Early morning in the guild, Tye was sitting at the bar with Mairajane while Alice was being chased by Katie in the sense Alice wanting Flare, Then Flare came to sit next to Tye at the bar table. Flare asked, " How are you liking things here so far? ". Tye looked at Flare then answered, " Yeah, everything is great. No Problems here. ". Flare asked sarcastically, " Oh really? ". Then someone from upstairs screamed, " Will the wizards Tye RedFox, Flare Dragoneel, and Alice Green report into the guild masters quarters at once! ". Flare looked at Tye then smiled as he stood up from his chair and walked up to the stairs. Alice and Katie ran up to Tye, Katie asked, " What did you three do? ". Alice and Tye both looked at each other, then Katie exclaimed, " Don't tell me you three are in a lover's triangle! ". Alice's face turned red then screamed, " No we are not! Let go Tye. ". Alice grabbed Tye's hand then dragged him upstairs.
Tye and Alice walked up to the guild masters room, Alice asked, " Do you know what this is all about? ". Tye looked at her with a smile as he said, " I have...No clue on why she wants to see us. ". Alice had a nervous expression on her as they walked up to the door. Tye opened the door to see Erza and Flare standing around a table, Flare with a smile of his face as Tye and Alice walked in. Tye closed the door behind them and then Erza stated, " Don't worry you are not in trouble. ". A sigh of relief came over Alice, but Tye didn't faze at all. Flare said, " Come on man lighten up. ". Erza said, " Your father, Gajeel was a known first-generation dragon slayer, just like Flare's father Natsu Dragoneel. ". Tye looked at Flare then back at Erza as she continued, " Over the years of known dragon slayers we have come to know new generations or new types of dragon slayers and you may be one of them. ". A smile stretched across Alice's face, then she said, " Do you hear that Tye? You do have power. ". " Yeah man you may be a six-generation dragon slayer just like me," said Flare as he walked closer to Tye, whose expression hadn't changed since walking into the room. Alice asked, " What's wrong? ". Tye looked at Alice then Flare, then Erza, finally he said, " How do you know I have this power? This couldn't and shouldn't be possible. ". Alice stepped in front of Tye as his eyes didn't wander from Erza. Erza smiled then said, " I understand, you want to help but don't have magic. I was like you at once but everyone has magic. ". Flare explained, " A six-generation dragon slayer inherits the power from their parent that's what we come to believe. ". Tye finally smiled and asked, " How do we start? ".
Erza leads Tye, Flare, and Alice into a field somewhere near the guild. As they are walking out of the woods they then see a strange young man with white hair, a black tank top with a purple lightning bolt stretched across it, the strange man stared at them. Erza said, " Tye, that is a member of the Fairy Tail guild, his name is Max Mage and I want you to fight him. ". Alice asked, " What will this do? ". " If Tye has his father's dragon powers then we need them to awaken." Tye smiled, as he started to walk towards Max, Flare smiled then looked at Alice worried face, then Flare said, " Don't worry it's going to be ok. ".
Tye stopped about five feet away from Max, then he asked, " Should I get closer? ". Max then disappeared, then reappeared within three meters behind Tye. Tye turned around to look at him but then Max disappeared again. Max was disappearing and reappearing all around Tye like a lion circling its prey. Max was moving too fast for his eyes to see. Max finally hit Tye, knocking him to the ground, and continued to circle him. Tye got kicked and punched without even getting up from the ground. Watching this display of what seems to be shark playing with its food, Alice asked, " What's going on? I can't even see him. ". " Sorry to say. " Flare said, " but he is a slayer too. ". Alice looked up at Flare then asked, " Really? ". As Tye is getting beaten to a bloody pulp Flare said, " It's terrifying, he is a lightning dragon slayer. ".
Max stopped in front of Tye, as he laid down on the ground struggling to stand up. " You're no dragon. " Max said, " You're too weak. ". Max took a closer look at Tye's bloody grin then asked, " What are you so happy for? ". Tye finally stood up and said, " I think I still have enough energy to fight. ". Max smiled sinisterly as he said. " You gonna die if you continue to fight. ". Tye's grin turned into a full-on bloody smile. Then Max zapped around him again but this time hitting him from every angle, lifting him off the ground and in the air until finally, knocking him back down. As Tye hit the ground creating a crater in the earth, Alice ran out to help Tye. Flare said to Erza, " Max is taking this a little too far don't you think? ". Erza's worry less expression never looked away from the fight.
Alice ran to the crater that Tye laid in, Alice grabbed him and held him in her hands as she was screaming his name. Max walked up to Alice as he said, " Get up, I know you want to. ". Tye's lifeless body started to twitch, and move. Alice screamed, " No He had enough please. ". " Then he is weak… " Max said, " He is no one of interest and he no one in general. ". Tye struggled to stand up in front of Alice. Max then hit him back to the ground, as he said, " You're done. ". Max turned around then walked away, as Alice picked up Tye and continued to scream out his name. Tye blacked out.
Tye then woke up in a medical bed. " Tye! You're awake. " Alice said. Tye looked at her worried face as she was sitting in a chair, Tye asked, " What happened? ". Alice's smile disappeared as she explained, " You had a fight with Max and every time you got knocked down you continued to get up, and you were all bloody and passed out. ". Tye looked down at his hands as he thought to himself, " I couldn't beat him. ". " Don't worry. " Alice said as Tye looked at her smiling face " You did amazing you keep getting up your stronger than you thought. Your mom would be proud. ". Tye smiled, then the door to Kaite and Flare walking into the room. Katie said, " Oh my god Tye you're awake. How are you? ". Tye looked at them, then said, " I tried my best. ". Alice jumped to her feet than with rage as she screamed, " You didn't help him! Why!? ". Katie and Tye looked at Flare, as he looked down to his feet with a depressed look. " WHY!? ". Tye said, " Alice. It's ok. It's nothing serious. ". Flare looked at Tye who was smiling at him,
