   "WATCH OUT, FLAME BRAIN!"

   "GRAY-SAMA!"

   "Eh? Gray?" Natsu frowned, looking up at the sky.

   "Juvia?" Lucy looked taken aback.

   "Lucy?" Juvia called while falling from the sky.

   "Natsu?" Gray was clearly as confused as the rest of Fairy Tail was... as he continued to plummet through the sky.

   "HAPPY!" Happy laughed.

   "Idiot tom cat..." Charle mumbled.

   "Wait..." Mira frowned, "She said... Gray-sama..."

   "EVERYONE! WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP THEM FROM FALLING!" Erza shouted.

   "Or we could just wait and see popsicle hit the ground..." Natsu muttered.

   "I can transform into a bird and save them!" Lisanna suggested.

   Everyone turned to her, "HOW'D YOU GET HERE?!"

   She shrugged.

   "A slide thingy appeared beneath us and so now we're here," Bixlow explained, popping up behind the white haired mage.

   "Gah... I need some booze..." Cana groaned, appearing behind the two of them.

   "That is unacceptable," Freed shook his head in disappointment.

   "I'M A REAL MAN!" Elfman shouted.

   "SHUT UP!" Evergreen hissed.

   "Hey, Laki," Gildarts nudged his lilac haired partner, "You look really nice today."

   "PERVERT!" Laki hit him across the head.

   "Where's my son?" Macao looked around the room.

   "Don't ask me..." Wakaba puffed out a stream of smoke.

   "Hey, kids!" Makarov grinned and waved.

   Everyone other than the guild mates that had just appeared stared, open mouthed.

   "I'M NOT A SHRIMP!" Levy shouted.

   "Gihi... whatever you say shrimp!" Gajeel chuckled.

   Lucy opened and closed her mouth, soundlessly, in attempt to find words to say, "I-but-how?"

   A low chuckle broke through the confusion of the crowd, "Good... now you're all here..." Death Note's master smiled slyly.

   "WE'RE STILL FALLING HERE!" Gray shouted.

   "Oh! Right!" Lisanna transformed into a large bird and took off after them.

   "Now then," the woman snapped her fingers, "I hope you don't mind, but I've been saving my top members for this battle." Just then, fifty mages appeared next to her, including the one that attacked Gray and Juvia.

   "You're going down," one of them snarled.

   "Like flies," another cackled.

   Natsu cracked his knuckles, "Alright! I'm all fired up!"
