Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy and Charle haven't been on a mission for ages so they decided to pick one out from the mission's board just for some fun. It's all been so serious lately with all these dark guilds around. Natsu started to look intently at the board, then without hesitation he ripped a piece of paper off the board and slammed it on a table. "Here we go let's do this one." Lucy looked at it with a curious nature. "A minor group of dark mages attacking towns, this doesn't even sound like they're a part of a guild. It's like they go on random rampages with no purpose." Gray, Erza and Wendy leant in to look at the mission themselves, while Happy and Charle flew above them looking at it. There expressions changed completely, confused about the situation. Then Charle said "We have no idea where these people might be, it might be better if we chose something else they don't even leave a trail they just attack cities without any guilds." Charle had a point but Natsu couldn't stand it when he realised something.
"All the towns there are leading to Magnolia."
"But why would they go to Magnolia, Fairy Tail is here."
"Not many people know where Fairy Tail –"
There was a huge explosion further down in the city, causing everything to shake in Fairy Tail. Natsu ran for it into the town with Happy and Lucy following him.
"Come on Happy!"
"Aye!"
When they got there, magic circles were shining everywhere, buildings turning into rubble and dust. You could see the rage in Natsu's eyes, and then to make things worse they blew up Lucy's apartment and everyone knew she was going to change her reaction completely. She pulled out her celestrial spirit whip and pulled off Loke's key then summoned him in a hurry. Anger was burning in her eyes, no one has ever seen her so mad, Natsu joined her in this fight with all the civilians shocked, and scared behind them. Everything that Lucy owned was in that apartment, her novel in progress, and her letters to her mum everything precious to her. All she had left was Fairy Tail, and her spirits they weren't going to destroy them too.
Natsu, Lucy and Loke fought all out on these guy's they weren't going to escape without having a scratch on them. There were six of them these dark mages were going to pay. Before one even got to cast a spell again he was restricted by Lucy's whip. She yanked the whip as hard as she could, causing him to fall down to the ground as he gave out a yelp. Then he was knocked out instantly. Loke ran into the fight after making sure Lucy could fight on her own, which he obviously noticed. Natsu was fighting their leader, and then the man chuckled right before Natsu.
"You can't beat me, just for a laugh let's hear what guild you are from!"
"I'm from FAIRY TAIL!"
The man was absolutely shocked as Natsu ran at him using his fire as boosters, that were blazing at the bottom of his feet, and punching him squarely in the face with Iron Dragon Fist. The man went flying across the street, his face swelled up instantaneously. His face was all burnt and bruised the man couldn't believe it. "Are you the Salamander?" he said in a scared, shaky voice unable to comprehend what was happening. He'd never lost against smaller town's but he realised it was a bad move to come here.
Natsu walked away realising his job was done if the leader falls so does his comrades. Natsu needed to help out Lucy and Loke, leaving the man there, leaving him in his lost thoughts. That very man crawled away attempting to get in contact with his guild leader. As he scrambled behind a half broken building trying to catch his breath, he was breathing heavily from the lack of air he was receiving from his swollen face blocking his airways. His face already turned into a purple and red bruise from Natsu's deadly, fearsome punch that happened in a blink of an eye. Just thinking about that punch made his face hurt, he raised his hand to his face feeling the tight, smooth lump. Even though every single touch of his skin on his face burnt with pain, he just had to feel his face.
After realising he had to hurry before anything happened to him, he placed his palm out in front of his face with the back of his hand facing him; an illuminated, dark purple, magic circle appeared in front of him. A wave of invisible water was created right in front of his eyes; he changed the position of his hands to the sides of the floating, invisible water. That exact same magic circle appeared where his hands were, illuminating even more fearsome than before. Then the water became visible and revealed a face of an old man, he had long, shiny, grey hair with dark brown eyes. Then the leader of the dark mages whispered in an almost confident voice, his voice changed completely to what it did before.
"We have a problem, Morgal. Fairy Tail is defeating us even we can't stop them and we've defeated every town before us, we have to do something before they discover Grimm Shadow. Our guild may fall if we don't act, like the other dark guild's before us."
"Okay, come back immediately if possible, we can't have the chance of the Magic Council being involved. If you don't come back, there will be war on Fairy Tail. There will be no survivors!"
Then out of nowhere a dark shadow was walking towards him, it was Gajeel. "Someone did a number on you!" He then knocked him out single handed, and then dragged him across the earth, causing his spell to fail and collapse into the ground, with Morgal filling with rage ready to plan for war.
