A/N: WOW guys, it's been at least a year since i've updated any of my stories on here. I'm surprised I still remembered my password lmao. I've been so busy on Wattpad and shit, I forgot I had an account here too.
So I decided to skip the Starry Heaven's arc or whatever. And just skip to the GMG arc. Enjoy!
Chapter 53: Aim For The Top
With the Infinity Clock destroyed and the Reborn Oracion Seis defeated, Fairy Tail begins celebrating. Legion Corps joins in on their fun, but return to Zentopia Church afterwards. Later on, Gildarts is informed about the Lumen Histoire by Master Makarov.
In addition, Fairy Tail's Team Tenrou learn about a new tournament in Fiore that challenges the overall strength of a Guild. Fairy Tail holds the title of the weakest while a formerly unknown reigins at the top: Sabertooth.
At the guild, Master Makarov proclaims that Gildarts will be the next master, but Gildarts has left a letter which says that he will leave and has only two wishes as a master.
Outside...
"Still, the problem is more serious than I thought." Snow said, sitting on top of a ledge of a small hill.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked, looking up at him.
"Gildarts and Laxus were monsters to begin with, but them aside, our power hasn't caught up to this time period." Snow replied.
"True. Even Natsu was given a run for his money by Max there..." Lucy added, making a point.
"And we're talking about Max-san..."
"What you said before really was just flattery...?" Max sighed, scratching his forehead with small tears in his eyes.
"I wonder if there's a way to boost our magic power all at once..." Happy inquired, thinking about a possible way to improve their magic powers.
In the Forest...
They all decide to go to Porlyusica for some help. Porlyusica stares at them for a while with silence between them. After a while, she slams the doors in their faces. "Go home!" She yelled from the other side of the door.
"Porlyusica-san! Don't you have some kind of good medicine for us?" Lucy pleaded, trying to smile.
"Like the on that'll suddenly increase our power a hundredfold..." Natsu added.
"I suppose that would be too convenient..." Snow mumbled.
"You think...?" Yuki muttered.
Carla looks over at Wendy who looks sad or worried. "What's wrong, Wendy?"
"Nothing..." Wendy shakes her head, not wanting anyone to worry about her.
Porlyusica opens the door once again, holding a broom. "I hate humans! Go home! Go home!" She shoos them away while they get scared and run away.
"What is it, her turn to clean?!" Natsu yelled.
"What's with that old lady?!"
"She used to be Gramps' girlfriend!" Snow stated.
"Wrong, moron!" Porlyusica yelled.
Wendy turns around to look at Porlyusica one more time. After a couple of seconds, Wendy turns back around and runs back to the group.
Back at the Guild...
Master Makarov tells everyone that he is retiring and Gildarts will be his successor, but Mira hands him a letter. In the letter, Gildarts says he does not want to be the master, and the only two orders he will give are for Laxus to return to the guild and for Makarov to be the 6th master. Mira then gives Cana another letter, which contains a 'call Gildarts' card. She tears the card, saying she does not need it. Master Makarov says that he will be the master until he dies and calls out for booze.
Back at the Forest...
The group is tired of running and take a break to catch their breaths.
"Who's the one that suggested going to see Porlyusica-san?!" Lucy asked, resting on an outgrown root of a tree.
"Lucy..."
"That woman's a force of nature." Natsu groaned.
"I heard she was a misanthrope, but I didn't realize it was that bad..." Carla commented.
"Why should I count? I'm a cat..."
Wendy starts to tear up. The group notice her crying. "What's wrong, Wendy? Were you scared?"
"Hey, what's wrong?!"
"That old lady made Wendy cry!" Natsu yelled.
Wendy covers her face with her hands, shaking her head. "No, that's not it... I felt so nostalgic..."
"Have you met her before?" Carla asked.
"Uh-uh... I'm sure this was my first time... But it gave me such a familar feeling..." Wendy replied. "Her voice... Her smell... They're the same as Grandeeney!" This shocks all of them.
At the Guild...
Max complains about Gildarts wanting the guild to be first place, though Erza says it is not bad to be ambitious. Then, they start talking about the other guilds that are strong and about how the Tenrou team's power froze during the timeskip. Romeo gives an idea to Erza about how they can be number one quickly but the others say they should not join "it".
At the Forest...
"That old woman is Grandeeney?!" Snow asked.
"The same voice as the dragon Wendy is looking for?" Lucy added.
"What does that mean?" Happy asks Carla.
"Don't ask me!"
"Wendy, is that true?" Natsu asked.
Wendy sniffled. "I don't know!" She answers his question. "But... that smell... that voice... They're the same as my mother, the Sky Dragon, Grandeeney..."
"This needs to be checked out!" Natsu starts walking to Porlyusica's house.
"Wait!" Snow haulted. "Even if Grandeeney really has turned into a human, this wouldn't make any sense."
"That's right. Your guy's dragons too... They all disappeared seven years ago... More precisely, 14 years ago, in 777..." Lucy makes a valuable point. "Porlyusica-san has known Master for a lot longer than that. In other word, when the dragons were around, Porlyusica-san was around. That contradicts. They can't be one in the same."
"Reincarnation, transformation, doesn't look like there's much to go on there, huh?" Snow stated.
"No." Lucy agreed.
"True, now that I've calmed down and thought about it, you're right. It doesn't make sense." Wendy said. "Even though the voice and scent are the same, the tone and mood are completely different."
"And you told me before, that Grandeeney likes humans." Carla recalled.
"What if she hates cats?! What should I do?!" Happy commented.
Wendy stands back up. "Grandeeney is a kind dragon."
"I can't even imagine a kind dragon." Yuki commented.
"Especially after seeing Acnologia..." Lucy remembered.
"Acnologia..." Snow thought, remembering his father and they're last encounter on Tenou Island.
"Igneel is nice, too!" Natsu added. "What about Miyuki, Yuki?"
"Stubborn..." Yuki replied coldly with one word. Although, that's what Yuki saw in Miyuki at most times.
Suddenly, Porlyusica arrives and apologizes to them. "Sorry I wasn't nice!"
"Porlyusica-san!"
"You scared me!"
Wendy walks closer to her. Porlyusica has the courage to reveal something. "I have to hide. I'll talk to you. I'm not Grandeeney, the one you're looking for. I'm human, through and through."
"But don't you hate people...?" Natsu reminded her.
Porlyusica groans through her teeth. "You got a problem with one human hating other humans?!"
"No, no!"
"I'm sorry, but I don't know where your dragon is. I have no direct relationship with dragons." Porlyusica stated.
"Then what do you..."
"There is another world, different from this one. You know about Edolas, don't you?" She said. "I've heard that you've even met your Edolas counterparts."
"Edolas..."
"You mean..."
"What?!"
"No way!"
"From and Earth Lander's perspective, I would be considered the Grandeeney of Edolas." Porlyusica confessed. "Decades ago, I got lost and ended up on this world." This surprises everyone.
"Edo-Grandeeney..."
"A human over there!"
"Makarov helped me in my time of need. And I grew rather fond of Earth Land, so even though I had several opportunities to return to Edolas, I decided to remain here." She explained.
"Are any of the dragons humans over there, too?!" Natsu asked. "I mean, are they here?!"
"I don't know. I've never met them. Although, I did hear rumors about one human, but no one knows if he's dead or alive..." Porlyusica replied. "But I have talked to the Sky Dragon."
This catches Wendy's attention very quickly.
"We didn't meet directly. She spoke to me telepathically, I suppose through magic means. She said you people wanted to become 'strong'. But it may be possible for only the girl named Wendy." Porlyusica hands Wendy a book of spells written as Grandeeney directed and Wendy thanks her.
Back at the Guild...
"We're home..." Natsu and the others return to the Guild.
"Oh, you're back, huh? Did you get good medicine?" Max asked.
"Just Wendy." Lucy replied.
Macao and Romeo are having an argument about joining "it". They ask why they are fighting. They vote about who does not want to participate and all the guild members, except the Tenrou team and Romeo, vote not going.
Natsu demands to know what "it" is, and Romeo replies that it is an event made to choose the no. 1 guild in Fiore called the Grand Magic Games. Master Makarov is reluctant about it, but when Romeo says that there is a reward for the winner, he quickly approves.
As the Grand Magic Games are in three months, Natsu says it is enough time for them to train and keep up with this era. The Tenrou team is clearly excited for the Games to start while the others think that it is a bad idea.
A/N: Man, it feels so great to be back in business!
How have y'all been?
I missed all of you!
