the more I'm persuaded that there is some kind of unspoken rule about that. Well, have fun."

Gray: You know Erza's here, right ? I thought you'd lash out or something...

"You guys used to take baths together. It's be pretty petty of me to just go and make an imprint of your faces on the stone ground."

Mew: I just felt a disturbance...

Erza: Taking a bath after exercising is fabulous.

Wendy: We can fully relax in the warm water.

Carla: It's said to be effective for beauty.

Levy: Why the hell is Happy here ?!

Happy: Because I'm a cat.

Juvia: Juvia's too ashamed...

Lucy: Look ! Beautiful stars...

Levy: Are other members having tough training now ?

Wendy: Maybe they are watching stars like us.

Lucy: ... I have to make more efforts !

Erza: ... ... WHO'S THERE ?!

*SCHTUNK*

Lucy: What's wrong, Erza ?!

Erza: Uh... I felt something suspicious there... Might be wrong.

Mew: No, I did too. There were weird presences on the other side.

Levy: Do they dare to peep on us ?!

Wendy: How shameless !!

Juvia: G- Gray-sama would never do this !!

Erza: Well, shall we call them to join us ?

Lucy: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!

"Pfrrr... I don't even need to get involved, you guys got it anyway."

Natsu: Haha... I... Was almost killed...

Gray: I should not come with you...

Jet: You were no less excited than him...

Droy: OOOOOOOOOOOh !!

"How the hell did your ass get hurt ?!"

*Second day of the training camp, three months before the Grand Magic games.*

Natsu: Wow !! I'm feeling so good !

Gray: As long as we take the training seriously...

Wendy: We could increase our magic power so fast in just two days.

Erza: Then 3 months is quite enough for us to catch up with this world.

"Just enough for me to get back in business, for real this time."

Natsu: HA HA HA HA !! The other guilds' jerks, open your eyes !! I'll show you our overwhelming power after 3-month training !!

"That's the spirit !"

Lucy: I was worried about the time, and doubted if 3 months would be enough. Now seeing us going so effectively like this, I would say "Oh, we still have 3 months".

Happy: Aye.

Virgo: Princess ! Emergency.

Lucy: Wha- Why are you here ?!

Virgo: i'm ready for the punishment.

Happy: Virgo.

Carla: The maid spirit.

Mew: That masochist.

Gray: Wait, Lucy has been in the Fairy Sphere for 7 years... Which means, that all the celestial spirits who made contracts with her were staying in the celestial realm.

Juvia: Oh poor spirits ! Because of Lucy's fault...

Virgo: No... That's not a big problem for us...

Levy: Then, what happened ?

Virgo: ... The celestial realm is in a crisis of extermination. Please... Please help us.

"... What happened ?"

Virgo: the king of the celestial ream is waiting for you. i'm here to pick you up.

Natsu: Sure !! Let's go to help them !!

Lucy: Wait !! We humans cannot go to the celestial realm, can we ?

Virgo: You can enter the celestial realm in the celestial clothes. Ready to go.

Lucy: hey... I'm not ready yet...

Droy: ... Why just we...

Jet: Are left here... ?

All: GUARF !!

"Everyone is here ?"

Mew: Give me a few seconds, just to be sure which direction is "Up"...

Lucy: Th- This is the celestial realm ?!

Wendy: Wow...

King: Thanks for coming, my old friends...

Lucy: You are...

Natsu: BIG GUY !!

Happy: LONG MUSTACHE !!

"King of the celestial realm..."

Erza: So, you are the king of this world ?

King: Exactly.

Lucy: I- I've heard that the celestial realm is in serious crisis...

King: ... Heh. LUCY, YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS !! WELCOME BACK FROM THAT TIMESKIP !!!

Spirits: LET'S PARTY !!!

All: ... Eh ?

Lucy: But... The crisis of extermination ?!

Virgo: ... *Grin*

Lucy: YOU'RE KIDDING ME !!

Taurus: Ahahahaha !! Sorry to trick you. It's a surprise for you !

Caprico: We wanted to celebrate your return, and this is our plan.

Lyra: We'd like to celebrate with you all, but we're not able to go to the human realm all at once.

Aries: then we decided to bring you here with us, sorry.

Natsu: Alright, now I got your point !!

Gray: I was really shocked by your 'Crisis' thing !!

"Wow... They sure turned around real fast..."

Loki: Long time no see ! Come on, just run into my arms, Lucy !

Lucy: ... You wish.

King: COME ON !! LET'S HAVE A BIG PARTY TONIGHT !! EVERYBODY DRINKS, DANCES !! ENJOY GOOD TIME WITH OLD FRIENDS !!

Mew: ... ...

"... Yes. You can drink."

Mew: Jackpot !

Gray: How've you been ?

Loki: I'm sorry for that test.

Wendy: Thank you very much for your help the other day.

Horologium: Oh, you are welcome.

Wendy: But... I was so ashamed to take off my clothes then...

Horologium: Uh... That was...

Lucy: he said "I'm really sorry for that" !

Levy: Wow ! So wonderful ! There are so many books that I've never seen before !!

Crux: Well ! You can take one as a gift...

Levy: really ?!

Crux: ... Zzzz... Zzzz...

Levy: Fell asleep ?!!

Lucy: Don't worry, he's just thinking.

"Hum ?"

Plue: Puuuun...

"Hey there, little guy."

Plues: Puuuun, puuuun, puuuun !

"T- Too much, there's too much of them !! I'm drowning !! Too many Nikolas !!"

Gemini: Yeah, we have lots of Nikolas here.

Taurus: Erza... Moooo... Your boobs are always so beautiful...

Erza: Are they ?

Taurus: Can you open your arms to let me in ?

Erza: Why ?

Levy: I don't like that spirit..

Wendy: Me neither.

"Great Nikola army, ATTACK !!"

Plues: PUUUUUUUUN !!

Taurus: WHAT ?! IMPOssible... Blegh.

Wendy: ... What just happened ?

Natsu: Marvelous !! How yummy they are !!

Cancer: This is the crab Pestacora with stardust butter.

Aries: And this one is the lamb steak with sauce in.

Natsu: I'M SO SORRY !!

Gray: The celestial realm is so amazing...

Lucy: I was also surprised by this brilliant world. Which one is my Plue ?

"Ummm... The third one above my right ear... I think... ? Nevermind that, Nikola armor suit, ADVANCE !!"

Plues: PUUUUUUN !!

Lucy: ... When I said "Surprised" That was not what I had in mind...

King: Ahahahaha !! Certainly you should. We have plenty of friends, but you are the first guest we've invited here.

Gray: ... You know you mean a lot to us.

Juvia: HEY !! What are you doing !!

https://youtu.be/qjhrmb5AG5M

Lucy: ... Thank you, everyone... I love you all...

Erza: Um... We had a really good time.

Gray: I've had the best food in the world !

Natsu: Did you eat them ?! You really ate them ! You monster !!

Nikola: Puuuun...

"Why can't I keep one of them ?!"

Lucy: You need the key for that.

"... Ah"

King: My old friends, we are always by your side.

Lucy: Yes !!

Scorpio: We'll be your excellent partners.

Caprico: Call us anytime.

Loki: I'll go to the guild to see you.

Aries: Everybody, please take care of Lucy !

King: Great ! All the stars will bless you on your way, my dear friends !!

Erza: ... You are truly loved by all of them.

Lucy: they are all my precious friends...

"Okay. So now that we could party to our heart's content, you all know what comes next, right ?"

Natsu: OH YES !! Let's go back to continue training !!

Gray: Sure ! We must be strong enough to beat other guilds in 3 months !!

Virgo: Oh, by the way, there's one thing that I forgot to tell you. Time goes at a different pace in celestial realm.

Natsu: Wait, you mean... Like, I year here equals 1 day in the human realm ?!

Gray: Then it is a dream zone for training ?!!

Virgo: Actually it's the opposite. I day in the celestial realm equals 3 months in the human world.

All: ... ... ... Eh ?

Jet: Hey, you all ! We've been waiting for so long !

Droy: The Grand Magic Games will be held in 5 days. You must have been training very hard !

All: ... Oh my god !

Lucy: MUSTACHE BASTARD !! GIVE US BACK THE TIME !!

Mew: ... *Hips* H- hey, why ze long faaaace... ? Are... Are we gona go bak to training or wuuut ?... *Hips*

"... Yes... And I exactly know what kind of training you'll do..."

Mew: Ooo... ? H-Hey, what are you- BLUURG GLUUUUB GLUBLURG !!

"IT'S TRAINING TO EVACUATE ALCOHOL FASTER !!"

Mew: BLUGLUB... GAH !! Haa... Haa...

"Are you sober yet ?"

Mew: ... ... ... *Hips*

"... ... ..."

Mew: ... Hehe- GLURG BLUBLUUUUUB !!

Erza: ... How did we end up in this mess...

Natsu: Our precious training time...

Gray: 3 months... Just like that...

Lucy: What are we gonna do... ?

Virgo: Princess... I have a suggestion... Please, give me an even harsher punishment...

"Oooh, I'll give you a harsher one alright..."

Droy: The Grand Magic games are in just 5 days !!

Jet: We haven't increased our magic power at all !

Levy: I guess we have no choice but to let other people compete this time...

Happy: once again, the gap in power to Lily has grown...

Carla: That's what you care about ?

Erza: MMMMMGH !!! WE CAN STILL MAKE IT IF WE START NOW !! WE'RE GONNA HAVE A 5-DAY CRASH TRAINING FROM HELL !!! EVERY ONE OF YOU BETTER GET READY !! THERE WON'T EVEN BE TIME TO SLEEP !!!

"A pigeon... With a message tied to its leg..."

Erza: "To Fairy Tail... Come to the suspension bridge deep in the West Woods."

Natsu: Nobody's here... What the hell ?

"And why are you getting ready to fight ?"

Gray: Is it a prank ? I told you we shouldn't have come.

Erza: This is...

Levy: The bridge !! It's fixed ?!! It's connected to the cliff on the other side !!

"Our invitation, I presume. Let's go."

Levy: It might be a trap after all...

Wendy: i'm getting scared...

"No need to. We already saw something like that happen, haven't we ?"

Gray: ... Galuna Island...

"If this is who I think it is..."

Natsu: Are we there yet... ?

"We can't be far."

Lucy: ... Someone's here !!

Juvia: Be on your guard !!

???: ...

"... I knew it... How has life been for these last 7 years ?"

???: Better than I would expect. Thank you for coming. Fairy Tail.

"Jellal."

Jellal: You really haven't changed a bit... I don't think I had the occasion to properly thank you for "That".

Erza: ... "That" ?

Mew: We did tell you, when Jellal was taken away, that anything was possible with a bit of "Divine intervention".

"Sorry, but he needed to keep a low profile for as long as possible, so we couldn't tell you."

Natsu: You... You broke him out of jail ?

Mew: Why breaking someone out of jail ? We we can make it so they never go to jail to begin with ? Do I show them ?

"But go ahead."

Mew: Uh-Uhm...

*POOF*

???: I hereby sentence Jellal Fernandes to nothing at all, he's not guilty of anything, all those who disagree can cordially go fuck themselves !

"Please tell me you didn't really said that..."

Jellal: Well, you get the general idea...

Natsu: What ?!

"She kidnapped the real judge and took his appearance to exonerate Jellal of all his 'Crimes'."

Gray: And it worked ?!

Mew: Well, as long as they didn't discover the real judge, tied up and gagged in a closet of the tribunal. Which was long enough for everyone to flee far enough.

Ultear: We met them right as they were speeding through a forest to escape the guards.

Juvia: Meredy...

Meredy: Juvia ! it's been a while !

Juvia: 'So, she's able to have such a wonderful smile now...'

Natsu: These guys... They're Grimoire...

Gray: Wait, that makes them our enemies... isn't that right ?

Ultear: Yes. The sins I've committed throughout my life are many... Even if I spent my entire life atoning, it wouldn't be enough... So, I want to at least save as many people as I can. For example, Jellal...

Jellal: It's fine. You and I both wrestle with the darkness... This is an old story.

Erza: Jellal... How's your memory...

Jellal: It's all there. Every single detail. 6 years ago... My memory came back. Erza... I don't know what I'm supposed to say...

Ultear: I was responsible for what happened to you on Paradise Tower...

Jellal: I thought I was going to die... The death penalty was certain for me, before I escaped...

Wendy: So, does that mean you've found some reason to live now ?

Jellal: Wendy... I should tell you, the Jellal you know and me, aren't the same people.

Wendy: Ah... Yes !! I've already figured that out.

Jellal: But, a reason to live... It's not something so wonderful as that... We created a guild. It's not a legitimate guild, nor is it a dark guild... We are an independent guild... Crime Sorcière.

Levy: An independent guild ?

Droy: Wait, I've heard of them...

Jet: they've destroyed many, many dark guilds over the years...

Ultear: I have but one reason...

Jellal: Our guild is here to drive away all the evil brought into this world by dark guilds and Zeref... So that never again will dark mages like us be born...

Natsu: Whooah !!

Lucy: That sounds amazing !

Gray: But then why don't you become an official guild through the council ?

"Maybe because he's kinda still a fugitive ? And because they're former Grimoire heart member ? Just maybe ?"

Jellal: Besides, official guilds are prohibited from going after dark guilds. Our guild is fine the way it is.

Ultear: So... The reason we summoned you here was not just to introduce ourselves... We've heard that you're entering the Grand Magic Games.

"Yeeeeeah, about that... Some... Incidents, kinda threw that idea down the toilet for now..."

Ultear: The thing is, we can't come near the event grounds, so it would appear we have a favor to ask of you.

Natsu: Do you want us to sign one of you up ? We could do that for you.

Jellal: Every year, during the event... I've felt a strange magical force... I want to identify the source of that magic.

Natsu: What the heck ?

Lucy: Guilds from all over Fiore are going to be there, correct ? There's surely gonna be one or two suspicious magical forces...

Jellal: I thought that at first as well... But this magic had an evil presence to it, like Zeref's. Perhaps the presence is coming from us, since we've been so close to Zeref.

"What, you think Zeref has been watching the games, like any normal fan ?"

Mew: Zeref waving a little pennant with "Sabertooth" written on it. Now please burn that image onto your mind forever.

"Already done."

Natsu: Zeref...

Ultear: We want to know the true source of this magical force.

Jellal: from that, we might be able to track down where Zeref is.

Meredy: of course, winning or losing is a different story. We're going to be cheering on Fairy tail from the shadows. But meanwhile, please search for the mysterious magic.

Erza: It sounds like you're on a wild goose chase, but we'll help you out.

Ultear: We appreciate it.

Gray: You sure, Erza ?

Erza: I feel uneasy about a mysterious magical force in a gathering of Fiore guilds.

Ultear: We'll give you your compensation upfront.

Natsu: FOOD MONEY !

Lucy: RENT MONEY !

Mew: BOOZE MONEY !

"NO !"

*BONK*

Ultear: Err... I didn't mean money. With my new improved time arc, I can raise the level of your ability.

Natsu/Gray/Lucy: ... Eh ?

Ultear: A power-up... I guess it's fine to think of it that way, but it's a bit different. Every mage has something like a container inside them that determines the limits of their magical power. In the case that the container becomes emptied, the Eternano comes from the atmosphere and enters the body... After a while, the container is returned to normal.

Ultear: But... recent studies have identified a part of that container inside each mage that isn't normally used. A dormant potential power inside of everyone... Second origin. My time arc can evolve your containers so that they're capable of using Second origin. In other words, it will give a giant boost to your magical power, even more than any of the training you've done until now.

All: YEAAAAAAAAAHH !!

Natsu: I don't get it !

Ultear: But... You're going to have to endure pain greater than your wildest imagination.

Wendy: Aahhh...

Levi: Scary eyes...

Natsu: I DON'T CARE !! THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!! HOW CAN I THANK YOU ?! YOU'RE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A REAL WOMAN !!

Ultear: I am a woman... Can you let go... ?

"I have a keen feeling he'll regret it very soon..."
