267. Reunion

"Fairy Sphere: Deactivate!"

After Ben chanted it, a massive bright golden magic barrier with a Fairy Tail symbol comes out of the sea. The barrier is a little transparent and everyone can see its inside. There is a massive tree standing on an island, it is without a doubt Tenrou Island.

"I-It's really Tenrou Island," says Mira with tears on the corners of her eyes.

The others also start to tear up when they see the golden barrier starts to disappear. They've waited for 3 years and finally, they can save their friends on the island. In a short time, Tenrou Island's original appearance can be seen again.

Ben is very happy too. He was very nervous before because he might fail. Everyone depends on him to deactivate the Fairy Sphere and save their friends, after all. So he has a lot of expectations on his shoulders.

He actually found Fairy Sphere magic book some months after he became a Guild Master. When he found the book, he realizes that it was the magic used on Tenrou Island. Learning it wasn't too difficult for him but there's a big problem, he wasn't the one who activated it.

Fairy Sphere is high-level magic and it has some level too. The one used on Tenrou Island is the highest level because it can hide the island. So Ben knows it's the highest level with the manipulation of space & time.

He needs a few months to fully understand the magic. Even so, he couldn't immediately use it to deactivate the one used on Tenrou Island. It's because he wasn't the one who activated it, but someone else did.

Deactivating someone else's magic is difficult already. Even more so when the magic is a high-level one with the manipulation of space & time. He needed to research it thoroughly and learn more about space & time.

Even with AI Chip's help, it takes him more than 2 years to find the answer. He also needs to have a lot of magic power to deactivate the magic that could hide a whole island in another dimension.

The one who activated it must've used a lot of magic power, so he who tried to deactivate it needs to use more magic power. But all that problem has been solved now and they have succeeded.

Ben teleports to the airship and they immediately go to the island. They can see where their friends that they've missed a lot in these 3 years in an open area. Without waiting any longer, the airship goes down and lands in the open area.

The ones who were trapped on Tenrou Island are looking at the airship warily. But they get very surprised when they see their guild symbol on the airship. They get even more surprised when they see the ones who come out of the airship.

Before anyone can say anything, Ben, Bella, & Mira runs to the Tenrou Island group. Ben & Bella immediately hug Wendy & Carla while Mira hugs Elfman & Lisanna. They are crying as they hug their family that they haven't seen for 3 years.

"B-Ben nii-san?" asks Wendy with a surprised voice.

"Yeah, it's me," says Ben while sobbing.

Wendy also cries and hugs him back. It might've been 3 years for Ben & co, but it's just a moment ago for Wendy & co. So Wendy has just seen Ben, Mira, & Bella getting blasted by Acnologia's attack.

She is still confused by the situation because an airship suddenly appeared and her guildmates came out of it. But she is also very relieved that Ben, Mira, & Bella are fine. The others also think the same as her.

"Ben, just what happens here?" asks Makarov with relief but a confused voice.

"Master, long time no see. Well, it might just be a few minutes for you," says Ben before he explains what happened so far.

After Ben explained what happened 3 years ago and the Tenrou Island group gets very surprised. They have survived from Acnologia and 3 years have been passed in mere seconds for them. But they are also confused about how it could happen.

"I wonder who casted that magic?" ponders Makarov.

"Eh? It's not you?" asks Ben with a surprised tone.

"No, I am not good with Fairy Sphere. I can't make one that can cover this whole island," says Makarov.

"Then who was it?" ponders Ben deeply.

"It was me," an unknown female voice suddenly replies to Ben's question.

Everyone looks at where the voice comes from which is above them. They see a little girl with blonde hair floating above them and she comes down slowly. All of them get surprised seeing her that some even get on their guards.

"You are- First Master!" says Makarov with a surprised tone.

"Ooh, First Master," says Cana calmly as if she has met the First Master.

"Cana-chan, long time no see," says the First Master, confirming that both of them have met at some point.

Everyone else is confused though because from what they know, the First Master, Mavis, has passed away. Ben is the same as everyone else, but he is also surprised by something else.

"Ho-How can you be here? I'm sure your body is- Wait! This feeling, are you a spirit?" asks Ben.

"That's right, I am just a spirit. But you've just mentioned my body. It seems you've seen it. Also, you could deactivate the Fairy Sphere that I made. I know you are an incredible Mage when you came here and fought that dragon 3 years ago. But you are actually more amazing than I thought," says Mavis while looking at Ben curiously.

"First Master's body?" asks Makarov with wide eyes.

Ben just remembers that Mavis's body under their guild building is a secret.

"Let's talk about it later, Masters. I will also explain everything that happens in these 3 years. For now, we need to go back to the guild. The ones who stay behind must've been waiting for us," says Ben, changing the topic.

".... Alright, there's nothing to do here anymore, so we should go back," says Makarov while nodding.

They all get on the airship, including Mavis. The Tenrou Island group is looking at the airship very curiously. But they also feel rather familiar with the airship's shape.

"This was Grimoire Heart's airship, I stole and modified it," says Ben.

That short explanation is enough for them. They don't need to ask for the details on how Ben stole this airship. They know that to steal this airship, Ben must've destroyed Grimoire Heart, and they know he is capable to do it.

The airship takes off and flies at high speed toward Magnolia. As it moves, Natsu & Gajeel suddenly collapse because of their motion sickness. Wendy forgot to cast her spell to remove their motion sickness even though she casted it on herself.

But then she realizes that Ben doesn't get motion sickness too. She asks about it but Ben just rubs her hair without saying anything. Wendy knows that Ben must've found a way and wants to keep it a secret for now so she doesn't ask anymore.

The Tenrou Island group is looking around the airship as it flies. They never thought that their guild will have an airship. This airship is also big, bigger than Blue Pegasus's airship, Christina. It's also very fast and they arrive on Magnolia just in 10 minutes.

The airship docks in its hangar which is the massive square metal building. The Tenrou Island group looks at the hangar like country bumpkins, even the always 'Oh so cool' Laxus. Then they cross the bridge and meet with the ones who stay behind.

The new members who never met them don't react much, but the more senior members cheer happily, and even cry. Porlyusica who comes also tears up happily. They all have waited for this day to come since 3 years ago.
