3rd person POV

Time around them stop. All the Fairy Tail mages including Mavis stare at Erza. They were shock as Erza told them the true reason why she came to Fiore with Natsu

"Why didn't you tell me?" Mavis look at her. Erza just shrugged and look back at her
"If we told you, I don't think Natsu's brother would allow us to follow my mother, Mavis-nee"

The first master of Fairy Tail stand up. All girls of Sword Flame look at her with shock. Erza and Mavis stare at each other before Mavis sigh and made herself visible to their eyes

"First?!" Wendy gasp
"First... What's the meaning of this? Why are you here?" Lucy stare at her. Mavis took a deep breath and look at her. A sad sigh escape her mouth

"Lucy, I'm so sorry for keeping this from all of you"
"Keep what?"
"About Natsu and Erza..."
"So... You know and you didn't tell us?!"
"Lucy-san..."
"Yes. I keep this from all of you for three years"
"So, something did happen three years ago" Erza sigh

Lucy stand up and walk away from there. Juvia shout Lucy's name and ran to her. Wendy just sit there staring at the ground while Carla sit at her lap

"Lucy-san...?" Juvia look around for the celestial mage. Then she spotted her at a huge tree. Lucy just stare at it
"Lucy-sa--!!!" Juvia shrieked as Lucy suddenly punch the tree as hard as she can, making some apples fall from the tree. The blondie pick up some apples and start eating it

"Lucy-san?" Juvia walk closer to her. Lucy reply with a hum
"Are you okay?" The water mage put her hand at her shoulder. Lucy sigh
"I don't know... It's just..." She sit on a hug rock, Juvia follow suit, "I'm upset with first from keeping us about this whole situation"
"Juvia is sure that maybe first had a reason why she keep it from us"
"But... Why?"
"Lucy-san..."
"I just don't understand, Juvia... When Natsu and Erza die three years ago, I got depressed about it... My best friends had die... Then after three years, we got to know that they still alive!" Lucy put her apple aside and cupped her face with her hands. Juvia stare sadly at her

"But, at least we know that they still alive right?"
"But they don't remember about us, Juvia"

"It's still better than we thought they're gone forever. Lucy-san... We should be thankful that we had a second chance to met them again. Juvia know it's hard to take in but still... We all had a chance to talk and spend time with them. Not all of people get this chance. There's more people who had lost something precious in their life. But, when those people had this chance even if their love one don't remember about them... They still appreciate the chance and try to make it right" Juvia pull Lucy closer to her

"So, let's try to forgive first and hear her explanation" Juvia smile softly at her
"Juvia..." Lucy look at her and tear up. Lucy buried her face at Juvia's chest. The water mage hug her back
"There, there..." Lucy sobbed

~After the crying session fuwehhhh~

Lucy wipe her tears and smile

"Thanks for letting me cry on your shoulder, Juv"
"Anytime, Lucy-san"
"Come on, let's go back" Juvia nodded

The two of them walk back to the camping site. The other is having a light conversation and Wendy is the one who noticed their return

"Lucy-san! Juvia-san! You're back"
"Sorry guys..." Lucy grin sheepishly
"Lucy..." Mavis stare at her
"First..."
"Lucy, I'm so so sorry!"
"No, first... I'm the one who need to apologise to you..."
"What?"

"First..." Lucy walk closer to her, "I'm sorry for not letting you explain... I'm sorry for just turn my back on you"
"It's okay, Lucy... I'm sorry too for not telling all of you about this..."
"So, apology accepted?" Lucy smile and Mavis nodded
"Yup, apology accepted"

"Welp, now let's change ze topic!!" Erza stand and put her hands at her hips
"EHHHH?!!!!"

~Elsewhere~

Sting's POV

"What?!"
"You mean..."
"Erza-sama and Natsu-sama are still alive?!"
"What's the meaning of this, Sting?!"

I sigh, right now I suddenly felt regret telling the seven of them about Erza-san and Natsu-san... Also now, Rogue, Yukino, Minerva, Rufus, Orga and our two exceeds in the master office, yelling at me about the case. I just can't do it alone. The original plan is only to tell Rogue but then the others just suddenly burst into my door and joining our discussion without my permission... But now it's wayy too late... Urghhhhh

"Calm down, geez. You're giving me headache and stop yelling at me!!!" I close my ears and slam my face on the table. They silent down
"Thank you..."
"So, how do you know about it?" Lector ask. I stare at him
"Didn't I just told you earlier??!!"
"Uh..."
"Urghh fineeeee... It was a fine sunny day, the birds are singing, the flowers blooming beautifully, the kids in this town singing la la la la laaa" Rogue smack my head, hard....

(Ok I'm going to be serious with this😂)

"Can't you tell him normally?"
"Well, who's fault for not listening carefully?"
"Well, in that case. I want you to repeat the story" Rogue glare at me
"No way!! I will not repeat it!!"
"Just do it, Sting!!"
"No! No! No!" I stand up and bump my forehead at his
"Just tell, you idiot!!"
"Make me, stupid!!"

We throw names at each other for a while. Minerva just stare at us and sigh, so do the others. But then,

"Um, Sting-sama... Would you mind telling us the whole story again?" Me and Rogue stop fighting and look at Yukino
"Huh?"
"W-Well, you see... The story you told us wasn't very clear so if you tell us again, maybe we can find a way to help Lucy-sama and the others?"
"Fine by me"
"Eh?"
"Now, the truth is..."

I told them, again, how did I bump into them and the favor that Lucy-san ask us to help. As few minutes passed, my story had ended and now we're finally going to discuss about it

"So, all we need is to find any information about Alvarez?" I nodded
"It isn't going to be an easy task. As far as I know about this country, Alvarez once tried to invade Ishgar for some unknown reason" Minerva cross her arms
"But they failed right?"
"Yes, it's because that time the magic council were still around and they still had Etherion and Face... But now since these dangerous weapon already destroyed and used, Alvarez maybe had a chance to invade Ishgar again"
"Wow, how did you know about this things, Minerva-sama?"
"Well... After the Tartaros battle, Erza and I often shared some information so we can still on our guard and will be aware of the enemies around"
"Without me and Master Makarov's permission?!"
"Yup... But hey, at least you know some unknowning but important information from me"
"Unknowning?" Rufus stare at her

"Whatever... Let's just focus on the main topic" Minerva roll her eyes
"Agree, so--"
"Master" Dobangel open the door
"Yes?"
"There's three guest wanted to see you"
"Who?"
"Jellal Fernandes from Crime Sorcerer, Gajeel Redfox and Patherlily from Fairy Tail"

Gajeel-san? Why is he here?

"Bring them in"
"Yes, master"

We wait for them to enter the room. Lucky for us, the office room really huge and there's actually a place for us to discuss about something. The door open

"Yo, Sting! Ryos!" Gajeel-san grin and his exceed smile
"It's been a while, Sting" Jellal-san smile
"So, mind telling me the reason why do you want to see me?"
"I'm here because Gramps made me his spy again" He cross his arms and grin
"It's about the thing that we all know" Jellal-san narrowed his eyes. We share looks before look at him
"Come, the discussion is just about to start"

~With Gajeel while the conflict between Mavis and Makarov started~

Gajeel's POV

I sat at the guild, munching some iron while hearing the shrimp babbling about some stuff about books to read and to buy. Then I suddenly hear gramps and first arguing but... The unclear topic made me interested to hear more of it

So after a few moments, listening to the argument. She-devil entered the room and the argument stopped. I glance at the office and saw first was talking to someone at the phone which made me wonder...

If only Fairy Tail mages can see her, how come people can talk to her at the phone?

Then she disappear. I wonder why... But I still wanna know what did she argue with gramps earlier? So I bravely stand and walk to the office. I slam the door open, causing the old man stare at me

"Gajeel..."
"So old man... No secrets from me. I already heard that you and first master argue about something and now I wanna know why" I crossed my arms and stared at him. He sighed
"I really hate your sharp hearing" Vein mark pop out from my head
"So, do you interested on it?" He look at me
"Of course I do!"
"If I told you this... Mind being my secret spy again, Gajeel?"
"Tell me the truth first, then I will consider about it"
"Fine... Erza and Natsu are still alive"

My eyes widen. No way... There's no way people could come back to life... They're already dead right?! But if they're still alive... What's the point I cried three years ago?!!!

"Gajeel..."
"Gramps... This ain't true right? There's no way people could come back to life unless their zombies!!" He sigh
"It's true..." I sit down and look at the floor
"So, do you want to be my spy?"
"If you agree to give me some payment..."
"Even if this is for the guild??"
"Yup"
"Fine then. So, do we have a deal?" He took out his hand, waiting for me to shake it
"Giihii, we had a deal" I grinned and shake his hand

To be continue

Fuh, I didn't actually expected that I've publish the next chapter this fast... Anyway, how's the chapter so far? I honestly need to do more about the other who actually know about Erza and Natsu is still alive. Annddddd I've also noticed that how quick I am to forgot some characters like Future Erza and whatever. I sometimes need to re-read all of the chapter to remember the storyline haha... So don't worry, I will made Future Erza appear again in the future chapter

So bubye!
