S.R: Well… I decided this chapter was going to be more than I wanted to make it.
Wendy: What do you mean? You said this was going to be more in depth than the anime was.
S.R: Well I was going to make it just the battle in Phantom Lord's building but I can't stop there when I've already accidentally written to the end of the Phantom Lord arc.
Erza: So? Split it up however you want it.
S.R: I can't split it because then I have to search for a good point to separate it all and to me that kinda messes up the flow (my flow usually is loosely based on how I read things).
Natsu: Who cares about making more chapters if you've already got it written down? The more there is the better you know what I'm saying?
S.R: Yeah. That was what I thought when I decided I couldn't split it…. Anyway… Story time!
NATSU'S POV
"Natsu would you please do the honors?" Gramps asked me as we stood outside the Phantom Lord guild hall doors. I nodded to him before taking a deep breath. Raising my left leg I kicked the doors straight off their hinges before announcing "Fairy Tail's come a knocking!" The second I finished speaking the others rushed past me and started to unleash hell upon the Phantom Lord mages. I just jumped into the fray flailing my arms at anybody dumb enough to confront me. After a few minutes I was back to back with Gray. "Hey Natsu, how about we make a little bet? The better mage takes more of these chumps out before resorting to magic?" Gray called over his shoulder to me. "I'll bet on that ice prick!" I replied before performing a leg sweep that started a domino effect, taking seven of them out in the process. I then came back up with an upper cut into one guy sending him flying on top of two others. "I'm at 10 already frost queen!" I informed Gray before side stepping a charging guy as I tripped him.
Finally after Gray and I alone had wiped out a quarter of the Phantom Lord people Gramps told everyone to stay down here while he dealt with Jose. I sniffed the air and the only person on the upper floors was the wind mage Aria. "Erza go warn gramps about Aria being up there. Jose probably set a trap!" I cried out to my girlfriend before an iron log slammed into my jaw. "So this is the "Legendary Salamander" I've been hearing about. You don't look so tough." My new opponent spat at me. "Well, look who it is. The chicken shit that attacked the guild hall when no one was around." I teased before catching the second iron log he shot at me. I heard whispers from others around me that were shocked I caught his attack one handed without a problem. "Not bad, ya cocky little shit." He said before attempting to pull his arm back.
I smirked at him before twisting my arm and throwing him into a wall. "Well looks like Salamander does have a bite of a bite. But allow me Gajeel Redfox the Iron Dragon Slayer to put you in your place." The man now identified as Gajeel said before jumping at me with a punch. I dodged it only to find out it was a feint and took a kick to the side as a reward. I slide a few feet away before I stopped moving from the force. I gave him my most arrogant smile I could before using my speed to disappear from sight for a few seconds. I wasted no time in attacking Gajeel from behind with a series of punches each one becoming stronger and stronger as I pumped a little bit of magic into my hands. He quickly managed to spin and after a few hits was able to block a few. I continued punching and occasionally added a kick. That is until he caught my leg and threw me into the way of one of Gray's attacks. "Sorry bro." Gray said as I shook some dirt off of my shoulders. "No problem man." I told him before dodging Gajeel's punch. I turned to Gajeel, dropped my shoulder and charged the son of a bitch. He groaned a little from the hit but I managed to shove him into a wall.
MEANWHILE WITH ERZA
After Hearing Natsu warn me that renowned wind mage Aria was upstairs I practically flew to catch up with master to inform him of the truth. But by the time I found him it was almost too late. I saw master Makarov talking to an image of Jose and Aria was creeping up behind him to cast one of his many dangerous spells. Without thinking I re-equipped into my flight armor and slammed the flat of the blade in my right hand on his head while my left had smashed the hilt of my second sword into side in an attempt to make him double over. The attempt was successful so I continued my assault by punching Aria in the face before using the force of my swing to shove him out of a window.
By this point master Makarov was done talking to the fake Jose and noticed my presence. "Erza what are you doing up here?" I informed him of what Natsu told me and the rather one-sided fight I just had with Aria. He just laughed and told me he was glad to have strong wizards like Natsu and I looking out for him. I smiled and said everyone in Fairy Tail does. He agreed and together we left the upstairs area of the building to rejoin our guild mates. By the time we found them the only Phantom Lord member still standing was Gajeel and he was losing to Natsu. "Alright everyone we're done here. Let's fall back and go home!" Master Makarov called out before noticing that Natsu was ignoring the order. "Don't worry about them. They quickly escalated it from a fight between guilds to a fight between dragon slayers. Now they've agreed the winner is the stronger and better dragon slayer. Not to mention Gajeel apologized for everything he did. He said that he was just following his orders, but that he was sorry to do it and that if it was okay with you and Natsu, he would join Fairy Tail if he lost. Natsu's already agreed to it as Gajeel isn't a bad guy he was just doing what he had to, to make money" was Gray's explaination. Master Makarov agreed as well and told Natsu we'd be waiting for them back at the guild.
NATSU'S POV
"Well, sounds like gramps has given the okay to… if that's the case I'm going to end this with one final attack" I informed Gajeel as we shoved each other back. Gajeel laughed as he said that he'd be the one to end it. I smirked and waited for him to make his move. "Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Karma Demon: Iron God Sword" he cried as he raised his arms above his head. I jumped sideways as he brought his arms down as I did I cried out "Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade" I yelled as I swiped my arms for my attack, which actually connected unlike Gajeel's. He collapsed having spent most of his energy. I still, having a little bit more was still standing however. We both started laughing as we realized how much fun we had. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a little orb that looked like it had flames trapped inside, and dropped it. Once it hit the floor and shattered flames flew out of it. I wasted no time in sucking them all up and received the instant boost I needed. "Well Gajeel, I won. A deals a deal, but seeing as how you're still down I supposed I can help you out" I said as I picked him up and left the Phantom Lord building. An hour later I was supporting Gajeel as we walked into the guild smiling like we won the lottery.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail Gajeel, where do you want your guild mark and what color?" Mira asked after gramps announced that I convinced Gajeel to join us if I won. Gajeel asked for a black mark for the upper part of his left arm. I slapped him on the back in welcome before joining Erza at our normal table. "I think I'll give you a reward when we get home" she whispered to me when I sat down. "But first, we celebrate a new member with the rest of the guild." I replied before joining Cana and Macao's beer chugging competition. We laughed and celebrated with the guild until Erza practically dragged me out of the guild to go home. As we left I heard Gajeel ask why I let Erza do that. I smirked when I heard his gasp at being told that Erza and I were together. I then went home with Erza. This time Erza started our make out session and she didn't even wait for me to get through the door. But as normal for us things quickly got hot and out of control.
THE NEXT DAY
Erza and I walked into the guild hall to see everyone fully recharged from yesterday's battle; even Gajeel was at 100% again. "Hey master I've been wondering did Lucy take a mission or something? I haven't seen her in a few days." Gray asked, and looking around I noticed she wasn't there and started to wonder the same thing. But before gramps could respond we heard Jose the master of Phantom Lord on a loud speaker mention that he had kidnapped Lucy. For her safe return we had to stay in the guild hall and let him destroy us with his guilds weapon which was called the Jupiter Cannon. Needless to say we all charged out of the guild hall only to see a giant white beam of energy coming our way. Before we could react however it was being blocked by an extremely strong barrier. "Hello master" was all we heard before the cannon was destroyed by a familiar spell to all of us S Class wizards. "What the hell just happened?" Gray and Gajeel asked in unison. Erza explained that it was Mystogan who is another S class mage from Fairy Tail and that only the S class wizards had seen any of his spells other than his sleep spell until now. "Natsu, Erza, Gray, Gajeel! You four are coming with me!" Gramps called out as he used his titian magic to become super-sized. We just followed him into Phantom Lord's robotic guild hall.
Upon entering he immediately ordered us to take down Phantoms four strongest mages the Element Four. He told us to leave Jose to him and just left. Gajeel said he'd lead Gray to Juvia the water mage of the Element four and that he'd find Sol the earth mage. I said I'd take Erza to the wind mage Aria and that I'd take on the fire mage, who Gajeel identified as Totomaru. We all agreed that those would be the best match ups and took off to find our respective targets. "Erza, Aria is in that room right there and is probably expecting an attack. Be careful." I told Erza as we stopped so that I could give her a quick kiss before taking off to find Totomaru. Erza entered the room and I almost instantly heard the sounds of battle. I smiled before taking off again. After a few minutes I entered the room where my own battle would take place. "If this is all Fairy Tail has to offer me to fight I'm sorely disappointed. But allow me to introduce myself. I am Totomaru and I will destroy you." Totomaru said as he looked at me. We both instinctively attacked each other thinking to get a quick win.
I dodged his katana as I threw a right hook at him which he also dodged. "Not bad. Maybe this will be fun after all." He stated before charging me once more. I dodged and attempted to hit him with my Fire Dragon's Iron Fist only for him to dodge as well. "You've got some impressive skills, but let's see if they can keep up. Fire Drive!" I called as my whole body became fire. He laughed and attacked me with his Rainbow Fire spell. I just ate it and using my enhanced speed covered the distance between us before he could blink. I slammed my fist into his face and sent him flying into the wall. He came out of the wall coughing and cursing. "H-how could you do that? My attack was supposed to be a diversion. How were you able to ignore my pyrokinesis?" He managed after taking a deep breath. "Only a dragon or dragon slayer can control their flames… Now I know you're not that bad of a guy so I'll offer you the chance to surrender. If you don't take it I'll," I threatened only to be cut off with "You'll what? We both know you won't kill me… So what will you do?"
I smiled deviously as I silently cast my Earth Dragon's Imprisoning Barrier on him. I slowly made it smaller and more air tight sensing him panic. I used my senses to watch him until he passed out inside my spell. Once he did I dispelled it and walked away. I followed my nose to Erza, finding her slightly beaten and bruised but otherwise fine. We then started looking for Gray and Gajeel, who had linked back up and met us, right back where we started. "Well that was fun while it lasted but is anyone else wondering what the others were doing while we were in her?" Gray asked as we prepared to leave the giant robotic guild hall that we were in. Gajeel told him that Jose could create an army of shades, and that most likely the others were fending his shades off to defend the guild hall. Erza then told us to kick it into overdrive so that we could go aid our friends while master dealt with Jose. We then promptly shut up as Gray made an ice slide for us to take to rejoin our guild mates.
We were about half way down when we noticed a bright light and a warm feeling generating from it. Erza smiled when she realized what it was. "Natsu, Erza do either of you know what's going on?" Gajeel asked in amazement. "It's one of the three great spells of our guild. Fairy Law, the spell that heals allies, and severely damages any who the user sees as a threat. Of all the spells the first master of Fairy Tail used this is the second strongest, but her most known spell." Erza explained. I was disappointed when we joined the others in front of the guild though. "Dammit I wanted to fight some more. Totomaru was a pushover!" I yelled as I kicked up some dust. Or at least I tried to, but was stopped by a giant foot crushing me. "Oh sorry Natsu I didn't mean to step on you." Gramps said as he shrank back to his normal size before helping me up. I laughed before becoming serious as I leaned over and whispered that now was the time and asked for him to hand me the item I gave him for safe keeping. He nodded as he handed me the small box I gave him when I first joined the guild. "I don't know what is in that box, but I'm guessing it is something Igneel gave you and told you to use when the time was right." Gramps said as he patted me on the shoulder. I nodded, before walking up to Erza. "Erza I," started as I fell to one knee before continuing "I know we haven't really been together in the sense of dating for long but we've known each other most of our lives, and I know I love you. Inside this box is something Igneel gave me saying that is not for me but the one I decide to spend the rest of my life with… I've decided that someone is you, so Erza would you marry me?" I opened the box and saw Erza's eyes tear up as her hands covered her mouth. It looked like she didn't trust herself to speak as she wrapped her arms around me and nodded her head so fast she could've been a bobble head. I took the ring that was in it and placed it on her finger, as I did so she recovered enough to say yes. However she said it so loud and so many times that I was afraid of going deaf by the time she was done.
S.R: Yup I ended it there. Deal with it.
Wendy: This chapter is longer than all the other chapters in this story. Is it the longest you've written?
Natsu: No the longest chapter he wrote was for his other good story Love, Life, and Family which he still hasn't posted an epilogue to. *stars at Sir. rather pointedly*
S.R: Yeah, yeah I know Natsu I haven't posted that yet. Reason being I typed it up at school and saved it on a flash drive, which I can not find. I'm tempted to re-write it but I really liked the version that was on the flash drive and I can't remember all of it which means it will suck compared to the flash drive copy and I don't want the epilogue to suck. In other words it will be a while before I post that. Besides I'm working on this story now.
Wendy: Well before Natsu and Sir. start fighting I'll just say read, review, and share this story with your friends. Until next time BYE!
