Meanwhile with the Tenrou Group
The tenrou group had just pulled into the hargeon port after several long hours at sea. The trip from tenrou was sad and quiet after the initial outburst from the members that tried to rescue natsu.
After Mira, Levy, Happy, and Lily woke up and heard the news about what happened to natsu. The girls and happy cried for hours while Lily just bowed his head in respect to someone he called friend.
After disembarking the ship the silent members of the Fairy tail guild made their way back to magnolia and the inevitable fight and heartache.
(IN Fairy Tail)
The scene could only be described as chaos as members of the guild fought, drank and talked with their friends while waiting for the return of the tenrou group.
"I bet you Natsu was promoted this year to S-class" Said fairy tails resident purple flare mage Macao.
"No It had to be grey, he is more levelheaded than natsu and you need that for s-class," Said the smoke mage of fairy tail Wakaba.
"I bet you Natsu-nii destroyed the completion because he is the best mage ever," Said the number one Natsu fanboy Romeo.
"Well we will find out shortly, master said they would be back tonight" Said the sand magic user max.
After another thirty minutes the guild doors started to open and the guild became quite for one of the rare times since its creation. All members of the guild where watching the doors as team tenrou came in with the heads down, eyes swollen from crying and the many injuries, some of which looked very serious. The one thing that stood out above all else and had the guild go into a state of worry was the lack of a certain pink haired dragon slayer that even in defeat would be shouting and smiling. After about thirty seconds someone mustered up the courage to speak.
"Welcome back everyone! What happened and where is Natsu?" Asked the green haired beauty known as Bisca. When this was asked everyone of the tenrou group looked at each other before Erza mustered up the courage to speak, but from the broken, defeated look in her eye like she lost the love of her life, the guild wasn't sure it wanted to know.
"Thank you everyone its good to be home and I have some very bad news to tell you." Said Erza while tears where streaming down her cheeks.
"What is it, Did something bad happen to Natsu-nii?" Asked Romeo with unhidden concern in his voice as he looked for his role model and idol.
"Natsu (choked sob) died on tenrou island after being betrayed by some of the people closest to him." Said mirajane while glaring at the natsu's betrayers.
To say the guild reacted negatively would be an understatement, everyone was yelling over each other trying to get answers while certain members just started to cry.
"What do you mean b-betrayed?" Asked Macao with a stutter trying to hide his sadness while holding a bawling Romeo who kept crying natsu's name.
"Natsu was betrayed by those people right there and it resulted in his death." Said gajeel who was holding a crying levy while trying to hide the sadness in his eyes while glaring at fairy tails master, Gildart, thunder god tribe, Cana, Lucy, grey, Juvia and Carla.
Thats when Erza stepped forward and told the story of what happened on fairy tails annual s-class promotion trail and what resulted in the death of the heart of the guild. From that night forward, fairy tail would forever be split into those who agreed with the sacrifice of natsu and those who would have stood by his side.
After this the guild would forever have 2 sides that would have nothing to do with the other except for business. Friends, family and teams were ripped apart because of the cowardly decisions of a few who feared Acnologia and left one of their family to face it by himself.
