Through their network with other guilds, Gildarts informed the guild that there were more and more portals opening around in the different nations of Ishgar, each seemingly leading to different worlds.
The demon realm that Mirajane was captured in was one of many. Several guilds had experienced great losses in personal.
Fairy Tail has so far been fortunate. Having so many S-Class mages, they were the most powerful guild in Fiore.
They had Gildarts, Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Juvia, Cana, Levy, Mest, Loki, Elfman, Evergreen, Freed and Bickslow, they were well stocked in S-Classes.
Even then, several of them came back injured. With several weaker guilds being wiped out, Fairy Tail had to take up slack, and many of the sub teams had to be broken up.
Natsu teamed up with Happy and Lucy again.
Gray with Juvia.
Erza with Wendy
Gajeel and Levy
Freed and Bickslow
Elfman and Evergreen
Mest with Loki
Laxus went by himself a lot
Gildarts went with Cana whenever he could
They came back with injuries while succeeding with their missions. But they were swamped.
As news came in, Ace got more and more concerned as were the rest about the portals.
Ace himself was treated as an unofficial S-Class, and given S-Class missions. He was recommended, together with Lucy, Wendy and Max for this year’s S-Class Trials.
Ace had already consolidated the magic he could use, so he didn’t need more training as his magic was limited to his imagination.
In preparation, Ace started traveling around Fiore, talking to members of Crime Sorciere, playing around with his time magic and doll magic.
He stood on top the building where August of Spriggan 12 floated before he disintegrated. With the help of his upgraded [Historia of the Dead] magic, he got a Historia version of August to help him with the spell.
He finally managed to merge several magical concepts together to restore August’s body, even though in disintegrated many years ago.
“Success!” he said as he stored August’s real body and dispersed the Historia version.
“Now, I’ll have to target those at the hall” he thought to himself.
The next night when none of the S-Class mages were around, he froze time in the Fairy Tail guild and used the same tactic, getting Historias of Zeref, Mavis and Larcade to identify the exact location of their demise.
Then, he used the same time magic to restore Zeref, Mavis and Larcade’s bodies that disintegrated in the guild hall and stored them.
On another night, he also did the same when he traced down where Silver, Gray’s father disappeared and did the same, recreating his body and storing it.
He also did the same for Acnologia’s human body off the coast of Hargeon Port and Ur in Brago where she died casting Ice Shell on the demon Deliora.
He even traced down Zero’s body after finding out from Crime Sorciere where MacBeth killed Zero, and restored it.
One by one, he found and restored all the powerful bodies of dead friends and foes that Fairy Tail met over the years.
Acnologia, Zeref, Mavis, August, Irene, Hades, Zero, Silver, Ur, Larcade, Bloodman, God Serena, Wall Eehto, Azuma, Zancrow, Mard Geer, Kyoka, Tempester, Keyes and Ezel, there were 20 of them.
He went by himself to an abandoned place late at night, far from anyone and got Ultear, Minerva, Kagura, Brandish and Dimaria to guard the area. They were all nude, wearing only a mask to hide their faces. This was his preferred uniform for them.
He stood in the middle of a field and brought out all the dead bodies he collected, getting them to stand using his [Macro] curse. They all stood naked before him, fully restored.
He then started to change them, so that they would look more uniform.
The older looking men like August, Hades and Zero were restored to their early 20s, no longer looking like old men.
Irene Belserian, Silver, Ur, God Serena and Azuma were similarly reduced to their early 20s.
He also grew Mavis’ body to make her taller, grew bigger breasts so she no longer looked like a child.
He decided however, not to resurrect them, as some of them were too incredibly powerful, he may lose control over them.
Instead, he decided to use them like puppets using his [Macro] curse or batteries since they all held enormous amounts of magical power.
He could summon them using his [Historia of the Dead] or create copies of them using [Arc of Embodiment] anyway.
He dressed them all in cloaks with nothing underneath, with several different colors and were semi transparent. Although their faces were well concealed, the silhouettes of their body could clearly be seen through the cloth.
Mavis’ and Larcade’s cloak were pure white, while Ur and Silver were in light blue. Irene was in bright red, while Zeref, Hades, Zero were in black and all the Tartaros members were in grey. God Serena was in dark blue, Zancrow was in yellow and Asuma was in green.
If all else fails, they were his trump cards. Together with Ultear, Minerva, Kagura, Brandish and Dimaria, his forces were beyond even the Spriggan 12, especially with Acnologia, Zeref, August and Irene who were in a power level of their own.
He would try his best not to reveal them unless absolutely necessary, since some like Mavis, Irene, Silver and Ur would cause conflicts with his Fairy Tail guild mates.
They flew around him, all 20 members of his puppet squad, all releasing a vast amount of magical power. Then, they all disappeared into his [Requip] dimension.
He floated down with a satisfied smile. Regardless what happens, he had full confidence that he could handle anything.
He smiled at Ultear, Minerva, Kagura, Brandish and Dimaria and kept them away.
His preparation was complete, he headed back to his home.
As he entered his house, Jenny and Mirajane were waiting naked for him eagerly.
“So are your preparations complete?” asked Mirajane.
Ace nodded as the already naked Jenny helped him remove his clothes.
