Axel and Erza reached the Guild and saw that Mira and Cana have already reached that Guild. The whole Guild have a serious kind of look on their faces, they looked angry but yet depressed. Axel and Erza both headed towards infirmary where Makarov and Laxus were. Makarov was sitting by the side of his Grandson, who was laying on the bed fighting with death.
Erza: Master, how is he?
Makarov looked at the newcomers and a small smile appeared on his face.
Makarov: Porlyusica had done whatever she could but everything now depends on Laxus.
Makarov sighed after saying that, Axel walked forward and sat beside Laxus and put his hand over Laxus's chest.
Axel: Both of you back off… I will heal him.
Erza nodded in understanding that Axel was going to use Cara's mark, so the Magic output will be also huge. Makarov was also confused but Erza put her hand over his shoulder and nodded. Makarov backed away a bit and saw a huge amount of Magic Power erupt from Axel. Laxus's body started to glow and the blackness on his skin started to disappear. As soon as the process started all the Guild members came in front of the infirmary to see what was happening.
Soon the glow faded and Laxus opened his eyes but Axel's face was filled with sweat and he was shaking too even if slightly.
Laxus: What happened to me?
Tears started to pour from Makarov's eyes and the Thunder God Legion immediately jumped over Laxus and hugged him tightly. Even if Axel used only a quarter of his huge Magic Reserve but still using so much Magic in such a short time makes him tired.
(A/N: Axel's Magic Reserves have grown in the 7 years' time gap)
Mira walked up to Axel and gave him a glass of water, at the side Freed was explaining what has happened to Laxus, and after that Makarov told Laxus how Axel healed him.
Erza: How are you feeling?
Axel: Tired slightly, I just need to catch my breath.
The Thunder God Legion came in front of Axel and bowed down to thank him for saving Laxus. Axel accepted their gratitude and left the infirmary after he caught his breath. Erza stayed there to know what has happened from the start.
Axel went to Erza's office and sat down on a chair. Soon Cana and Mira also showed and kissed Axel and sat down beside him.
Cana: So how did you spend your time?
Axel: Both I and Erza enjoyed our alone time, as both you know that after she became the 4th Master, she is unable to spend time with us as she did before.
Mira: Yes, maybe we should do this more. Leave the two of you.
Axel: Haha… that will be good. By the way, where is Gildarts I didn't see him?
Cana: He ran away after the mission was finished, Erza told me about Laxus when I was coming back alone.
Mira: Oh… so what are we going to do now?
Axel: Let's wait for Erza's decision. After all, she is the Guild Master now.
Axel, Cana, and Mira decided to wait for Erza to come here. After sometime Erza came to her office along with Makarov. Erza sat down on her chair and sighed heavily.
Erza: Even if they didn't attack our Guild member directly but our Guild member ended up fatally injured. I won't accept this face down… they just cannot mess with us and get out without any repercussions.
Makarov: Erza, you aren't saying that, right?
Erza: Unfortunately Master, that is what I have decided, we are going to war against Tartaros. Axel, I will be staying here, take Cana and Mira and find out the hole they are hiding in.
Axel: And leave them alone?
Erza: No, deal as much as heavy blow you can deal them in an instant.
Axel: I can kill them alone if you say.
Erza: No… I want them to scream and squirm and try everything they can possibly they can and still fail.
Mira: Fufufu… sometimes I think that you are actual demon Erza.
Erza: Fuck you, Mira… #@#@#@#@.
Cana: Gosh Erza… Calm down, you are cursing like a sailor.
Mira: Even a sailor would blush. I hold Axel responsible for this.
Makarov: I think I am going to wash my ears.
After some time everything returned to normal. Axel, Cana, and Mira left the Guild to search the Cube (base of Tartaros).
Cana: So where are we starting from?
Axel: We start from where Laxus was injured.
Mira and Cana nodded and flew away along with Axel, after an hour the three of them landed at the place where the fight took place. They landed and Axel started to walk around the destroyed place. If Axel wanted he could ask Vega for the location but it wouldn't work since it was a moving target so Vega asked Axel to get some sample of the person whom Laxus fought with. Axel knew that Tempester was still alive so he could easily locate him.
Vega collected the remaining residue of Tempester's power and gave Axel a pointer.
Axel: I think I got the location.
Axel told to both Cana and Mira and flew towards the pointed location. Pointed location for Axel and the girls only followed Axel. After an hour of continuous flying, the three of them saw a cube flying in the sky in the middle of nowhere.
Cana: So… that's their base, right?
Axel: Seems so.
Mira: So, which one us is going to do the honors?
Axel: I will do it.
Both the girls backed away from Axel, Axel then turned into Zepar and decided to use Zepar's power after a long time.
Axel: Extreme Magic: Voice of God.
Immediately the sky darkened and huge thunderbolts started to hit the cube, several hurricanes also erupted around the cube which made the cube crash on the ground. Axel immediately turned back into his human form.
Axel: Girls, how was that?
Cana/Mira: Awesome… if someone comes now, then we are fighting…
