Me and Gray were back at the guild hall, wondering how to enter. We eventually decide to enter with the cloaks still on, but the way I always did. So I kicked down the door. When the doors opened, everyone was quiet. Then Erza said, "Who are you?" Lucy said, "Those are the guys I walked here with!" Then Gramps said, "What are your names?" Me and Gray smiled. Then, Gray said, "Who do ya think Gramps?" As he said that, we tore of the cloaks.

Erza's POV:

They took off their cloaks and, "N-Natsu. Gray. Y-your back?" I had to mak esure I wasn't dreaming. "This isn't some dream right." Natsu laughed, "You bet it's us Erza." I ran u to hug them, but Laxus got in front of me, "How do we know you guys aren't impostors?" Gray said, "Well for one, we came back exactly 3 years after we left/ Second, we look like us last time I checked. Third, I called the master Gramps, which last time I checked was a thing only Fairy Tail wizards do." "Yeah. And isn't it rude to suspect your family when they've come home after 3 years?" Then Cana said, "What is oe thing that only the real Natsu and Gray would know about the guild or its members. We will believe you if you can tell us things that are guild known only." I saw Natsu and Gray look at each other. Then they nodded and went on a huge list of things only Fairy Tail mages would know. "Me and Natsu always got into fights that ended when Erxa smashed our heads together or when Gramps stopped us all, Mira is the Fairy Shipper, Erza goes crazy when it comes to strawberry cake." "Guildarts and Mystogen are never around, no on ehas seen Mystogen's face except for Gramps, Cana's one true love is alcohol." "And if the third member of this plan carried out his half, their should be a shift soon." Everyone was shocked. I don't know whu, I mean I could have told them it was them. These two idiots are brothers to me for Pete's sake! I pushed past Laxus and hugged the two mages standing in the doorway. "I'm so happy you guys are back!" I looked up at the 2 people  in front of me and they smiled. 

Natsu's Pov: 

Erza ran up and hugged us. We hugged back of course. I mean, she's our sister! Then, I heard a voice I would never forget, "NATSUUUUUUUU!" Then, we were attacked by my flying cat, Happy. "It's good to see ya agan little man! How ya been?" "Good! Erxa didn't try to kill me!" Then, a new member to the guild, Lucy I think, said, "Wait! You two are 2 of Fairy Tail's strongest wizards?" Me and Gray laughed to ourselves. 'Now THE strongest,' said Gray telepathically. "Hey. What's so funny? Did I say something?" I replied saying, "No we just remembered something funny. And I just remembered something else! MIra! You promised our favorite food when we came back!" She smiled and said, "I'm on it!"

We were about to sit down and start catching up with everyone when Gramps yelled, "Wait! Did you brats say something about a shift when you were listing off secrets?!" Me and Gray looked at each other again before I said, "Yeah! He might be back. We ran into him about a tear and a half ago while training and we told him when we'd be back. He said he'd try to be back around the same time." I looked around. Everyone was shocked and happy, but there was one confused face in the crowd. Lucy said, "Um. Am I missing something? I realize I've only been here for a few months, but what is the shift for?" As Mira was giving us our food she said, "The shift is for a who no a what. The entire city of Magnolia has a way to shift, forming a pathway straight to the guild when a certain mage comes home. He's so strong and his magic is so destructive, that we have to shift everything to make sure nothing is destroyed!" Lucy sat there, looking dumbfounded. She was about to ask who it was for, but we heard bells ringing of outside. Everyone was quiet, only for a second, but then there were loud cheers. The guild was even crazier than normal. Then, we heard the alarms, "Prepare to commence Magnolia's Guildarts shift! Citizens please take you designated positions immediately!" There was loud noises from outside. Then, the ground started shaking. Lucy, having never seen the town shift, opened the doors and watched the town move. A pathway was formed straight o the guild. Then, we could see a figure wearing all black walking down it. 

A few moments later, he stepped into the guild hall. If I remember correctly, he left about 5 months before we did. Mira cheerily said, "Welcome back Guildarts!" He smiled and said, "Hey guys! Has anyone seen Natsu and Gray?" Gray said, "We're right here Guildarts. Glad you could make it back to the guild," "There you are! How have ya been since I last saw ya?" I said, "We've been good. We were just about to start catching up with everyone when we heard the bells." Elfman then said, "Yeah! They were about to tell us how they handled their journey. Manly style!" Guildarts chuckled a little, " Ok then. Lets get some booze and talk!" 

Everyone crowded around us. Gray said, "Well, what do ya'll want to know?" Lisanna said, "Did, you guys find anyone you liked?" Me and Gray looked at each other and then back at her. I said, "Trying to take your sister's job as the Fairy Shipper huh? Well to answer the question, we didn't find someone... but at least one of her ships might happen..." A loud squeak could be heard from Mira. "Ok. What else do ya'll want to know?" Gramps said, "Well, you guys did go out to train for 3 years. How much stronger are you brats?" Me and Gray looked at each other. 'Shit! We didn't even think about the most obvious question they would ask! What do we tell them?' I asked Gray. 'I got this.' "We got a whole lot stronger during the 3 years we were out. First 6 months we focused on physical training. Then we worked on our magic for most of the 2 1/2 years we had left, but we also did physical stuff too." Erza said, "Good to know you also did physical training. Especially since most of Natsu's magic is physical attacks." The Lucy said, "Wait. What kind of magic do ya'll use anyway? You never said ya'll were mages in Hargeon." I said, " I'm a fire dragon slayer. And the stripper is an ice make mage." "Stripper!? Who are you calling stripper Flame-for-Brains?" Cana the shouted, "GRAY! YOUR CLOTHES!" He looked down, Oh crap! When did I even take them off?" Everyone laughed. Erza said, "Good to see your time away hasn't changed you guys much." I laughed at that, "Much? We haven't changed at all! While we were training, he was always losing his clothes. Not to mention we still got into our name calling and brawls almost everyday. And I'm not talking about sparring. I mean like we did in the guild hall." "Well no the are really going to see that nothing has changed!" Gray came running at me, about to punch me. I grabbed his fist, "Gray! What did we say about fights in the guild hall?" "Right. Don't do it unless we want ti pay for a new guild..." After he said that, everyone looked at us like we had three heads or something. Levy said, "W-wait. If you 2 were to fight in the guild... y-you would destroy it?" We just nodded our heads. "Lets take the fight outside Pinkie!" "You're on Popcicle." Gramps then said, "At least the are taking it outside. Ok! Everyone outside! We are going to watch their new power in action!"

Erza's POV:

We all went outside per Master's orders. We went around back and saw the mages on oposite sides, about to start. Guildarts stepped forward, acting as referee I suppose. "Ok! When I say so, start. Don't try and kill each other. Also, pleas don't go all out... that would be terrible." When Guildarts said that, we were all shocked. Master Makarov said, "You've seen them fight Guildarts?" "Yeah. When I ran into the on the road. They both asked to fight me. So me and Gray fought. He pushed be back about 13 feet from where I started with one attack." We were all speechless. It was nearly impossible to move him and inch! Natsu and Gray simultaneously yelled, "Yeah, yeah. We won't destroy everything this time Mr. I'm Going to Demolish a Mountain." "Oh shut up. That's all I have to say. Fight how you would normally." The two mages began releasing huge waves of magic pressure. You could see the colors of their elements surrounding them. They were also standing on magic circle that corresponded with their magic. 'Holy cow. Their releasing a lot of power. I have a feeling this is still nowhere near what the are really capable of though.' The Guildarts said, "Ready. Set. Fight!"

With that, the two mages, charged at each other at incredible speeds. It seemed like a normal physical battle for a while, but no one was getting hit. All of the attacks were either blocked by the other or dodged. They leapt back after a while. Then they began releasing magic power once again. "Fire Dragon: Iron Fist!" "Ice Make: Seven Strike Dance!" Fire surrounded Natsu's fists and red ice surrounded Gray's ellbows and forearms forming spikes. Both attacks collided, a never ending barrage of attacks form both sides. The fight kept on for a while. At one point all you could see were the explosions form when their magic collided. After about 15 minutes, the two jumped back to their starting positions. They walked towards us again, signalling their display of strength was over. We were all standing there, mouths hanging open and eyes wide. 

Gray's POV:

'I guess what we showed them wasn't what the were expecting.' Then, Natsu said, "What's happened around here while we've been gone? We didn't hear much news since we were in forests and mountains most of the time." I nodded, agreeing with what he said. Happy said, "You guys didn't hear?" I said, "About what?" Then Laxus said, "Jeez. I though news this big would be everywhere by now. There are two new wizard saints. Both stronger than God Serena. They hold the number 1 and 2 spot, but the council and other saints say they are equally strong." Mira then said, "No one know who they really are though. Only the Wizard Saints and Magic Council members who were there the day they joined the ten know who they are. Master wasn't there, so he doesn't even know who they are." Me and Natsu looked at each other, know who they were talking about. We gave each other a small smile before I said, "What name does everyone know them by. I mean they have to have some sort of alias right?" Gramps nodded and said, "They are known as Fuyu and Kasai. Winter and Fire. Jura said their names make sense considering their magic." We nodded. Everyone was heading back inside. 'Gray, do you think we should tell Gramps? And I mean only him. We can tell the others later' 'Yeah I guess. I mean he is the only wizard saint who doesn't know.' "Hey Gramps! We want to talk to you!" Master Makarov walked back towards us. "Yes, what is it?" I started, "Well, ya see, we have something to tell you..." "Ok then, What is it?" Natsu said, "Well uh, you see... we are Fuyu and Kasai... so... surprise!" Gramps was standing their, mouth literally touching the ground. "Wha-Ho-Whe-... WHAT!?" "SHHHH! Keep it down. We don't want everyone knowing." "Yeah! You're the first person we've told." He stared at us again. "W-Why wasn't I informed about this immediately!?" "You would have told all of Fiore!" yelled Natsu. Then I said, "Now that you know, please don't tell a soul. We don't really want people knowing it's us." He slowly nodded his head. 

We went back into the guild hall and sat down wit Erza. She said, "I guess the team's back together." Happy flew onto her head yelling, "AYE SIR!" Me and Natsu laughed. Era then said," Want to go on a mission as 'Team Natsu' again?" Natsu said, "Hell yeah! I'm all fired up!" Then I asked, "Can you go get a mission for the second floor? We can't go up there yet and we want to do a more challenging mission than what's on the request board." She smiled. My guess was she already knew we were going to ask that. "Sure. Just wait right here. I'll go find a mission." 

We were waiting for about 5 minutes when she came back. She showed us the request. It said we had to destroy a dark guild and bring it's member's to the magic council. It also said if we have now choice, to kill them. Which we all hoped wouldn't happen. The reward was 3,000,000 Jewel. Me and Natsu agreed. Just as we were about to ask the Master if we could take the job, Lucy came over and said, "Hey guys! Wanna go on a mission together?" The four of us, including Happy, looked at each other then back at Lucy. Happy said, "A-actually Lucy... We were about to go on a job together." Then she said, "Ok then. Could I join ya'll?" Once again, we all looked at each other again. 'Well this is akward...' 'Yeah. She isn't coming. I bet she couldn't even lift 50 pounds. What do you think Gray?' 'I agreed. I don't think she should come along. She will probably drag us all down anyway...' Erza must have been thinking the same thing as us. She said, "Uh, sorry Lucy, but it's an S-Class mission. I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I don't think you could handle it." Lucy looked disappointed to hear that. Then her face lit up. She said "I know. Would you let me go if Master Makarov was ok with it?" Natsu sighed and said, "We wouldn't be able to turn down an 'order' for Gramps. He is the guild master after all." "Great! I'll go with you when you ask to take the mission."

We walked up to Gramps and Erza said, "Master, we would like to take this mission." He looked up from his drink, looked up at the paper, then at the group. He said, "You, Gray, Natsu, and Happy can take the mission." Then Lucy said, "Um, excuse me Master, but what about me?" He sighed and said, "Lucy, This is an S-Class mission and you're not an S-Class wizard yet. I don't want you going." She retaliated, "Ho is that fair?! In the group, only Erza is S-Class! So why can they go?" He sighed once again and said, "Lucy, I'm not trying to be rude, but you have very little experience and are nowhere near the strength of the mages taking the quest. Natsu and Gray can go because they have worked with Erza before. Not to mention they are also strong enough to be S-Class mages. The only reason they aren't is because they have missed the last 3 S-Class trials. And Happy can go because he is Natsu's partner and has gone along with the others before. Now I will say it again. I do not want you going on this mission! Do I make myself clear?!" "Y-yes." 

We said our goodbyes, saying we'd be back as soon as we could. We went off to our homes to pack our bags and met up at the train station. We boarded the train and started our trip to the small town near Crocus.

Hello! Chapter 2 is done!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I am sorry to all the Lucy lovers out there... but she won't be a part of Team Natsu for the time being. I don't know if she will ever be on the team ever, but she will not be for a while if that is the case...

Thank you so much for reading this Chapter! I will post again when I can!

Until next time, Sayonara!
