Finding August wasn't too difficult. After waking up due to Ultear's sheer panic when she found both Yin and Yang sandwiching her, they took the humvee out of Yin's storage and drove to the capital of Alakitasia.
*BUMP!*
"Yin that was the fifth guard you ran over..." Ultear muttered, looking out the back window at some poor soul who tried to stop them.
"Probably should have gotten out of the way then huh?" Yin retorted, driving with one hand while eating some beef jerky she bought at the motel before they left.
"Aw he'll live. Ya can't let life 'run you over' for long, Ultear. He'll get right back up, fix his broken legs annnnnd magic beasts are carrying him off into the woods. GGs, random guard number five.." Yang saluted, leaning out the window as her long golden hair whipped wildly.
"HALT! That magic vehicle is going way too fast!"
*BUMP!*
"Make that six..." Ultear added with a sigh.
Eventually, everyone stopped being dumb enough to attack the humvee or getting in the way. Reaching the Alvarez Empire's capital only took a few hours. As soon as they reached the massive walls of the city, they disembarked from the vehicle, stored it and walked in.
Of course, as they had no identification, the guards attempted to detain them.
"Halt and surrender yourselves, Spies!" One of the guard Captains ordered, surrounding the trio with a platoon of his men.
To their credit, they were professional and decently powerful. They were more capable than most mages in Ishgar. Unfortunately, they were trying to subdue two Dragons and a mage that knew time magic and ice-make magic, along with several other types of convenient magics.
In short, these guards would have had better luck trying to stop a natural disaster with silverware.
"Ice make: Frozen Tsunami." Ultear calmly announced before the guards were violently upheaved by several metric tonnes of magical ice bludgeoning them all at once.
Most of the thirty guards had been buried under the ice and the ones trying to get up and move had their metal armor starting to stick to the ice.
Fortunately for the guards, they were called off before they engaged with the three again. And after a few minutes of walking the Capital, the trio saw the streets empty with the sole exception of one man. An old man with long grey hair, a beard and a relatively simple outfit that screamed 'Wizard' to Yin.
"Is that him? He does feel strong." Yang muttered, quietly directing her question at Yin.
"Mhm. August. I guess now all we need to do is convince him we're here to talk." Yin replied.
"I imagine that'll be difficult after the mess we caused on the way here. He even cleared out the street. He may try to kill us right here." Ultear added, preparing to fight.
"Originally, I had intended to do just that. But then I saw you." August looked at Yin with a complex emotion he carried in his eyes.
Yin raised her brow but seeing his almost relieved-looking face, she had a vague idea.
"Did Zeref tell you about me?"
August nodded solemnly.
"He told me one day, his trusted friend will appear in the future. Past the year X777, you would come to destroy his curse.. or him. He's been waiting." August sighed emotionally.
"So.. you know where he is." Yin stated, stepping closer as the older man took a seat on a wooden bench nearby.
"I do not know exactly. He said he wished to watch over Mavis' grave. But he often wanders when his emotions are in conflict."
Yin sighed, "So he's wandering around and moping? God damn it.. Fine." Yin folded her arms and looked at August again, "If he comes back, let him know I can destroy his curse. Go to Fairy Tail if you manage to find him. I'll check Tenrou every month."
August smiled and closed his eyes, "Thank you. If I manage to find my King, I'll let you know first."
"Oh stop that.. After I erase his curse, I'll erase Mavis', then you can tell them both you're their kid. God knows you've all had enough suffering already. C'mon guys, we're going home and celebrating the defeat of Oracion Seis or something.." Yin turned on her heel and returned to Yang and Ultear, leaving a confused and shocked August behind her.
He watched as the trio left, silently clenching his fists.
"Mother.. Father.... It'll be over soon."

After they returned, the Guild immediately swarmed the trio and started to summarize the war in their words. Mirajane bragged to Yang about taking out an S rank Dark mage, Erza calmly stated how she helped steer a mage away from their Guild and back onto the right path after Nirvana reversed their morality and finally, Natsu was shouting about how much ass he kicked with Happy.
"Big Sisters? Where were you guys? We could have used the help... Especially with that Midnight one." Wendy sulked, pulling on Yin's coat tails and Yang's waist cape.
"Aaah... I'm sorry Wendy! But you had help from Irene, right?" Yang scooped the small girl in her arms and tried to divert the topic.
"Well.. yes but she said we needed to beat them by ourselves. We barely made it." Wendy admitted, looking over at Carla, who nodded emphatically.
Yin hummed and looked up at Irene, who was seated at the second floor's bar. She looked down and gave the twins a rueful smile before turning away.
To be completely fair to Irene, she would have definitely stepped in if Wendy was about to die. It just so happened that it was a very hard-fought fight due to having only Carla, Lucy and Happy with them while Natsu fought Cobra, a poison Dragonslayer nearby. Midnight had a particularly strong magic that reflected magic, plus his own brand of Dark magic and Enchanting.
For Wendy's team, he was a tricky, powerful opponent. And exactly what she needed to face to grow as a mage. So while she might be feeling a certain type of way after Irene hadn't rescued her, it was for her own good.
"You faced something substantial, Wendy. And you got out of it stronger with your friends. You didn't need us to protect you. You guys absolutely crushed it on your own and I'm proud of you." Yin smirked and pat the top of Wendy's head as the little Dragonslayer stared at her.
"All of you. My little pains in the ass. You're doing well. Just don't let it get to your heads hm?" Yin added, turning to Natsu, Gajeel, Sting and Rogue with a fond smile.
Obviously, all the Dragonslayers threw themselves into Yin and hugged her, knocking over a few mugs and tables in the process. Even the introverted Rogue joined in.

-A month later-
Just when things had fallen into monotony again, Yin felt space change all of a sudden. She had been in bed with Irene and Yang when the shift occured. It was fairly confusing, waking up to see a weird tree house with the Fairy Tail logo was odd enough. But to do so while a naked Yang and Irene slept beside her made her feel strangely exposed.
*Yawn~*
"It's too early for this.."
And just like that, Yin decided to return right back to sleep.
*CRASH!*
"Oh!? Sis! Sunny Sis! Irene.. Why are you naked?" Yin grunted and sat up, looking over at Natsu, Wendy, Carla and Happy who were either staring at them or avoiding staring at them.
"Mmmgh... It's early.." Yang groaned as she hugged Irene's waist tighter and woke the redhead.
"Mmh.. Yang, get up. We have a situation." Irene stated as soon as her eyes took in the environment.
The strange tree house with their Guild mark, the giant mushroom forest they were in and the fact that they were nude in the open, in front of the kids no less.
Of course, Yin and Yang were unbothered, both yawning and stretching lazily as Irene used requip to dress herself. Though the twins got dressed faster once Irene gave them an exasperated look.
"Oh relax.. Natsu doesn't even know what he's seeing." Yin rolled her eyes as she equipped her black kimono, red pleated skirt, black waist cape and fishnet stockings.
"What!? I totally do! You have nipples and muscles! Like me!" Natsu crossed his arms and stiffened his lower lip.
"Pfft! Yeah, we sure do~" Yang laughed as she used her inventory to equip her yellow tanktop, white cropped jacket, black spats and yellow/gold stockings.
"Hmm... now that you mention it, where's your pen-" "MOVING ON!" Irene interrupted Natsu's question and looked at the strange version of their Guild.
Both sisters shared a look of amusement as Irene pulled the attention back on their current situation.
"Hehe.. that only comes out during one-on-one time~" Yang muttered with a lewd grin.
As soon as they stepped inside, they were met with an odd sight. Almost everyone from Fairy Tail was there, yes. But they looked and acted almost completely differently.
"Ahh! Juvia, I love you!" The strange Gray confessed, bundled in about five layers of jackets.
Juvia simply rolled her eyes, "Oh shut up."
There was a skinny, sensitive version of Elfman being roasted by Droy and Jet. Then they noticed a familiar blonde in an open leotard, thigh high boots and a bikini top that covered her sizable breasts under the leotard.
"Who the hell are you guys, barging in like this!?" Lucy pointed at them, eyes narrowed until she spotted an alarmed Natsu.
"Natsu!?" "Lucy!? We found everyone so quickly!" Natsu shouted excitedly before Lucy rushed in and bear hugged him.
'Weirdly enough.. This Lucy is probably more my type than regular Lucy.' Yin noted as Natsu was dragged along by Lucy.
The rest of the Guild members looked at them curiously but not openly hostile, since Natsu was there with them. Yin got a bit distracted, looking at all the weird opposite versions of her Guildmates when she heard a loud shout.
"IT'S THE FAIRY HUNTERS!!!!" One particularly panicked Guild member shouted, immediately springing the Guild into action.
Levy immediately got in the seat of a magic device as they scrambled to shut the doors. The thundering of the earth gave away a large, horned four legged monster with wings and a wide, toothy maw.
"Can't we do a Transfer Square yet, Levy!?" Edo Lucy shouted in frustration.
"Dammit, Lucy! I'm doing it now!" Levy replied aggressively, face covered in a cold sweat.
While everyone including Natsu, Wendy, Carla and Happy were panicking, Yin and Yang glared at the monster through the window like it had personally insulted them.
"Look at that thing's stupid stubby arms.." Yang spat disdainfully.
"Is that supposed to be a fucking Dragon? It looks like a four year old's shitty drawing of one.." Yin muttered.
Irene had to stop the two from immediately going out and jumping it before the Guild warped space and changed locations.
"You two..." Irene sighed, letting them go with an exasperated shake of her head.
"What? An insult like that demands an ass whooping.." Yin replied defensively.
"Not during a spatial transfer..."
Thankfully, things seemed to have settled down. Long enough so that Natsu and Wendy could explain the situation regarding their Fairy Tail. After the explanation, Lucy looked at the Dragoness trio.
"So who are you then? We don't have people who look like you in our Guild, past or present.."
Yang just raised her brow and pointed her thumb at Yin. While Irene was thinking about the alternate version of her daughter.
"Of course we wouldn't be here. Well.. maybe Irene? But not us. We have certain circumstances." Yin gave a vague excuse.
"Well regardless.. Going to the Capital is suicidal. The Kingdom has powerful soldiers with magical tools. And you guys don't have magic." Lucy folded her arms sternly, clearly trying to get them to avoid going.
"We do." Yin stated.
All eyes turned to her, asking a silent question. She shrugged and held her hand up, holding a blue fireball in her palm. Then, she tossed it at Natsu, who leapt up like a hungry dog and ate it, much to the shock and amazement of everyone in the Guild.
"....How..?" Carla was the first to ask, waddling over to her.
"Yang, Irene and I are Dragons. True Dragons. We generate our own magic. In fact, we might be passively raising the magic in the atmosphere by just existing here. Edolas is kinda like Remnant, in that you can't internalize magic here, only use lacrima as a catalyst to activate it." Yin explained.
"Like Dust.. Huh!" Yang nodded in understanding.
Yin nodded, "Honestly, just being near us might awaken all your magics. But that's neither here, nor there. We have a job to do. If you wanna come witness some fireworks, come. If you wanna stay here and wallow, stay." Yin then stood up and started to leave, followed by Yang and Irene.
"Thanks for the info, guys!" Natsu waved and followed after them.
Wendy bowed her head and quickly followed behind with Happy and Carla, leaving the Guild shocked and silent.
