Chapter 3: They Meet Again.

*The Next Day* Campsite

Arthur was still resting in his camp, while Natsu had woke up earlier than usual. When he woke up, Natsu walked over to the supply bags, and noticed they ran out of food. Natsu seeing no more food supply; grabbed a fishing rod near the supply bags and walked away from the campsite. He continued to walk until he saw a river that was near them. He sat down on the luscious green grass and began fishing for food. When he was fishing, his thoughts brought back his earlier years. His lips slightly curve down when he began to think, 'Igneel, I promise that I'll find you one day. Just wait for me; I know you're still here. And I promise you, I'll beat Acnologia with my own strength when I find him. I won't disappoint you.'

After 30 minute of fishing, Natsu manage to catch six large fish, enough to feed them for today. Natsu walked back to camp. When he got back to camp, he notice Alfred had return to camp with a new cloak for him. It was pretty much the same one as his hold one. "I see that you are back, I caught some fishes for us. I'll prepare the food. You guys should rest for a bit, after we finish eating, we are going to head out."

The two nodded and prep themselves, by packing up the supplies, while Natsu put on his new cloak, and preparing the food.

Fairy Tail Guild

Gray, Lucy and Happy were sitting in the guild, while Erza was seen talking to white haired bartender about someone.

"Is he back yet, Mira?" She questioned.

"No, he hadn't come back from his last mission. Usually those type of mission takes couple days. I wonder what happen to him." Mirajane answered. "He should be back soon though, I hope." She continued.

"So, how do you like the guild so far, Lucy?" Happy said while nibbling a raw fish, that Mirajane had got him.

"I like it so far..." However, when Lucy answered, Gray notice that she was worrying about something.

"What's wrong Lucy?" Gray questioned.

"Oh, nothing's wrong, but I feel like everyone has a strong bond here and knows each other. But I feel left out and I don't know anyone." She smiled weakly.

"Oh! We can fix that!" A blue hair girl came behind Lucy and greeted her. "My name is Levy, and those two are Jet and Droy. We three formed a team called 'Team Shadow Gear'."

"Nice to meet you Levy, my name is Lucy!" Lucy answered with a happy smile.

As Levy introduced everyone to Lucy, Lucy felt like she belonged to a family. She never felt this warm atmosphere before. Levy and Lucy got along well, and after she had finished introducing everyone to her, Levy revealed that she had read Lucy's book that she had written, and enjoyed. The two continued their conversation.

Erza noticed that Levy had brighten up Lucy's mood and smiled. She walked back to the table they had sat earlier with a strawberry cake that she had got from Mirajane. Gray decided to talk before Erza could.

"So, he's not back yet?"

"No, he's been gone for a while, hopefully he's fine." She began eating her cake.

"You don't need to worry about that guy, he's tough." Gray stated.

"I guess you're right" Erza continued stuffing her mouth with cake.

*Next Day* Lucy's Apartment

Lucy was sleeping happily in her bed. She rolled over her bed and threw her hand across the bed. When she did, she felt something fuzzy. She thought it was just her blanket and dismissed the thought of it. But for some reason, the fuzzy texture she had felt, was not near her hand anymore, but now was on top of her head. She decided to open her eyes and see what was going on. When opened her eyes, she noticed something blue on top of her head, with tails… and curled into a ball.

Lucy eyes twitched… when she noticed the cat, she was thinking what the hell he was doing here. She was about to ask, when something was moving beside her bed. She looked at the floor and noticed a man with black hair lying on the ground. A vein popped on her forehead.

"WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE!" Lucy screamed. Her screamed woke everyone up.

Gray got up shirtless. He was known to strip randomly and lose his clothes. Lucy ignored the fact he was shirtless and continued to give Gray a death glare. Gray ended up answering while searching for his shirt after noticing Lucy glare and mistaking it was for him not wearing his shirt. 'Gah I did it again', Gray stated, "Erza and I decided to take you to the guild, when you are awake. So we both stayed at your house for the night." Gray stated plainly.

"WHAT! You guys could have stayed at your own house, and come ov-" Lucy stopped when she noticed something. Her bathroom water was running. "What you mean we? Erza here too?" She asked.

"Yeah, however I don't where she went."

Lucy just sighed, and decided to get out of bed, and prepare herself for the day. She would just ignore and forget whatever had happen today. She wasn't in the mood for their antics, because she knew today was a good day. She had met with Levy, and now she was eager to meet up and talk with the blue hair girl again.

The crew prepared their trip back to the guild. Happy was lying on Gray's shoulder while, Lucy was happily humming. However, her humming stop, and the crew's face turn into absolute horror when they notice their guild had been destroyed by iron poles strutting out of the guild..

"What happened?" Erza tone was serious, and her face changed from horrify to a menacing serious face. It frightens anyone who looked at her.

"W-what?" Lucy was lost for words.

A white hair feminine voice approached behind them, absorbing the site. "Phantom…" When the girl spoke, they knew who it was.

The all turned around to look, and noticed it was Mirajane. "What?" Gray asked, although he probably knew the answer already. "Phantom?"

Mirajane gave a soft frown. "I hate to say it… but they got us."

Fairy Tail Basement

After the crew had walked in, they walked towards Fairy Tail's basement. When they had arrived, all of them took a seat at an open table. Lucy noticed that all of them were all shocked and angered by the sight of their beloved guild in shamble. However, recognized that Gray, Happy, Levy, and Elfman, Mirajane's brother were bothered by the incident.

"Master! How can you sit like this and pretend like nothing had happen! They destroyed our guild, we must take revenge."

"Gray's right! A man need's to take revenge! He's not a man if he cowers." Elfman blurted out, and many agreed with the both of them.

"Calm down both of you. It's not something to get riled up about. The guild is just bricks, wood, and iron. We can always rebuild it every time it gets destroyed. What matters is that everyone is safe and no one was harm." Makarov stated while drinking his beer. "And no one is allowed to attack. Is that clear?" He continued, but his tone became more serious. Many people reluctantly agree, while others sighed in frustration. However, there were some who looked at their master to find out more answer from him.

Lucy looked over at Erza, knowing that she had clue on what was happening. "Who did this?" Lucy asked.

Erza gave out a long sigh, before continuing. "Gajeel Redfox… The Iron Dragon Slayer from Phantom Lord Guild."

"But why would they do this? Isn't that illegal for them to engage like that?"

"Phantom Lord and Fairy Tail had always had a grudge with each other. However, Phantom always used dirty tactics, knowing that we won't go against the Council. It's illegal to have a guild war, but those who instigate it, the Council couldn't care less. Master Jose, Phantom Lord Guild master, and Master never got along as well." Erza let out another frustrated sigh.

Lucy was about to speak up until Makarov continued. "You brats think I'm fine that our home is destroyed? You brats need to think about the innocent lives, if we did attack. Innocent people between Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord would be harmed." Makarov finished his drink and left to his office. His speech calmed mostly everyone. There were some who were still quite pissed off.

Erza reluctantly agreed with her master so she decided to speak up as well. "Now listen up all of you… The master said it clear that we will not attack Phantom and we will not discuss this again. I expect all of you to do that… otherwise…" She gave everyone a dark glare with black aura oozing out. Everyone cringed at the look of the great Titania giving them, who was in a foul mood.

Lucy decided to walk home after everything. She didn't know how to take this, and she would probably feel better after a nice hot shower, she thought, so she decided to walk back to her apartment.

As she was walking home to her apartment, she notices Levy, who was with her team, Team Shadow Gear. She walked over to Levy and greeted her. "Hello Levy-chan, how are you doing?"

"I'm well Lucy-chan. Why are you walking by yourself? It's dangerous for you walking by yourself with Phantom lose." Levy stated.

"Eh, I'll be fine Levy-chan, don't worry about me. You should also take care of yourself too." Lucy said softly smiling.

"Don't worry Lucy-chan, I'll be fine! I have Jet and Droy to take care of me. Right guys?" They both nodded and agree at the same time.

Lucy decided to say bye and leave them. She was getting tired and wanted to back home and rest, so both of them parted ways.

As Team Shadow Gear continued their walk, they did not notice someone was following them. The hooded figure followed them from the rooftops. When the team was isolated, the man dropped down and revealed himself. The man took off his hood and revealed himself. The man was actually young, tall, and muscular. He had spiky long black hair. He has red eyes, with no eyebrows. His face had three studs where his eyebrows should be. He had three stud each side of his nose and two on his chin, just below his mouth. His ears have two sets of five earrings each. Levy knew who this man was, and knew they were in trouble. Before they could run for help, the young raven head man had stopped them, while smiling menacingly.

*Next Day*

After Lucy had waked up early in the morning, she got dressed up and walk towards the guild. As she walked toward the guild, she noticed a group of people at Magnolia Park. Her curiosity got her, so she decided to walk over to see what the commotion was. After she walked past the crowd, she instantly regretted it. A sick feeling formed in her stomach, and tears forming in her eyes. "Oh God!" Lucy gasped at the sight before her. "Levy-chan…" She whispered.

At the park, there were three figures hanging on the three in a crucified position. The three figures were Levy, Jet, and Droy. All three of them were assaulted badly, there were blood coming from them, which probably dried overnight. On Levy's abdomen, there was a strange purplish blue symbol. Couple minutes later, every guild member had arrived at the scene. Erza, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Elfman, Macao, and Wakaba were furious and ready to attack the one who did this to their family member.

A short old man arrived through the crowd holding his wooden staff. People recognized who it was; it was the Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov. After seeing the scene, Makarov tightened his grip on his staff and broke it. A golden aura started to appear around, and the atmosphere began to intense. "Destroying our home I could ignore… But seeing my children being harm, I cannot hold back! If Jose wants war, then he gets it! To war!" After Makarov had spoken, the guild member hurriedly tried to get the wounded down. Lucy decided to stay back with the others, and watch over Levy, while the rest followed Makarov.

Phantom Guild Hall

"Hah! Those losers from Fairy Tail don't know what h-" A Phantom Guilder member was blabbering until he was stopped by an explosion impact that knocked him out as he was walking towards the door.

"Who the hell are they?!" A member ask

"To War! Go Fairy Tail!" Makarov commanded.

"REAL MAN DON'T FIGHT DIRTY!" Elfman yelled. He punched a man that was sent flying to across the room. "MEN SHOW MANLINESS THROUGH FIGHTING!" Elfman continued and knocked under man to the roof. Elfman continued his brutal rampage on the guild.

"Tornado Shot!" A young man who had orange hair and blue shades yelled out. He fired a huge tornado that easily knocked away dozen of wizards. The man was known as Loke.

A man who was wearing a brown poncho and pants that was similar to his poncho. He had a belt with a buckle with a skull on it. He had long black hair covering the right part of his face. His eyes were black in color. "Spark Shot!" The man whose name was Alzack aimed his gun towards a set of Phantom Guild members and shot them rapidly. They were electrified and fell unconscious.

Macao and Wakaba was working together. "Purple net!" Macao summons purple fire and ensnaring the guild members, while Wakaba finished them off. "Smoked Crush!" Wakaba created smoke that attacked the ensnared members.

"Ice-Make: Lance!" Gray yelled and sent dozens of ice lances towards the enemy. While Erza had equipped her heavenly wheel armour. With her armour, she summoned tons of blade floating in mid air. "Dance my blade…" With that, she commanded her blade to attack the other guild members.

"Hey! Look at that short old man! We can probably take him on!" The Phantom guild member swarm Master Makarov, but stopped abruptly when he used his magic to become colossal. "Heeee-sss, aaaa moooo-nnn-ssster!" After seeing Makarov grow, they immediately backstopped. Makarov used his colossal hand and swiped many guild members' away. "JOSE! COME OUT HERE!" Makarov yelled as he continued to defeat those who stand in his way, and made his way upstairs where Jose was located.

Before Makarov had left, he turned around and looks at Erza. "Erza! I'm putting you in charge here. I'm going to find Jose up there."

"Take care, Master."

"Gihehe! Now that the threat is gone, I can have some fun." Gajeel stated. After Makarov had left, Gajeel jumped down in front of everyone and the fight stopped abruptly.

Nab out of nowhere jump and tried to hit Gajeel to get revenge for Levi, but was pummel back by changing his arm into a pole and hitting him with it.

"MAN!" Elfman, who used takeover magic, which was magic that allows him to transform his right arm to whatever arm that he had absorbed from. Elfman transformed his right arm to a reptilian beast's arm and tried to punch Gajeel. However Gajeel turned his arm into an iron pole and pushed Elfman back, but Elfman was strong enough to stop Gajeel and entered a deadlock.

"Heh, not bad, how about this." Gajeel's hand that was iron, extended out many more poles and hit guild members, friend or foe. Elfman was distracted by this and was kicked away.

As Elfman was flying back, Erza had reached out, grabbed Elfman, and steadied him. Erza went up in front of Gajeel and challenged him. She had requipped herself into her Black Wing Armour. "Prepare yourself Gajeel!" Erza pointed her sword towards Gajeel.

"Gihe, so I'm going against the great Titania next. This should be fun!"

Erza used her flight ability, and charge straight to Gajeel. She tried to swing her sword at him, but he blocked it, by changing his hand into an iron pole. Gajeel then forced her back with his brute strength over hers. He then extended his pole and tried to hit her, but she dodged it by sidestepping then rushing towards him. She got close to him and roundhouse kicks him back.

On the upper level, Makarov broke Jose's door and enter his office. He came face to face with Jose, who was grinning maliciously. "Jose… you better have said goodbye to everyone that is dear to you. You won't ever see them after I'm done with you, or else surrender now." Makarov narrowed his eyes.

"Are you saying that the number one guild should surrender? Are you becoming senile Makarov?" Jose said with a sadistic smile.

"You chose your fate, now prepare to be diminished!" Makarov enlarged his arm and swung over at Jose. When he managed to hit Jose, he broke the desk, but Jose was still fine.

"Ha, this is only a hologram. I'm not at the guild."

"Show yourself Jose!"

Before Makarov could continue, a man appeared behind Makarov and drained all of Makarov magic. Makarov body was sent down towards the bottom of the guild.

Everyone abruptly stop when they notice something fell down.

Erza turned around who was still dealing with Gajeel. She took a look. "M-Master!" Erza cried in astonishment.

'We need to get Master treated quickly, that's our top priority. But that means we have to retreat...'Erza grimaced at the idea, but they had no choice. "Everyone retreat!"

"WHAT!" Both Elfman and Gray said in unison.

"We have no choice; Master is our top priority for now. Everyone retreat!"

As the guild continued to retreat, Gajeel laughed crudely at them running away. 'Heh, all talk, no we can crush their guild for good. The plan went accordingly.'

Back at Fairy Tail

"What should we do Erza?" Alzack asked

"Alzack and Bisca, hurry and take Master to Poluchka."

"Wait, don't she hates human? We'll probably be kicked out before we can see talk to her" Alzack asked.

Poluchka was Fairy Tail apothecary. She was old, wore a red coat, and had pink hair. She does not like human. She would always chase them out with a broom, when humans try to approach her. However, she and Makarov have been through a lot together.

"She does, but when it's Master, she'll treat him. Please go, Master won't make it in time"

With that the pair nodded and left in a hurry. Bisca was a woman who had green hair and wore cowgirl attire. She had a curve body and had brownish eye color.

Northeast of Fiore

"We're finally here! Man, I was getting boring just walking for two days straight!" Arthur exclaimed with an ecstatic face.

"Calm down, Arthur." Natsu said

"I'm sorry Natsu-sama. I'm just over excited." The redhead pouted

"Whatever the case is, just put on your cloak, we're entering the town now."

"Do I have to…? You know i hate wearing it Natsu-sama." Arthur complained.

Natsu glared at Arthur. Arthur immediately shut up and put on his cloak.

"Alfred said he would meet us at their guild, let's go." Natsu put on his cloak and continued their walk.

Outside Phantom Lord Guild

Natsu and Arthur had jumped on top of the rooftop to go unnoticed. They continued their trip towards the guild. As they arrived near the guild, they noticed Alfred was standing on top of a building examining the guild from above. The two headed over where Alfred was standing.

"So, anything new Alfred?" Natsu asked.

"Yes, apparently, some guild had recently attack Phantom Lord and caused destruction towards the guild, Natsu-sama" Alfred answered him

"Very well, is there any movement from them?"

"No, but I doubt they will sit tight. The other guild had retreated earlier. Phantom Lord will probably attack them soon."

"Hm, do you know who the oth-"

Natsu was cut off when the ground was suddenly shaking violently. The three steady themselves and noticed the guild was shifting. When the guild was finally finished shifting, they noticed that the guild had shifted into a spider like structure. The building now has metal legs, so it can stand. The building then lift one of its metal leg up and then strut it forward and continued with its other legs. The building was walking across the ocean that it was located on.

"Well, we better hurry before they escape." Alfred declared.

"How annoying! And we just got here!" Arthur groans and complained.

Natsu just had an annoyed look on his face. 'Tch, this better be worth it.' With that the three decided to follow the walking building.

Fairy Tail Guild

The guild had returned from their fight two hours ago. Now the members were sitting there resting, while waiting for Erza to command them. However, the scarlet woman was still thinking of a plan to counter attack them. As she continued to pace back and forth, Mirajane was contacting their strongest guild member for help. However, she couldn't contact Mystogan, and Laxus refused to help them. Cana was trying to search for Gildarts, but it was no avail. Everyone was now in deep thoughts about the fight earlier, or else was thinking a way to get revenge for their master.

However, their thoughts were ended when the guild door slammed open. Everyone turned around and looked at the door to see who it was. When they saw the figure at the door, they smiled in relief.

"What happen here? Why is this place a mess? And what happen to the master?" The figure standing at the door started to question.

"Welcome back, we're happy to see you return from your mission, however there is no time for that." Erza said. "Our guild was attacked by Phantom Lord and Master…" She stopped and couldn't continue, as she was still grieving over the master.

"Phantom…" The figure said with a grimace and hatred. "What happen to Master? Tell me!"

"Master was attacked by someone, and lost all his magic." Gray stated.

"What! How could that happen! Our Master is strong!" The figure began to walk closer to the Erza's team. However, he was stopped abruptly when a tremor appear.

"Eaaaaaaaaaa-rth-quaaaaaakkkke!" Someone yelled.

When the tremor had stop for a bit then continued again, Lucy ran inside panting.

Erza was the first to act. "What is it Lucy!?"

"It's a building!... And it's moving… towards us…!" She said in between pants.

"WHAT!" Many guild members said in unison, and stared at her in disbelief.

Suddenly the tremors stopped and it got quiet all of a sudden. People began to murmur and tried to infer what had happen, but they were silenced by Erza shushing them. Everyone looked at Erza, while she was concentrating on listening for something.

"EVERYONE GET DOWN!" She suddenly shouted, in which everyone obeyed and got down. A few seconds later, someone blurted out, "Why are we-" , but was cut off by a loud crash, which was the result of the guilds roof going off by a laser.

"Everyone get outside!" Erza commanded the guild. Everyone obliged. As everyone arrived outside, they were facing the giant moving guild. They knew who were inside that moving machine. And the second phase of the war started, when the Phantom Lord Members started coming out from the contraption.

Soon enough, the fight began to slow down. Fairy Tail was slowly gaining victory over the Phantoms as the Phantom members were being slowly knocked out by Fairy Tail's member. But that came to a stop when a giant cannon came facing them from the contraption.

Everyone looked at the cannon, mouth gaped. Everyone seemed to stuck into chaos and clueless about the contraption. Erza looked at the cannon; stunned for a bit, but quickly regained her composure back as she realized what that was. "EVERYBODY STAND BACK!" Erza commanded them.

"What the hell is that?" The figure from earlier asked?

"That's Jupiter, Phantom Lords Strongest Weapon." Mirajane said

The cannon slowly fill its mouth with magic energy. Erza quickly reacted and changed herself into her Adamantine Armour which gave her the ultimate defense. She quickly clasped both her shield together and stand in front of the cannon. The cannon blasted its magic energy towards Erza, and she held her defense to protect her guild. 'I leave everything to you guys." With that, she fell limply towards the ground.

When Erza had fallen, suddenly purple shades, that appear like soldiers came out from the contraption.

"What the hell are those things?" Loke, who came out of nowhere and punched the purple figured. The purple figure came out in large number. They were easy to destroy, but they had an ability that was troublesome.

"What the hell, my magic is draining!" Someone yelled as a shade past through him

"Don't touch them! They drain magic when you contact them!" Mira stated. Mira then looked over at Erza.

Mirajane hurriedly ran towards Erza and picked her up. Before she left the guild members outside she yelled, "Elfman, Gray, and Sting!"

"What Mira!" Gray yelled fighting off the shade.

"You need to stop Jupiter from firing again! We're leaving the rest to you guys." With that she ran inside with Erza.

"Leaving everything to us! We can handle it from here." Loke and Cana said.

Gray chuckle "Heh, you ready for this blonde?" Gray teased the Sting.

"Always ready" The figure was revealed as Sting.

"MAN! Let's go!" Elfman yelled

"How are we going to get in?" Sting asked.

"Through the cannon's mouth let's go!"

With that all three they prepared to counter attack the contraption.

*30 Minutes later* Near Fairy Tail

Natsu's eyes twitch 'You got to be kidding me… of all the guild they fight, it has to be the one with the annoying blondes.'

The three hooded figure were examining the fight from afar. Alfred turned to look at Natsu, and noticed his eyes twitched in annoyance. Curious, he asked him, "Is something wrong, Natsu-sama?"

"It's nothing…"

"Hey! It's those guys again!" Arthur pointed at Gray

"Those guys?" Alfred questioned him.

"Oh, you weren't there. They attacked us when we were interrogating Bora." Arthur stated. "However, I don't see the scarlet one, she was a strong one, and I wanted a rematch too." He pouted.

"We're not here to fight them Arthur, remember why we are here…" Natsu said, while began walking.

"Sorry Natsu-sama, Alright let's go!" The ecstatic redhead began following.

Alfred followed both them behind, 'Hm… this is going to be interesting for sure.'

With that, three of them headed out towards the broken guild of Phantom Lord.

AN: I hate writing these scenes! I don't like to copy these scenes after seeing so many, so I apologize for skipping the scene with the elemental 4 and Gajeel. However, I'll replace those scenes with my own fighting scene and plots. This chapter is just setting up my future plot. Yes, I put Sting in Fairy Tail… too bad… Well, nothing much to say about this chapter. It probably sucked, however I promise the next chapter should be better. Anyways same old same old. I suck at grammar, so I do hope you can at least still read it and enjoy it. This story is a Shounen-ai, if you don't like it, please leave.
