* *: Narrator/Voice-off

Your POV:

Citizens: They're saying that when we were being evacuated, dragons attacked !

Citizen: Yeah right, what a load of crap.

Citizen: There was a lot of witnesses though. So it wasn't a mage's magic that did all this, then ? By the way, isn't today the day the mages have that big shindig at the castle ? Damn, I'm so jealous of them !

Arcadios: Up until now, we've never invited a single mage into the castle. But just this once... Let's make an exception and celebrate. It's the after party for the Grand Magic Games !

Lucy: Wow !! Amazing...

Gray: That suit looks really bad on you.

Gajeel: At least I'm wearing clothes.

"All the guilds gathered together like that... But I feel like something's missing..."

Erza: ... Wasn't Natsu with you ?

"No... And I haven't seen him around lately, now that I think about it..."

Mew: To think the king invited us all here... He really isn't scared of a few broken pots.

Ichiya: So this is what it's like to join the cultured and sophisticated...~

Trimens: We're kings, for tonight !

Ichiya: Gentlemen, play "That song" in B flat.~

Musicians: "That song" ?! Eh ? What's that ?!

Cana: Bring on the booze !!

Macao: Cana ! Need I remind you, we're inside the castle !

Bacchus: Heh. Wanna go at it again ?

Cana: Sounds good, but I'm warning ya, I ain't losing this time.

Cerberus: WILD !!

Makarov: Who would have thought the day would come when we'd be invited into the castle ?

Yajima: I guess there is some merit to living a long life.

Lucy: Hm ? Ah ! Princess Hisui !

Hisui: Lucy ! I knew you seemed familiar ! You're the Heartfilia group's...

Lucy: Ahaha... That... Was a long time ago...

Hisui: The truth is, I was friends with your father. Even though I've been under his care for quite some time... I've brought you nothing but trouble.

Lucy: I'm a mage at a guild, so trouble has become my middle name.

Hisui: ... That reminds me, where's the young man with the crimson hair ?

Lucy: Good question... I have no idea.

Juvia: Gray-Sama, I've been upgraded to Juvia 2.0.

Gray: Since when were you some kind of machine...

Juvia: From this point onward, Juvia's going to enter a new age ! Gray-Sama, I love you !

Gray: No thanks. I'm entering a new age too. I've got to clearly lay out the things that I don't like.

Juvia: Mmmmmmm~... I love it when you toy with Juvia's affection, Gray-Sama !

Gray: Damn, this new version is even crazier !!

Lyon: Don't say that, Gray. I've finally realized today... That Juvia's heart doesn't have room for me in it.

Yuka/Toby: Took you long enough.

Gray: Still... Where is that damned Natsu ?

Juvia: It's not like him not to be where all the action is...

Wendy: Ah ! Look Sherria ! It's practically like a gem !

Sherria: So pretty. I wonder what it tastes like ?

Both: ... Delicious~ !

Mavis: It does look good...

Wendy: FIRST ?!

Sherria: Hm? Is something wrong ?

Wendy: N- Not really...

Mavis: I want some too~...

*Can't be seen by anyone other than Fairy Tail members*

Wendy: Please try and show some restraint... You are a ghost, after all. By the way, have you seen Natsu ?

Mavis: No.

Wendy: That's strange... He usually stands out like a sore thumb in moments like these.

Sherria: Wendy ! I feel something strange here ! Help !!

Mavis: Pudding...~

Bickslow: Natsu isn't here ?

Evergreen: Normally he should be causing a ruckus and making a mess...

Laxus: This is rare.

Chicks: Laxus-sama~... Check out those muscles...

Freed: OI !! Keep your distances from Laxus !!

Kagura: I told you... This doesn't suit me...

Risley: Nonsense, it fits you perfectly ! Looks like Kagura is going to give us a run for our money...

Erza: How are your wounds, Kagura ?

Kagura: I could ask you the same.

Erza: I know a lot has happened, but it would mean a great deal to me if we could become friends. We are... From the same hometown and...

Kagura: I refuse. I'd... prefer it if... You could be my... Big sister...

Erza: ... My my... You're simply just way too adorable !

Kagura: AH ! I- It was a joke !!

Risley: Ahaha ! It turns out Kagura's just a kid at heart after all.

Erza: And finally...

*PLOP*

Erza: ... ... ... Uh... ...

"... ... What happened ? Erza, what did you... ? I was at the buffet just now, you know ?"

Erza: Um, sorry...

Kagura: You... You are the one, at the tower of Heaven...

"Hm ?"

Kagura: You saved Simon and vanquished Jellal... Yet, you helped him when he was getting judged for his crimes, and fought by his side... You know what he did, so why... How could you forgive him ?!

"Allow me to answer your question... By another question. What would you do if the person you deemed to be the cause of all your misery ended up being just as manipulated as you were ? Who do you think should you focus your anger on ?"

Kagura: T... This is...

"This is an endless cycle. Trying to find the true cause is just as pointless and meaningless as trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. And I've had my fair share of grudges held."

Kagura: ... Then what should I do... I've lived for taking revenge on Jellal...

"Don't you think you've got better things to do now ? I believe someone is waiting for you out there, isn't he ? Or did Millianna not tell you ?"

Kagura: ... *Sob*

Erza: ... You should leave her some time. This isn't the kind of wound that can heal itself so easily.

"We're both well aware of that. But that reminds me, Happy, do you have any idea where Natsu could be ?"

Happy: I don't know.

Erza: For him not to shop up here... Did something happen ?

Gajeel: That was weird... He was here, and when I blinked he was gone...

Sting: Natsu !! Let's have a drink !

Lector: Let's do this, Natsu !

Gajeel: Salamander ain't here.

Sting: What ?! I was about to put a seal on him to close the gap between us !

Lector: Houston, we have a problem.

Frosch: Fro thinks so too.

Gajeel: So about that guy that came here from the future...

Rogue: Truth be told, I'm as clueless as you are. But, I won't turn into him. I definitely won't.

Frosch: Fro too !

Sting: I'll settle for Gajeel then ! Let's drink !

Gajeel: Settle ? I have this urge to smack you.

Lector: He's quite the unruly one, so please be friends with him.

Orga: Looks like he's lightened up quite a bit.

Rufus: I have no records of this Sting in my memory.

Frosch: Yukino !

Yukino: A- Apologies... I shouldn't have come here after all...

Sting: Wait !! I'm sorry... I didn't know you were here... Master and the young lady have both vanished.

Yukino: Eh ?

Sting: We're going to start over from scratch, and rebuild Sabertooth from the ground up... You know, we've been quite... Cold towards you. But we're going to become a guild that treasures and values our comrades from now on.

Yukino: Why are you telling me all this ?

Sting: We want you back... I guess that's kinda how it is if we go with the flow..

Kagura: Of course that's how you'd want the flow to go !

Yukino: K- Kagura ?!

Kagura: Yukino's life belongs to me ! She's Mermaid Heel property now ! I won't stand for any back talk on that matter !

Sabertooth: WHAT ?!

Yukino: Eh... EH ?!!

Sting: You're drunk as hell !

Kagura: Shaddup ! Yukino's mermaid Heel's now !

Erza: PLEASE WAIT A SECOND ! We can't just sit idly by on this...

Lucy: that's right ! If you want to follow the flow, then she should join us !

Gray: Yup.

Juvia: Though Juvia thinks Gray-Sama doesn't need any more women leering at him...

Lisanna: Though we're basically the same character...

Yukino: Even Fairy Tail...

Eve: No no... A pretty lady such as yourself...

Hibiki: Should enter our very Blue Pegasus.

Ren: You'll shine.

Jenny: Please, come over.

Ichiya: What a beautiful and forlorn perfume~.

Lyon: In that case, Lamia scale's gonna weight in on this Yukino debate as well.

Jura: This isn't going to end well.

Toby: GET OVER HERE !!

Yuka: try and maintain your composure.

Bacchus: You can be the lone flower in this guild of men !

Cerberus: We don't care about the tournament, but we refuse to lose this battle !!

Yukino: Wa- Wait, please...

Makarov: Bring it on.

Goldmine: Now is the perfect time.

Babasama: Spin.

Bob: This really brings me back...

Wendy: Even the masters... What should we do...

Mew: With how things are going, I suggest hiding under a table.

Sherria: It's love, isn't it ?

"Umm... If I can say something..."

All: What ?

"... Why don't we just let Yukino decide by herself ?"

All: ... ... ... ...

https://youtu.be/sz705oAelB0

All: ALL RIGHT !! TAKE THIS !! DAMNED IDIOTS !! YOU GODDAMN BASTARDS ! TAKE THIS ! PULL MAKAROV'S HAIR ! That's just mean. FINISH HIM !! OLD HAG, DON'T STRIP ! IT'S A BRAWL !!

"... I think you should take on that offer of hiding."

Wendy: And you ?

"... I am a mage of Fairy Tail. And a mage of Fairy tail... Oh, screw this, YOU GUYS WAIT FOR ME !!"

Yukino: ... ... ...

Mirajane: Don't cry...

Yukino: But... Even if it's just a lie... I've never been happier...

Mirajane: You've finally managed to smile. You've got so many places you can call home now.

Yukino: Yes...

Arcadios: THAT'S ENOUGH !! His majesty has arrived !

All: ... ... ...

Arcadios: For your bravery in the Grand Magic Games, and for saving this country from mortal danger. His majesty has come here in person, let that sink into your very hearts.

Asuka: Hi, mister king !

Bisca: Shhh...

Lucy: ... ... Uh...

Natsu: WHAT'S UP BITCHES ?!! LET'S CRANK THIS UP A NOTCH !!

Mato: Give that back, pumpkin !!

Natsu: ALL HAIL KING NATSU !! NEW RULER OF FIORE !!

Arcadios: .. Hungry wolf knights... get him.

Knights: Sorry, but this is just too much. You're asking the impossible.

Makarov: ... Agahga...

Mato: Give it back, pumpkin ! Give it, pumpkin !

Lucy: he's always crossing the line...

Natsu: Take the stick out your asses... Since we won, I'll be king and you can all be my subordinates- BUGARF !!

"i swear, you never learn, do you, Natsu ?"

Natsu: Gh... take a joke, asshole !

"A joke... Oh, I see. It seems you're mistaking things. I wasn't trying to stop you. Well, not exactly."

Mew: ... I don't like the sound of that...

"This... IS A COUP D'ETAT !! YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO PROTECT THAT CROWN, SO IT'S ALL MINE NOW !! BOW DOWN TO YOU NEW KING, YOU PEASANT !!"

Natsu: WHAT ?!

Erza: Of course he would do that...

Mew: Goddamn it...

Natsu: Gh... GIVE IT BACK !!

"OVER MY DEAD BODY !! JUST WAIT, I'LL MAKE YOU MY ROYAL BUFFOON IN NO TIME !!"

Natsu: NOT IF I THROW YOU IN A DUNGEON FIRST !!

Arcadios: I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU KIDS BICKERING !!

Gray: So, um... What do we do ?

Mew: We go with the flow ?

Gajeel: Sounds good to me. Bring it on !!

*This day would later be known as the "Monstrous banquet"*
