26 Back to Fairy Tail

After the destruction of the Island, Erza and everyone else started to frantically search for Adrian, and after hours of searching they weren't able to find him

Believing that Adrian was dead, they had all begun to cry over the death of their friend

After they made it back to the beach, they began to make their way back to their hotel with red eyes

Erza was absolutely gutted as she believed it was her fault for leaving him behind to face off against Jellal alone

No one spoke a word, as they were returning to their hotel, but when they walked by a restaurant they were all surprised

Gray: Is that?

Lucy: I..... I think it is

Natsu/Happy: Adrian!!

Thje reason why they were surprised was because, they though one of their best friends was dead, but instead, Adrian was sitting in a restaurant eating all the food that they have

Tables and tables of food all his. Everyone immediately ran in and hugged him causing him to fall off his chair

Adrian: Guysshh whatshh up?

Erza: We thought you were dead

Erza was currently sobbing into his chest letting out even more tears than before, however these weren't tears of sadness but joy

Adrian: Ummm, nope i'm alive... chicken?

Everyone was dumbfounded as they went crazy searching for him, only to find out that he returned before they did, in perfect health, eating food that could very well serve 20 people

However as they were all tired, they sighed before they grabbed a chair and helped themselves

Milliana: This is a lot of food, how are you gonna pay for it

Happy: Don't worry about it, Adrians rich

Adrian: Don't worry about the cost, just help yourselves

After a few minutes of loud eating, since everyone was starving, Gray asked a question which gained everyones attention, causing them to stop eating

Gray: Adrian, what happened to you after the explosion?

Adrian: Well... after i sent the place straight to hell i came back here, exchanged my tokens for jewels, and came here to eat

Erza: What about Jellal?

Adrian: The last i saw of Jellal was when we were free falling down... however i do believe that went we were going down he regained possession of his body

Erza: What, how?!

Adrian: He mouthed the words 'thank you' to me... then we hit the water and i lost sight of him

Erza: I... i see

Adrian: That doesn't necessarily mean he's dead... who knows, we might see him again some day, and I'd very much like to meet the real Jellal

Erza: Right!

Erza and the rest of the gang were in a great mood afterwards, having found out their friend was alive, eating a feast and then relaxing in the hot spring

It wasn't until a while later that Erza's friends had left, and after a tearful goodbye with Erza, she finally let them go, promising to see each other again

During that night they all stared in awe at the night sky as fireworks were lit, which was a great way to end their day

The next day, they all began to slowly make their way back to the guild where they were all shocked, this was because their guild hall was finally done being remade. Making their way inside they noticed that there was an open air cafe, a souvenir shop, an amusement center, and a pool

Natsu: What the hell happened to our guild?! They've ruined it!

Adrian: Really?.... well i think it looks awesome

Gray: Damn straight it does

Erza: I agree, it does look amazing

Lucy: Yeah it sure is... wait... Gray where are your clothes?

Gray: What? Aww man where did they go?

As they were all chatting amongst themselves, Guild Master Makarov began to make his way towards them

Makarov: Everyone, i'm glad your back... i'd like to introduce to you the newest member of Fairy Tail

Makarov then pointed towards Juvia who was staring intently at Gray mumbling something. He then stated that there was another person who is joining the guild, needless to say that person was Gajeel Redfox

Natsu: What! no way gramps, he can't be allowed to join after what he did

Gray: Yeah gramps you must be out of your mind if you think we're gonna be friends with him

Gajeel: Well i didn't come here to make friends, i just came to do some jobs

Erza: Master, i agree with them, you must rethink this

As everyone was complaining to the master who was starting to get annoyed and had veins popping out of his forehead, Adrian stepped forward and placed a hand in front of Gajeel, which startled him the most, as he was sort of terrified of Adrian after their fight

Adrian: Welcome to the guild

When Adrian said that everyone was shocked, especially the Master and Gajeel. Subconsciously Gajeel placed a hand out and shook hands with him before he felt Adrian slightly tighten his grip

Adrian: I trust the masters judgment, so i'll accept you here and won't cause any trouble for you as long as your here, however... you try anything funny like last time... i'll erase you

Gajeel started to sweat bullets as he was terrified, but he kept up appearences as he didn't want to seem weak

Gajeel: Right... That won't happen again...

Adrian: That's all i ask

Makarov smiled at Adrians maturity, and was glad that the others decided to follow in his steps and didn't cause trouble for him anymore

Makarov: The only reason why Gajeel did what he did was because he was ordered to by Jose, not because he wanted to

Hearing the master they all looked at Gajeel before deciding to go a bit easier on him, however they still hadn't forgiven him, that needed to be earned

Adrians: Master can i speak to you for a second

Makarov: Of course my boy

Adrian and Makarov then made their way to his office where he spoke of everything that happened during their vacation. Explaining how Erza's old friend was being controlled, and had her other friends kidnap her for a sacrifical ceremony to bring back Zeref. He told the master that during that time he managed to absorb ethernano into his body and two other kinds of energy, making him even stronger. He then went on and spoke about how they defeated them and destroyed the Tower of Heaven

Makarov: That's a lot thats happened in two days my boy... are you okay?

Adrian: I'm fine master, thanks for asking

Makarov: I'm glad you went with them my boy, they were very lucky to have you, and i'm sure that they know that. Now there's something that i would like to know, about those two other energies you spoke of, Chakra and Ki you called it right? How is it that you can use them?

Adrian: Right master... i guess theres something that you should know about me. I'm not actually from this world, I'm sure you've heard of Edolas right, it's sort of like that but i come from a third party world

When the master heard this he was shocked, normally he wouldn't believe something like this, however he has been around Adrian for a long enough time to understand what sort of person he is, and that is a person who wouldn't lie, especially about this

Makarov: Ahh yes i've heard of Edolas, and don't worry i believe you, but how did you get here?

Adrian: I uhhh... i died... and was brought here. That's why when i first came here you couldn't sense any magic from me, that's because i didn't use magic, my body uses Ki, while my eyes use Chakra, which are energies from another and it wasn't until the incident where i managed to absorb the ethernano in the air and fuse them to create a new type of energy, much stronger than what you all use

Makarov: Well my boy, this will always be your home, whether your from this world or not

Adrian: Thank you master, i was alone for some time in my life after my grandfather died, i'm glad i have a place here

Makarov: Always my boy, always...
