The following morning, Fairy Tail's guild hall was buzzing with activity. Members from all three teams had gathered, along with the guild master and senior mages, to discuss the recent encounters with the Primordial Quintets.

Nashi arrived with her family, her eyes immediately scanning the room for Gideon. When their gazes met, both quickly looked away, a faint blush coloring their cheeks.

Master Laxus called the meeting to order, his voice cutting through the chatter. "Alright, listen up! We need to hear from each team about their encounters with the Quintet. Natsu, your team first."

Natsu stepped forward, his expression uncharacteristically serious. "We encountered one of the Quintet members in the northern mountains. It was... unlike anything we've faced before."

As Natsu recounted their battle, Nashi found herself reliving the moment when Gideon had saved her. She glanced at him again, this time catching him looking at her. They shared a small smile before turning their attention back to Natsu.

"The most concerning thing," Natsu concluded, "is that our strongest attacks barely fazed it. If all five members are this powerful..."

A murmur of concern rippled through the guild.

Laxus nodded grimly. "Jellal, what about your team?"

Jellal stepped forward, Erza at his side. "We encountered similar resistance in the western deserts. The Quintet member we faced seemed to feed off chaos and discord. The more we fought amongst ourselves, the stronger it became."

"That lines up with what we experienced in the eastern forests," Sting added. "These beings aren't just powerful; they're smart. They know how to exploit our weaknesses."

The guild fell silent as the gravity of the situation sank in.

Suddenly, Levy spoke up. "I've been researching ancient texts about primordial beings. There might be a way to seal them permanently, but it would require an immense amount of magical power."

"How much are we talking about?" Laxus asked.

Levy hesitated. "More than any one of us possesses. We'd need to combine the power of our strongest mages, including the younger mages."

All eyes turned to the younger mages in the room. Nashi straightened her shoulders, feeling the weight of responsibility settling upon her.

Gideon stepped forward. "We're ready. Whatever it takes to protect our guild, our families, our world."

Nashi nodded in agreement, standing beside him. "We've been training our whole lives for moments like this. We won't let you down."

Laxus looked at them with a mixture of pride and concern. "This won't be easy. The risks are high, and we don't know everything we're up against."

"When has that ever stopped Fairy Tail?" Lucy interjected, a determined smile on her face.

A cheer went up from the guild members, the familiar spirit of Fairy Tail burning bright in the face of adversity.

"Alright," Laxus said, his voice carrying over the noise. "Levy, work with Freed to develop a plan for this sealing spell. The rest of you, form teams and start training. We need to be ready for anything."

As the meeting dispersed, Nashi found herself standing next to Gideon.

"So," she said, trying to sound casual, "partners for training?"

Gideon smirked, some of his usual bravado returning. "Think you can keep up, Flame Brain?"

Nashi grinned back. "Bring it on, Ice Princess."
