(Makarov's POV)
Makarov is seen staring at an envelope in his office deep in thought

Makarov: 'A mission sent directly from the magic council can't mean anything good, I only wish that it's nothing to serious, that it would put any of my children in danger' Makarov thinks with great concern
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Flashback)
Makarov is seen drinking alcohol at the bar whilst watching his guild members fighting like every other day in the Fairy Tail guild when the doors of the guild are suddenly opened by a subordinate of the magic council

Makarov: 'WILL YOU FOOLS STOP FIGHTING ALREADY'

Everyone in the guild freezes instantly after hearing the bellowing voice of their guild master

Makarov: 'What is a member of the magic council doing here? Usually you don't hand deliver any complaints about the guild causing destruction somewhere' he says whilst standing up from the bar and sobering up instantly

Magic council member (MCM): 'I have been sent to deliver a job request to the guild master, the magic council expects the person who will be taking the mission to arrive at Era tomorrow at midday' he says whilst making his way towards Makarov and handing him an envelope with the request inside

Makarov: 'They only need one person?' he says with an eyebrow rising in curiosity

MCM: 'Only one from this guild, other guilds have also been contacted and are sending one member from their guilds to take on the mission as well. With that said I will be taking my leave' he says as he turns around and walks out of the guild hall

Makarov: 'A mission from the magic council, it must be serious to send someone to hand deliver the quest to the guilds chosen to partake'
(Flashback over)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Makarov starts to open the envelope that the council member deliver and read the mission inside it

Makarov: '"Dear Master Makarov of Fairy Tail, we are contacting you in regard to a mission that is of the utmost importance. We request that you send a member of your guild to join those picked by the other guilds to complete this quest, the member chosen must arrive at Era tomorrow midday and not a second late.

The mission that the wizard you have chosen will be to slay the black dragon of the apocalypse Acnologia, this is a result of resent sightings of the aforementioned dragon.

Sincerely regards,
Magic Council Chairman Crawford Seam"

This is far worse than I imagined, I refuse to send one of my children to unavoidable death'

A look of terror on the old man's face suddenly morphs into sadness

Makarov: 'It appears that this will be my final services to the guild, I refuse to send any of my children. So the only option is to go myself, now the only question is who will replace me as guild master and become the 4th master of Fairy Tail?' A puzzled look over coming the man's face 'Gildarts would of been possibly the best choice out of everyone in the guild, he is strong, caring and is capable of keeping the others in check, however he isn't one to remain in one place for any extended period of time. Then there's Laxus, in resent years he has become difficult to work with, furthermore he isn't very connected to the majority of the guild being a main cause of conflict between members. There is also Mystogan but he is far to disconnect to the other members to be able to lead them. Erza would be a good choice, she keeps many of the members in check and is strong just like the others, however she can be very hard headed at times which will cause lots of problems when a complaint comes in from the council about some destruction regarding a village'
