“Tidus, Kurogane, what....”, Arthur stopped when he saw Tidus and Kurogane’s expression. When he looked at where they’re eyes are focusing, he was surprised as well.

“You’re going to where Lucy is right?”, a woman asked, standing in front of their carriage.

“........”, No one was able to say something. Arthur was frozen stiff from surprise as to why the woman is there in front of them.

“If so, take me with you”, the woman finished.

“Elizabeth”, Arthur mumbled softly.

“The signal, is it still active?”, Jura asked.

“Yes, it’s still transmitting. They haven’t figured it out yet”, Hibiki replied.

“Let’s hurry before they do!”, Laxus ordered.

“How farther?”, Natsu asked.

“More or less 20 kilometres more”, Hibiki said. “We just have to head North”

“Stop!”, Sting warned. All of them stopped from their pace.

“What is it?”, Kagura asked.

“They’re expecting us”, Rogue replied.

All the dragon slayers were alert and ready. It means that what Sting said is a trigger of something.

“Get ready”, Gajeel said.

The surrounding is quiet but they can definitely feel the tension in the air.

“Everyone split up!”, Charle shouted out.

Those who were alert were able to move fast after Charle’s warning but there are a few who weren’t as fast. They were hit by a powerful beam from above.

“What is that?”, Gray asked.

“They know we’re here”, Orga said.

“This is becoming wilder by the second”, Bacchus was excited.

“How many?”, Lyon asked.

“More or less thirty”, Hibiki replied as he looks over his Archive magic.

“No, fifty!”, Laxus harshly shouted.

“Twenty of them were suppressing their presence behind those woods!”, Rogue pointed to their east side.

“My memory remembers some of their abilities, I can take care of some of them”, Rufus said.

“Dang, you sure are boastful”, Gray smirked. “I’ll help you out”

Rufus smiled at him.

“I’ll stay here too”, Lyon made his way to them. Their backs were leaning against each other.

“They grouped themselves pretty well”, Jenny commented.

“In that case, I’ll stay behind as well, I’ll be beside Gray-sama!”, Juvia went over to their group as well.

“Hey!”, Cheria was about to head over as well when Jura stopped her.

“There are better things we could do. If all of us stay, we would run short before we reach the base”, Jura explained.

“We must find a way to get through them. Separate!”, Erza ordered.

So all in all, those who were left behind in the first wave of attack are, Gray, Lyon, Rufus, Juvia, Jenny, Eve and ten people from different guilds.

Magic Council....

“Sir, I brought him”, a Rune Knight saluted. The Guild Masters looked at him with interest.

“Good, release him”, the Council ordered.

The shackles and the confinement crystal containing the prisoner were taken down. Once his hands were free, he clutched at the necklace he has tightly.

“Reimonbeth Arigon”, the Council started. The said man stood and lifted his head towards them. “Tell us all you know so far about this Alliance you were talking about”

Fairy Tail......

“I wonder if they’re alright”, Levy asked worriedly.

“I don’t know. This is becoming really bad is it?”, Lisanna asked.

Both girls were standing at the door.

“Will everyone come back?”, Levy looked hopeless.

“What’s with that face? Of course they’ll come back”, Lisanna said with a smile.

“I have a bad feeling about this”, Levy replied.

“Me too. But...I believe that no matter what, they’ll definitely return...all of them”, Lisanna said.

“Yeah, you’re right”, Levy nodded.

“You two, why don’t you go inside and wait for them patiently?”, Cana asked.

“Yeah, let’s go Lisanna!”, Levy head back.

Lisanna looked at the road with a sad expression.

“All of you will return safely.....right?”

“I will tell you everything I know, but....there’s a condition”, Reimonbeth bluntly said.

“What is it?”, a Council member asked.

Reimonbeth grasped the necklace tighter.

“I heard that my niece, Reina went after the representatives to help. I assume Elizabeth will go too once she heard about it”, he looked at them seriously. “In exchange for the information I will give, make sure you’ll do everything to protect my nieces and make sure they’ll return safely!”, he announced.

“Is that all?”, the Council asked.

“That is all”, Reimonbeth replied.

“You really have changed, Arigon! If you do so much ask to be free in exchange of the information, we could have accepted that but you asked for your nieces’ protection instead. Alright. We will definitely do everything in our power to protect them as you wish”, the Council members promised.

“Now, tell us”, one of them asked.

“How many representatives did you asked to search for Galion Alliance?”, Reimonbeth asked.

“About sixty wizards to be exact if we don’t count the nobles, their guards, your niece and her escorts in the number. Most are elite wizards from different guilds. We included even the champions of the Grand Magic Games”, the Council bragged.

“I hope that’s enough”, Reimonbeth said.

“WHAT?”, some were surprised.

“Even if all ninety are elite wizards and the champions of GMG, they won’t stand against them. My guild consists of a thousand men, all with their own abilities. The Galion Alliance consists three times in number”, Reimonbeth announced.

“You’re saying there’s more or less three thousand wizards in their hands?”, the Council was shocked to find out the truth.

“That number is just until I left and came across my nieces and Fairy Tail. I’m sure, they’re a whole new lot of numerous wizards with them now. Even so, I haven’t included in those three thousand the masters”

“Masters?”

“Just as Ballam Alliance have guild masters, the Galion Alliance have them too. Myself included, there are fifty masters in control”

“Fifty? That many?”, some Council members were murmuring loudly.

“Also, there are a hundred sub-masters”, Reimonbeth added.

“A hundred?”

“All of those sub-masters are more or less in par with the ice wizard from Fairy Tail”, Reimonbeth said.

“Gray? Gray Fullbuster?”, Bob asked Makarov.

Master Makarov nodded.

“What about the Masters?”, the Council asked.

“I can say that they’re in par with the guild masters here”, Reimonbeth looked at Master Makarov and the others.

“No way, how are we going to stop them now?”, the Council members murmured.

____________________________________________________________

“How many are still left?”, Kagura asked.

“We’re down to thirty four people”, Jura replied.

“Thirty four? And how long do we still have before we reached their base?”, Laxus asked.

“We’re.....8 kilometres more”, Hibiki shouted out.

“Will we make it?”, Romeo asked.

“We better be”, Natsu determinedly said.

“Heads up!”, Sting warned.

More enemies came out in different places.

“Natsu-san, leave them to us, we’ll do what we can in here. You have to get through”, Wendy said.

“I’ll stay with her!”, Romeo announced.

“Me too!”, Cheria replied.

“Hey! You’ve got to be kidding. We can’t leave you kids alone like this!”, Jura said and stayed behind as well.

“Looks like they’re persistent in stopping us. I’ll stay behind, you guys go!”, Laxus ordered. “Well go after once we’re finished”

The rest nodded and continued to run.

“Roar of the Sky Dragon!”, Wendy made a way for them.

“Natsu-nii! Catch!”, Romeo threw him something that Natsu caught perfectly. He knew what it was with just a touch and gripped it tightly.

“Thank you, Wendy, Romeo! Be careful!”, Natsu shouted back.

“Yeah!”, both kids shouted out.
