“There seems to be a wide gap between our necessities”, a man smirked as he bowed his head.

“Ever since Advent Ghoul was discovered, we’ve been threatened by the Council”, a woman said.

“Reimonbeth is an idiot. Guilds such as ours were meant to be hidden from the Council. We shouldn’t exist on their awareness”, another man scowled.

“We must have Advent Ghoul responsible for endangering us!”, an old man screeched.

“The Ballam Alliance is nothing for us. We don’t have to be affected by their discovery. We must recruit more powerful wizards”, another said.

“How can we do that? Most of them prefer official guilds”, a woman answered.

“True. Only with Celestial Magic can we get enormous amount of possibilities against anyone. If we cannot have powerful wizards, we must take some from official guilds without them knowing”, a man confidently said.

“Impossible! Haven’t you heard what they can do?”, a woman asked.

“Where did Advent Ghoul attacked? What city did they give trouble this time? They fought a very powerful group of wizards, right? We can have them all”, a man said.

“Looks like they did it in Fiore where everything started. That’s the capitol for the Council and the Ballam Alliance. It seems they did a very good job testing them too”, another man replied.

“It’s fun to ask a war against them. Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, Blue Pegasus, Quatro Cerberus, and then…..Fairy Tail”, a hoarse voice said.

“Those were the guilds that participated the Grand Magic games right?”, a woman smiled from the darkness. “I heard that’s where they used the Eclipse gate that made dragons appear from 400 years ago”

“What? Eclipse?”, another woman asked with surprise.

“Yeah, that gate can connect to a time continuum. I heard they used celestial keys to open it”, a man replied.

“WHAT?! Celestial Keys?!”, their leader asked.

“Yeah. A woman of an official guild has ten of them. We don’t know her name but…I think they’re strong…her guild I mean”, another woman said.

“We can take them all out”, a man smirked.

“We can’t. Those guilds are powerful enough to stop Advent Ghoul”, a woman said.

“As a guild or a group yes, we might have some problems. But, we’ll take them by surprise. That’s what our alliance specializes right? We’re a group from darkness. We nestle in the shadows”, said a man.

“This will be very interesting. Why don’t we take them all one by one?”, a man grinned.

“We’ll send them a proper introduction of the Galion Alliance. We, an association of independent dark guilds, will take Fiore to the ground”, they all laughed.

“Have you heard? A wizard from Sabertooth vanished without a trace”, some of the crowd were gossiping.

“Yeah, they said he’s on a mission too”

“Weren’t three wizards missing just a week before? I heard they were from Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale”

“And Mermaid Heel’s member has gone missing just yesterday”

“Do you think something bad is happening? Why are wizards in Fiore vanishing one by one?”

“I don’t know, I’m scared. My brother is a wizard in Lamia Scale, who knows, maybe he’s targeted too”

“We must ask the Council for help”, the woman ended the conversation.

“Hey Natsu”, Happy apprehended.

“I know, it’s really getting worse”, Natsu replied.

“Let’s go back to the guild”, Lucy said worriedly.

Fairy Tail Guild…..

“Mira!”, Lucy greeted.

“Ah Lucy! How’s your mission?”, Mirajane smiled at them.

“Its fine, I guess? Where’s the Master?”, Lucy asked.

“He’s been ordered to attend a meeting. Looks like things aren’t going well with all those wizards vanishing”, Mira said.

“Hmm? Is that so?”, Lucy said.

“Good thing though….none of our friends seems to….”, Mira’s words were cut off when the doors opened with a loud banging sound.

“We have a problem!”, Max returned panting with a  panicked expression. His clothes were tattered and dishevelled.

“What is it? What happened to you?”, Natsu and the others came to help him stand.

“It’s terrible”, Max said with fear. He’s covered with wounds and bruises.

“Wendy!”, Lucy alerted. Wendy nodded as she slumped to the ground and started healing some of Max’s wounds.

“Hey, where’s Laki? She’s with you right?”, Warren asked.

“She…she was….she was taken!”, Max exclaimed as he gripped Warren’s shirt.

“WHAT? HOW!!!”, the guild was in a total chaos, they wanted to hear what happened.

“There are…numerous people…I never felt this scared in my life……Laki….she protected me….I tried to help her….they were too many….their magic is really…frightening”, Max cried out.

“Do you think…”, Lucy started.

“Yeah, whoever took Laki must have something to do with all the missing wizards”, Erza finished.

“We must tell the Master about this”, Mirajane said.

“Then, we have no other choice but to ask six official guilds in the Ballam Alliance who participated the Grand Magic games to handle this matter”, Doranbolt announced.

“This is getting out of hand”, Master Makarov said.

“Yeah, I can’t believe this is happening”, Bob was worried too.

“Things are getting really edgy here”, Sting grinned.

“So we have to become allies and assign ten representatives for this mission?”, Ooba said with her spinning finger.

“Looks like we don’t have anything else to do. This will keep my members busy”, Goldmine smirked.

“Hey Makarov-san, will you assign Natsu to be one of your representatives?”, Sting asked.

“I see no problem with it. Natsu will definitely be helpful for this”, Makarov replied.

“Good, this might be a good time to test our strength as allies”, Sting raised his fist with excitement.

“Young people these days are too energetic”, Bob said.

“I can’t say you’re wrong about that”, Goldmine agreed.

When they had a plan, the guild masters headed out the door.

“Makarov-san”, Doranbolt apprehended Makarov before he managed to get out the door.

“What is it?”, he asked.

“There’s something I have to ask of you”, Doranbolt looked at him with urgency.

____________________________________________________________

“Master!”, Fairy Tail all gathered around him as welcoming party for him. He arrived in Fairy Tail with Gajeel beside him. “Have you heard what happened?”

“Gajeel already told me”, Master Makarov nodded with sadness.

“What should we do now?”, Erza asked.

“About that, the Council has decided to assign representatives to handle the threatening guild doing this”, Master Makarov announced.

“So they already know who’s behind it?”, Natsu angrily asked.

“You all remember Reimonbeth Arigon right?”, Master Makarov said.

“Advent Ghoul’s Master?”, Lucy gasped.

“The Council made investigations. Reimonbeth, told Doranbolt some information about it”, Master Makarov said.

“What did he say? Which guild is it?”, Gray asked.

“Advent Ghoul is an independent dark guild. He said there are others like them. They consider themselves a new generation of wizards. Reimonbeth said that they have an association called Galion Alliance. It’s almost the same as Ballam Alliance, only, they were a group of independent dark guilds who concealed themselves for this long without the Council noticing. Just like Advent Ghoul, they recruit numerous powerful wizards but, the difference is, they collect wizards rather than just let them join. In other words, if they can’t have a wizard to add their number, they would take them as hostages and mould them through time”, Master Makarov announced.

“That can’t be!”, Levy gasped.

“That’s too cruel”, Lucy said.

“The missing wizards, must be taken by them until they develop as one of them”, Master Makarov continued.

“Then…Laki will…”, Max felt guilt washing through him. He punched the table hard. “Darn it!”

“Don’t be like that, Laki did it willingly to save you”, Cana comforted him.

“Master, what do we do?”, Gray asked.

“The Council, told us to assign representatives to fight with them. One of ours was taken so we must do everything to take her back and stop their actions at once”, Master Makarov turned serious.
