Chapter 7 - Not again!!

(You're POV, 2 weeks before you're 16th birthday)

"(Y/N)!" Natsu shouted as he watched me disappear into a cloud of dust as it blew away from sight.

"Calm down, you obviously don't know her magic very well if you don't know she's controlling that thing. Stand back, she's got this." Gray encouraged. Natsu rolled his eyes and with that his flames disappeared from his hands.

After a moment the huge cloud of dust quickly came back into sight and engulfed the monster they were fighting. The dust continued to blow away as it revealed the spot the monster had just stood in, now gone. Natsu and Gray ran after the cloud of dust. A bit ahead of them, they watched it begin to die down.

Revealed in front of them was the monster laying across the ground and me standing in front of it.

"Earth make, tower!" A large rock tower appeared, hovering over the monster, seemingly about 20 feet tall and only a few feet above the ground. I raised the tower about 10 more feet into the air before quickly bringing it to the ground, crushing the monster completely.

"I guess that should do it." I stated, hands on my hips, proud of my win.

"That was so cool (Y/N)! Why don't ya use that on popsicle breath over here." Natsu joked as he motioned to Gray.

"He's right (Y/N) why haven't we crushed fire clown with that tower yet?" Gray chuckled.

"Yeah yeah, whatever." Natsu said as he rolled his eyes dramatically.

"How about 'thanks for stopping the monster (Y/N)! Great job!' No? Yeah okay." I said sarcastically.

"Let's get back to the guild quick, i'm STARVING." Natsu complained.

"Me too. But seriously (Y/N), thanks. You did great." Gray said with a slight smile.

"Well at least someoneeee noticed! Thank you, Gray, any day." I said with a laugh. We made our way back to the guild hall.

----

As we walked through the doors, we noticed lots of serious conversation going on between most of the adults in the guild.

"An ice pop as usual (Y/N)?" Gray asked, ignoring the odd seriousness inside of the hall. Gray and I always have an ice pop together once we get back from a job.

"Hmm, I'm good for now. Something's going on and I want to find out." I responded.

"I'll come too then. I've got nothing better to do anyways." He said as we began walking deeper into the hall, eavesdropping on their conversations.

"I haven't heard of any being around in years."

"I wonder what brought them around."

"Are they really that powerful?"

"That poor town... What could we do?"

"I can't believe they are back again."

Gray and I glanced at each other. Who are they talking about? I could tell Gray had the same question.

"Maybe Wakaba and Macao will tell us something." I suggested. Gray nodded and we walked over to the bar where the 2 of them were seated.

"What's everyone talking about?" Gray asked bluntly.

"Who hasn't been seen in a long time and is super powerful?" My curiosity can't wait long enough for them to get the words out.

Wakaba and Macao looked at each other, as if questioning something, and after a moment Macao nodded slightly.
