The tension was bone crushing. It was so heavy that it would break the knife if you tried to cut it. Natlynn gulped slightly as she stood on top of the bar, staring down at the Fairy Tail members. Their eyes didn't leave her form when she walked inside with Natsu. They watched her like a predator looking out of its prey, like she was easy flesh to them. One mistake and they'll all jump her. She was extremely nervous. She was afraid that this all was a joke, that they were only seeaking revenge. She swallowed down all of her worries, fears and doubts.

"I just wanna apologize first of all." Natlynn said. She looked up and noticed all of their blank looks. Silently urging her to continue. She straightened up her posture before continuing.

"I understand that my Father and Brother ruined everything and it may not be my fault, but I take full responsibility for everything. Without me here, none of this would be happening and I apologize for that again."

Natlynn looked down at the closed eyed Master sitting at the bar, "I especially apologize to you Mr. Makarov. I evaded your home. Destroyed your family and hurted your children in such unspeakable acts. I feel even lucky you let me enter into Magnolia."

She looked down, trying to collect herself before the tears fell. She didn't want them to feel like her apology was an excuse and was half ass. She wanted them to know she meant it.

She put on a stern look and faced the guildhall, "I'm not here to suck up or sound half ass. My words and apology are true. Everything I ever said or praised about Fairy Tail is true. Right now, you and the innocent citizens are in for a deadly bloodshed against my Father. You may not accept my apology, but at least let me help and guide you through this. I want Fairy Tail to strive as much as you do, I want everything to return to the normal. You all deserve endless happiness. So please, allow me to help you and I'll disappear. I just want to make up for my actions."

Fairy Tail stared back at the girl. They felt the seriousness and sincere in her voice and her body language, she was willing to help them for everything. She even blamed herself when she had no part in it. They looked over at the Master, he was the one who would decide everything. She followed their eyes towards the man, silence filling the air.

Makarov cleared his throat and stood beside Natlynn, turning towards her, "My child, I accept your apology. This has nothing to do with you, but you taking the blame and putting on a brave face is incredibly admirable. It's the Fairy Tail way. I ask for you to bring us to victory during this war." He finished, holding out his hand.

Natlynn firmly shook his hand, both finding a new respect for the other. Makarov turned towards the crowd, "Children. For this moment forward, you will follow Natlynn's orders. The floor is yours."

Natlynn looked back towards, "My Father is planning on invading at exactly 7 a.m. sharp. That means we have to have the town evacuated by 10 p.m. so they'll be long gone. Makarov, will you please tell the others guilds to evacuate their towns? I'm sure he'll destroy them also."

"Of course."

"After everyone is safely evacuated, take the rest of the time to rest. Get sleep and meet back at the guild at 3 a.m. sharp."

"3 A.M.?!" Natsu shouted.

"Yes 3 a.m. We'll spend 3 - 6 planning an attack route with the other guildhalls and spend that last hour preparing and getting into position. I need all of you rested, full of energy and prepare to fight your hardest." Natlynn explained.

"First, I need to go back home."

"Huh?! For what?" Wendy asked.

"Steal some files. I'm sure he has some copies in his study. Happy. Natsu. Meet me outside my bedroom window at 11 p.m."
