The Sixteen Elemental Dragons

New Looks and Their Return

~A Week Later In The Port Town of Hargeon, The Day Before They Arrive At Fairy Tail~

Natsu, Fuyu, Chaos, Wendy, Ellie, and Mina were walking through town chatting about the developments they've made in their powers and changing their looks as they walked by clothing stores.

Natsu changed the jacket style he had worn during the Grand Magic Games for their team to a completely sleeveless variant and a new pair of boots similar to the ones her wore in Edolas, but he didn't change his wrist bands or pants. The man still proudly wore his muffler from Igneel around his neck.

Fuyu got a new leather jacket but had the left sleeve cut off and covered because it would've slowed him down in a fight. His shoes were switched to a set of sandals similar to Natsu's and set of shin sleeves covered his pants, hiding ankle weights he bought from a different shop down the street.

Chaos giggled and winked at the two, finding it cute that the two always kept their clothing styles consistent with their previous ones. She had substituted her gray pants for a medium-length gray skirt, bought a light blue hair clip that was shaped like a music note, and got shoes exactly like Fuyu's pair.

Ellie got a more casual attire, consisting of a light green shirt, dark brown pants, and a set of matching shoes that complimented her figure perfectly.

Mina was happy with what she had on and helped Wendy, who purchased a pink top with a dark blue skirt to wear over a new pair of leggings cause the old outfit she had was riddled with holes or tears from the combat training she had with Natsu and Ellie.

Laxus and Gajeel were outside of town, talking to each other about the new powers the training provided them, and laughed together when they changed the topic to recent events from their perspectives.

As the two groups met back up together, they chatted for a few minutes then began making their way to Magnolia.

~Mid-afternoon the Next Day~

The dragonslayers of Fairy Tail returned home and walked into their guild hall, some waving to their family while wearing proud smiles.

Every member stared at them in astonishment, feeling the overwhelming power that was just their combined presences from being in the room. Their development even shocked Gildarts who was back only for a few days before going on another SS-class quest.

"I need to speak to you lot in my office right now please." said Master Makarov from his seat at the bar.

Everyone nodded and followed their master upstairs.

"Two wizards came here a few days ago, looking for you all, and said they had valuable information to give you, but when they found that you all were gone, the two left telling me where they would be camped. They are at a archeological dig site halfway from her to Crocus. The trip should only take a few hours if you use the quick way to transport yourselves." stated the master informingly.

"Thanks for telling us, Master. So guys, want to head over tomorrow?" asked Fuyu.

The other agreed and they left to go home and rest for the big day they'd have tomorrow, fore it will be a tiring, yet, very large learning experience for them all...and several others.

~Two Hours After Sunrise~

The dragonslayers gathered at the guild and were happy to find that a few others wanted to go too. Levy, Lucy, Romeo, Mira, Erza, and the Exceeds asked if they could go too and were accepted quickly with smiles all around.

Everyone, except Fuyu and Chaos, were transferred to inside Chaos's Void Ring and relaxed together during the travelling.

Meanwhile, the other two smiled and flew across the ground under them, leaving a large gust of wind in their wake.

The only questions everyone had on their minds were "Who are these people and what is it they want to tell us?"

A/N: Nothing much to say here so I'll just leave you all be and wish you all a great day/night.
