Outside the Fiore Kingdom airspace a magic airship is flying above the continent was the airship belonging to Grimoire Hearts inside the interior of the ship's throne room.

Ultear dressed in her Grimoire Hearts uniform asked her conversation with Hades about an event occurring today, "The Oración Seis? I see… They're on the move hmm…? What will you do? Master Hades?"

Hades revealed that much information to Ultear nods sitting on his throne explaining their next course of actions in a neutral tone, "Let them be. If they go on the move, the official guilds can't stay silent. We can use the diversion to hunt for the key to remove the seal on Zeref. If circumstances go our way, they could eliminate certain troublesome guilds for us."

Ultear pleasantly smiled at this mentioning one name coming to mind, "Fairy Tail… for instance?"

Hades merely crookedly smiled at the thought while complimenting Ultear on her work in causing this issue in the first place, "Hopefully. But it was thanks to you that you created another distraction causing the Oración Seis to act giving them knowledge of where to locate Nirvana and the keys to do so."

Ultear merely grinned giving the info for them to react granting them another distraction while obtaining the keys thinking to herself, 'The sooner we obtain the keys and unseal Zeref the sooner my own plans will succeed. No matter how many sins I have to commit to make my dream come true.'

Meanwhile back in Magnolia Town Silva was approaching the guild entering through the gates his eyes landed on a crowd inside the guild a raised eyebrow at the chart of the Dark Guilds as Mirajane explained to Lucy, "An organization chart for the Dark Guilds. Their movements these days seem to be coordinated. So we'll have to build up bonds between our guilds too."

Witnessing the commotion going on around the guild leaning on the side listening to the other member's conversation with Elfman asking confused at the board, "What's the big gathering of Dark Guilds there for?"

Juvia standing next to him opens her mind in a confused tone as well to Elfman, "Juvia knows. They're the most powerful of dark guilds. The Ballam Alliance."

Mirajane soon explains more about them in a concerned tone with the massive movements of what's occurring lately in the Magic World, "The Ballam Alliance is made up of the 3 most powerful guilds… All of them have several Dark Guilds under their direction, and they control the underworld."

Silva looked at the board with mild interest till Juvia noticed him and smiled bragging taking down a large number of guilds under her, "Ah! Silva-sama when Juvia and Gajeel were in Phantom Lord, we crushed a bunch of Dark Guilds, all under Oración Seis!"

Silva merely nodded agreeing with her but also sweat dropped a bit responding, "Don't smile when you say it."

Soon a guild member commented about Oración Seis consisting of only 6 members jokingly thinking how only 6 make the group till Mira scolds him in a serious tone, "Remember, that guild with just 6 wizards is still considered the strongest!"

*Shk*

The guild member flinched till everyone all heard the voice of Makarov announcing an essential news causing all to look at him in shock, "Actually, about Oración Seis… We're going to be taking them on!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

"!!!"

Shocked filled the room listening to Makarov's voice announcing it with certainty in his tone as Erza questions his meaning, "Master, just what… are those words intended to mean?"

Explaining what he meant Makarov responded in a serious tone matching his expression towards everyone listening intently, "The other day at the regular meeting, it became a topic of concern that the Oración Seis was moving openly. And so, it became something we could no longer ignore. Some guild or other must go to take them down."

Gray standing near Ur clicked his teeth at the news voicing his concern, "And we drew the short straw again, old man?"

Ur voices out confused about the news since returning from Lamia Scale a few days ago, "It's now Fairy Tail duty?"

Makarov only shook his head at the two's ideas correcting them in a serious tone, "No… this time the enemy is too great. If we were the only ones who went after them, the entire Ballam Alliance would then target us alone. And so…"

Pausing for dramatic effect with everyone in the guild holding in their worry till he finally revealed the truth, "We've decided to form our own alliances!!!"

"Alliances!!"

Surprised by this development Makarov continued explaining the situation in a serious tone expressing the direness of the events, "Fairy Tail… Blue Pegasus… Lamia Scale… and Cait Shelter. Each four of our guilds will choose members to send, combine their strength, and take down Oración Seis."

Chatter began to descend amongst the guild members of Fairy Tail guild about the events unfolding.

*Chatter*

"I don't get it. Why?"

*Chatter*

"Yeah, just us should be plenty to take them on! Wait! I should be plenty by myself!"

*Chatter*

"The master is concerned with the repercussions."

*Chatter*

"Hold it… wait just a second…"

*Chatter*

"We're against only six, right?"

While the guild members were chattering as he looked around seeing the members present for today's preparations, 'Hmm… seems like the Thunder Tribe aren't here and I have a job for Juvia and Gajeel to do in the meantime…'

As he looks over, he views Silva, and Erza recalling the events of the two along with their feats he knows their might would be needed as Mystogan is nowhere to be found and Laxus is expelled from the guild.

Gazing around the other members Makarov landed on Mirajane considering they did have another S-Class on the team would be vital to their success.

However, he shook the idea away remembering that the Oración Seis are trying to get Nirvana a legendary Magic Tool that can change the user from light to dark having someone like Mira would be especially bad considering her <Satan Soul> could take her over if such a thing were to occur thus not choosing Mira for this mission with such risk involved.

But with Erza and Silva both having worked before also worked well in combat at least getting used to each other finally responding in a clear tone the Guild members soon become silent as Makarov clears his voice announcing the group participating, "I'm sending our strongest members from the get-go to take care of this issue! Silva Knight and Erza Scarlet you both shall go on behalf of Fairy Tail!"

The two looked surprised as they looked at each other nodding in agreement with no issue as Natsu interjected wanting to join in the mission, "Wait?!!!! Why just Silva and Erza? I want to go as well!!!"

Makarov looked towards Natsu and sighed at his actions replying to him in a tired tone, "Sigh… I'm currently sending our strongest members. We no longer have Laxus and Mystogan is on a job. But Silva has proven himself someone who is capable."

Natsu grumbles at this trying to join in the important mission at hand as he exclaims, "Come on gramps! Let me join them! I'm strong enough!"

Soon Gray interjected Natsu's words causing Salamander to mumble under his breath from his words, "Shut it flame brain, the decision's already been made!"

However, Silva spoke out surprising Makarov speaking out of letting Natsu join in the important mission, "Actually Master would it be alright Natsu to come? If the Oración Seis is as dangerous as you say, then having extra firepower wouldn't hurt right?"

Erza agreed with Silva's statement seeing how eager Natsu was since he hadn't fought against Laxus responding in a confident tone, "I seconded that. It wouldn't hurt to have some extra help and I can keep him in check."

Makarov looked between the two and sighed agreeing to let Natsu join in this dangerous mission, "If you're both requesting it, then very well. Natsu go ahead and join them."

Natsu trembles with excitement as he breathes out fire finally getting a chance to voice out his excitement, "I'm all fired up! But Happy must join!"

Happy flies up with Silva shrugging and Erza agreeing to Natsu's demands, "Aye, sir!"

With everything settled Makarov nods his head in agreement with the choices made, "Then it's decided."

Approaching Erza's direction Makarov hands her the marked map to the meeting location with directions in a serious tone, "You four will leave first thing tomorrow morning and meet at the designated point."

Erza nods and promises to Makarov as he begins walking away the group looks towards at the large board, "We won't let you down, Master! And you all rest well today, we have a big day tomorrow."

The group nodded parting ways each off to prepare for the battle ahead of them for tomorrow's upcoming day against one of the Ballam Alliance's strongest Dark Guilds at the time.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the Worth Woodsea, a large forest covering the land stands a man witnessing the view along with 5 others.

The man named Erik with a snake is a slim man of average height with dark tan skin and spiky, upward-styled maroon hair; aside from a tuft covering his forehead and two bangs framing his face and purple slit-pupil eyes.

Erik's outfit consists of an elaborate whitish coat with purple inner lining and cuffs intricately decorated by silver-colored motifs, and many studs lined up the chest, the high collar, and the sleeves, which have armbands seemingly made of metal around them above Erik's elbows.

Below it, Erik wears a dark shirt, and he also sports a pair of crimson leather pants held up by a studded belt, with more similar belts circling diagonally the upper parts of his legs, and simple brown shoes.

Erik voices out with his group listening intently to the sounds of the land in an excited tone, "I can hear it… the sound of light going extinct!"

Racer coming towards him with his arms open replied to Erik's statement using his codename in a neutral tone, "You're racing ahead of yourself, Cobra. But I shouldn't complain about racing."

Erik merely tilted his head towards Racer impatient to find the lost Magic, "That magic we talked about is hidden here, Racer!"

Soon Richard Buchana codename Hoteye the tallest member of Oración Seis, Richard is a large and imposing man whose appearance is peculiar in the fact that he looks both quite feminine and, most curiously, has a body consisting of geometrical forms with sharp angles, not possessing rounded parts. He has long, wavy, and flowing orange hair reaching down below his shoulders, bright blue eyes with long eyelashes, a prominent, flat nose, and full, red feminine lips.

His large forehead tops his eyes directly, due to the seeming lack of eyebrows. His massive torso and arms look even more massive if compared to his head, relatively small in comparison, and to his thin legs.

Richard's outfit consists of a loose black shirt, with light sleeves adorned by a series of dark merged rhombuses, a large, white collar closed on the front going down to cover his shoulders, and a sash tied around his waist, visible under it, and simple light pants tucked inside light boots, with the parts circling his calves being reminiscent of leg warmers. Circling Richard's neck is a large necklace made of brown beads, which has a pendant hanging from it, taking the shape of an eye flanked by two small, wing-like protrusions.

Hoteye merely responded waiting in excitement for the dream to come, "The magic that brings darkness and sends all light to extinction!"

Sorano with the codename Angel is a beautiful young girl. She wore a dress with white frills on the skirt and on the collar; a dark, short-sleeved blouse over the top of her dress; a light bow tied around her collar that fell upon her chest; and ribbons in her hair. She has light-colored hair that reaches just below her shoulders; the front portion was cut at about her nose level.

Sorano is a young woman of relatively small stature with pale skin, brown eyes, and short silvery hair, with bangs covering her forehead. As her codename suggests, Sorano's attire is evocative of the conventional image of an angel: she wears a short dress made up of white feathers with two feathery wings that hang from her back.

Angel merely named the Lost Forbbiden Magic they seek, "Nirvana!"

*Snoore*

*Snoore*

Another member sleeping is Macbeth codenamed Midnight is a very lean, slightly effeminate young man with short spiky black hair on the top, and longer, straight white hair on the bottom; he has long strands of white hair framing either side of his face, with the right strand being adorned by five maroon beads. Macbeth's red Oración Seis Mark is located on his right shoulder, and he wears dark nail polish.

He wears a black leather vest with white fur trimming, a white armlet around his right bicep, and a black choker around his neck. Macbeth also wears a pair of yellow pants with black designs on them and burgundy boots; there are spiked bracelets on his wrists and skull earrings in his ears.

And the final member Brain the Guild Leader of the Oración Seis has neat silver hair that reaches his shoulders, dark eyes, and dark skin. He has unique markings on his face that take the shape of straight black lines wearing his formal Magic Baurea uniform with a cape and staff.

Brain spoke out sensing the Magic of Nirvana in the area excited to finally have located the Forbidden Magic Tool, "The legendary magic… will soon be in our hands!"

Racer having doubts voiced his thoughts to Brain of hoping for everything on Nirvana with skepticism in his tone, "Should we really be putting that much hope in it? This Nirvana Magic?"

*Chiririnng*

Pointing his staff in the direction of the Wood Worthsea the forest is starting to show signs of deuterating the land as black particles can be seen as Brain proclaims at the scene, "Observe! The land has started its march to death! Just because Nirvana is close by!"

The Oración Seis witnessing the scene could only agree as Brain voices his concerns about the legal guild's attempt to stop them in a serious tone, "But before we could locate and awaken Nirvana we have to take care of the remaining pest in our way. Have our Dark Guild grunts hide inside the forest prepared for an ambush against them, they won't know what hit them expecting only 6 of us but not a small army!! Hahaha!!!"
