Seven Years Later: The New Fairy Tail, A Shell of Its Former Self
Seven years have passed since the destruction of Tenrou Island, and Romeo Conbolt stares out at the sea. Bisca and Alzack, now married, tell Romeo their job is done and they should head back to the guild, as they don't want Macao to worry about his son. Bisca tries to comfort Romeo, but Alzack stops her, mid sentence.

At the Fairy Tail Guild, now a small tavern, Macao, the new Guild Master, is angry Romeo hasn't come home yet. Wakaba, now Macao's advisor tells him to calm down, which ends in the two arguing. Max Alors, Warren Rocko, and Nab Lasaro, complain about the lack of jobs, as their guild is so small. Meanwhile, Laki Olietta makes fun of Droy, who is now fat. Jet also insults Droy, and tells him even Reedus has trimmed down weight. Reedus points out he was slim in the first place, anyways. When Levy is mentioned, and somebody shouts about how she is never coming back, everybody gets silent. Just then, members of Twilight Ogre come into the guild and ask for their payment for the month. One of the members remind Macao how Fairy Tail is no longer the strongest guild in Magnolia, and how Twilight Ogre had helped Fairy Tail keep their tavern after they started to fade out. He then kicks Macao in the face. Just when everyone is about to fight, Macao yells at them not to. They all leave after trashing the guild, and warns Macao they will be back next month.

After they leave, everyone notices a painting of Makarov that had fallen out of Reedus's sketchbook. They look through all the other pictures of the guild seven years ago. Everyone reminisces on that day, and how Acnologia destroyed Tenrou Island, and left a strange emptiness in the Eternano Waters. Macao gets up and starts crying, saying how Romeo has never similed ever since that day.

Just then, Blue Pegasus arrives on Christina. Ichiya Wanderlei Kotobuki, and The Trimens come to the ground, and after patronizing Laki, they reveal they had detected something in the Eternano Waters. Ichiya says that Tenrou Island still exists.
