[Third Person. POV.]

[Kisuke Urahara.]

High above, the sun was beginning to set, casting a golden hue over the vast expanse of the calm ocean. In the midst of this scene, a lone figure stood on the deck of a small boat, bobbing gently on the waves. Kisuke Urahara, his hat casting a shadow over his thoughtful face as he gazed at the spot where Tenrou Island should have been.

When he had spoken with Adam the night before. He had purposely let out the fact he was going to try and free his friends the next day. Mostly because he wanted to surprise him, partly because he didn't want to give him any false hopes.

Around him, the sea was calm, betraying no sign of the powerful magic that had sealed away an entire island and those who had been inside the spell radius at the time. To anyone but him, it would appear as if there was nothing there but the endless ocean. But Urahara knew better. He could feel the subtle fluctuations in the Ethernano currents, the almost imperceptible distortions in the air that hinted at the presence of the time distortion sealed within a bubble.

He reached into his coat, pulling out a small, intricately designed device. It was a magical tool of his own creation, designed to detect and interact with complex enchantments, one he had made for this occasion. 

"Well, here goes nothing," Urahara activated the device, and it began to emit a low hum, its lights flickering in response to the hidden spell.

Carefully, he adjusted the dials, fine-tuning the device to resonate with the spell's frequency. As he worked, he could sense the barriers of time that were set around the spell beginning to respond, the magic that held Tenrou Island in its timeless grip wavering ever so slightly.

"As I thought, this spell operates like the Dangai; at least on a fundamental level," Urahara muttered to himself. "Which means, the key to unlocking the spell lies in understanding its rhythm, its changing pattern. And the amount of energy holding it together."

He closed his eyes, focusing on the task at hand. Magic, much like Spiritual Power, wasn't something you could see, in the way others saw things. For this, the device he had created, served as an extension of his own senses, allowing him to perceive the layers of the spell in a way that no one else could. He could see without really seeing, the intricate web of magic that wove through time and space, a complex equation that deserved in his eyes praise on its own.

That being said, beautiful or not, he would crack it down. 

Smiling, he began to manipulate the device, each adjustment bringing him closer to penetrating the spell's defenses. The air around him started to shimmer, a visible sign of the magical forces at play.

Magic clashing against magic. Creating in turn, natural phenomena.

After what seemed like hours of tweaking, learning and adapting to the spell's ever changing formula, there was a sudden shift in the air, a feeling of something giving way. Urahara's eyes snapped open, and he looked up just in time to see the sea before him begin to ripple and churn.

"It seems I have outplayed you, Miss Mavis," Urahara smiled, wondering if the tiny guild master could even hear him from within the spell.

Regardless of that, the spell was reacting, the invisible barrier that held Tenrou Island beginning to falter under the pressure of his relentless probing. He watched, a mix of excitement and pride, as the water started to swirl, forming a vortex where the island should have been.

As the vortex grew larger, the air filled with the sound of rushing water and the crackle of magical energy. Urahara stood his ground, his eyes fixed on the swirling waters. Ready to intervene at any given moment. 

And then, with a final surge of power, the spell shattered, creating ripples in the water that expanded far beyond the eye before the waters calmed as suddenly as they had stirred, as what had been lost, returned.  The spell had been broken, and the island, along with its inhabitants, had been returned to the world.

"Hm, the place is bigger than I imagined," Urahara said, watching the now returned Tenrou Island. Grabbing his hat from the floor, which had probably dropped from his head during the entire ordeal, he let out a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face. 

He had done it. He had broken the spell and freed Adam's friends as he had promised.

As Urahara adjusted his hat, basking in his genius, while surveying the large, verdant island that had just emerged from its magical prison, he heard a voice, soft yet clear, cutting through the sound of the gentle waves. He turned to see a figure materializing before him.

"Well that was faster than I expected," Urahara said, mostly to himself.

Thanks to the pictures he had seen, and the information Adam had given him, he knew without a doubt that the one before him was Mavis Vermillion, the first master of Fairy Tail, known for her immense intellect, earning her the moniker of the Tactician. 

She stood there on the water, her feet not touching the boat, her youthful face marked by a mixture of curiosity and caution.

"Who are you?" she asked, her gaze fixed intently on Urahara.

Urahara bowed slightly. "A pleasure to meet you, Mavis. My name is Kisuke Urahara. I am a… member of Fairy Tail, and Adam's best friend, don't let him tell you otherwise. And to answer your next question, I came here to break the spell that had imprisoned this island and its inhabitants in time, one of yours at that, correct?"

Mavis studied him for a moment, her eyes reflecting the wisdom of someone who had seen far more than her youthful appearance would suggest. "You broke the spell, without altering the formula, or hurting anyone inside…" she said, not as a question, but as a statement of fact. "I did not think it was possible for someone outside Ze… nevermind."

Urahara chuckled softly. "Well, I must confess, it was quite an enjoyable puzzle. But in the end, like most things, no matter how complex it seems, it follows certain rules and patterns. Understanding those was the key, and once you understand them, it's all a matter of knocking."

Mavis seemed to ponder his words, then a small smile appeared on her lips. "So, you are the Guild Master of our Guild now?."

Urahara waved his hand dismissively. "Me? Oh God now, I'm far too handsome for that. That would be Adam."

Mavis's smile widened slightly, before her eyes widened as much as they could. "Adam?! As in Adam Clive?!"

Urahara blinked. "Yes… did I forget to mention him earlier?" He had not, but Mavis' reaction was making him think he didn't say the best friend thing he had been planning to annoy Adam. "Did I mention we are BFFs."

"He's… alive?" Mavis choked, her eyes filling with tears. 

Urahara frowned in confusion. "Of course, he is. Why wouldn't he... right, I see it now." He had almost forgotten that when he met Adam the kid had been on the verge of true death. "I understand your shock, but he's fine, so much so, he's the new Guild Master."

Mavis let out a shaky breath, wiping away the tears from her eyes. "I'm sorry, it's just... the last time I saw him, he... well, I thought he was gone forever."

Urahara's expression softened. "I understand. But he's here now, and he's doing great. And how could he not, we are BFFs."

Mavis smiled, a small frown dawning on her face as she glared at Urahara. "You must be confused, perhaps its too much sun, but the thing is... Adam is MY best friend."

Urahara raised an eyebrow, a playful grin spreading across his face, to think he would be able to annoy two people with this bit, coming to this world was a gift that just kept on giving. "Is that so? Well, I suppose there's nothing wrong with having more than one best friend, is there?" he teased. "Although, I must warn you, I am quite the charming fellow. Any friend of mine is sure to be the luckiest person in the world."
