Two months have already passed but Zeref didn't make any move neither did Ankheseram, so it was quite boring for Axel and the girls to be waiting like this. So, finally, Axel decided to make a move to provoke both Zeref and Akheseram.
Erza: What do you want Axel?
Axel: I want you to take me to the secret room, below our Guild.
Erza became slightly tense because she never told Axel about this and there was no way that Master Makarov would tell Axel about this. Cara could have told him but that Goddess never meddled with mortal beings so it was quite impossible. Erza didn't mind Axel knowing that but she was worried because she thought that Axel would hate her for keeping this secret.
Axel noticed her expression and immediately understood what she was thinking. So, Axel decided to take away her worries.
Axel: Don't worry, I don't hate you for keeping this secret, after all this is a duty of Fairy Tail Master.
Erza: Yes, Master made me promise before I became the Guild Master. So, what do you want to do there?
Axel: I want to revive Mavis.
Erza: …Ok, let's go.
But before they could leave the room Mavis appeared in front of the door stopping them.
Mavis: You can't revive me, I will cause more death.
Axel: I can remove the curse too so don't worry. You can be again close to your loved ones.
Tears started to fall Mavis's eyes, Axel just placed his hand over her head and patted her gently.
After the Erza took Axel to the secret room where Mavis's body was being kept. Mavis also appeared beside them. Axel let out a huge sigh and placed his hand over the crystal and his mark started to glow brightly. Axel started to release a huge amount of Magic Power and the crystal started to crack and finally shattered dropping Mavis's body. Axel caught Mavis and Erza placed clothes on her body.
A few seconds later Mavis opened her eyes, Axel placed his hand over her head and again released a huge amount of Magic Power and Mavis's body started to glow brightly and a dark smoke came out of her body and disappeared into thin air.
Axel: You are free from now on.
Mavis again started to cry and hugged Axel tightly, she also felt the curse disappear from her body. After some time she finally calmed down and Axel left the room while Erza supported her. After some time both Erza and Mavis left the room together.
Erza: Should we tell the other about her revival?
Axel: No, if you want you can tell Master Makarov. The person I wanted to agitate already got the message… he will surely make a move now.
Mavis: You are talking about Zeref, right?
Axel: Of course… so Mavis, does your body feel okay?
Mavis: Yes… I just feel many time stronger than before.
Axel: Of course, you have absorbed the power Fairy Heart, though you still can't control the power or your only competition would be Zeref.
Mavis: Got it… so how much stronger would I have to be if I fight with any of you?
Erza: At least 10 times stronger than now, only then you can stand on an equal footing with us.
Axel: Ok, let's go upstairs. Erza, I going to keep a watch on Alvarez.
Erza: Take Cana and Mira with you.
Axel: Ok…
After that Axel went upstairs and found Cana drinking booze which was a common and regular thing. Mira was usually working as a barmaid. Axel walked up to Cana's table and sat down.
Axel: Come on we got a mission.
Cana: What mission?
Axel: I will tell you on the way.
Cana got up from the table and followed Axel.
Axel: Mira, let's go on a mission.
Mira: Hai…!!
Mira said with a gentle smile and left the Guild building along with Axel and Cana. Axel asked Vega to point towards Alvarez Empire. The three of them flew up and both the girls followed Axel while he took the lead.
Cana: So, where are we going?
Axel: Alvarez Empire… I revived Mavis and removed her curse so Zeref must have noticed it already. He must be making plans now about invading Ishgar.
Mira: So, we are going to gather intel, right?
Axel: Yes… but if you girls want some action, we can do that too.
Cana: I like the direct approach.
Mira: Me too…!!
Axel: But I think first we should look around and when the time comes cause as much as destruction possible, maybe kill some of Spriggan 12 and leave.
Cana: Fine by me… I always wanted to try booze from other kingdoms.
Mira: Ok… I can buy some new clothes there, I have heard that their dressing culture is different than ours.
Axel: Whatever you like girls…!!
A few hours have already passed after they left Magnolia, the three of them saw a town.
Cana: Let's take a break there…
Axel: Ok, let's have lunch too… after that, we will leave.
Mira: Fine by me.
The three of them landed outside the town and saw that the town was completely empty. They could still feel the life signs inside the houses so the town was not deserted. They were all hiding inside the houses.
Axel: What the fuck happened here?
Cana: Beats me… the streets are completely empty.
Mira: This is so depressing… this makes me sad.
Axel: Let's look through the town, let's try to find someone.
All of them started to look throughout the town when the three of them found someone they knew. It was Kagura from Mermaids Heel, she also noticed Axel and the girls and decided to greet them.
Kagura: Hello, nice to meet you too… did you guys take the mission too?
Axel: What mission?
Kagura: This town is being attacked by bandits, which is the reason this town looks deserted.
Axel: Nah… we were just passing by. Did you come alone?
Kagura: No the rest of the girls are looking at the other parts.
Axel: Oh… then let us help you guys. You guys can keep the reward.
Kagura: No no… no need we can divide the reward equally.
Axel: Don't worry… we are just bored.
