A young boy with the Fairy Tail mark is at Hargeon Port staring at the horizon.

??: "How long are you gonna stare at the sea?"

??: "Our job's done, let's head back to the guild"

The two figures speaking to the boy are revealed as Alzack and Bisca both of whom have since been married.

Bisca: "Come on kiddo"

Alzack: "Your dad's gonna start worrying if we don't get him back to the guild soon"

Bisca: "Your dad made it very clear that we're responsible for you, we gotta get you back home"

The boy staring out into the horizon is none other than Romeo Conbolt.

Bisca: "Cheer up, I know how you feel but we need to start moving"

Alzack: "Bisca" *shakes his head*

Romeo: "Natsu and big brother (Y/n)"

Fairy Tail has left their old guildhall and moved into a small tavern at the edge of the town and made it their base of operations.

Inside the guild, a man smashes his mug on the table.

??: "Why hasn't Romeo made it back to the guild yet?! I'm gonna be seriously pissed if Alzack and Bisca ditch the poor kid so just they can go make out"

The man is revealed to be Macao who appears much older than he is; he now sports much sharper facial features, among which include excess wrinkles, a receding hairline, and an extremely prominent mustache.

??: "Take it easy will ya. I mean it's not like he's a little boy anymore he's a young man now"

Wakaba has seemed to lose his signature pompadour to what appears to be a receding hairline, gaining a straighter-looking hairstyle; this being slicked upwards in a spiked shape. He also gains wrinkles on his face and has grown a thick, pointed beard on his chin.

Macao: *to Wakaba* "How many times do I have to tell you to call me master?! Get it together Wakaba!"

Wakaba: *to Macao* "Fourth Master my ass, I swear I've never seen such an undignified and incompetent leader!"

Macao: *to Wakaba* "Well that's because I got stuck with a horrible assistant like you!"

Ignoring Macao and Wakaba bickering is Max who's hair has become noticeably darker in color and has gotten longer, with some wavy strands of hair having replaced the two straight ones he sported before. Also, he has grown a small amount of chin hair.

Max: *rubbing his head & looking at the guildhall* "So is it just me or have you lost a lot of members"

Warren: "I guess that's to be expected Max, our guild's reputation and the number of job requests keep going down despite having 2 Wizard Saints"

Nab: "Oh come on at least we've got a few flyers left upon the board"

Warren: "What does it matter to you, how many are you there Nab? You haven't been on a job in seven years"

Nab: *looks down* "True"

The only difference in Warren's appearance seems to be his haircut, with his hair now being left free to partially cover his forehead, being styled in a single prominent spike on top of his head. However, for Nab, years seem to have taken their toll on him, as after the 7-years time skip he is shown with a prominent belly, having gotten visibly fat, and possibly having lost muscle mass. Other than that, his hair, while retaining the same haircut, has grown longer, almost reaching down to his shoulders, and now he also sports a thin beard around his mouth.

Vijeeter: "Check it out you guys I've finally finished my latest routine" *dances* "I call it 'The dance of the pathetic and feeble'"

Vijeteer's attire has become more elaborate, and yet less outlandish. He now sports an orange toga-like cloth, draped over his right shoulder and tied around his waist by a light sash with a knot on the left, with a dark, short-sleeved shirt under it. The most prominent addition to his outfit, however, is his round headgear.

Max: *eye-brow twitching* "If he doesn't cut it out I'm gonna have to strangle him"

??: *holding a chicken leg* "Hey Kinana? I'm ready for seconds"

Kinana's appearance has changed considerably. As she now sports longer hair and has grown noticeably taller and slimmer, additionally her bust has grown in size. Her new attire consists of a lime green-colored blouse with a green neckline and trim, which is complemented by a long, white skirt. She is also seen wearing green boots.

Kinana: "Okay sure thing"

??: "Um are you sure Droy? I think all of that food is catching up with you?"

Laki asks Droy whose style is reminiscent of her previous long cut, but wavier.

Droy: "If I didn't know any better, I would think you're calling me fat!"

Jet: "That's exactly what she's doing. Have you taken a look in the mirror lately"

Droy has become overweight, with his face gaining less-defined features and a larger nose as a result, as well as a prominent double chin. His hairstyle became simpler, with the cuts on the sides having disappeared, and the tuft on top of his head has gotten shorter. Whereas Jet hasn't changed that much except for his hair, which is now gathered on the back of his head and tied in a short, spiky ponytail by a dark band.

Jet: "Reedus used to be your size, look how slim he is now"

Reedus has reverted to his slim, original appearance. His cheekbones have disappeared, and his hair is also cut slightly shorter.

Reedus: "Oui. But I wasn't fat, Master put a spell on me"

Droy: "I don't know what you're talking about I'm still physically fit just look at my muscles"

Jet: "Everybody in the guild has matured even Kinana is more ladylike, on the other hand"

Droy: "SHUT UP! I have to eat a lot because it increases my Magic Power"

Laki: "Okay shut up you two"

Jet: "I mean what do you think Levy would say if she saw you like this?"

Droy: "Levy's never coming back"

This silences everyone inside the guild, including Droy himself. Suddenly, a group of men from the rival guild enters the guild.

??: "How pathetic, no matter what time I come, the place is always quiet. I guess no one wants to bring the business to your crummy guild"

??: "Fairy Tail's lost all its mojo"

Wakaba: "Thibault"

Macao: "I thought I told you to never set foot in this place ever again"

Thibault: "Come on now, show a little respect wherever you talk to your superiors. Twilight Ogre is the baddest guild in Magnolia, you should bow down and kiss our boots"

Thibault explains Fairy Tail used to be the strongest, but that time has ended. Angered, Macao asks why Thibault came. He says for the month's payment. Macao remembers all of a sudden, which prompts Wakaba to yell at him for forgetting. Macao attempts to defend, saying they barely got any work this month and will pay them next month. After Thibault's group reminds Fairy Tail how they helped them to get the tavern they currently live in, Thibault kicks Macao in the face and then lets his group wreck the guild up. Thibault then leaves, warning Fairy Tail not to forget next month.

After the group leaves, everyone in the guild notices Reedus' sketchbook, littered on the floor. The sketchbook contains Reedus' sketches of the guild members back when the guild was strong and complete. Everybody starts reminiscing about the time when the island disappeared and about how they tried to find them but failed.

Wakaba: "Well maybe it's time for us to call quits"

Laki: "How could you even suggest that?!"

Wakaba: *notices a downcast Macao* "Is something wrong Macao?"

Macao: "I'm sorry but I don't think I can keep this up for very much longer"

Wakaba: "No worries, you're doing a fine job... master"

Macao: *crying* "Poor Romeo, I haven't seen him smile once since the day they disappeared"

Suddenly, they hear rumbling and go outside to see what was going on. They see the Blue Pegasus's Magic Bomber, Christina Version 2. Ichiya falls out of the ship to talk to them. Ren uses his Magic to help Hibiki, Eve, and himself float while coming. The Trimens then quickly surround Laki,

Hibiki: "Laki, you're as pretty as ever"

Ren: "Yeah, you look hot for a girl in glasses"

Eve: "May I call you big sis?"

Laki: "Well... huh?"

Max: "DID YOU COME HERE JUST TO PICK ON CHICKS?!!!"

The Trimens then do the same with Kinana,

Hibiki: "Kinana, you have plans tonight?"

Ren: "Why'd you have to look so beautiful in that dress?"

Eve: "Tell me, would you like to have a little brother?"

Kinana: "Well Uh...?"

Max: "SERIOUSLY!!! WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?!!!"

Ichiya: "Cut it out you three, we've got business to attend to"

Trimens: "Our apologies sir"

Macao: "Hey Ichiya"

Wakaba: "What's the deal? Spill it out already"

Ichiya: "Man~ I shall never the parfum of friendship we had created, facing our foes together forget and of our greatest rival (Y/n)"

Hibiki: "We've been flying Christina around Fiore surveying Ethernano levels in the area and if our archives analysis data is correct then all of our hard work had paid off"

Ichiya: "Are you ready for this?" *poses* "Tenrou Island still exists"

In one last attempt to find their guildmates, Max, joined by Alzack, Bisca, Jet, Droy, and Warren, heads towards the place where the island was destroyed.

Bisca: *setting her binoculars down, to Alzack* "Are you sure we are looking in the right area?"

Alzack: "It does seem odd we haven't seen a thing

Warren: *trying to set a mental link* "This is where the Pegasus guys told us to go, they said there's something up with the levels"

Max: *looking at a map* "So what is anyway?

Warren: "Heck if I know, I'm guessing it's Magic particles or something?"

Max: "Having any luck with your ?"

Warren: *sets his hands down* "I'm not getting anything at all"

Bisca: "You know hon, I kinda feel bad about leaving Romeo behind"

Alzack: "Me too, maybe we should've brought him along after all"

Max: "Nah it's better this way cause there's no guarantee they're still alive"

Warren: "That's the grim truth, there's no point in getting everyone's hopes up"

Jet/Droy: *hugging each other excitedly* "We will see Levy!"

Bisca: *looking at Jet & Droy* "So much for not getting our hopes up"

Alzack: *looking at Jet & Droy* "Can't say I blame them though"

Warren: *to Jet & Droy* "WOULD YOU SHUT UP!!! *sighs* It's been seven years since we last heard of them we gotta consider the worst-case scenario"

Jet: *downcast* "We know"

Droy: *downcast* "Sorry guys"

Max soon notices a girl with long curly blonde hair standing on top of the ocean,

Max: "Anyone sees that?"

Jet: "A person?"

Warren: "There's no way. It's floating above the water"

Bisca: "You guys it's definitely a person"

Alzack: "Woah they're standing on the water"

Droy: "Who could it be?"

The girl raises both her hands and causes Tenrou Island, inside a sphere bearing the mark of the guild, to appear before them.

Bisca: "Oh my gosh! Is that it?!"

Max: "It's Tenrou Island!"

Warren: "It came out of nowhere!"

The girl then turns towards the island and heads for it.

Warren: "That girl, she's headed for the shore"

Max: "Quick let's follow her"

Jet: "Excuse me, miss"

Droy: "Wait for us!"

The group then follows the girl, who leads them to the Natsu's motionless and half-buried body.

Meanwhile back at the guild,

Macao: *to Romeo* "Hey Romeo, you upset about staying behind?"

Romeo: "Nah even if they do find Tenrou Island, I doubt anyone is alive"

Macao: "Don't be such a downer boy, you've gotta try to have a little faith"

Romeo: "But they've been gone for seven years"

Just then Thibault and his lackeys return,
