"The Oración Seis, I was hoping I'd never hear that name again." Macao said. "I reckon that's why ol Makarov was summoned by The Ten Wizard Saints?" Wakaba asked. "Hmm. Our guild was responsible for their members' arrest following the Nirvana incident. And now it appears that they've escaped from prison." Erza said. "While we were asleep for those seven years, they got a lot stronger." Gray said. "We were so utterly hopeless against them this time." Carla said. "I couldn't do a single thing to help. I'm too weak!" Romeo said. "Sorry, I'm the one to blame for all of this." Michelle said. "Please don't be so hard on yourself, Michelle." Lucy said. "Yeah. Don't you remember what Natsu said before? My dad dumped all of this crazy stuff on us. And expected us to figure it out without any explanation." You said. "Do you even know how your father managed to get himself involved in all this business with the infinity clock in the first place?" Wendy asked. You looked at her. "No clue, unfortunately." You said. "That mystery can be solved at a later time. Our highest priority at the moment is to locate the members of The Oración Seis. And from there, recover The Infinity Clock." Erza said. "Well, then let's get moving. All we gotta do is start looking everywhere we can think of, and we're bound to run into them eventually, right?" Natsu asked. "Don't be stupid. We need to come up with a solid plan of action before we do anything." Gray said. "What?!" Natsu asked angrily. "Who are you calling stupid?!" He demanded. "All I'm saying is if we wanna find them we gotta get out there and look!" Natsu said. "I called you stupid, Flame For Brains. Because only a complete idiot would go running around with no strategy!" Gray said. Natsu and Gray start beating each other up again.

"Oh, Gray, you're amazing." Juvia said. "I love a man who's willing to fight for what he believes in." She gushed. "Everybody is really on edge today." Wendy said. "Well, how do you expect them to feel? We don't know what to do." Carla said. "And we're still missing some key players." Erza said. "Yeah, Gildarts and Laki haven't come back from their mission yet." Max said. "At times like these, we need strength from every single person in this guild." Erza said. "Yo! What's going on?" Bickslow asked. Erza turned and saw more guild members. "The Thunder Legion has returned victorious!" Bickslow said. "Of course it really wasn't such a struggle for a team as good as ours. These jobs can be such an easy payday sometimes. It's almost criminal." Evergreen said. Freed stepped in. "Excuse me, but is there a problem here?" He asked.

"Okay, so something called The Infinity Clock is counting down to the end of the world?" Bickslow asked. "I swear, we leave for a couple of days and things go downhill fast." He said. "My, what unfortunate timing. Had we still been here, I'm sure we could have easily dispatched The Oración Seis without much of a fuss." Evergreen said. "Actually, while we were on our mission, I was out in the marketplace getting ingredients for our next meal." Freed said. "I hope for their sake you weren't making em eat more of those nasty wing fish." Happy said. "While I was there, I overheard some soldiers talking about the destruction of churches in Sheerotsume." He explained. "Two suspects were spotted fleeing the scene. A hooded man carrying a large scythe and his accomplice who possessed incredible speed." Freed said. "I can think of two bad guys who fit that description perfectly." Happy said. "Erigor and Racer!" Natsu said. "Expect now he calls himself The Grim Reaper." Happy said. "From what I could gather, the attacks on churches have suddenly intensified in the past several days." Freed said. "I don't understand why you never bothered to tell me or Evergreen about any of this stuff." Bickslow said. "I told you over dinner that same night. I can only assume you were too enraptured by my cooking to pay very close attention." Freed said. "But why target churches? I still don't see any clear motive for it." Erza said. "All I know, is that ever since The Oración Seis got their grubby little hands on The Infinity Clock, things have gotten a whole lot worse." Lucy said.

"Kinana?" Macao asked as the girl walked down the stairs. "Hold on now, you're in no shape to be walking around." Wakaba said. "What's wrong? Do you need some help?" Lucy asked. You gasped as you sensed something off about her and watched her closely. The young woman grabbed a fork from the table and walked toward the wall. "You better get back in bed and rest." Wakaba said. "That strange look in her eyes." Michelle said. Lucy nodded. "We've wasted too much time already." The woman mumbled. You gasped. "Let's move.power from misery. The sorrow that consumes my soul, is the only thing still driving me forward." Kinana mumbled as she began to write on the wall. "Kinana stop!" Michelle said. She continued writing a strange language on the wall. "The pain can only end when the world itself ends." She said. You had realized what was going on. She was being manipulated.
"What does all of this mean?" Max asked. "Does anybody know what the writing says?" Wendy asked. "Her mumblings strike me as particularly ominous." Carla said. "Piece to the puzzle, and then we can open up the gates of hell." Kinana mumbled. "Do you think maybe she's finally remembering something from her past?" Lucy asked. "Yeah, maybe. Now that you mention it, it seems like it was bothering her a lot lately." Max said. "Before she came to Fairy Tail, Kinana was under some kind of curse." Lucy said. "Poor thing." Michelle said. Levy turned around. "Hey, this is ancient Potamelian!" She said. "This stuff too?" Wakaba asked. "Just like on the clock hand." Macao said. "How strange. It appears to be a description of a man named Will Neville." Freed said. "Are you serious?" Lucy asked. "He's the author of Key Of The Starry Heavens." You said. "Huh?!" Natsu and Happy asked. "Okay, this is a pretty rough translation, but it says, Will Neville

was once a great wizard who made contracts with many celestial spirits and was remarkably skilled in using them." Levy said. "Contracts with celestial spirits?" Happy asked. "So he was both an author and a celestial wizard to boot. Interesting." Gray said. "And it goes on to say, in life Will Neville had numerous followers. However, after he fell into his enteral slumber, his pupils scattered in all directions to places unknown." Freed said. You gasped and put a book on the table. "What's that for?" Natsu asked. "I think it can help us. It's a biographical encyclopedia." You said. "Let's see, here it is." Lucy said as she found his name in the book. "Will Neville, an author and a cardinal of Zentopia?" She asked. "So he was a bird?" Natsu asked. "A cardinal is a high ranking church official." You said. "Uh, according to this, he was a very dedicated and prominent member of the church. He was also the most extensive researcher on Zentopia's history." Lucy said. "That is, until the day he suddenly left the church and went missing for quite a long time." She continued. "Does it explain why he left?" Evergreen asked. Lucy looked at the book. "No it doesn't. But apparently, several years after he disappeared, he re-emerged into the pubic eye as Will Neville, the author of children's literature." She said. "But there's no mention of him being a celestial wizard in here. Or that he he had any kind of following." She said. "This whole thing is freaking me out. I don't understand how Kinana would know stuff about him that's not in the encyclopedia." Max said. "And how the heck does she know how to write in that weird ancient language?" Happy asked. "I remember the captain of The Legion Platoon said that The Infinity Clock was the property of Zentopia." Carla said. "And a prominent former member of the church also wrote the Key Of The Starry Heavens. The book (Y/n)'s father used to pass on his message about how to find the clock piece." Michelle added.

Natsu pounded his fist on the table. "I can't stand it anymore! What in the heck are we gonna do about all this crap?! I say we head out right now, find this Milk Devil guy and beat the ever loving snot out of him!" Natsu said. "Will Neville has been dead for a long time. Leave the thinking to the grownups." Gray said. Gray and Natsu started to fight each other again. "Don't take down my darling Gray!" Juvia said. "If we could somehow figure out where The Oración Seis was going to strike next, we could be waiting there to ambush them." Max said. Happy nodded. Cana yawned and stretched as she woke up. "Ugh. Would you keep it down? I'm trying to get my beauty sleep." She complained. "Don't ya think it's a little late for that, Cana? You've practically been asleep all day." Wakaba said. Cana stood up. "Yeah, but I just can't seem to wake up for some reason, ya know?" She asked. Then she held up her cards. "Now, do you boys and girls wanna find The Oración Seis or what?" She asked. "That's right. You can use your fortunetelling." You said. She smiled at you. "Oh, you bet I can!" She said. "There we go. All set. You think that's gonna work for ya?" Romeo asked Cana as they looked at a map. "It's perfect. Now I can divine where The Oración Seis will attack next. And which of us are gonna go there and throw them a nice little surprise party." Cana said. "I see it!" Cana said as she tossed some cards at multiple locations on the map. "So that's all it takes, huh?" Bickslow asked. "Um mmm." Cana nodded. "That's it. If we send these teams to these locations we can stop the attacks and save some lives." Cana informed. "Cool! So tell us who's working with who. And where we're going!" Natsu said. Macao held the cards in his hands. "Without further ado the first is a two-man team, composed of Gray and Freed." He said as he showed the two cards. "How interesting. I've often wondered if our magic styles might complement each other." Freed said. "I've gotta admit, I've wondered that myself. Your enchantments and my ice maker magic could be a pretty awesome combination." Gray said. Macao held up the next two cards. "Next up, we've got Erza and Evergreen." He said. "Let's just hope that they'll be able to get along for once." Romeo said. "Yeah, no kidding. Evergreen has always treated Erza like they're in some kind of competition." Wakaba agreed. "Oh, you too Max." Macao said as he showed him the card. "I'm on their team?!" He asked. "This is fabulous. Now we can finally settle  the matter once and for all. We'll see who's worthy of the "Queen Of The Fairies" title." Evergreen said. "The goal of our mission is to track down The Oración Seis. But I'll gladly take you on anytime after that." Erza said. The two women glared at each other. Max went between them. "Now, ladies. Remember we have to work together as a team. Let's try our best to get along, okay?" He asked. "The next team is Gajeel and Juvia." Macao said. "Both ex Phantom Lord guild members on the same team?" Levy asked in concern. "Oh no! Why must I and my darling Gray be kept apart yet again?! Why must fate continue to be so incredibly cruel to us?!" Juvia cried.

"Next up is Wendy and Bickslow." Macao said. Wendy sweat dropped. "All right little lady this is gonna be a real blast I am psyched!" Bickslow said. Wendy smiled nervously. "Yeah. I'm looking forward to working with you. We'll be a great team." She said. "Sweet. And don't you forget that my babies are gonna be on the same team as us." He said. "Go team!" His blocks said as Wendy sweat dropped. "All right. This one's got Happy, Carla and Pantherlilly." Macao said. "Aye! The exceed squad is back together again!" Happy said. "Well aside from Lily I'm not entirely sure we would fare well against such a powerful enemy." Carla said. "And for the last team, it's Natsu, (Y/n), Lucy, Elfman and Michelle." Macao announced. "So let's go!" Natsu said. "We're the only five person team?" Lucy asked. "This it great. We're together." Michelle said. You nodded. "I couldn't have picked a better teammate than you." You said. "And that's all. Hey! Does this mean I gotta stay behind again?" Macao complained. Cana chuckled. "Aw man, I wish I was going with you guys." Macao said to Natsu. "There most be some way you and I can be on a team, together! Gajeel, you have to switch with him right this instant!" Juvia shouted. "No way. My divination magic told me this was the best paring for the mission that you've been given." Cana said as she held the cards. "In that case why don't you just let me switch places with Elfman instead?!" Juvia asked pointing at the man. "Sorry, that won't work either." Cana said. "I don't think I can even remember a time when you and I haven't been on a team together, Natsu." Happy said. "Aw, Crap! What the heck am I gonna do if I need to fly around?!" Natsu asked.
