Author's Note: You can say this is the first fan fiction that I've written. I pretty much got the idea to make this after reading some other Negima?! and Fairy Tail Cross overs. As you will find out later, the beginning will follow heavily on the story line of both manga. I plan to make it much more, i guess you can say original, although just in story line itself, several training methods later on may remind some of you of a certain Blondie.

In any case, I am writing this because I'm bored and too lazy to do other, more important, stuff.

Prologue

The Fight to Save the World

"UGH!" cried a red-haired boy about the age of 10 as he was choked by a figure wearing a pure black robe with parts that seemingly floated around him like wings.

"NEGI!" An orange haired girl with two long ponytails and a black Goth Dress yelled as she dropped from the sky and sliced the arm holding Negi with her weapon: a giant, two meter long, obsidian colored sword. Immediately after, she dropped her weapon and caught the falling Negi.

"Asuna-san!"

"Negi!" Asuna said as she hugged Negi while her eyes grew soft and teary.

"Geez, you're making me worry again! What is all this?! Why did you get all beat up-?!"

"What are you saying? It's the other way around this time-!"

"Huh?"

"Everyone else was really worried too!" Negi countered.

"What? What are you talking about?! They were worried about you!" Asuna shot back immediately.

"What are you talking about?! They were worried about you!"

"Well I couldn't help it! But you did something reckless all by yourself again!"

"No that's-!" Negi tried to argue back.

"Besides, if I hadn't helped you out back then, either you or Fate would've been blown apart! 'You want to be friends with him'? IDIOT!" Asuna paused her relentless assault and noticed a large hole on Negi's shirt. "Oh! Your stomach! Are you alright? Let me take a look. WHA- HUH? Y-you're fine?! But how? You were shot through the stomach and bleeding a minute ago!"

"Its alright to flirt, Kagurazaka Asuna, but there's something terrible behind you." A ten-year old looking girl with blonde hair that reached to her ankles pointed out. She seemed somewhat satisfied with the blush the two received, despite the fact that they are in a life threatening situation.

Asuna quickly turned around to see what the girl was pointed out, and immediately let out a "Wha? Crap-"

The cloaked figure began to raise his detached arm, the same one that Asuna cut off a moment ago, it floated up into a raised position, and a split second later, a gigantic ultra complex magical seal spanning 100 meters in radius appeared behind the cloaked figure. A second later, a smaller seal appeared in front of the mage and a large beam of pure darkness accompanied by hundreds of smaller ones shot at Asuna and Negi. Even a single one of the smaller beams could instantly blow up a mountain and kill the strongest creature on this world, Mundus Magicus.

But, all of the beams simply hit Asuna's sword and dispersed around the group causing the ground several tens of kilometers below them to blow up, causing an enormous shockwave that spread across the world.

"Ohoho… She actually managed to stop that beam. Very Impressive." said a giant, 2.4 meter tall, dark skinned man with blonde hair.

"Hmph, but of course, she's Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia, one of the two heirs to the magical world, after all. And with that ridiculous Magic Cancel too." replied the blonde haired girl.

"Negi-! Lets end this!" shouted Asuna.

"Right!" was all Negi said before grabbing Asuna's sword. The instant Negi's hand touched the sword handle, the sword glowed bright white at the point where Negi touched it. The glow started to quickly spread throughout the blade and turned Asuna's dress pure white, and then a Magia Erebea wing of light grew out from the back of the blade.

"AAAHHH!" They both yelled in unison as they jumped 20 meters in the air, with their sword held up high.

Light and Darkness struck, BOOM, both sides releasing massive amounts of energy as they battled.

But darkness failed and light prevailed, the Mage of the Beginning was sliced in half with a horizontal slash.

As the Mage of the Beginning began to disappear, something happened that caught everybody's attention. The scene caused even Evangeline and Rakan to stare in shock.

"Fa…"

Instead of the face of the blonde haired man underneath the hood of the cloak, a red haired man that looked like an adult version of Negi appeared.

"…ther."

This face belonged to Nagi Springfield, the Thousand Master, the father of Negi Springfield.

"…gi …Negi. Come and kill me." Nagi winked at Negi.

"!?"

"This will put an end to everything." Nagi smiled with a bright face, "I'll be waiting." Then he faded away

"FATH-!" Negi tried to call out, but it was useless, the man that caused Negi to work harder than anyone else for 8 years in order to meet, just appeared in front of him and disappeared.

"More importantly, Asuna-san, we need to take care of a few things right away!" Negi said after slapping his own face.

"It's alright, the dismembering of Mundus Magicus has already stopped, all that's left is to return the world back to the way it was before." Asuna did some mental calculations, and then she said, "First we have to recover all the people that were erased and sent over to the Eternal Garden. Although I can't bring back the land and buildings that were destroyed… I can't help with that."

"Asuna-san, do you have this whole thing figured out?"

"Yea, well… how should I put it, I am after all, a genuine legendary princess from a country of magic!" Asuna replied with the combination of a smile, a wink, and a thumb up. "Thank you everyone," Asuna looked to her friends of Class 3-A, "Your voices, they reached me… You can leave this to me!"

A Giant Key with a globe on the end appeared in front of Asuna, her sword followed suit. With both artifacts in front of her, she closed her eyes and chanted.

"Code of the life maker, 'Great Grand Master Key'! I command you in the name of Asuna Vesperina Theotanasia Entheofushia, imperial princess of the twilight and descendant of the founder, Amaterasu, the daughter of the creator. Return the world to the way it was!"

Chapter 1

Friends in High Places

5 years later…

"Is it really around here?" Bisca Connell thinks out loud as she surveys the surrounding water.

"There's nothing to see…" replied her husband, Alzack Connell, "Wait…" he squinted his eyes. "What is that over there?"

The whole crew turned to where he was pointing, over yonder was a girl standing on water.

"No… Way… Is she standing on water?" Somebody asks.

"But, how? Who is it?"

At this moment, the girl looks at the crew and then proceeds to raise both of her hands. A large BOOM could be heard underneath the ocean surface. Moments later, a giant barrier with the mark of Fairy Tail on it eurupts out of the ocean.

"TENROU ISLAND! ITS TENROU ISLAND!" cried a guild member.

The girl then ran across the ocean surface and onto the island, glancing back to Fairy Tail, she motioned for the members of Fairy Tail to follow.

"H-Hold on! Wait up!"

"What's with this woman? Just how did she know the location of Tenrou Island when it disappeared off the maps 7 years ago, after Acnologia blew it up?" Bisca questioned to no one in particular as she ran to catch up with the girl.

"!"

Bisca stopped in her tracks and took a step back, on the ground she saw a boy with spiky pink hair, laying face down on the dirt.

Fairy Tail Guild Building

"There sure are a lot fewer people here today" a disgusting looking man with a fairly large mace on his back thought out loud as he kicked open the front doors of the building. He walked in with four other, equally disgusting, people.

"Hey, hold it; the payment isn't due until next month!" Macao Conbolt, the fourth master of Fairy Tail, shouts.

"Well, our master said that it simply won't do, he knows that a worthless, run-down guild like Fairy Tail will never be able to pay us back."

Romeo Conbolt, a boy with blue hair and a vest with shorts yelled, "We don't have any money to pay you, so leave!" Romeo stood up and attempted to create a fireball with his right hand in order to attack the intruders with. However, that fireball was easily snuffed out by the intruder. Then, as the intruder lifted his mace to attack Romeo, a swift kick to the back of his head sent the intruder flying, face first into a nearby wall. At that moment, the rest of the intruders were also beat down mercilessly onto the floor.

"Yo!"

Romeo moves his head and looks up to see who it was, and what he saw left him and the rest of the guild speechless.

In front of him stood Natsu and the main force of Fairy Tail that was supposedly annihilated by Acnologia back on Tenrou Island.

"We're back!" Shouted Natsu

Tears could be seen rolling down Romeo's cheeks.

Flash back: Tenrou Island

"Natsu! Get a hold of yourself! Natsu! Natsu!"

"GAH! WHA-?!" Natsu shot straight up from the ground in a frenzy, only to be tackled down by fellow guild members.

"Natsu! You're back! You're really back!" Jet said with a tear forming on his eye

"Eh?" Natsu said, clearly confused, "What's going on? I could have sworn we just got hit by Acnologia's breath just now! Hmmm… Hey, when did you guys get so much older? And who's that girl over there?" Natsu points out.

Where Natsu pointed stood a petite girl with: deep green eyes, long wavy blonde hair that extended to her ankles; a frilly, pink dress with a ribbon tied in a bow that looked like it belonged to fairies, and a pair of wing-shaped ornaments on her head.

"I am Mavis Vermilion, Fairy Tail's first master." She said in a cool, smoothing voice while smiling at her "children".

"!"

Mavis turned around and said, "Follow me if you wish to see your friends."

The rest of Fairy Tail trailed her without delay; they could feel excitement welling inside them. "Hey, we saw one miracle today, seeing another wouldn't be too far off, right?" is what most of them were thinking as they followed Mavis. After a minute or so of walking, Mavis stopped at a small ledge and turned around to wait for everyone to catch up. When they did, she merely jumped down with an expression that told them to follow.

Mavis started to explain as she watched Fairy Tail's emotional reunion, "Back then, seven years ago, I took the strength of everyone's bonds and faith and converted that into pure magical power. All of your thoughts allowed me to activate one of the three great fairy magic, Fairy Sphere. It is an absolute defense spell that will protect the guild from any evil. However, the downside is that everyone was frozen in time, and now seven years have passed since the spell was first activated."

"What now… so the First came back and protected us in the end, huh…" Makarov asked while shaking from joy as he processed what he heard from Mavis.

"No, I'm just an ethereal body, the only reason I could came back was because of the strong, unbreakable bonds that you all have. Your bonds are strong enough to break even the chains of fate and bring forth a miracle." Mavis smiled, "It's become a wonderful guild… Third."

End Flashback

"You're all grown up, Romeo." Natsu grinned.

"Welcome back, Natsu-nii! Everyone!" Romeo started to cry tears of joy. The rest of the guild that just heard what happen followed suit.

"Hey, what's with the gloom in here!" Makarov roared in an attempt to diffuse the mood, "Let's celebrate our return! Bring out the booze!"

"YEAH!" Everyone cheered

"Hey Romeo, you use fire magic too!" Natsu asked while stuffing his face with food.

"Not just hot flames, I can make cold flames as well!" Romeo replied, and created an icy flame with his right hand. "I can also make purple flames like my dad. There's also this funny smelling yellow flame."

"Hmm, this magic seems familiar for some reason."

"Yeah, I learned it from Totomaru-sensei's classes. Remember him? He used to be in Phantom."

"Ah! That guy, I still haven't tried all his flames yet. Maybe I should go visit him later."

"Um, Natsu-nii, you're a forbidden subject since Totomaru-sensei still has as grudge on you."

"…" Makarov stared with his mouth hanging, "…What are you doing here, First?"

"Having fun! What else?" Mavis, who was now sitting on the bar table swinging her feet playfully, "But don't worry, only those with Fairy Tail's crest can see me."

"… I see, so what do you plan to do now?" Makarov asks as he sipped his drink, he was taking in the rowdy atmosphere of the guild.

Mavis looked down at her feet and smiled, "I guess, I'll watch over the guild now that I am free from Tenrou Island. Ever since that faithful day 7 years ago, I have been able to stay in my ethereal form at will, it seems that as long as the guild has a strong bond with one another, I will be able to stay in the form and watch over them."

"Hey, First," Makarov asked grimly, "Back then, back when Acnologia attacked us on Tenrou Island, I had a feeling, it was a dark feeling, as if something really evil just woke up." He paused, and drank the last of his beverage, "Zeref… He's back isn't he?"

Mavis' smile faded as she simply nodded.

"EHHHH?" Lucy yelled out in despair as she read her rental bills that accumulated for the past seven years. The number 5,880,000 Jewels seemed to echo in her mind endlessly as she slinked to her knees in frustration.

"5,880,000 Jewels, there's no way I will ever be able to pay that off. Especially not after coming back after seven years without a dime in my purse. Not only is the guild in shambles, Romeo-kun got bigger, Jet and Droy changed, Alzack and Bisca had a kid." Lucy sighed, "Oh, that's right, everybody was really shocked when they found out that Gildarts was Cana's father. Her father… I haven't been in touch with my own father in seven years. I wonder how he is doing… He must be worried sick. Maybe I should visit my dad."

"Geez, Natsu, why are you even here if you hate transportation." Lucy mumbled to Natsu and happy

"We don't have any money! My savings were gone when Happy and I looked for it yesterday."

"Why do you even need the money for? It's not like you have to pay rent, or have something important to buy."

"Food!" cried Happy, "all our food money is gone!"

"And who knows, one thing might lead to another and we may become rich." Natsu said unreasonably

"Oh, we're here." Lucy said as the crew stood in front of the market guild, Love & Lucky, "Let's go check on my father."

The interior of the guild looked like a cross between a restaurant and a bank. The left side of the room had tables scattered around, while the right side had a bank and a register.

Lucy walks over to the register and asks, "Excuse me; I'm looking for someone that goes by the name of Judo Heartphilia. He is a guild member here, right?"

The person behind the register suddenly started to tremble as she listened to Lucy, "A-Are you Judo-san's daughter?"

"Yes! Do you know where he is?"

"…"

"What's wrong?" Natsu and Happy asked simultaneously

"Umm… how do I say this. I'm sorry, but two weeks ago, Judo-san passed away. I'm sure that he would be happy that his daughter returned to the world after what happened seven years ago. When he heard of your disappearance, he had a heart attack and he was never the same after."

"Lucy…" Natsu said as he hugged a trembling Lucy, "Its ok, you still have us with you, we will be with you forever, and nothing can ever separate us."

"Y-yeah, Natsu…" Lucy muttered in-between sobs.

"Ah yes, I forgot" Natsu and Lucy turned to the register, "Judo-san left us with a will, he told us to give it to you if we ever saw you." She handed Lucy a thick envelope.

Magnolia Twilight Ogre Base

"There's nothing for us to discuss here." Banaboster, Twilight Ogre's guild master, simply stated to Makarov, "Just pay us the money we lent you, and everything will be fine."

Makarov, who had Erza and Mirajane standing behind him, replied, "Will, even if you say that, we simply have no money right now. Now, we do intend to pay you back, eventually, and with proper interest too."

"AHHH?! You trying to pick a fight with me or something? I clearly said pay me back right now, you geezer. In case you didn't notice it before, but we have 30 healthy young men in here aching to cause some serious pain."

"Ah, you know, beating up your debtors won't make your money come back any faster."

"This is a matter of guild reputation, damnit."

"Oh?" A grin slowly creped onto Makarov's face, "Guild reputation you say?

"Huh?" Banaboster took a step back in surprise.

"Seven years worth of damage to our guild furniture by your rampaging guild members…" Erza said with a grin on her face.

"We need to pay all that back to you, you know." Finished Mirajane.

"Seven years… seven years of pain you caused to my children," Makarov started to grow in size until he became taller that the already huge Banaboster, "Hey brat, here's what we owe to war." Behind him Erza re-equipped purgatory armor and Mirajane used her Satan take-over.

BOOM

"Hey, you know, I thought they were going to settle this peacefully, with words, not violence."Wakaba asked Macao with a large sweat drop on his head.

"Sigh, as we thought, that was impossible, but you know. Seeing this really makes it seem like its seven years ago."

"Its getting all nostalgic now."

Break: Lucy's apartment

"You know, Natsu, I can't believe it." Lucy said as she stood in front of the door to her apartment. "I guess even in his death, father still watches over me."

"Yeah, who would have thought, that all of you father's hard work was to simply make enough money so you would be able to live a happy life when he passed away." Natsu mused while looking at Judo's will.

The door to Lucy's apartment slammed open, "Eh?" both Lucy and Natsu let out.

Out came the land lady, wearing a jacket that was clearly ten sizes too small for her. She walked out, grabbed Lucy by the collar, and dragged her inside, promptly shutting the door behind her. Once inside, she threw Lucy back into her room and said through the door. "Lucy, each year, your father sent you a gift on the same day. Each year he hopped that you would be back, so you could open your presents and celebrate your birthday. He wanted to spend just one last moment with you before he passed away. Do you understand? Don't ever disappear again, or he will roll in his grave."

"You know, Happy. Now we're the only ones without any food money."

"Aye!"

Break: Magic Council

"Sage Org, thank you for your hard work at the council today." Lahar said with a bow.

"Have you decided on his proposal yet?" Doranbolt asked Org quietly.

"…" The sage turned to the courtyard. "If what we heard about Fairy Tail is true, then accepting his proposal would definitely take a load off our back… Sigh."

"Sage Org! You have to think about this, if we let Fairy Tail fall in to his hands, there might be even more unwanted trouble." Lahar quickly spewed out, "The only reason why Fairy Tail didn't destroy every city they were in, was because the Magic Council was on their backs 24/7."

"Yes, that's true, but this is him we are talking about here." Org paused, "He saved this world from the a greater danger than Zeref and Acnologia together… If he can't keep Fairy Tail in check, then nobody can."

"!" Lahar took a step back, and then looked down "…"

"And it's not like we can keep him off Fairy Tail's back anyways. If we refuse his offer, then that man will no doubt use his authority, and force his way through. That's just how fearsome that man can be." Org gazed into the sunset, "Hmph, the magic world will probably get stirred up again. Seven years ago, when Acnologia and Zeref were sighted, the magic world went into a new era. And when that origination reappeared five years ago, when we were least expecting it. It threw the world into complete chaos, had it not been for his, this world would no longer exist…"

Sage Org turned around and walked down the hall, "Sigh, these five years have been too quiet, especially since that man went into hiding and Fairy Tail being nearly annihilated. Then there's that Sabertooth, even if they have not shown any suspicious activity yet, we can't let our guard down around them." Sage Org paused, "Under these circumstances, this strange silence, almost as if it's an everlasting night. Perhaps this uneasy feeling I have is telling me that day is about to break through the night? Will it be the great sunrise of Mundus Magicus?"

"Are you saying the cause of this is because of the reappearance of that man and what they want with Fairy Tail?" Doranbolt asked.

"Fuhahaha!" Sage Org broke out into a laugh. "I don't know about him, but expecting that much from Fairy Tail in spite of how much I dislike them… I sure have gotten older too, haven't I?"

Two weeks have passed

Throughout the county, rumors of our return have spread like wildfire. As expected, people from Sorcerer Weekly rushed in to get the top scoops. And as if we were making up for the seven years of lost time, everybody had been partying their hearts each and every single day. Everyone is here, right now, I can think of no greater happiness. Lucy thought to herself as she tried on the latest fashion.

"Sabertooth?" Natsu turns to Romeo.

"Yeah, right now, they are considered the strongest guild in Fiore." Romeo replied

"I don't think I've ever heard of them before, did they appear during our seven blank years?" Gray asked ambiguously after thinking for a few seconds.

"Well, for one, they weren't anything special seven years ago." Everyone turned to Alzack.

"So you're saying that they grew suddenly over these past seven years?"

"Yeah, It all started when their guild master recruited five, very unique and capable members."

"Just five people made that much of a difference?" Lucy mumbled to herself.

"Oh? I like his style. Now I definitely want to fight this, Sabertooth." Natsu smiled.

Wendy turned to Romeo, "So, what rank does that leave our guild in now?"

"You really wanna know?" Happy asks.

"You really haven't heard?" Carla backed away in disbelieve.

Wendy tilted her head, "Eh?"

"Absolute last place," "A super tiny weak little guild," "The weakest in Fiore," Romeo, Alzack, and Bisca all said in a manner that was similar to a piano decreasing in tone.

Wendy placed her hands on her head, "Waaa, I'm sorry I asked!"

"AHAHAHA, this is perfect, just absolutely perfect!" All eyes turned to Natsu, "This kind of setting is almost too good to be true."

"What do you mean?" asked Lucy and a few others in unison.

"Don't you guys get it? Right now, Fairy Tail is the lowest of the low, how do you think people will react when they see us shoot to the top? Just how many opportunities like this will you get in a lifetime? Now I'm getting all fired up!"

Gray face palmed and groaned, "Ugh, this block head. But I have to agree with you on this one. This will be the best chance to change everyone's opinions."

Break: Ruins on a plain

"Man, talk about nostalgic, I was so small just seven years ago." Sting placed his hand in the air, measuring his height when he was a boy, "Ah! You were Gajeel's apprentice back then, right?"

"Don't cling on the past, Sting." replied Rogue.

"I found you!" A bowman ran up to Rogue and shot an arrow, "DIE!"

Fear started to creep up on to the bowman's face as he watched Sting catch the arrow mid-flight. However, when he saw Sting bite into the reflective edge of the arrow head, the bowman started trembling, "No way! No… It can't be… he can't be…"

Chomp, chomp

Sting threw away the arrow shaft and smiled, and then he shot the arrow tip out of his mouth, following it was a beam of light that vaporized everything it touched, from the walls to the ground. Sting took extra caution to aim the beam so that it would miss the bowman's head by a millimeter. Satisfied by the reaction the bowman gave, Sting stood up and walked away with Rogue.

"S-so it was them… the twin dragons of Sabertooth…. The white dragon, sting, and his partner, the shadow dragon, Rogue…." was all that the bowman managed to say before he fainted with white bubbles coming out of his mouth.

"Hey Rogue, I heard about a good restaurant back in town, wanna go?"

"…Up to you."

"Ahahaha, don't be such a kill joy. Oh look, its Lector and Frosh." Sting pointed to the red Exceed, Lector, and then to the green Exceed that is wearing a pink frog costume, Frosh.

"You know what, Rogue? I think right now, I would defiantly be able to beat Natsu-san. Wanna go have a duel with him after we eat?" Sting asked Rogue hopefully.

"Not interested." replied Rogue, followed by a "Fro too." From Frosh

Break: Fairy Tail the next day

"So, I have decided, we will participate in the Grand Magic Games." Makarov, who was sitting next to a hungry Mavis, announced after he reread a letter he received five minutes ago.

"!"

"But Master, there's no way we can win the Grand Magic Games." Macao, in half shock, complained to Makarov.

"Y-yeah, all the previous years, Fairy Tail came out dead last!" Droy backed Macao up in an attempt to dissuade his guild master.

"With a significant margin too!" Alzack added.

Then Jet stepped next to Droy, "With Sabertooth, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale out there, our chances to win are as good as Natsu winning a fist fight with Gildarts. It's suicide."

"HEY!" Natsu yelled across the room.

Completely ignoring Natsu, Makarov replied, "You guys may be right,"

"See, master, I knew you would understand!" Macao stated happily.

Makarov then paused to wait for the guild to quiet down, "For now, anyways. For I have requested aid from one of my old drinking buddies. He quiet happily agreed to ask his son to come up with something to help us. And besides, winning the games is the fastest way for us to become the No.1 guild in Fiore again." Makarov finished with a grin, obviously waiting for people to ask him who this person was.

Macao stepped in front of Makarov and said, "Master! No matter who they are, there's no way they can help us defeat Sabertooth, I mean, it IS Sabertooth we are talking about here, they won the Grand Magic Battle seven years straight!"

Makarov's grin widened even more now, he was starting to have trouble refraining himself from breaking out into a full out laughing fit.

"If Master places high hope in this "son" then he must be a man among men!" Elfman cheered.

"You are one hundred percent right, Elfman." Makarov paused for a moment before saying, "Especially if you see the things he deals with on a daily basis." Makarov now broke out into a full smile as he jumped off the table he was sitting one and loudly announced, "The man that we are getting help from is the none other than Guild Master of Ala Alba, Negi Springfield!"

Omake

Then Jet stepped next to Droy, "With Sabertooth, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale out there, our chances to win are as good as Natsu winning a fist fight with Gildarts. It's suicide."

"HEY!" Natsu yelled across the room.

Completely ignoring Natsu, Makarov replied, "You guys may be right, if Gildarts was blindfolded"

"Oh come on!" Natsu yelled again.

"With one hand tied behind his back," added Droy.

"Now you're just getting ridiculous."

"while half asleep," Alzack joined in cheerfully.

"GAH"

"all while being distracted by Cana." finished Gray with a smirk.

"Oh you're on, Pervert snowman!" Natsu yelled as he flung himself towards Gray.

Meanwhile in a room located in some random ally.

"Achoo!" sneezed Gildarts, "I'm getting a cold now? Man, I must really be getting old. I guess I can't blame Cana for calling me an Old Man anymore, huh?"
