The light has disappeared as the smoke starting to dissipates, everyone stare at their master who's body gone frozen and lost its colour. Everyone has a solemn look on their faces as some of them are sobbing in pain from the loss of their guild master, a clanking sound were heard as Erza stood a few feet away from Makarov's body. Each of them had their moments with the master played on their mind as Mavis remembered how she named him when he was born naming him after the soft hearted king that she once had read on the book. Mavis cried more remembering it as she just witnessed how he left the world. Erza who's crying remembered how the master had took her in and helps her when she joined in the guild, she steps forward before she gets on her knees and bows down with her head on the ground thanking the man for everything and how she was glad to be called as his daughter. 
Akari who's frozen in her tracks stared wide eyed as tears rolled down on her cheeks, she was too late. The girl took a step forward as her eyes were focus on the old man's side, her heart felt heavy as a lump on her throat are making it hard for her to swallow. She didn't even get the chance to talk to him as the last time she had a conversation with him is when he's still at the Alvarez Empire. She took another step as memories began to replay in her mind as her heart starts beating loudly on her chest. 
Badump 
“ Little gramps! Look! I have a magic!” the little Akari exclaimed while showing to the old man her hands that are glowing with light magic.
“ Good job Akari! Now you can go with me and I'll help you train with your magic, how is it?” the old man asked her to which the little girl jumped in happiness as Makarov laughed at her action. 
She took another step as some of the members sees her and stare at her. Cana who's crying at the side near her father looks up too and stare at the girl. 
‘ Why?.. why did it has come to this?..’ 
Badump
“ Akari you brat! I told you to stop pranking me! Are you planning to give me a heart attack?!” the old man yells outside his office as Akari giggles at the side watching the old man who has some veins on his forehead. 
‘ Why?.. ’ 
Badump
“ Akari.. no matter what those kids says to you don't listen to them. You have a family.. everyone in the guild is your family,  like you are to them. Be proud and stood up for yourself and tell them you have a whole family living inside the Fairytail guild!” 
‘ Family? You're the reason that i have a family now little gramps..but..’ 
Erza stared at her figure once she stood back up and turn to look at the girl who's looking blankly at the old man with tears on her cheeks. 
Badump
‘ Why? Why must they take you away from me? From us?’ 
Badump
‘ Dammit!’ 
‘ Damn it!’ 
‘Why?!’ 
‘ DAMN YOU ZEREF!!’ 
Akari clenched her hands as the others watched how her skin turn red and her magic started to increase more. Some veins starts appearing on her body as her eyes glowed in yellow with some silver on it, her canines became sharp as her magic starts leaking on her body. 
“ DAMN IT!!” The girl suddenly yelled as the magic around her bursts everywhere, her hair become longer that it's now reaching the back of her thighs. A growl escape from her chest as she snarled at the beastly soldiers before she flew in their direction in an incredible speed striking them straight on their necks snapping it to the side before falling on the ground lifeless. Mavis watched how the girl has gone berserk as Akari who still have some tears on her cheeks attacks the soldiers and kill them all without mercy. 
“ Akari..” 
“ Soul Grab! Explode!” Akari yelled as she grabs a handful of soldiers soul and making them explodes as the soldiers body fell on the ground. The others watched how she killed them all easily, they all felt the pain too and so they can understand what Akari is feeling right at the moment. Though they are still confused about her as it seems like she now remembers them and wonder on what happened. 
“ Please.. stand up first master, the enemy is still here. We can't win without you.. do it for the old geezer too” Laxus said to the fallen girl who's crying while on her knees, his eyes then fell on the black haired girl who's continuing to destroy the enemies with her soul magic as explosions were heard from left and right. 
“ DAMN IT!” a loud growl were heard as Akari blasted everyone with her magic as the other members starts charging on the enemies too. Erza quickly requips as she joined them. 
“ Soul Ray!” a bursts of silver hits a large number of soldiers before her eyes looks up at the top of the hill where Irene and Zeref stood. Her eye colours intensified as her eyes landed at the black haired man who's looking down at them. The girl attacks a huge number of soldiers making them all explodes as she closed her fist. 
“ ZEREF!!” she yelled as she dashed forward killing every soldiers who dared to stop her from going any farther. Erza turned to see the black haired girl running forward and was about to follow her but Mavis stopped her saying that she will do it instead. 
Erza left the battlefield and began to track down her friends who she has found in a deadlock battle against each other as the two of them, Gray and Natsu was about to attack one another Erza came in between them stopping both their attacks as tears are coming down on her eyes. The two boys were shocked upon seeing her crying as they remember the past, seeing their friend cry and vow to never wanted to see it again causing for their magic to dissipates. The scarlet mage took the both of them and embrace the two as she continues to cry remembering what their master has told her earlier. Lucy, Juvia and Wendy arrive at the scene as the trio were worried for them and runs closer to both Gray and Natsu who had collapse on the ground. As the group reunited again an explosion happened a little far away from them that caught all their attention, someone walks through the smoke revealing the Scarlet Despair, Irene who Wendy states to herself that she resembles Erza before turning on her. Irene told them that she and Erza are one of the same, knowing that the new comer are an enemy Erza ordered Juvia and Lucy to take away the two boys who now has loost consciousness as she and Wendy remains at the place. 
Meanwhile at the Fairytail guild Akari finally arrive at the place as her eyes found the person she was looking for, Zeref who's inside the guild comfortably sitting at one table looks back at the girl as a smirk form on his face. Akari's eye colour intensified as some growl escapes from her with rage filling up inside her. 
“ Akari..” 
“ Zeref..”
