A/N: Ok, first of all, let me say something. Axel and girls will be frozen in time at least for Earthland but all of them will be in Cara's realm. At first, I thought that I would use this time for World Travel but that isn't my cup of tea as I have said before so dumped the idea.
Next thing you should understand that this 7 year is just a waste of time, yes maybe GMG is brought into action but anything else is useless. Even if I don't freeze them in time I will just do a huge timeskip of 7 years and I won't even make them participate in GMG. Because reaching the top from the bottom has another kind of appeal. People will be shocked, mags will be shocked, and so on.
At least see the reason which I use to make them freeze in time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azuma used Bleeve and went to punch Lily but his fist was stopped by a person which all of their guild members hated in passion. Ultear Milkovich, traitor, and betrayer of their guild. Azuma had never thought that she could come out of hiding herself and what shocked him even more, that how easily Ultear stopped his Bleeve.
Azuma: So you decided to show up traitor??
Ultear: Yes, I am not a coward. I was always in plain and open sight.
Azuma: So it is going to be my honor to take your head to Master Hades.
Ultear: Why don't we find out who takes whose head?? You guys get away from this place.
Lily didn't wait for another moment and picked up Carla and Wendy and started to run away from that place. Suddenly Azuma popped out from a nearby tree.
Azuma: I never said that I will let you getaway.
But before Azuma could attack them his whole body was frozen in ice and Ultear's voice was heard.
Ultear: You have no choice in this matter.
As soon as Ultear finishes speaking the Ice explodes and Azuma walks out of it. Azuma had a pissed off expression on his face and looked in the direction where Lily ran away. He looked that they have gone too far and decided to give up on them for now. Maybe he will find them later after he defeats Ultear.
Azuma: I guess that I have to deal with you first before going after them.
Ultear didn't wait and an unimaginable amount of Ice Vines came into existence and went towards Azuma. Azuma was shocked by the sheer scale of the Magic cast by Ur. Azuma used his trees to destroy the Ice Vines. Azuma knew that he can no longer joke around because Ultear was completely serious and she has become very strong.
Soon Azuma uses Tree Arc and huge tress started to erupt from the ground making another small forest there. Several fists made of the tree appear and try to hit Ultear but she destroyed them using either Ice or Arc of Time. She formed two Ice swords in her hands before she attacks Azuma with blinding speed but he just dodges that attack by merging with a tree.
Ultear: This is getting annoying.
Ultear gets annoyed by this ability of hiding and running away and decides to put a stop at it.
Ultear: Arc of Time: Flash Forward.
A huge magic circle appears over the forest and another appears on the surface of the ground. All the trees start to turn old and wither away. Azuma saw this and tries to run but Ultear has already located him because the tree in which he was hiding was destroyed. Azuma decides to use his most powerful magic so he can defeat Ultear.
Azuma: Terra Clamare.
Azuma saw that his trees will be destroyed so he decided to use them in an explosion. A huge explosion engulfed the whole forest. After a few moments the dust and smoke cleared out and Azuma was completely shocked to see the Magic circle made by Ultear to be still present there. He then looks at the direction where he last saw Ultear founds a huge Ice cocoon. The Ice cocoon cracks and an unharmed Ultear walks out. Azuma was shaking due to the magic he used in the attack. He knew he can't run away or dodge so it was the end for him.
Ultear immediately reaches for Azuma and stabs him in the gut and uses her other sword to stab him in his throat.
Ultear: Wait for me in hell...
These were the last words heard by Azuma before he closed his eyes permanently. Ultear Froze the whole body and shattered it into million pieces and then flew towards Wendy's direction.
~WITH AXEL,CANA, AND LUCY~
Lucy: What should we do??
Axel: I can sense Erza and Makarov coming this way, so we wait for them.
After waiting for sometime Erza and Makarov lands in front of Axel.
Erza: I have sent Gildarts and the girls to protect the participants. So it seems Cana completed the exam and became an S-Class mage.
Both Makarov and Erza saw the tattoo on Cana's arm and reached the conclusion. Makarov was too shocked to say anything but Erza decided to speak up regarding that matter.
Axel: Good... that is good.
Before they could speak more they see the ship of Grimoire Heart heading in this direction.
Makarov: We can't let them find 1st Master's Grave.
After saying that Makarov starts to grow in size when Axel puts a hand on his shoulder.
Axel: Let me deal with that.
Axel immediately pulls out his sword and transforms into Baal. Axel started to gather some magic and launches his spell.
Axel: Bararaq.
Immediately the clouds split apart and a huge blue lightning bolt dropped from the sky. The lightning bolt hit the ship and huge explosions took place on the ship. The ship was almost completely destroyed, the ship started to descend and drop into the ocean.
Axel: Well now the nuisance is taken care of.
Makarov: No matter how many times you use your power I simply cannot get used to it.
Erza: I see... Mest went to meet with the Council.
Makarov looks down but didn't say anything.
Axel: Irene killed two members of Grimoire Heart and Ultear is fighting another one.
Makarov: Wait... how do you know that??
Axel: I can sense the Magic power of separate individuals.
Cana: I can do that too, that's how I completed the exam.
Erza: I can do that too.
Axel: I think before my lightning hit their ship except one of them everyone has left the ship. Cana and Lucy you go and meet with Gray and Juvia, they are the nearest ones. Cana nods her head and grabs Lucy and flies away.
Makarov: You git to teach me that...
