Gathering!

" Hmm, I see there are more of us here this time than the last time! Articuno, Moltress, Groudon, Kyogre, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Ho-oh, Darkrai, Shaymin, Latias, Latios, Uxie, Azel, Mesprit, Cresselia. Welcome! No doubt we are all here regarding the same thing. Still, I'm inclined to ask. Where are rayquaza, deoxys, regigigas, giratina, dialga, and palkia? Even heatran is missing?" The white dragon asked.

" Lugia, You know my brothers don't care for those damned birds."

" Groudon! Our brother was killed. Watch your tongue unless you want to lose it." The bird raged as a vortex of fire raged around it.

" I dare you to try pigeon!" Groudon roared

" Brother, that's enough!"

" Kyogre, dear sister. Why do you side with the birds?"

" I do not side with them, but I do know that this isn't the time or place" The lady of the water said

" Yes groudon, this is a matter of importance!" Lugia spoke up.

" Fine!"

" To answer your other question lugia. Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina have never been interested in the events of this world so long as they do not risk destroying time and space. And regigigas and heatran are busy guarding their regions." A dog with blue fur and long white hair spoke.

" Ha, Fair enough. Now then shall we begin?" Lugia said

" Let's! After all it's been thousands of years since the last phoenix has risen. I'm interested to see if our dear brother has returned." The bird with three golden feathers on its head said. " After all no ordinary being should be capable of killing one of us. I'm sure we all know Zapdos' strength."

Back to Marco

It had been a whole day since Marco and Mira had consummated their love for one another. Marco began to stir awake.

" Hm, how long did we sleep?" Marco asked as he looked out the window to see the sun rising again. As he moved about Mira began to wake herself.

" Marco? What's wrong?" Mira asked sleepily as she woke as well.

" I think we were sleep the whole day mira." Marco said as he walked back to the bed and kissed mira.

"Really?" Mira asked

Growl! Both their stomachs rumbled

" Yeah! I'm pretty sure that's our stomachs telling us that." Marco said as he laughed while Mira blushed. " What do you say we get something to eat after we get ready?" Marco asked

" Yes please." Mira said holding her stomach. " Marco."

" Yes, Mira are you ok?"

" My legs hurt can you carry me to the bath?" Mira asked

Marcos's face turned scarlet red as he nodded to mira, Picking the woman up and taking her to the bathroom to bathe.

" Alright! I'm gonna put you down for a minute so I can run the bath water." Marco said as he placed mira down on the toilet and began running the bath water.

" Ok!" Mira said as she was placed down

After about 5 minutes the bath was full of hot water and bubbles for miras pleasure

" Alright Mira! hold on." Marco said as he picked the girl up and placed her gently into the tub.

" Ahhhhh!" Mira sighed as she felt the warmth of the water on her skin.

" Alright!" Marco said as he went to leave.

" Marco where are you going?" Mira asked as the man got ready to leave

" Well, you're in the bath." Marco said confused

" Don't you mean OUR bath." Mira said in a sultry voice causing marco to blush and rush to join her in the tub " Ahaha! Marco slow down." Mira laughed as Marco jumped into the tub to join her

" Ahhhh! This is nice." Marco said as he leaned back against the tub with mira leaning back into his arms

" Yeah, it really is. Thank you marco."

" For what?"

" For loving me. For coming back." mira said as snuggled into his arms

" Always!" Marco said hugging the woman close to his body.

The two lovers enjoyed their time together relaxing in as simple bath.

" That was nice. It has been so long since I've sat down and had a bath." Marco said

" I could say the same. I usually take showers. They're quicker and easier." Mira said

" I know right. So, what do you want to eat today my snow fairy?" Marco asked causing mira to blush

" How about you surprise me!" Mira said with a smile

" Alright!" Marco said as he began looking through the cabinets for ingredients.

In the end Marco Made Pancakes, bacon, eggs, and toast. A pretty simple breakfast except. He made enough for 10 people. Marco and Mira feasted on the piles of food until there was nothing left.

" Burrrrp!" Marco belched as he finished his food. " Man, that hit the spot."

" You outdid yourself marco."

" I know I really put my foot into it that time."

" You ready to head to the guild Marco? I'm sure the others would love to know you're alive."

" Oh crap! I forgot I came straight here after I got back. Oh man Erza's going to try and kill me for that." Marco sighed as mira laughed. " Oh, that's funny huh?" Marco asked

" Yes."

" Well, I believe turnabout is fair play." Marco said with a sly grin on his face " How do you like this?" Marco said as he began tickling miras sides.

" Ahahahaha! Marco stop. That tickles." Mira said as she laughed. "

" What do you say?"

" I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Mira apologized through her laughter.

" All is forgiven!" Marco said puffing out his chest in triumph

" Marcoooo!" Mira said puffing out her cheeks and pouted at marco

" Haaa! Sorry love. But you asked for it." Marco laughed as they continued their walk towards the guild hall. Upon arriving Marco saw how far the guild halls reconstruction had been.

" Yo guys I'm Bac Ugh!" Marco yelled as burst through the door only to be tackled by a pink haired young man.

" MARCO!" The entire guild yelled

" Welcome back man, we thought you were toast." Wakaba said

" Yeah the magic council said you died killing that beast." Macao said

" I never doubted ya bird boy." Cana said

" Yes, you did liar!" wakaba said

" I'm happy to see you man." Gray said

" Yes, it certainly broke my heart to hear of your death." Erza said

"AYE!" Happy said crying

" HAhaha! I'm sorry to have made you all worry so much. Mind letting me go natsu?" Marco asked the crying man in his arm

Natsu simply got up and helped marco to his feet

" Oi! Natsu are you alright?"

" I thought I lost you too!" Natsu said holding back his tears

" Come on natsu! You should never count me down like that man." Marco said. " Listen guys we can catch up in a bit for now has anyone seen the master?"

" I'm here My boy what do you need?" Makarov said stepping forward

" I wanted to brief you on what happened. In private."" Marco said giving makarov a glance that could be easy to read

" Very well, follow me." Makarov said leading marco to a private tent.

Later

" Hmm I see, that is very troubling. For such a creature to exist without any record of it. It's no wonder the council has been trying to cover up such knowledge. Whatever the case, I'm happy you're still with us my boy.

" Of course, master. Thank you."

Suddenly a voice came from the outside

" Hello master. Marco, we wanted to know if you wanted to come with us on a trip." Gray asked

" A trip? Where to?"

" A festival town, come on its got a beach, a casino, a theme park. it'll be fun." Natsu yelled as he rushed in

" Yeah, come on marco you turned down my last job. You can make time to come with us this time." Lucy said

" Yes, I agree marco after such an experience I think you should take some time off." Erza said adding her own thoughts into the ring

The combined might of his opponents knocked out any kind of resistance marco had.

" Alright! Alright! Look let me go talk with mira and see what she thinks."

" She was the one who recommended we all go in the first place." Gray said

" What!" My own girlfriend threw me under the bus. Marco thought to himself. " Haaa! Alright fine we'll go together then." Marco said finally admitting defeat

" Alright!" everyone yelled.

Why do I have the creeping feeling that this isn't going to be a simple vacation. Marco thought to himself. " Oh boy, just another day in fairy tail.
