Chapter 159: Tenrou Island (3)
~Third POV~
Elsewhere in route "D" Path Juvia and Lisanna were on all fours inside a cavern cave room with ruins shown from the signs of battle the two had battle scratches on their bodies as Juvia muttered in shock at their enemy, "She's strong…!!! Has she always been… this strong?"
Lisanna commented on their enemy armor preparing to continue fighting through gritted teeth of the situation, "Armor of the Sea! It protects her completely against your attacks Juvia! She's really not letting this go easy…"
The enemy they had to get past was none other than Erza in a serious tone matching her stern expression at the two, "Well you two? Juvia won't become S-Class if you can't manage to get past me first."
The two gritted their teeth and tried to defeat Erza as soon as possible…
/////
*Oooooo*
An ominous sensation was felt once Elfman and Evergreen both managed to get out of the cavern path of "A" Path reaching their destination shivering and facing another powerful enemy like Juvia's team situation.
*Wiggle*
*Wiggle*
The both of them shook as Elfman broke the ice seeing his enemy steeling his resolve despite his shaking legs, "So in the end were facing off against my big sis… what bad luck…"
Evergreen nodded agreeing commenting on their bad luck biting the tip of her nail, "Yeah… just our luck to face the She-Devil."
*GM*
*GM*
*GM*
She showed off her power in her <Satan Soul> form cracking her knuckles with a light gentle smile on her face sending shivers of fear into the both of them.
Mira merely laughed at them shaking in their feet despite Elfman transforming into his <Beast Soul> Full Body Take Over even then he shook prepared.
Mira finally took her moment to speak in a calm tone flaring her Magic Power causing a shockwave to be felt, "Now then little bro I may have helped you achieve full body takeover magic after painful hours of training I won't go easy on you. You may be my brother, but I won't pull my punches… Elfman!!"
*VOOOM*
Seeing no choice the both of them rushed at each other clashing their fist resulting in a shockwave as Elfman scared but determined exclaimed, "Maybe so… but I won't go down without a fight!!!!"
*BOOOM*
/////
Natsu soon encountered Gildarts in his path as he began to duke it out in glee, "Here I come Gildarts!! Woooah!!!"
Igniting his hands on fire Gildarts tried to make small talk to him standing his ground, "Calm down, Natsu! You have to be ready for this… Come on…"
*FWOOM*
He took the hit of Natsu magic head-on causing an explosion as Natsu's eyes widened in shock seeing his attack was undone easily.
*Whooo*
Gildarts grinned using his <Crush> Magic happily launching Natsu back.
*DWOOOOM*
Launching Natsu into the air as he regained himself igniting himself on fire smirking finally battling Gildarts seriously, "That's more like it!! I won't give up till I finally win!! Guess I'm gonna use my secret weapon. I was saving this till trick the trickster but against you Gildarts I won't hold anything back. Aggggggh….!!!"
*Brrrr*
Clenching both his fists beginning to condense his Fire Magic Gildart's eyes were intrigued seeing Natsu building his Magic Power rubbing his chin, "Oh? You really are serious huh? Fine, I'll let you power up to see how far you've grown Natsu."
*Brrrr*
Natsu built up his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic as he channeled the Mana Method fueling his fire Gildart's eyes widened in surprise as his usual fire turned blue.
*BOOOM*
Releasing his newest form Natsu takes his fighting stance panting bringing it out but feels empowered by his blue flames the truest most powerful form as Gildart comments on his increase in Magic Power impressed, "Whistle~ You have gotten seriously powerful in the short amount of time this year. You think this power-up is enough to beat me?"
Natsu took a fighting stance explaining to Gildarts what his new spell is expressing a feral grin excited to test out his new power, "Maybe or maybe not… all I know is that I'll give it my all to defeat you. I call this <True Fire Dragon Mode>. Fire so strong that it burns through magic leaving destructive explosions in its wake. Better prepare yourself Gildarts because I'm about to kick this fight into second gear!!"
Raising his hand up and turning it into a fist Natsu immediately launched an incredibly fast punch shocking Gildarts of the speed just barely blocking it with <Crush> Magic coating himself, "Try this on for size old man!! <True Fire Dragon's Explosive Iron Fist>!!"
*PEW*
*BOOM*
*BRRR*
Gildarts managed to block the fire but the sudden explosion from the attack shocked him seeing the <Crush> Magic over his hand started to burn immediately from the explosion forcing Gildarts into dispelling his magic shocked, 'He burned through my <Crush> Magic with that explosion?! Damn… he wasn't kidding when he said his fire could burn through magic.'
Gildarts despite the new and improved Natsu <True Fire Dragon Mode> smirked feeling his blood pumping getting a tiny bit serious alarming Natsu, "Good…. Then this means you can handle this a bit seriously huh? Let's go Natsu!!! <Crush Magic Smash>!!!"
*Voooom*
Gildarts getting a bit serious dashing towards Natsu his fist fueled with his <Crush Magic> as the Fire Dragon Slayer smirked seeing he managed to force Gildarts to move towards him building up Fire Magic in his fist, "Good!! Finally, we get to clash this out, old man!!! <True Fire Dragon's Explosive Iron Fist>!!!"
With that, the two began to duke it out as the clash between the two caused an explosion.
*BOOOM*

~Silva K. POV~
*RM*
*RM*
*RM*
*ROOOOOOAR*
Hmm…
Ur was alerted feeling Gildart's Magic Power flaring up as I felt it leaning on a stone wall nearby feeling the earthquake that man was producing was crazy.
His magic power is incredible. But so is Natsu suddenly reaching Gildart base Magic Power feeling a new sense of power I didn't know he had in him.
Well, I did in the canon future not in the present, however, but it seems like my appearance caused not only Natsu but a few others to level up their game.
Their hard work will show and might even beat me if I'm not careful.
But that won't deter me from finding Mavis's gravesite as I'm busy reading Rongo Rongo the Map of the Island searching for her grave and memorizing it to memory to get one of my objectives done then busy handling everything else.
Tenrou Island is inhabited by a variety of peculiar animals, inhabiting specific zones of the island. Some of them are shown to be large and aggressive, something which only contributed to making the Exam held there more difficult.
I must take everything into consideration.
<Observe>.
[Location: Tenrou Island
Description: Tenrou Island is the holy ground of the Fairy Tail guild. It is also the resting place of Fairy Tail's first Guild Master, Mavis Vermillion. Tenrou Island is usually hidden by a strong barrier, which makes it impossible to find no matter what Magic is used; its purpose is said to be protecting Mavis Vermillion's resting place from possible intruders.
It was once a location of the now-destroyed Red Lizard Guild in X679. Tenrou Island, known for its hot, summer climate, is located far from the mainland, because of the clashing currents that are present in the area, Tenrou Island is unaffected by other climates and weather systems, which keeps the temperature high all year long.
The Great Tenrou Tree sinking its roots in the center of the island bestows divine protection upon those bearing the Fairy Tail crest, making it so that they cannot die while on the island, while at the same time enhancing their Magic Power. Such effects would be nullified in the unlikely case that the tree was destroyed.
-Those who bear the title of [Fairy Tail Wizard], [Fairy Tail Ace's], or [Fairy Tail Guild Master] will receive a 25% increase to all stats, 35% MP Recovery, and 5% HP Recovery.]
Damn…!!
Talk about OP Mavis.
I have to deal with one of the members attempting to interfere with the Test. But then my thoughts were interrupted by the sounds of footsteps seeing Cana and Lucy coming out from one of the paths.
Realizing that my friends would be harmed in the attack I gave each of them a Mana Bottle and Salves to help them recover their MP and HP for the fight ahead.
I merely spoke to them into agreeing to take the potions helping them without question doubting me.
Except for Mest doubting me but took the potions as a sign trying to ease up around me. That left only Natsu, Cana, Mest, Gray, and me with 5 teams remaining.
Seems like Elfman didn't make the cut. Sorry mate better luck next time.
Soon enough Makarov came with a smile on his face announcing the next stage of the S-Class Trials alerting everyone's attention, "Ahem! In any case, these five teams pass the first test! So, we will now… start the second test."
Instantly Natsu stood up regaining her fire in his eyes and challenging everyone here grinning in agreement at his words, "Gray!!! Cana!!! Levy!! Silva!!! I'll take you all on to become an S-Class Wizard!!!!"
Natsu declaring his challenge the Master soon grinned explaining the rules with a smug grin plastered on his face, "Good!! Keep that cheerful competitive spirit because you'll need it for this test!! The second round of the S-Class wizard qualification test is a hunt for the grave of the first Master, Mavis Vermillion. The time limit is 6 hours good luck!!"
*Vzzzm*
Surprising everyone the Makarov in front of us was a <Thought Projection> getting Ur attention as she smirked making a preemptive strike, "Silva go ahead I'll block their path. This is all yours my student since everyone will gun for you after this… <Ice Make: Rosey Prison>!!!"
*Wooosh*
Once Master Makarov finished everyone's eyes turned to me as I activated <Invisible Air> running away increasing my speed catching them by surprise thanking Ur for the time she spent, "Thank you Ur-sensei. I'll make sure to use my time wisely… Archer. Berserker. Saber. Lancer. Assassin. You all help Ur to keep them distracted."
*Vooom*
*Vooom*
Understanding my intent all of them rushed forward to stop the remaining contenders as I made my way to where the master was located.
I hear the sounds of my friends fighting against my Replica's in displeasure cursing me.
"Oh, hell nah!!"
"Luck and battle my ass that guy is going to win!"
"Come on Cana we can't - eeep!!"
"Come on and fight me like a man Silva!"
"Ice Make - stop dispeling my Magic whoa!!"
"Damn it his going to win again! Can someone stop him!"
Hahahaha!!
Sorry guys but better luck next year.
Now then I'll hunt down the man who would ruin my friend's home after I win first.
/////
*VOOOM*
Rushing forward with little to a few minutes of locating the grave of the first Guild Master of the Fairy Tail guild, Mavis Vermillion can be found through a gallery branching off from the cave marked by the letter "E" in a small clearing surrounded by thick vegetation.
Upon searching I found it.
I found Mavis Vermillion's grave as Mavis ghost smiling contently to its state.
This is a large yet sober structure composed of light stone, with a series of three rectangular steps, flanked by four small pillars with square sections, one sitting at each edge, being topped by a pair of vertically-placed, flat carved stones, with small geometrical parts jutting upwards on each summit, on the side nearest to the other stone, and a circular hole being generated by two carved semicircles present on each stone's inner side.
Vegetation has grown throughout the structure due to its age, with small plants and moss covering it here and there. Sitting at the grave's sides are two simple, short rectangular stones, similarly covered in vegetation, and leading to it is a pathway consisting of several small, flat stones placed one near the other without an accurate order.
In front of the structure, to the pathway's right, is the section of a short metal fence, with the top edges of its poles shaped like rough Fleur-de-lis.
Avoiding the animals living here and having my Replica's and Ur give me the time I finally found the Master expressing a grin on my face announcing to him, "Hello Master Makarov. Seems like I found this place in no time at all. This is Mavis's grave huh?"
Makarov merely smiled giving me a peace sign as he congratulated me for finding Mavis Grave in a proud tone, "Well done my boy! To think that just half a month ago you were such a young sprout turning into a magnificent tree. You earned your way kid I expect big things from you now on my boy."
I view her grave with Mavis smiling at me talking to me kicking her legs back and forth congradulating me, "Welcome Silva, and congrats on becoming S-Class Wizard my friend. Welcome to the big leagues."
[Ding!]
[You obtained the title S-Class Wizard!]
Pressing the title, I began to see the perks of using this title.
[Title: S-Class Wizard
Description: A Mage/Wizard that passed difficult trials achieving great feats that deserve praise for making it this far. Any tough jobs will be done by the specialized professionals.
This title given to those who pass trials earning their rank. Your stats will increase by +25 when equipped with this title.]
Perfect.
[Objective #3 Completed!]
Finishing up this I took my attention towards to Masters thanking them for my new title, "Thank you very much for the praise Masters. But…"
They both looked confused as my eye darted towards the distance ahead voicing my concern eyeing members of Grimoire Hearts turned serious eyeing the members approaching us slowly glaring at them, "Why do we have members of the Grimoire Hearts in Tenrou Island?"
Proving my point I pointed my finger at them channeling my Magic forcing them to act immediately out of their hiding spot.
*VOOOM*
*VOOOOM*
Appearing immediately a dark guild member of Grimoire Hearts rushed in at me in glee trying to take my life, "Hahaha!! You're the one on the bounty!! You are getting killed –"
*BAM*
Before they could respond they got swatted immediately as Makarov's glares intensified seeing them here announcing and activating a signal, "You fools dare to tread in our home!!! I don't know how many or how you got in but you aren't harming my children!!! Time to activate Condition Red!!"
*BANG*
Releasing a red light into the sky Makarov informed me what I needed to do in a stern tone, "To think the day one of my kids finally become S-Class only to be sullied by Dark Guild hands… Boy return with the others and stick together I'll handle this."
He left immediately leaving Mavis concerned sticking me before she responded surprising me with an offer I didn't think she would give to me, "Silva… I'm sensing a lot of Magic Power from the enemy's side with ill intent. And some powerful figures among them your strength alone won't be enough… Silva will you be willing to use one of Fairy Tail's Great Spells to help your friends."
Chapter 160: Tenrou Island (4)
~Third POV~
Meanwhile, Silva managed to proclaim victory leaving the rest of the contestants fighting Ur and Replica's the rest stayed in the Rest Space cooking up a feast for everyone and a special reward for the newly added S-Class Wizard Member.
The Rest Space is a shelter built in a certain area to act as a meeting and relaxing space for the Fairy Tail members not actively taking part in the exam. In a glade, a large pavilion with a square base was erected, this possessing plain walls but a pointed roof covered in vertical dark and light stripes, getting smaller near the pointy summit, and triangular sections hanging over the lower part from the roof, with each section hanging from a stripe with a color different from its own.
More triangular sections, all light in color, were shown sprouting from below such upper ones; the pavilion had each of its edges linked to the ground by a rope connected to a stake planted in the ground itself, and access to it was given by a rectangular door which could be closed by a cloth door, usually kept folded above the door to keep it open.
To the left of the pavilion's entrance was a high pole, which had a light banner bearing a dark Fairy Tail symbol, with a multitude of thin strips hanging from its lower edge, secured to it by a rope, which sustained its upper edges passing through a pair of small holes in it; not far from the pole is a pile of large logs, held in place by ropes, with a large board being leaned against it.
Sitting by the pavilion's other side is an open-air structure, with a large and puffy cloth roof and a multitude of thin strips hanging from its lower edges, held up by four poles at its angles.
Below such roof is a large oven made of stone, flanked by a number of crates piled one on the other and by barrels, and several pieces of furniture which seem to be carved into short, cut trunks: sitting around three trunks acting as tables, which, curiously enough, are held up by four thin limb-likes branches below it, is a number of smaller trunks acting as seats. Each table bears a short, decorative flowerpot in its center.
Erza was cooking the meal for everyone with Mirajane and Juvia helping in the process. Erza spoke to the two of the preparations in a cheerful tone, "How is the stew coming along Mira? We can expect the boys and girls a big meal after taking the Trials."
Mira chuckled as Juvia was cutting the vegetables replying to Erza's words in a happy tone, "It's coming along great now Erza. Shame my brother couldn't have made it with the others. There's always next year Hehehe…"
Elfman and Evergreen could be seen setting up the tables and plates as Juvia muttered bitterly having unfortunate luck facing against S-Class Wizard Erza, "Yeah right… Juvia and Elfman merely had bad luck going against them…"
Lisanna is seen helping Elfman causing him a smile on his face as Gildarts responds smashing the pieces of meat, "I wouldn't say that girls. The guy just had a stroke of bad luck dealt to him against his older sister. Now how do I cook this…"
Erza's eyes dart towards Gildarts as Bickslow and Fried assist the others speaking to the oldest S-Class Wizard in a curious tone, "You know I had expected you to leave already Gildarts. So, color me surprised when you wanted to help cook with us. Any story you want to share?"
Gildarts laughed nervously as Mira spoke cutting the meat Gildarts prepped causing him to flinch voicing her own opinion spitefully for the man to hear, "Oh, I know! It must be the stories that he found out that Gildarts here had a daughter Cana in the guild… only 18 years later to figure that out leaving family out like that being a womanizing drunk. He's trying to become a better father which is nice, but you don't abandon family…"
Erza even flinched listening to Mira's venomous words as Gildarts sighed responding to her words in a defeated tone, "Yeah… no need to mince words. Had that coming but I promise to be better and change."
Mira only side gazed at Gildarts and huffed at him causing the man to sweat at this. Erza supports Gildart's choice to change preparing another meal speaking to Juvia happily, "Now then Juvia… I wonder who's cooking will appease him?"
Juvia's body stiffed listening to Erza's words turning around in full spirit motivated to defeat her in a category, "Hmphed! You may have won in battle Erza but Juvia will best you in cooking and take my man's heart!!"
Fire figuratively in her eyes Erza accepted the challenge only for Mira to voice her opinion causing them to freeze at her words sticking a tongue out and teasing them, "Hehehe… sorry girls but I'm quite interested in the boy you like. I'm in this competition for real now earning his heart. Best of luck you two…"
The two were shocked by the news as Mirajane now took an interest in Silva her heart beating lightly thinking to herself happily, 'I mean at first, I wasn't… in fact, we were more annoying enemies no friendemies sounds right. But ever since he managed to help bring my sister back… I guess I sort of started seeing him as a man than a boy.'
Trying to distract herself Mira only smiled happily recalling new memories with Lisanna in them since it was an impossible dream for her.
Depression cast in her demon heart but when Silva first appeared helping her in every step of the way to save her sister and bringing her back home her point of view of him changed.
Mira thought to herself happily placing one of her hands over her chest having a hard time believing she would fall for someone in an unsure tone, 'Still to think I Mirajane Strauss would find myself having a crush on a man. Usually, it's the other way around but it's merely a crush nothing too big. For now, I –'
*Bang*
Everyone's attention soon turned to the red signal blast eyes widening realizing what it meant.
*Thud*
*Klank*
Erza dropping the pot creating a sound exclaimed in shock realizing Condition Red had been initiated expressing a stern look changing into battle, "That spot is where the Master was located… Everyone prepare for battle!!!"
Condition Red is a signal established, which, if activated, temporarily puts the exam itself on hold getting everyone prepared to know this.
Such incidence caused by an unlikely enemy attack on the island, is communicated throughout the island by the firing of a red signal blast at the hands of one of the Fairy Tail Mages, activating the so-called Condition Red, which prompts all of the guild members present on the island at the time to ready for battle to defend Tenrou Island from the invaders.
Gildart's eyes turn serious cracking his knuckles and preparing for combat using his <Magic Sense> to locate the strongest ones nearby, "Those bastards are going to pay for ruining such a good day. They won't be getting out of this alive if they harm my baby girl…"
/////
In the far distance away from the island coming into view, the Dark Guild Grimoire Heart Airship could be seen piercing through the clouds coming out. Housing an entire guild, the airship is noted to be very large in size: it consists of a central hull at whose sides are located two larger, elongated parts jutting frontwards.
It seems to be kept flying by several large magical glyphs floating near it, with a pair of them being located behind it, at the ends of the protruding sections, something which makes them highly reminiscent of propulsors, and an even more massive one sitting under it.
The hull's shape is that of a real boat, possessing an arched, pointed lower part, ending on the front in a dark section that houses the guild's symbol, with an open zone right above it, where the main hall seems to be located.
*GWAN*
*GWAN*
*GWAN*
Hearing the sounds of the engine roaring within the airship Ultear in her new outfit announced to Hades that they found Zeref in a happy tone, "We've finally found him! Though it seems he's sleeping. It appears the time has come Master Hades."
The other members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory all waited patiently for Hades to announce their attack on Tenrou Island claiming Zeref, "That man… descended to ancient ground Mastered the black arts… Birthed tens of thousands of demons and pulled the world into chaos. The most evil and powerful force in the history of the magical world… Zeref the Black Wizard! Let us begin! Set course for the Fairy Island!"
*BANG*
An orange energy shot was seen aiming at Grimoire Hearts ship managing to destroy a portion of the ship.
*BOOM*
*RM*
*RM*
*RM*
Feeling the shock of the ship getting damaged being repaired by Ultear <Arc of Time> Magic Hades' eyes glared at the one responsible distance away thinking to himself, 'How could someone made that shot manage to shoot us here? No matter. With Ultear <Arc of Time> she could repair the ship but now we lost the element of surprise on our side. Whoever took that shot is a Deadman.'
As the sounds of the explosion could be heard from the distance the people on the island were now alerted of the danger.
*Boooom*
Makarov soon used his <Giant Magic> magic to confront the group...
/////
Archer using Pumpkin saw the ship was prepared as the fight with other Guild Members all stopped seeing the Red Condition retaking aim.
*Klak*
Aiming his shot he soon twirled it back as a member of the Grimoire Hearts scouts tried to attack from behind, "Shit –"
*BANG*
*SPLAT*
Aiming for the head instantly killing the person Archer soon sees more members come to surround as he places his fingers downward…
*PEW*
*PEW*
Suddenly the members were pierced by Assassin using Zhat and its Veda <Lustrous Flow, Rush Before Me> killing them in the head as Archer repositions himself taking another shot at their airship.
/////
A man stood alone awake from his sleep opening his eyes and speaking in a tired tone, "Sigh… why must these humans cause so much pain…"
The man in question is Zeref Dragneel considered to be the strongest, most evil Mage of all time, who possesses extremely dangerous and powerful Magic and is the founder Emperor of the Alvarez Empire, under the alias of Emperor Spriggan.
He wears high-collared red and tan robes with gold trim and a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso. He has short black hair, dark eyes, and abnormally sharp canines. He also wears a pendant, where he keeps a childhood picture of Natsu and himself.
Sensing the Magic in the air his eyes slightly widen in shock recognizing a magic he sensed those months ago in a surprised tone, "Oh! It seems like the magic from months ago is present on this island… no. I should go rather than meet this magic caster that caused Irene and August such a headache the past months."
Walking Zeref was now on the move heading towards Silva's direction…
