Aki: T-The red key???

Natsu: Yeah. What is that red key??

Aki; I-I don't know if Im supposed to tell you. If I tell you too much about the future then I might be sent back to my time. Those are the conditions of the book...

Natsu: Aki, I really need to know.

Aki: I guess it's ok to tell you only about the key.

(Aki takes out the red key and show it to the rest of the group)

Aki; T-This is the summoning key of Grandpa Igneel.

(Natsu is shocked. Along with Lucy and Happy)

Natsu: W-what??? I-Igneel's key??? H-How is that possible??? Igneel is not a celestial spirit!

Aki: It all happened during the "Dragon King Festival" or "Grand Magic Games" as they were called. The dark mage showed up and Grandpa Igneel came with some other dragons. It was a horrible battle. Mum, dad and grandpa Igneel fought together against the dark mage and managed to wound him. But they knew that the dark mage would come again for his loved one.... That is why grandpa Igneel gave mum a special key which she could use to summon him if she was ever to meet the dark mage again... But then that day came... and...

Aki: Sorry... I can't tell you anymore. But it was really a horrible battle. Everyone from the guild fought... Uncle Gray and Aunt Erza too...

(Natsu, Lucy and Happy look at Aki with shock)

Lucy: B-By the dark mage y-you mean...

Happy: Z-Zeref...

Natsu: T-That can't be... Wasn't he with us on Tenrou Island??

Lucy: He probably escaped.

(Natsu, Lucy and Happy are shocked)

Natsu: C-Can you summon Igneel?????!!!!

Aki: N-No sorry dad. Grandpa Igneel told me to never summon him. Only if I saw the dark mage. He told me that if you want to summon him then you first have to prove to him how stronger you have become.

Natsu: Waaaa Igneel! I will prove to you just how much stronger I have become. (Points to the key) Just watch me IGNEEL!

Happy: I think that we should really go back to the guild and figure out what to do.

Lucy: I think that's a great idea Happy. Let's go. Natsu, Aki.

(The group heads back to the guild.)
