The Exceed could be shown even without a new portal to Edolas, since they are all in Earthland already. Come to think of it, I'd really like to know how they are faring.

It's been eight years since they set out to find all the missing evacuee children, they must at least be close to finding them all. And once that happens Shagotte - and hopefully also Marl and Lucy - will reveal to their children who they are.

Though the Exceed could work well as a motivation for Edolas people to come through. For example there could be a faction who was quite happy with the old status-quo and blames the disappearance of magic and the fall of Faust on the Exceeds. And how they come to Earthland to hunt the Exceeds to extinction to take revenge.

And of course King Jellal and his loyal guards, along with some Edo-Fairy Tail members chase after them to prevent the massacre.
