Fairy Tail; The Sequel

Chapter Twelve ; The Anima

Master Makarov was worried the Coy Brothers would attack again, so everyone was back to work. He had assigned everyone one of three groups. Natsu, Wendy, Erza, Gray, Gajeel, Laxus, Juvia, Mest, Bickslow, Evergreen, Freed, Varian, and Mirajane were in the first group. They were training outside of the guild.

The second group was researching the brothers, this consisted of Lucy, Levy, Rain, Lisanna, Cana, Loke, Happy, Kinana, Carla, Elfman, Macao, Romeo, and Laki. Most were engrossed in books, while some of them fooled around.

The last group was scouting out the area and keeping the guild safe. This group held Gildarts, The Master, Pantherlily, Porlyusica, Bisca, Alzack, Wakaba, Droy, Jet, Max, Reedus, Nab, Vijeeter, and Warren. The master had decided that each group was going to switch their jobs every hour.

In group one, Natsu and Gray were battling, while Erza and Mira battled. The rest were practicing on dummies or trying out new spells. The second group wasn't talking much, they were taking notes and reading. The last group was on high alert, they didn't want someone sneaking into the guild hall and hurting another one of their family.

"Master, group two thinks they've found something." Romeo whispered to the short man. He nodded and told Romeo to stay and take his place whilst her found out what the group knew.

The man sat in front of the group with a questioning look. "Hurry, I left Romeo in my place."

Levy nodded and stood up,"There might be a way to contact Mystogan."

Makarov's eyes widened in surprise,"What?"

The blue haired girl nodded,"All we need is a memory of the Anima and Varian's magic."

"Give me more information, child." The master groaned.

"If we can give Varian a memory of the Anima, he can use his Mirror Magic to recreate it."

"How do you know it'll work?"

"Oh, the idea was courtesy of Rain. She told us about his magic and came up with the whole thing." Lucy smiled at the dark haired girl.

Makarov nodded,"Alright, I'll let Jellal know. He can tell the rest of Crime Sorciere. Oh! Time to switch." He told the group. They all got up and walked out to the back to let the other wizards know it was their turn.

"What? I wanna train more!" Natsu whined, but Erza grabbed his ear and dragged him to the front of the guild with the rest of the group.

The groups were now in different places, doing different things. Group one was defending the guild hall, group two was training, and group three was researching a way to extract memories. In the training group, Rain had already fought Levy, Lucy, and Lisanna. She had won and didn't think there was a reason to battle anyone, instead she was practicing new spells. Lucy and Levy were fighting each other, while Loke and Elfman fought. Carla and Happy were strengthening their wings by flying through an obstacle course and the others were training with dummies.

The researching group had found certain things needed to make a memory extraction potion. Porlyusica and Warren had gone off to find the items they needed so far. Some of these were The Raining Flower, the brain of a dolphin, and a needle.

The defending group was bored out of their minds, but glad that nothing had happened. They were ready to fight, but they were also tired. Erza stood at attention, making sure there was no suspicious activity on one end on the building, while Mira did the same on the other end.

It took them hours, but Porlyusica and Warren had gathered all materials for the potion. All they needed now was someone who had seen the Anima and was willing to have their memories extracted. Makarov gathered everyone, including Crime Sorciere, in the guild hall. "We have found a way to get to Edolas." He announced, causing cheers to erupt in the hall, but Makarov shushed them all. "But-"
