After Cana defeated Laxus all of them returned to the guild and saw many of their guildmates with slightly worried expression standing out of the infirmary. Cana and Erza walked up to them while Axel leaned on the railing.
Cana: What's happening here??
Macao: Porlyusica came by, and she is currently healing Freed and Bickslow. Evergreen only had a broken nose so she was treated rather quickly.
Alzack: I think we have more important things to take care of now beside them. So did any of you guys were able to find Laxus??
Erza: Cana found him and defeated him.
Everyone was completely shocked but they were in complete disbelief. How come someone like could have defeated one of their power-houses Laxus. Somehow Bisca gathered some courage and decided to ask Erza.
Bisca: You aren't joking right??
Erza: Why would I joke??
Cana pulled out her card and showed a heavily beaten up Laxus stored inside it. Everyone gulped when they saw that, everyone could feel the magic coming off from that card so it was clear that it was not a face rather the real deal. Cana then directly walked brushing them aside and knocked on the infirmary door. A snarly voice answered her from inside asking 'what they wanted now?'
Cana: I have brought you another patient.
Soon the door opened and Porlyusica came out and Cana showed her the Laxus card she held. Porlyusica gestured her to enter the infirmary which Cana did and then Porlyusica pointed her towards an open bed and Cana placed her card on the bed and pulled out Laxus from it. Now Porlyusica was able to clearly see how badly Laxus was beaten.
Porlyusica: What did you guys even do to him?
Cana: He needed the beating.
Porlyusica: That I agree with. Did Axel do this too??
Cana: No... it was all me.
Porlyusica was shocked but she soon calmed down. She then walked over to Freed who was lying on a bed with all his limbs covered in bandages.
Cana: Will he be able to be a mage again??
Porlyusica: Yes, I did what I could have possibly done but still his legs would take at least 3 months to heal completely. He will be as new again after 4-5 months.
Cana: Glad to know that... Though what he did to Mira was unforgivable.
Porlyusica: Yeah... I heard that. But that mother and daughter brought her out of that self-loathing and self-pity.
Cana was seriously happy to hear that. She also knew that though Mira loved Axel and he also loved her back but she was just going to be a burden in the long run. It's not that any of them hated Mira or anything, it was rather opposite but they could clearly see that she has been loathing herself and stopping herself to find happiness. Mira was becoming the only weak link against Axel. Other girls of Axel could have protected themselves except Mira so all of them really wanted that Mira would use her powers again.
Cana: Good... I have to greet Mira now.
After that Cana walked out of the room to find Mira. When she exited the room she told everyone what Porlyusica have told her about the healing of Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe. Cana then found Erza who was standing in the back talking with Axel. She walked up to them and told them what happened with Mira. Axel immediately asked Vega to point where Mira was.
Axel found that they were in the basement resting. Irene was also there. He knocked on the door which was opened by Ur. Ur immediately jumped on Axel and kissed him passionately. Soon the action was repeated by Ultear and Mira. Axel walked inside and sat beside them. Behind him, Erza and Cana also walked in. After that everyone shared their stories of what happened. Axel and the girls kept making small conversations of this kind while a few hours passed.
A few hours flew by in an instant when suddenly Vega notified Axel that Makarov has woken up. Axel told the girls that Master have awoken so all of them left the room and saw Makarov sitting on a chair with both of his hands clasped together. Makarov had already heard the fate of this grandson and the Thunder God Tribe.
Makarov noticed Axel and the girls coming towards him so he just gestured them to sit. After that, the girls had told him how everything played out. Makarov was sad was an understatement. He didn't know what to do anymore but it seems that he had come to a decision. Makarov then announced that Fairy Fantasia will happen because it showed that Fairy Tail was still strong and they didn't lose hope.
Everyone cheered and started to make preparations for that when Porlyusica came to Makarov and too him that Laxus have woken up. Makarov walked to the infirmary with a strong and firm expression on his face. He entered the guild and saw Laxus looking at the ceiling.
Makarov: Cana beat you up really bad.
Laxus: I underestimated her and lost.
Makarov: But what you did cannot be forgiven.
Laxus: I know... but don't punish them (He said pointing towards the Thunder God Tribe). They were just following orders and what happened with Freed was enough punishment I think.
Makarov: I think so too... but you are correct that I have become old and a new Master is needed.
Laxus: Hope that it isn't me...
Makarov turned around and started to leave when he stopped near the gate.
Makarov: Laxus... you are exiled from our guild.
After saying that Makarov swiped his hand and Laxus's guild mark disappeared. Makarov was clearly crying but he wiped away his tears and left the infirmary but didn't notice that Laxus was crying too. Makarov exited the infirmary and stood up on the bar table and roared to gather everyone's attention.
Makarov: It is clear that I have become quite old to continue this job and what happened today assured me more that I am no longer fit. So I have chosen my successor which I will announce after Fantasia... For now everyone ENJOY...

A/N: How do you like my decision for a new master?? Can you guess who will it be??
