(Third Person POV)
[Outside The Coast of Fiore]
In the waters outside the coast of Fiore, there was a massive fleet of ships that sailed towards the land. Above, in the skies, another fleet of Airships hovered, casting a dark shadow.
On one of the ships, on the deck, Zeref sat on a throne, leaning on his arm as he had a smirk on his face.
"So.." He said, "Our Vanguard was met with some resistance, eh?"
Invel, who was next to him, nodded, "Yes." He said, "Ajeel and Brandish retreated."
"That's fair, I suppose." Zeref said, "They made the right call, preventing any more Airships from being destroyed."
"But Your Majesty." Invel said, "The Dragon and Jason, they escaped Alakitashia."
"It matters not at the moment." Zeref said, "Jason shouldn't pose a problem. I was surprised Acnologia showed up, he might've been flying in the near vicinity when he sensed the Dragon. Fortunately, Irene sent him away."
"If Irene is still out of commission, I'm afraid things might be a bit tougher than we expected." Invel said, "And as for the Dragon. It's destructive power is clear, it was able to lay ruin to Irene's palace and most of her fleet."
"We can capture that one soon." Zeref said, "And Jason, we don't have any need for him. Kill him if he opposes us."
Invel nodded, "Of course." He said, "As you wish."
"This War, no matter how long it takes..." Zeref said as he stood up and walked towards the front of the ship, "I'll win it....even if Acnologia returns....I'll win it...."
He looked in front, his black eyes turning red.
"Fairy Heart..." Zeref said,
"I'll have it.."

[Magnolia, Fiore]
Inside the Fairy Tail Guild Hall, Jason sat in one of the tables as he held Erion, wrapped in blankets while he slept. All of the members were gathered around him, looking at him with a look of surprise.
He was still battered and bloodied, Wendy sat next to him as she used her healing magic on him.
Jason looked at her with a slight smile, "Thanks, little one." He said, "You really don't need to do that."
Wendy slightly blushed, "Uhm.." She said flustered, "I can't really sit here and watch you be wounded without doing anything."
"Hehe.." Jason chuckled,"Sorry for the trouble."
"I-It's fine..." Wendy said
Natsu walked up to him, "A little explanation would be nice, Jason." He said with a scowl, "How the hell is a dragon your son?!"
"That's not the issue at hand...." Jason said, "How the hell did a whole fleet get past my sensors....Felicity!"
Suddenly, a massive screen appeared from a device on the table, showing a map of Fiore with several lights shown on the borders.
"I apologize, sir.." Felicity said, "Somehow, some of them were disabled.....I am taking precautions now and recalibrating the rest. This won't happen again!"
"It better not." Jason said with a scowl, "And it must've been the work of August.....how the hell did he get here so fast.....Teleportation, probably..."
Makarov walked up, "What happened, Jason..Natsu is right, we need an explanation." He said, "Your wounds, how did you get them?"
Jason looked at him, "How do you think? I walked into hostile territory, had a little argument with this one's mother, and all of a sudden, motherfucking Acnologia shows up!" He said with an annoyed tone, "He starts fucking shit up and it got hectic from there..."
"A-Acnologia?!" Makarov exclaimed, "Are you kidding?!"
Jason shook his head, "No, I'm serious." He said, "Then, after he was sent away, hard to explain, I was blindsided by one of the Shields and Erion here, he flew away. I was about to be captured but thanks to one of my God Slayer magic, that didn't happen."
All of the members were standing in front of him, they were completely surprised at what they were hearing. It was hard to take in, but considering that there was an attack and he just repelled it, they ought to believe him.
"Erion?" Erza said, "Is that his name?"
Jason nodded, "Yea...." He said, "And obviously, I should explain why he's a dragon.....He's barely a day old...man...."
His face got a bit more serious.
Mavis walked up to him, "Hey.." She said softly, "It's okay....you can tell us the truth, we won't judge..."
Jason looked at her with a slight smile, "Yea...." He said, "I should tell you guys the whole truth....but it's a bombshell....so....I guess..."
"Firstly.." Gajeel spoke up, "Why the hell does he smell like Erza?"
Natsu nodded, "Yea, their scents are so familiar." He said with a scowl
Happy floated above Natsu, "He kinda looks like her too.." He said, "Red hair and everything."
Jason looked at Erza, who was giving him a neutral stare. He wasn't sure if wanted to tell them that part of the truth just yet.
"Hm..." He said, "Erion is Half-Dragon."
Mavis raised her eyebrows, "Eh?"
Jason nodded, "Dragons, as far as I know, can transform into Humans via transformation magic." He continued, "So that is why I was able to....you know...."
"Oh." Mavis said before blushing
"I never saw Igneel turn into a human..." Natsu said
"Grandine didn't turn into one either..." Wendy also spoke up
"Hm..." Gajeel said, "Metalicana might've mentioned something like that, I don't remember.."
"Well, he's got his Dragon nature from his mom." Jason said, "And his human one from me. The thing is, I don't know why, but he immediately matured into a full-grown dragon right after being born. It might be because he's a hybrid, but I suppose he has accelerated aging or something. And something tells me that while he's in Dragon form, he has some sort of advanced intelligence for a newborn."
All of the members were murmuring among themselves, discussing this.
Jason then stood up, his son in his arms.
"None of that matters at the moment." Jason said, "I have a lot of explaining to do, more than that. But later. I promise you all, I'll lay it clean. For now...Felicity, is it here?"
"Yes." Felicity said
As she said that, the ground began to shake slightly.
"What is this?" Makarov exclaimed, "A-Another attack?!"
"Nope." Jason said as he walked towards the doors, "Come and see."
As he walked outside, the others followed behind him.
They all stepped outside and noticed there was a massive dark shadow that was cast on the ground below them.
They all looked up and gasped in shock at what was above them.
"W-What is that?" Makarov said with awe
Gray whistled, "Damn!" He said, "That's one big ship!"
Above them, hovered a massive airship. It was so massive, as big as half the city, and had an odd shape. It looked like a modified version of a Naval Battleship from the real world, only that this one was much thicker and broader. It was also littered with massive artillery cannons and what was most threatening about it was the immense magic power it was releasing. It was so much that it actually shook the air around it.
Jason smirked, "There you are, you beauty." He said
Mavis looked at him, "Jason..." She said with a surprised look on her face, "Is that..."
"Behold..." Jason said,
"The Mobile War-Fortress: The Nemesis"
