Penny knew that she would have caused Jasmine grief. Her dying... But she had not expected Jasmine to have actually fought the creature while she was otherwise indisposed. She was relieved that the girl was okay and seemed more than prepared to help her in this attack. Focusing the her magic into the attack, she watched as the dragon stumbled, once, twice, three times- and finally fell to the ground.

She had to force herself to stop, wanting to end it here and now. She wasn't going to kill... not again. She hesitated, watching the dragon to see if it would recover, before she finally turned back towards Jasmine.

[color=f7976a]"I... I'm sorry, Jasmine. I... I didn't know that was going to happen. I... wasn't fast enough." [/color]She bowed her head, letting out her breath slowly before taking another deep breath. [color=f7976a]"What I am... I had the choice to come back, because of being a Phoenix Slayer... I am a Phoenix."[/color] Saying those words aloud, it shook her to her very core. But what other choice had she had?

[color=f7976a]"Are you okay?"[/color] She asked Jasmine, absently reaching up to give Ignatius a pat, not seeming to be phased by the fact the exceed was perched on her shoulder like a strange bird. [color=f7976a]"I don't think the rest of the dragons will be that easy... it was injured... that attack... a unison raid, I didn't know we could do that."[/color] They'd been through a lot together, in the short time they'd known each other... she still never would have imagined that they could pull off such a powerful attack together.

Shifting at once to move out the way, Sasha was stopped by Lazarus leaping in front of her. She could almost be angry at him- she had told him to be careful too, hadn't she? She didn't want to lose him, but the sheer... protectiveness of the action had her softening. No matter what anyone else thought about Lazarus, he was a good man- and would be a good father. She hadn't planned on falling in love with him... it had just happened and now... Sometimes she still couldn't believe they were going to have a child. 

She lay one ice covered hand on her stomach when he looked to it, gave him a smile. She'd make sure they'd all get home. There was simply no other result that she'd tolerate. As he called to her, Sasha stepped up, her gaze going to the dragon. It really was a magnificent creature, even as it was terrifying. She had fought demons, but compared to this... the Dragon's seemed to radiate power, radiate magic in a way that let you know they were powerful and deadly. Demon's just sought to overwhelm and control. Dragons... There was no question that they were the kings and queens of this world. 

Her gripped tightened on the ice lance she held and she drew in a deep breath, before she shouted out [color=00aeef]"Ice Queen: Lance of the Narwhal!"[/color] And threw it directly towards the dragon, aiming for an eye, or something else vulnerable- she just knew if it hit the scales, it wouldn't do anything but minor damage to it. 

There was so many attacks going on... as Mayt tried to draw the Dragon's attention, Sasha could only hope that everything would work together... the quicker they took out even one dragon, the quicker that they could help the others.

The dark haired young appearing man wearing black robes and a white toga draped over one shoulder, seemed to appear out of no where. His high collar framed a serious face, as he surveyed the scene of destruction, the dragons looming over the mages that ran rampet over the island. Some must have the blood of Fairy Tail in them, the long dead guild still causing him headaches even this far into his plans. Briefly, he wondered how many years had truly passed before deciding that it didn't matter. 

The previous Dragon Slayers, six children hurtled through time 400 years into the future to fulfil his plans, to end his long years of solitude and waiting... they had succumbed, becoming the dragons they were meant to slay. Watching the scene a few moments, the Black Mage known of Zeref, perhaps the most powerful mage in the world, began to walk. 

He began to once more gain control of the situation. He wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but he had no doubt that Mavis was involved in some way, and Fairy Law. He vaguely remembered that fool Makarov doing something... No doubt the old man had died using Fairy Law, with limited years left... it would have taken his whole strength. Of course, Mavis could have interfered in some way, she had been, even then, powerful. 

Absently, Zeref directed magic towards the dragons, halting their attacks and bringing them under his control in one fell sweep. With disgust he noted that one had been, if not defeated, certainly put out of the game for the time being.

His gaze swept over the guild mages, and then stopped abruptly, moving back to the small, somewhat child like figure. 

[color=black]"Mavis... "[/color] 

[centre][img]https://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/mavis-vermillion-gif-8.gif[/img][/centre]

Somewhere on the island, the first guild master of Fairy Tail sat, watching the scene unfold before her. The ever young mage hummed as she thought of numerous ways things might go and just how she could effect the outcome. The small amount of magic she was using to create the illusion of herself where the others were was of no consequence to her. 

She hummed to herself, her eyes fluttering from one thing to the next, only pausing as the sound of footsteps reached her ears. [color=ed145b]"Hello, Loki."[/color] She said without looking up from what she was studying. [color=ed145b]"It's been a long time. i trust you are doing well?"[/color] 

[color=orange]"Guild Master... "[/color] The spirit, known as Loki to the Fairy Tail members, spoke respectfully. [color=orange]"Is... is she here?"[/color] 

At the hitch in Leo's voice, Mavis looked up, her child like features falling into grief. [color=ed145b]"No... I'm sorry, Loki. She died... but perhaps it would be of comfort to know, that she does live on in a way... a form of immortality is children... and you serve one of her... hm... great grandchildren, I believe. You didn't know?"[/color] 

[color=orange]"She... "[/color] 

[color=ed145b]"Yes. She died, and I guided the child to Fiore. With your key. I could have sent Lucy home as well, but she didn't want to go... she refused to leave... I wish I had made her."[/color] 

Leo was silent for a few moments, composing himself. [color=orange]"Did she... Did she leave anything?"[/color] 

[color=ed145b]"You mean the keys. Her spirits."[/color] Mavis said, reaching for a rather old, battered bag. "[color=ed145b]Yes. Her journal is there too. Answers, I imagine, for the others."[/color] Leo reached out, taking the bag and closing his eyes. The keys were there... his companions could finally be free, after 100 years trapped... that at least was some consolation. 

[color=ed145b]"Well, come on. Time to return."[/color] Mavis said, but even as she rose, she reached over and gave Leo's hand a squeeze. [color=ed145b]"She named her son Leo. Leo Dragneel."[/color] She started towards the battle, her thoughts once more turning towards various strategies. As they neared the scene, she let her illusion fade. None seemed to notice her, a young woman appearing on the scene. Of course, everyone was distracted by the dragons. 

Which was reasonable. But still. [color=ed145b]"Go to your boy." [/color]Mavis said to Leo, [color=ed145b]"He's doing well... he definitely needed you."[/color] She urged the spirit onward, towards Gabriel, amidst the dragons and his guild mates, his allies. Her gaze moved onward, right to the spot where Zeref appeared moments later. 

[color=ed145b]"Zeref, you will do no more harm here!"[/color] Mavis shouted over the noise, her voice seemed to reach even the far side of the island, as she kept her gaze on the dark haired man. [color=ed145b]"You will never harm anyone again!"[/color]
