What was once a sad past has now turned into a
Strong bond!!!

=======

"Oh my... Lady Brandish looking wonderful as always!~~" Marin complimented. Brandish then put one of her foot down and asked, "Could you do this side for me then?" Being his joyful personality, he agreed. "Why of course please, let me paint them with as much love and care as possible... Such beautiful legs... But before that, May I ask to be returned to my original size?" Marin asked.

"Randy~" Di Maria said. "Marie..." Brandish said as Dimarie entered. "I heard you let some mice escape." Di Maria said, smirking. Brandish signed. "I didn't let them escape... It was a pain so I didn't bother stopping them." She then picked up her magazine and started to read it. "Oh, I did tell here you know!!" Marin smiled. " Ah... You're looking great too Lady Di Maria."

"Return him to his normal size won't you... It's disgusting having to feel like I'm talking to a bug."Di Maria said, getting Marin's attention. "Uh, such a pain..." Brandish said, as she continued to read her magazine. "Don't say that!!"  Marin jumped. "But you need him, Don't you?" Di Maria said as she backed Up. "The Spriggan 12 have seen summoned. We're gonna need his magic too, so bring him along." Then Di Maria shut the door.

Brandish took a moment to herself, looking at the door Di Maria had just shut. Brandish then got Marin around her toes trapping him. "Wh-What... Lady Brandish!!" Marin tried to shake him out of her toes but failed. Brandish then lifted up her toes. "I hate her. She's so uncute. In your words..."She fails." Brandish said, looking at Marin.

_-Fairy Tail Guild-_

"And?" Lucy asked. "What's that plan you're going on about?" Erza asked, wanting to know whats Natsu's solution. "It's a secret. That's why it's called a secret plan."" Natsu smiled with stars in his eyes. The men got angered by this causing a fight.

"QUIT WASTING TIME!!!" Gray yelled, punching Natsu. It seems that everyone wants to know what Natsu's solution/secret. "WHAT HAVE YOU GOT HIDDEN IN THAT ARM!!!" Elfman tried to remove the bandage around Natu's arm. "URGH I NEED TO KNOW!!"

"Hey (Y/N)." Lucy asked, getting 's attention from the fighting. "Yeah?" (Y/N) Asked. "Do you know what Natsu secret is since you guys both are going to take down Zeref?" Lucy asked, hoping to get a answer. "To be honest... I kind of think I do and don't know what he is talking about so I don't know." (Y/N) replied. Lucy then signed.

"But I'm sure it's something really powerful, if Natsu-San's so confident about it..." Wendy said.

"Hehe." Happy laughed. It was quite obvious he knew what it was. "Hmm... You know what the secret is, Don't you?" Pantherlily asked. "Well, sure..." Happy smiled. "It's not like you're the one with the secret... What's with that face?" Carla asked.

"Anyway I can only use this once. But it's something I created to talk Zeref down... And I'm certain I can!!!" Natsu smiled. (Y/N) widen her eyes. 'He's going to use that Dragon Art he was talking about?! Being the Natsu he is, I didn't actually think he was going to use it. From what Igneel said, it was powerfully. I see why Natsu would use it...'

=========

Mavis tells everybody that she has some plans too, but would believe in Natsu and (Y/N) for the moment. Makarov then reveals all the information he has about their opponents.

Simultaneously, at the gathering of the Shields of Spriggan, Zeref commends the seven who heeded his summons. Invel condemns the people who are absent, but Ajeel says that the discussion would be easier with fewer people. Zeref then states that they will finally begin their assault on Ishgar, a task which Brandish finds particularly troublesome but unavoidable as it is her leader's command. Her lethargy is chided by Dimaria, a female knight who does not need Magic to win her battles. Zeref then asks God Serena for his opinion, with the quirky Mage stating that he has no objections.

Finally, August, whom according to Makarov possesses more types of Magic than Zeref himself, states that the Alvarez Empire is ready for Ragnarok. Wahl Icht reproaches Zeref for his selfish motive of trying to recover his former lover's body, but is told that Fairy Heart is a Magic and that Zeref's main motive is the destruction of mankind. As the Spriggan Twelve accept their roles as Zeref's pawns, Makarov reveals the names of two more members of this elite force, Bradman and Neinhart.

While Fairy Tail and the Alvarez Empire start to plan their next move, atop a lonely mountain, Acnologia resolves to take part in the Dragon King Festival.

++==

After Fairy Tail's discussion about how to counter the Alvarez Empire, Lucy returns home and ponders about the Guild's current predicament. Her musings are interrupted by Natsu and Happy, who inform her that Magnolia's evacuation has been completed.

As they attempt to make her play a game with them, she reminds them of the gravity of their situation, but Natsu states that he knows it all too well, explaining that he loves competitions, not mortal combat. He then optimistically states that he will live for the future, with Lucy agreeing.

In the Fairy Hills bathhouse, though, Wendy and Erza also discuss about the upcoming war and promise each other to protect their comrades.

Meanwhile, while he gazes on the empty town, Gray is approached by Juvia. He thanks her for always being by his side and also swears to give her an answer concerning their relationship after the war, but asks her not to disturb him until then. (GRUVIAAAAAA FOR DA WIN!!!!!!!!!!! GRUVIA GRUVIA GRUVIA GRUVIAAAAAAAAAA. :) Sorry... Back to da story)

Meanwhile, (Y/N) was talking to Kiriko and Shion about what was going on and about the dangers of war. (Y/N) had contacted a village (Anju's. Remember Anju??) and asked if it was ok to take care of Kiriko because of the war. Since they had agreed , (Y/N) was taking Kiriko there. (Y/N) had already contacted Sting about where the location Kiriko was and what was going on.

"(Y/N) what is going to happen? I'm kind of scared..." Shion said, startled. (Y/N) noticed this then smiled, "Don't worry Shion. I'll be there to protect you."

Makarov asks Warren about their environs, with the latter having set up a Super Radar in the guild. They are then interrupted by Mavis, who reveals that she was flying around the town and peeping on the guild members' conversations.

When she mentions that they seem to be quite confident, Makarov disagrees as he thinks that they are just believing in the power of their unity and putting up a brave front. But he finds nothing wrong with this attitude, saying that he will be present to support them should they ever falter.

Suddenly, however, the Fairy Tail Mages sense the approach of an unknown force. Warren's radar shows that the town is being attacked by a huge force, turning out to be a huge fleet of airships, headed by Ajeel Ramal.

"RING THE BELLS!!! THE ENEMY IS COMING!!! THERE ARE ABOUT 50 SHIPS IN THE SKIES WEST OF HERE!!!" Mavis yelled.

'SHIT!!!!!' (Y/N) talked to Kiriko and Shion for so long.

"Ok. Shion I want you to stay here. I have to go and take Kiriko to a safe place. Don't worry I'll be back in a flash." Shion nodded as (Y/N) went to go talk to Mavis.

"First Master! I will be back as soon as possible, I need to take Kiriko to a safe place!!!" (Y/N) said. Mavis then looked at (Y/N). "Ok, but please be careful (Y/N)."

(Y/N) then nodded and carried Kiriko. Since (Y/N) had an extreme amount of power and since the adrenaline was running through her blood, she made it to Anju's village in no time.

"(Y/N)!" Anju smiled. "Hey Anju, I wish I could stay, but war is about to start and I need to get back. thank you so much for taking care of Kiriko!" (Y/N Smiled.

"No problem (Y/N)!" Anju said. "Be careful and good luck!"" Anju said as (Y/N) sped off back to Fairy Tail.

"Is mommy and daddy going to be ok?"" Kiriko asked, tears threatened to fall from her eyes. "Yes, Your mummy and daddy are going to be alright. They are strong!" Anju posed making Kiriko giggle.

"No come on! There's a lot of people I want you to meet!!" Anju smiled. "Ok!" Kiriko smiled.

=============

'F**k!!! I hope I'm not too late!'

(Y/N) then looked up to see Natsu in the sky with Gajeel, Wendy, and The Exceeds. (4)

With her flying abilities, she flew to Natsu. "Oi, Natsu! What's going on?"" (Y/N) asked, Gajeel then looked at (Y/N) surprisingly.

"What the hell?! You can fly?!" Gajeel yelled. "No Gajeel, your dreaming." Carla said.

"I see." Gajeel said, defeated.

Who knew a exceed could use sarcasm.

"Oh (Y/N)! Shion, she's here!" Natsu said. Then a certain exceed flew to (Y/N). "(Y/N)!!"

"Now let's fight!" Natsu yelled.

====

"Uh, sir. We lost Number 4!!!"

"WHAT?!"

"Enter Team Flying Dragon!!!!!" Natsu yelled.

"That brat..."

=========

As Team Flying Dragon fought, they finally had settle down into the ships. Then in a flash, their motion sickness came to them.

"WHAT THE!!!" Ajeel said in shock.

'What the hell?!' (Y/N) thought in her mind. 'I-I Can't even get motion sickness. So why am I like this?!' (Y/N) said as she was on the floor, trying not to puke.

(I'm going to change some things~~ MWHAHAHAHA-Gomenasai)

"So you're the female salamander..." Ajeel grabbed (Y/N) by the neck/scarf. "Agh" (Y/N) couldn't speak because of this sickness and his grip on the scarf.

Natsu was starting to boil because of this.

"It's funny how your brother did a grand speech back in Alvarez and this is all he got through... What a joke..." Ajeel said.

"B-ba" (Y/N) tried to speak.

"Hm?"

"Bastard!" (Y/N) Got herself together and punched Ajeel, making him back up.

Just then Erza came, ripping their ship in half, and saving her comrades.

"Carla, Pantherlily, Happy, Shion... Take care of them." Erza said before going into battle.

=======

While Erza faces Ajeel, the Flying Dragon Squad heads off to confront the Ajeel Squad. But, thanks to Bisca taking out most of Ajeel's fleet, Freed is now able to maintain his barrier without much trouble.

But the situation soon starts heading downhill. In her battle against Ajeel, Erza soon finds herself outmatched.

Simultaneously, Freed's barrier is compromised and Wahl enters Magnolia with his own team. Fairy Tail immediately mobilizes the rest of its forces. In her apartment, Lucy gets ready to join the battle, but notices a strange presence in her bathroom. She enters it to discover Brandish and Marin, the former nonchalantly taking a bath.

========

"You guys... I'll be right back. I'm gonna go back to the guild to see what's up." (Y/N) asked.

"Alright, but be careful. Who knows what shit will come up." Gajeel said. (Y/N) then nodded and Shion flew back to the guild along with (Y/N).

=====

In the Guild building, Warren informs Makarov and Mavis of the presence of the three Shields of Spriggan.

But the situation becomes even more dire as the Magic Radar signals the approach of three more armies from three different directions, completely surrounding Magnolia.

To make matters worse, each is accompanied by three Shields. As she realizes that Fairy Tail will have to face the combined might of the Spriggan 12, Mavis begins to despair.

"What?! 1 million?!"" (Y/N) Yelled. "That isn't possible?!"

Warren looked at her nodding. (Y/N) then noticed that he was crying.

"Don't worry, guys. We will get through this!!"

=============

(Y/N) then went back with Natsu to see a battle.

"Shion! Go with Happy, Carla, and Pantherlily!" Shion then nodded and flew off.

Then attackers jumped to attack (Y/N) only to be defeated when (Y/N) just yelled out a simple Fire Dragon Roar.

"No."

===========

Meanwhile, inside the city, Gray and Juvia prevent Wahl's squad from advancing further, They are soon aided by the Strauss sibling, Mirajane revealing that she saved Seilah by absorbing her, also allowing her to use the Demon's Curse, Macro, freely.

Aboard Ajeel's flagship, Erza is completely outmatched by her opponent, also finding herself unable to use Requip. Realizing her dire condition, Mavis tries to have Warren contact the Osprey Squad, only to find the Mage too devastated by their situation to obey. But Max scolds Warren and manages to drag him out of his despair, allowing Mavis to communicate with her subordinates.

Simultaneously, Lucy finds Brandish in her bath. The Shield of Spriggan invites the Fairy Tail Mage to join her, but she is rejected. She then threatens Lucy by claiming that she could shrink Magnolia in an instant, forcing the girl to enter the bath.

Big time skip

"Where the hell is Natsu and (Y/N) going?!"

===================

"IT'S TIME WE FINISH THIS DANCE, ZEREF!!!!" Both siblings had said, All of their anger released upon them.

==================

Back at the guild, there were commotion due to the fact that both Natsu and (Y/N) are going to versus Zeref. Gray doesn't believe in them as much as Erza does.

"Let's just believe in them shall we, Gray?" Mavis asked.

"Gray-Sama's worried for Natsu and (Y/N)-San..." Juvia said.

"Well (Y/N) and Natsu are not really alone are they... Happy, and Shion are there with them." Carla said.

===============================

"Natsu, (Y/N) I think I can see them from here..." Happy said.

"Yeah..."

"That really is is a big number of people." Shion commented.

"It's like we're looking at a black carpet." Happy said.

"Alright. Here we go..."
