Axel groaned and opened his eyes and found himself in a beautiful place. Axel knew only one place had this much beauty. Axel was in Cara's realm, it meant two things that he somehow vaporized himself and second Cara pulled him and the girls out of Fairy Sphere to spend some time with them.
Axel gets up from his bed, this was definitely Cara's handiwork. A luxurious bed in the middle of the wilderness. Axel walked for a few moments from what he remembered from his memories, he was going towards Cara relaxing Garden.
He reached the garden and his doubts were cleared, Cara and the girls were all sitting there drinking tea. As soon as Axel walked in all of them noticed him and ran towards him. Immediately all the girls hugged him tightly including Cara.
Axel: How long I have been asleep??
Mira: You have been sleeping for 2 days.
Axel: Wow... so what happened in these two days??
Cana: Noting much... after we were covered by that sphere, we lost consciousness. When we opened our eyes we found ourselves here.
(A/N: Axel wasn't physically injured, only his Magic Reserves were severely depleted.)
Axel: So was Acnologia killed??
Cara: You killed him and fucked up the timeline severely, maybe or maybe not. Depends on several future possibilities.
Axel: Let us worry about that later, for now, let's relax.
After that Axel kissed all the girls and joined them in taking rest.
~BACK IN EARTHLAND~
The Magic Council has just announced to Fairy Tail that all the members participating in the S-Class Exams have perished along with Acnologia. At first, all the members called the Council liars in denial, and then they started bawling their eyes out. Mest or Doranbolt was the one who decided to give them the message.
Jellal: We understand, now please leave. We need to mourn our members.
Lahar: We will leave, but we also want to announce that Fairy Tail needs to hand over all the criminals they have been harboring within one week or their Guild will be disbanded.
All the members of Fairy Tail started to shout and protest but Cobra raised his hand gesturing them to calm down.
Jellal: We understand, now, please...
After Jellal said that Lahar and Doranbolt left the Guild, the whole Guild was ashamed for having Mest accept in their Guild. He was a coward and traitor who left the others to die.
Erik: They are wrong, our friends are still alive.
Macao: How can you say that.
When Erik spoke hope became clear in everyone's eyes. They were so devastated by the news that they would just latch on to the slightest of hope.
Meredy: Erik is right... Axel might kill his enemies without mercy but he won't kill his own guild members and especially not his lovers so that he could kill Acnologia.
Jellal: Yes, as you all heard, nobody left the Island after that coward ran away and only Axel and his lovers fought with Acnologia.
After hearing both these arguments all of the guild members went into deep thinking. Soon they found that Meredy and Jellal were absolutely right. Even though many of them haven't even interacted with Axel but all of them knew that Axel was a faithful member of the Guild. They also knew how much Axel cared for his lovers so there was no way that he would kill them.
Jellal: To protect themselves they must have used some kind of magic, so we can be sure that they will come back. It may take a few years but they are going to return that is for sure.
All the Guild members shouted while cheering loudly. All the gloomy mood was gone from before.
Meredy: For now, we will be needing to elect a new Guild member, someone who is old and has been a long member of this Guild.
Automatically all the eyes turned towards Macao, at first he didn't want the responsibility but after some severe persuading he finally relented.
Macao: Now, we cant have The Council take our members but we have no means of opposing them.
Meredy: I can help with that, follow me.
Everyone was confused but decided to follow Meredy and entered the Master's office. Meredy formed a small Magic Circle and opened Erza's secret drawer and pulled out a file and handed it over to Macao.
Erik: Why do you have access to the Master's drawer??
Meredy: She showed me the file and tools me where she kept, at that time I didn't think much of it when they said that if they suddenly disappear then the Council will definitely attack us and this file will be our weapon against them.
Macao looked through the file and kept getting more and more disgusted and then he handed the file to Erik and Jellal, they too became disgusted.
Erik: And here they call us evil.
Meredy: Sorano/Angel I need you to deliver the first article to any newspaper publisher as soon as possible.
Sorano nodded and took some papers from the file and went to complete her job. Meredy pulled out out another paper and started to write a letter to Magic Council.
~NEXT DAY~
The next day started calmly and quietly but it soon changed as people read the newspaper. It has the news about how the Magic Council declared some Guilds who were against them as Dark Guilds along with proof. It also has another document that showed how the Council has executed innocent people so that Dark Guilds can thrive and they have something to fight against.
Both of these claims were supported by undeniable proof. Riots started to happen, people started to rile up against Magic Council and destroy their properties. To say it in one word the image of Magic Council has been completely shattered.
~IN THE COUNCIL MEETING ROOM~
Gran Doma: This is the worst possible outcome.
Org: Who would have thought that the other members' Fairy Tail would have access to these documents.
Yajima: I know what to do... here is my resignation letter.
Every Council member was shocked that the matter has come to this.
Belno: You can't be joking right??
Yajima: No I am not joking, I have done enough sins for this lifetime and I won't be doing more.
Before anyone could say anything the doors opened and a Magic Knight came running, he then handed a letter to Gran Doma. Gran Doma stared at the letter and opened it.
"Dear Council Members,
I am not stupid that I am going to tell you my name, but I want to ask you how did you like the message?? Leave Fairy Tail as it is now or I am going to release more of your scandalous matters to the public. If just two articles can affect your image so much then just imagine what will happen I release the whole file. If you come to arrest Fairy Tail's member then the file will be released in public. If you attack us or plot anything against that it will also have the same result. Now, let Fairy Tail do its own business and you oldies do your own business. Then we are all happy.
Sincerely,
Enemy of JUSTICE"
Gran Doma then laid down the letter and everyone read it, all of them let out a sigh and decided to give up.
Council: We have been defeated...
