A/N: This fanfic is going to be my biggest work since I have been trying not to leave anything aside and I have also thought of taking Axel and the girls to One Piece world. Some people asked me to take them to Bleach but Yamamoto would kill Axel before letting him learn Shinigami Arts so I will avoid that. And no matter how strong Axel is, he doesn't hold a candle to Yamamoto. So One Piece world it is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Irene: Ouch...!!!
Cana: Sit still and let me heal you. You were first beaten to the ground by Axel and then Erza broke your two ribs.
Irene: Fine.
Currently, all of the group have returned to back to the resort. The manager was overly nice to them because this time Axel was also with them. Cana has been trying to heal Irene but she was trying to run away from Cana. So Cana held down Irene and started to heal Irene and finally, she relented.
Erza: Axel... what are we going to do with my old friends??
Axel: Don't know don't care... if you want to let them go then do that. After all they are your friends.
Erza didn't reply to him and just kissed him. Axel and the girls have taken up a small villa on rent for as long as they stay here. Natsu and the rest have left for their own room. Juliet and Heine were given their own room in the resort. Erza let Juvia join Natsu's group which annoyed Gray but Juvia latched on to him. Ur and Ultear laughed out loud when they saw Gray's condition being handled by Juvia.
Erza now walked up to Cana and started checking her jacket for the cards which have her old friends trapped. Mira was quite shocked to hear what has happened. Mira was slightly jealous of Erza but Cana, Ur, and Ultear saw that and consoled her, after that she didn't mind it. Erza found the cards and released them. They were now very scared of Erza and the other girls. Axel was sitting at the side so they didn't notice him.
The first thing Erza did was bowed her head down in front of them.
Erza: I am going to be honest with you... I honestly thought that you guys have died that is the reason I have never returned to check. Whenever I thought of that place I always remembered the pain so I tried to ignore it. If you think I have betrayed you I am not going to force you to change but know this I didn't do it knowingly.
Sho, Wally, Simon, and Millianna were all shocked to hear that. When they broke out of their stupor Millianna jumped and hugged Erza in a tight hug and started to cry. After that, all of them understood that Erza never betrayed them and they also asked her to forgive them. All of them became friends again. After that, she took them with her and arranged rooms for all of them.
After sometime Erza returned alone and Irene was also healed by now. The girls decided to go to hot springs. All of them asked Axel to come with them except Mira and Irene.
Mira: I am sorry... but I not ready for that kind of closeness, please don't mind Axel and Erza your mother will be also there.
Irene: I don't mind him.
All the girls were shocked to hear that including Erza, Erza honestly forgot about her mother when she invited Axel to come with them. A mischievous smile appeared on Cana's face and then she looked over to Erza.
Cana: Oh my Erza... your mother works really fast. We get another mother-daughter duo here.
Ezra: Shut up Cana...!! There is nothing like that.
Both Irene and Ezra became flustered when they heard what Cana had said but Irene didn't deny that which was also noticed by Cana.
Cana: Don't be like that Erza... don't you want your mother to be happy?? See your mother didn't deny my claim.
Erza looked over to Irene who was looking away with a red face that gave the answer to everyone.
Cana: She is in love too... Erza don't be so heartless to deny her love~...!!
Cana said that in a sing-song voice but that did its job in Erza's mind because she started to think that seriously and came to a decision.
Erza: Its ok mother if you have feelings for him I won't stop you.
This also shocked everyone including Cana. She was just joking with Erza and never thought that Ezra would think this thoroughly and let her mother have a relation with Axel. Though having Ur and Ultear having in front of her helped to take her direction in that way. Irene was very happy but decided to control herself. She might have come to like Axel but she isn't going to jump on him the first chance she gets.
She still remembers how her previous relation ended up and she definitely doesn't want a repeat of that. She decided to go on a few dates with Axel before getting together with him and seeing all these girls who are happy with Axel made a positive impression of Axel in her mind. Though she only agreed on Axel to join them in the bath so that she could see Axel's true personality.
After that, the girls decided to go without Axel and he also didn't mind it because it was clear that Mira was not ready.
~TIMESKIP 1 WEEK~
Another week seemed to pass in a blink of an eye. Within this week Axel went to a few dates along with Mira and Irene. Other girls didn't mind them because they were a lot ahead than Mira and Irene didn't even have a relationship with Axel. Erza also became very close to her mother and old friends in this week. Juliet and Heine have also become friends with the girls and Natsu's group.
(A/N: If anyone of you are thinking about the age of Juliet and Heine then they are currently at the same age of Wendy)
Currently, all of them were standing by the beach and they came here to give farewell to Erza's old friends. Erza has asked them if they wanted to join Fairy Tail but they have answered that they wanted to find their own home and path.
Erza: If they want to go and find your own place I won't stop you but let us give you guys a farewell.
Erza transformed into her Fairy Tail Farewell armor and gave them a bow while the sky was filled with fireworks of different colors. Erza's friends were really happy and they left with a happy smile on their faces.
The next day the whole group returned to the guild and found that it has been completely renovated. The guild has become much larger now, Axel remembered the design from the anime and it was exactly the same. Irene and her two lackeys also came with her. Irene told Axel that Zeref has been missing for a decade so that it was easy to say that no one will know for now that she has left their country and have defected. Axel knew where Zeref was but stayed quiet.
Natsu kicked the guild's door and shouted on top of his lungs like he always did.
Natsu: Guys we are back....!!!
