It was extremely early the next morning when Erza woke everyone up. She claimed they needed to head out early if they wanted to get this done fast. Nobody was thrilled but went with it none the less. It's not like they would stand up to the mighty Titania anyways. So after packing everything again and shoveling down some breakfast at a diner, they began walking east until they reached the base of a mountain. From there they climbed up steep hills and had to take a few breaks, but eventually the guild came into view. They found coverage behind a few boulders and began thinking of a plan.

"We can't just waltz right in like we own the place. If this guild is full of powerful mages, we'll get taken down immediately. We need to be stealthy." Erza said, already knowing this would be hard. Fairy Tail wasn't known for it's stealth, it was known for charging in and making a mess.

"Well then we're screwed." Gray muttered, grunting as Natsu elbowed him in the ribs. "Don't be negative, you damn stripper! We're Fairy Tail, we can do anything!" Natsu objected, pumping his fist in the air enthusiastically.

"Natsu's right!" Lucy agreed, "We just need to be quiet. So I think splitting up would be helpful."

"Good idea Lucy. But since we're splitting up, we need to carefully pick which entrances we're each going in to. The front door is obviously off limits. Now, judging by the outside appearance, I'd say there's at least three floors. I think if we do go in the first floor it should be from the back. Me and Wendy will go that way since we're the most likely to stay quiet." Erza said, drawing out a map in the dirt with her finger.

"Natsu and Lucy can find a way to climb to the second floor and sneak in through one of the front windows. Gray and Juvia can do the same, but you guys should hit the back way instead to cover more ground. That leaves Laxus and Gajeel to the third floor. I trust that all of you will behave and most importantly stay quiet. If you encounter anyone defeat them quickly so nobody else gets alerted, and if you come across a stronger mage, give it everything you've got. Me and Wendy are going to see if there's a basement first and look for any signs of something related to Zeref. So Natsu and Lucy, if you get the chance, go down to the first floor.
