Gohan & Piccolo's Fairy Tail (Gohan x Erza x Ultear) (Piccolo x Mirajane)

Flare's bond with Lucy and Imitatia grows

As Fairy Tail returns to Magnolia where they're welcomed by a large crowd, they're being consequently congratulating them for their victory at the GMG. The mayor of Magnolia arrives as well and reveals to Makarov and the rest of the guild members that he had the guildhall building restored as a token of appreciation, which leads to Makarov tearing up. This put a smile on everyone's faces, Gohan, Piccolo and Trunks as well.

After giving a token of his appreciation, the mayor of Magnolia interacted with Gohan first before interacting with Trunks and Piccolo. He was very impressed with the three of them of their performance at the GMG, including their fight with the Wolf trio. Gohan being well mannered, thanks the mayor for his complement of them.

Erza, Mirajane and Cana were at the side just smiling that the mayor of all people, didn't hesitate to interact with their boyfriends, especially Piccolo. Mirajane can tell that the people of Magnolia were no longer afraid of Piccolo and his appearance really took a bit to warm up to, not to mention accepting him for who he is. This made her happy, and it didn't go unnoticed by Elfman and Lisanna who were also smiling of the fact that the people of Magnolia were warming up to Piccolo.

Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Erza, Happy and Carla were also watching and smiling, especially Laxus and the Rajiushin.

Gohan senses someone was following them all the way back from Crocus, Piccolo and Trunks also sensed it as well before Natsu, Gray, Erza and Wendy did.

Scene change at Lucy's apartment

As Lucy and Imitatia arrive back to the apartment, Imitatia senses someone is following them and goes on her guard. Lucy notices the serious look on her face and keeps an eye out, as they enter in the apartment to get themselves situated after the long running events of the GMG and the dragon invasion.

Later on at night, Lucy was lying peacefully in bed resting her eyes, while Imitatia still kept a lookout for someone who was following them all the way back from Crocus. Ever since she moved in to Lucy's apartment and became an official member for Fairy Tail, after the Infinity Clock incident, especially having Lucy be a sacrificial lamb for the clock, she swore to never leave her side and will always protect her from whoever dared to hurt or try to kill her née-san. And Imitatia will continue to do so by protecting not only Lucy, but Romeo, Natsu and others who changed her whole life from being lonesome to a joyful individual who loves and cares for her guild mates.

Imitatia looks back at the events of the GMG, the Eclipse project, future Rogue and the dragon invasion. All of these events she was involved in, she was happy to be part of it.

Suddenly, her thoughts were cut short as she notices Flare walking by and she immediately goes outside to meet her without waking Lucy up.

And as she meets with Flare, she at first asks in a begrudgingly tone.

Imitatia: What are you doing here Flare? Or better yet, why are you here? I hope you're not here to cause trouble.

Flare: No, I don't wish to cause any trouble at all. I'm here cause after Raven Tail got disbanded, I have nowhere else to go. So I'm finding a place to live.

After noticing that Flare was being honest, that she really doesn't have a place to live at, Imitatia thinks back that she helped Lucy get her away from a dark guild, and it would've been a dishonorable thing of she turned her away. So she allows Flare to come up to the apartment to spend the night. The redhead mage thanks Imitatia for being helpful to her. The former reborn Oracion Seis member just gave out a small smile to Flare and changes her point of view of her. At first she didn't like her because of her humiliating Lucy and threatening to hurt Asuka, but after she makes up for her wrongdoings, she reminds Imitatia of herself when she was in a dark guild, doing what she thought was right, but she was wrong.
