TO REKINDLE THE FLAMES

I am supposed to come up with a witty disclaimer... Meh doesn't matter, won't own Fairy Tail anyway.

"You are late on payment this time too Fairy Tail", said the lackeys of the new guild of Magnolia, Twilight Ogre. "You should be grateful to us for not shutting you down entirely. The few job requests you have are our courtesy which you have to pay back or our master will hear about this."

"We do not have your payment." Said Romeo, son of Macao Conbolt, the fourth master of Fairy Tail. His alight with the signature purple flames. He knew that his power was not enough to save the guild, but it had gone on for far too long. Since Natsu's departure, Fairy Tail had only gone through suffering. First they lost all the S- class mages and the candidates for S-class along with their master, essentially losing the core members of the guild after Acnologia's attack. Then, a new guild Sabertooth came up and took place of number one in the Grand Magic Games which were the only remaining way Fairy Tail could've faded with grace after their loss of power. Things only went downhill as the fall in reputation was followed by a fall in job request. Two years after the Tenrou Event, they were overthrown by Twilight Ogre, a second grade guild, forced to relocate, members leaving for other guilds in need of jobs, Fairy Tail was in dire need of help. Agreed that due to their past relations, Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale tried their level best to help with the survival of Fairy Tail, what use are lands and seeds without a farmer? So nearly seven years after their fall, Romeo had finally snapped. Maybe his boisterousness came from Natsu whom he idolized, maybe he was just a hot headed teenager, but one will agree that the winds had started to shift.

Thibault, the lackey with the spiky club, raised it to strike Romeo with it when he heard s shout- ICE MAKE: LANCE and he was sent crashing through the bar. A few of the older members cried at the wastage of the booze but the younger members turned to the gate to see a scene which they had been waiting seven years to see, the members of the core of the guild stood huddled together, bandaged and hurt, but back, safe and sound.

As Thibault came to his senses and got up from the brken bar counter, he nearly pissed his pants, because infront of him, stood a pissed looking red haired knight, both of her hands lay resting on her hip. Her right leg was resting on a piece of rubble by his side, her face covered by the said scarlet hair showing only a glowing, yellow eye. Yes, the Titania of Fairy Tail had returned and boy was she pissed.

She picked up the lackey from the scruff of his neck staring straight into him with her demon eyes while her magic crackled around her making Thibault to actually piss his pants this time. Behind her Makarov, with his calm sagely voice, said return from where you came from, which was an untold warning saying that he would feel the power of the wizard saint otherwise.

Natsu stood infront of the guildhall of Twilight Ogre trying to deduce what had happened in the seven years he was not in Earthland. He could feel his anger, resentment return to him in full force as he remembered the betrayal of his so called comrades and at that time girlfriend making his power go out of control. He, having come to Earthland mere minutes ago was as it is having problems reigning in his magic power due to lack of practice in the past seven years as both his natural and artificial magic containers got filled with dense and abundant power from the Ethernano. The fabled flames of emotion of a dragon slayer were on the verge of breaking out and scorching everything around him when he felt a hand on his shoulder, instantly calming him down. He saw Knightwalker looking into his eyes and shaking her negative telling him not to lose control. She knew, no matter how virtuous Natsu was, he still was human and with his Element being Fire, his actions more often than not were dictated by anger. She knew it was anger that something had happened to Fairy Tail behind his back, that he wasn't present to see the downfall of Fairy Tail, and that he was not the one who had caused it.

She knew it was a messed up way of thinking, but she knew he was damaged and that he wasn't fixed properly. Just too damaged people who had looked past each other's flaws, that was what their relation was, before they had love and trust in each other, it was the need of acceptance.

"Natsu... let's go" she said. "We need to get away from here. Even though it has been seven years I am sure people will recognize you." He knew she was correct and given her looks and condition he was not willing to take any risk which might lead to conflict. They turned around walking towards Magnolia Station. They decided to go to Hargeon so that Natsu could look for a job which was inconspicuous and the area was safe for living, now that Erza did not have her magic power or her spear.

It would be a few rough months for them as they had nothing but the clothes on their backs, they knew it, but they could not careless as they smiled at each other, Natsu grabbing Erza's hand, walked off in a random direction.

Had they waited for two minutes they would have seen, a reeking, Thibault return to his guild hall to inform him of the newest development that had occurred regarding their money.

Back at the barn like guildhall of Fairy Tail, all the remaining members saw a reunion with the lost core members. They were recollecting what had happened in the past seven years, how Fairy Tail had lost its strength, how they had to sell their old guild due to the lack of money, their crushing defeat in the GMG which was the trigger causing them to lose credibility, job... everything. The returned member looked pensive, thinking about how their family had to suffer in their absence.

It was this word, suffer, which brought back to them memories of a certain salmon haired hot-head. No one had the heart to mention it, even though it had been seven years, for them it literally had been only yesterday that they had been searching for him. Lucy, who was cuddled up next to Laxus suddenly spoke up in a demure voice which was almost lost had it not been for the silent stillness in the guild, "D-Did you get any n-news about N-Natsu?" She had hoped that seven years would be good enough exchange for information about Natsu, any little information, she was that desperate.

The mood of the guild fell at an all time low when Romeo spoke up with only one clearly audible word, "...NO."

Natsu and Knightwalker had reached the train station. They were hoping to get the price of tickets so that they could know how much they need to earn before they could move to Hargeon. Shirotsume would have been safer for them and Crocus would give them a lot of opportunity to get jobs and a home but they chose Hargeon because it was a mix of both. Also it being a port they could fabricate a story about how they, two lovers had fled from their family and Bosco to be together. Them, having lived in Edolas for so long would show a change in appearance from the normal Fiorites and they having been the King and Queen would also fit with the old and formal way of speech seen in Bosco, thus solidifying their story. Knightwalker being pregnant would help them get sympathy and in turn a job and a place to stay. They needed to be there only for a short time, till the time they could travel with the baby who was due in three months. He did not know how the influx of magic would affect the babies growth, but a dragon slayers' regenerative powers and high growth rate shortens the gestation period which the scientist back in Edolas had calculated to be a few months. This also meant that their child, being a born dragon slayer, would also grow fast. This was a blessing as it would shorten the time they would have to stay in Hargeon and get back to doing real training and jobs. Natsu was keen on learning more magic which would help fulfil his aim for revenge, but he did not know that he was not destined to have his goal lost to a bigger and more dangerous plan which he had only cemented with his return to Earthland, a plan which would cause him to lose more than he could even possibly gain from it.
