Six days have passed and Touka has completed the order that I gave her. Today is the last day that I will spend here. Let's just hope that the mission is a success otherwise all of this would have been for nothing. That would completely suck. Joining the enemy of all humanity and completing a mission only to watch as it fails. See what I mean when I say this would all be for nothing if this plan failed.
"What are you thinking about?" I heard Hinami ask. I shook my head and began setting up. I have to return as soon as possible. I'm already five minutes late for my meeting with Zeref. Everybody got here later than planned so I'm running low on time
"Come on people, I'm running late!" I shouted over the group gathered in the ruins of Anteiku. They stopped setting up and were now staring at me.
"What are you late for?" Sasaki asked.
"I forgot to tell you or I did tell you and both of us forgot." I said, questioning my memorization skills. The refreshing of the memory is probably in session.
"I'm not from this world and I have a meeting with someone from the world that I'm originally from. As of right now, I'm six minutes late." I explained.
*a few seconds later*
Sasaki was now placed on a chair with the others, including me, surrounding him. His back was placed along the broken down back of the chair, slowly breaking it even more. Rings of sweat were on all of our faces thanks to the humidity that still lingered in the choking air.
"Are you ready?" I asked Sasaki.
He nodded.
I placed my hands on his head and a light appeared, surrounding his entire body.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art," I began to chant, "Memory Return!"
The light grew brighter, nearly blinding us all. Its size had increased. And now, the mission had been completed.

The portal that lead back to the Fairy Tail world closed behind me as I stepped through it. Here I am, back home.
"It took you long enough." I heard a voice say from behind me.
"Sorry, the plan got slightly delayed." I replied
I turned to see Zeref standing behind me with the same solemn look on his face like always. He doesn't seem to have a changed a bit in the three years that I've been gone. I looked down at the soil beneath my feet, catching a glimpse of my new outfit.
"I see your finally noticing the outfit I have prepared for you." Zeref announced. I began tugging at the sides of my new dress. It was long and reached down to my mid-thigh, fairly short. I never thought that Master Zeref was a pervert. At the top was a hole shaped like a heart with swirls coming off the side. The hole revealed some stuff that shouldn't be open to the entire world.
I glanced down at the brown boots that replaced my previous shoes. As I stared down at my feet, I noticed a black mark on the side of my calf. It was the same shape as the hole in my dress. And then it all came back to me. The fight at the arena. Me losing to Siren. The mark. The guild mark of Liberam. A heart with swirls coming off the sides.
"What is this?" I asked furiously. I turned to Zeref and noticed him staring off into the distance.
"I might have made you an official member of Liberam." He said, scratching the back of his head. My anger was boiling up inside.
"You did this without consulting with me first?!" I asked furociously. He jumped back in defense with his hands in the air.
"I'm sorry!" He apologized.
"No you're not."
************
Once I finished scolding Zeref for his actions, he gave me the directions towards the Liberam guild hall. I was on my way there when I heard a tearing sound. I looked down and noticed that the rim of my dress had caught on the end of a branch.
My dress was now even shorter! I grasped the two ends and tied them together in a knot, making the mess look slightly neater.
************
I finally made it to my new guild hall. It wasn't much but a few sticks and stones. Hopefully their words don't hurt me. I pushed the large doors open and inhaled the scent of garbage. At least it was pretty close to that scent.
I was soon greeted by a familiar face.
"It's nice to see you again." Siren said with a hint of sarcasm. I nodded towards her and continued looking around.
"So this is the Liberam guild hall." I said in disgust. The walls were covered with moss and there was trash everywhere.
"We are too busy trying to take the number one spot. We don't have time to clean up." Another voice said. I later found out that his name was Yoso. Classy name for a member of a dark guild. Yoso is Japanese for "element."
"Fairy Tail is trying to make number one but the inside of their guild hall is cleaner than this dump." I murmured to myself.
"An anonymous character, the one who admitted you into the guild, explained your situation. We have come up with a plan for the upcoming Grand Magic Games." Siren began explaining the situation. Of course he would stay anonymous, he doesn't want to be noticed. He really hasn't changed.
"What's your plan?" I asked curiously.
"Because of Liberam's poor history with the council, we have decided to send in only one member of the guild." Yoso interrupted.
"I must be that solitary member you guys are talking about." I said with disappointment. I really wasn't in the mood for going into battle after only a short amount of time after returning to my home land. Especially since this is the year that the missing Fairy Tail members should return, which means they might enter the games. Natsu will be there. Erza will be there. And so on.
"You guessed it. Isn't this your lucky year to be a member of this guild." Yoso babbled.
"No, you're wrong. It is my lucky year to have returned." I responded. I guess that being able to battle against my former comrades to see who's stronger doesn't sound half bad.
