Seven Years Passed

The attack of the Kraken

The year was x787, the guild was bustling like usual however the usual culprit for loud volumes was currently in the forest training up two younger Dragon Slayers. "Coat your body in your magic, don't let it falter and when you've perfected this your Dragon Slayer Magic will become much stronger." Natsu trained as he himself was doing this, he felt he was getting close to hitting his next wall, so he wanted to hit it before unlocking his third magic container.
"Natsu, I'm not questioning you... but doesn't this seem...like something normal magic users use?" Sting asked as Natsu nodded.
"Yeah, and every magic user who had done this has come out five times stronger." Natsu responded quickly.
"But wouldn't it be easier just to find a dragon and kill it?" Rogue asked.
"You two aren't ready to kill a dragon, besides the only dragon around still is Acnologia and I'm not losing anyone else to that monster." Natsu responded with a glare as Rogue nodded and went back to coating his body.
"We killed our dragons though..." Sting grumbled to which Natsu immediately heard him.
"Your dragons were dying anyways according to you; it'd be easy to kill a dragon if they were sick even for normal mages." Natsu approached Sting.
"S-Sorry Natsu!" Sting apologised.
"This technique will do more for you in the future. By doing this your senses are the ones getting the boost and by boosting your taste then you will find it easier finding pure enough Light and Darkness to access your Dragon Force." Natsu proceeded to demonstrate as he activated his Dragon Force on instinct.
"So that's why we've been doing this all week..." Rogue's eyes widened.
"Now, any more questions or are you two going to pay attention?" Natsu asked as the two young Dragon Slayers saluted before continuing their meditation.

As the Dragon Slayers continued their training, out in the sea a magic outpost communication device sparked to life. "It's back, notify Salamander and Leviathan!" One magic guard called through the walkie-talkie as an alarm blared.
"What do you see, soldier?!" The guard on the other side called desperately as only one.
"It's the Kraken!" The magic guard called before the radio went silent.
"What base did that come from?" The guard commanded to know as he turned to one of his crewmates on computers.
"Base 8-04, its closing in on Magnolia fast." The crewmate quickly said.
"It must be sensing Salamander and Leviathan's magic, get the magic council on the phone!" The guard ordered as the crew all saluted.

In the middle of the guild hall three woman looked at each other with awkward looks on their faces. Lisanna Strauss was the first one to break the silence. She looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before speaking up. "So...we all like Natsu?" Lisanna softly asked as Juvia and Levy nodded, in sync with each other."
"For the longest time I was saving myself for when Gray-San returned...but Natsu-Sama has slowly became my reason for living and took Juvia's heart for himself." Juvia softly spoke.
"I...I'm in a similar boat, Don't get me wrong I really liked Gajeel but...I need to move on." Levy sighed.
"I've always loved Natsu since we were kids, after I died and came back I was sure Lucy would've been dating him so I held back..." Lisanna spoke up
"I can't hold back anymore." All three mages said, they each looked equally shocked however they let out some giggles when the awkwardness left.
"So, what will we do then? I want to be happy...but I don't want to ruin what we have with our team, so what is the best way to do this?" Levy asked however before the conversation could continue Master Macao approached the three with a quick pace and a pale face.
"Where is Natsu?" Macao asked quickly.
"He is in the woods, training with Sting and Rogue." Lisanna explained.
"Crap; Lisanna can you go get him? He needs to be back ASAP." Macao said in a rush before looking at Juvia.
"What is happening Master?" Juvia asked.
"The Kraken is back and heading straight for Magnolia. It tore through three Magic Council water bases and left no survivors." Macao explained. "
"The Kraken?!" Team Survivors exclaimed before looking out the window to see in the extremely far distance a blue spot in the distance in the sea.
"I'll go find him!" Lisanna said urgently as she activated her Dragon Soul: Grandeeney form and flew away as fast as she could with her dragon wings.
"Master, do you still have the water from the spring of life? Juvia will need to drink it to beat the Kraken." Juvia requested.
"Of course Juvia, come let's go grab it." Macao nodded as the two left leaving Levy to approach Jet and Droy.
"You two, get ready to evacuate any civilians if things go wrong." Levy ordered as the two mages nodded before heading into the village as a baby started crying.
"Don't worry Asuka, you're safe." Bisca coddled as she held her baby close to her chest as Alzack was also there trying to cheer up their daughter.
"Peek-a Boo!" Alzack said, trying to cheer up the baby however nothing was getting through to her.
"Hon, maybe you should help with evacuation. I can manage Asuka." Bisca winked as Alzack nodded, leaving to go and help Jet and Droy.
