I'm back after some time with a new chapter to this story. Last chapter I felt I didn't do that good of a job with the chapter but after reading your reviews I felt better about what I wrote and just made my day.
I've also been rewatching the Fairy Tail anime so I can get a better idea of how to write the FT cast pre-timeskip and I'd say I'll leave that to you guys to decide if I'm doing a good job with them as the story goes on. I'll try my best to write them as close to character as possible but we'll just have to wait and see.
Let me make this clear so I'm not getting bugged about it as I have been since I started the story. Ichigo, Grimmjow, and Nelliel their level of power is on a whole other level than the Fairy Tail cast at this point in the story. If you want to know where I personally think they fall at this point I'd say their post Soul Society-early Arrancar levels of power. The guild can definitely take on a Gillian class hollow and below but they'd struggle defeating an Adjuchas level hollow on their own. Now if you don't agree to this I'm happy to listen to your reasons on why but this is where I place them personally, for the time being.

Chapter 7 A Dragon's Vow
Grimmjow started to smile as he watched his pink haired opponent floating in front of him via the help of something holding him from behind. 'To be able to find me without sensing me is pretty impressive. these mages might actually prove interesting.' The blue haired Arrancar thought to himself as he sensed his opponent's power raise.
"I smell like death huh?" Grimmjow asked still holding his smile, he jumped from the rooftop to the ground below. Everyone that had come outside from the guildhall stayed a fair distance away from him.
"You reek of it." Natsu answered as Happy flew to the ground gently putting Natsu on ground still facing Grimmjow. The blue feline moved from behind Natsu's back and into the view of Grimmjow which left the man confused about the winged cat. He gave a questioning look to Ichigo, who shrugged his shoulders from the sidelines.
Erza caught the small exchange between the two. "Are you with him?" The redhead beauty said as she willed a sword into existence, holding the blade up to Ichigo's neck.
But before Ichigo could answer Natsu shot forward with his right arm pulled back. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" Natsu yelled out as his arm lit ablaze as he went to hit Grimmjow head on.
Grimmjow brought up his left arm catching the flaming fist in his hand. He could feel the force of the punch in his hand, along with the heat but wasn't bothered by either. "If that was any stronger you could've probably had burned through my hierro." Grimmjow said as Natsu took a step back to see Grimmjow's uninjured hand.
Everyone in the crowd was left speechless at what they witnessed. "Now let me show you how to throw a real punch." Grimmjow said as he cocked his left arm back as an almost feral smile was appearing on his face.
Natsu brought up his arms to block the punch with his forearms but once the fist connected he was launched off his feet and into the crowd. Erza jumped over Natsu with her sword at the ready. Grimmjow caught the blade in the air, then pulled her closer.
"This sword looks pretty sharp but too bad it can't actually cut me." Grimmjow said crushing the blade in his hand then proceeded to knee her in the stomach.
Erza caught his knee with her hand than summoned another sword. Before she could slash at him, he grabbed her arm. Grimmjow saw flames coming from his Natsu rushing at him from his right side than slammed Erza into Natsu when he got into range.
"Don't tell me that this is all you mages can offer." Grimmjow said as his smile was started to turn into a frown. Then he felt cold air above him, looking up he saw an ice hammer.
"Ice Make: Hammer" Gray yelled out as he dropped the hammer on top of Grimmjow who broke it with a single punch. He turned his sights to the black haired mage who was currently shirtless. As he was about to start walking towards him Erza appeared from behind with a giant two handed battle ax. She swung downwards but was blocked by his forearm.
"I told you, you're not gonna cut me." The Arrancar said looking back as the ax didn't manage to cut through his skin.
"Fire Dragon's Claw" Natsu said as he kicked Grimmjow in the left side of his face actually managing to move his head. The pink haired pyro didn't stop there as he coated his arm in flames than punched Grimmjow square in the gut with enough force that it pushed him back a bit.
"I actually felt that one that time." Grimmjow said as he looked at Natsu in the face. Natsu's face had pure anger on it as he stared at Grimmjow. Before he could make a move, Grimmjow felt his feet were frozen to the ground. Grimmjow looked up at Gray once more.
Gray had his right hand in the shape of fist laying on the open palm of his left hand. "Ice Make: Lance" Gray said as he pulls his arms back than extended his arms forwards as several curved ice lances shot out from his palms towards.
The lances hit dead on but broke on impact as soon as they hit Grimmjow. Grimmjow broke his feet out of the ice holding him in place but Erza came at him with two swords slashing at him. "Are you really gonna keep trying the same trick as before." Grimmjow said as he avoided each sword slash from Erza.
"I see you have a bone fragment attached to your face and your magic signature feels twisted and dark. What are you?" Erza asked him in between the swords slashes. "Along with all that you have a sword but you haven't even tried to reach for it since this fight started." Erza said as she was still attempting to cut him.
"I don't see a reason to bring my zanpakuto out on weaklings." The Arrancar said as he slipped past the blades "And as for was I am, I'll tell you if you manage to live through this fight." Grimmjow said as he punched the redhead in the chest with enough force to send her flying and shatter her breastplate in the process. Grimmjow could hear collective gasps from the crowd once Erza hit the ground
Erza stood up to reveal a white blouse underneath the breastplate. Erza's body was briefly covered by a glowing light before revealing her in a different set of armor than before.
Erza was now wearing a set of sliver armor that sported tiara with prominent metal wings, a neck guard with metal feathers in the center. A breastplate that extended to her hips but revealed the top of her breast along with her stomach, there was large flower positioned on the center of the breastplate. She had gauntlets that sported feather like pieces on the ends of it, she had feather like shoulder guards as well.
Around her waist was decorated with large metal plates in the shape of feathers that rested on top of a long skirt, underneath she wore plated boots decorated with ornaments shaped like wings. On her back were two sets of large metal wings. "Requip: Heaven's Wheel" Erza said as she summoned two one handed swords with feather shaped handguards.
'Her level power seemed to increase when she changed into that armor.' Grimmjow thought to himself as Erza launched herself at Grimmjow at a faster speed than before. She brought down one of the blades on Grimmjow who brought up his hand to block the attack.
As the sword made contact with his hand he wasn't expecting for it pierce through his iron skin and drawing blood. This both surprised and excited Grimmjow as he started to smile again. He jumped back only to jump in the way of Natsu and Gray as they were rushing him from both sides.
"Ice Make: Sword" "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" Each said respectfully as they neared the blue haired Arrancar. Grimmjow blocked the sword with the back of his arm while catching the flaming fist in hand. He noticed that the ice sword managed to cut through his skin, while the managed to burn his hand.
'The power in their attacks has increased from what it at the start, interesting.' Grimmjow thought to himself before throwing Natsu into Gray. "Now this is starting to get interesting. You've actually managed to get through my Hierro. I guess you can handle fighting at the level of a Gillian, let's bring to Adjuchas than." Grimmjow said as he released his power.
Before Natsu, Gray, or Erza could question what Grimmjow was talking about they felt like they got hit by house as they got hit with tremendous pressure. They were staggering a before looking at the source of the pressure. Grimmjow was glowing blue as the pressure was being increased.
"What kind of magic is this?!" Gray asked as he was being forced to his knees. Natsu was on one of his knees and kept glaring at Grimmjow.
"Is gravity magic?" Erza questioned as she fell to one knee and was supporting herself with her swords, she looked around to see everyone in the crowd being brought to the floor but Ichigo who was standing perfectly fine.
"Magic? No this is just my spiritual pressure. You're much stronger than I thought you were but now let's see how you handle this level of power." Grimmjow said as his had a feral smile on his face.
"GRIMMJOW SEAL YOUR SPIRITUAL PRESSURE, YOU'RE GONNA KILL EVERYONE IN TOWN IF YOU DON'T!" Ichigo yelled from the sidelines as he saw the other spectators on the floor struggling to breath.
Grimmjow clicked his tongue before he sealed his spiritual pressure relieving everyone of the immense pressure. As soon as the pressure let up he shot towards Erza grabbing her by her neck before she could react.
As he was about to punch Erza in the face she summoned another sword similar to the ones in her hands above her head and somehow willed it to fly toward Grimmjow's head. He dodged it at the last second but didn't notice the second blade that appeared under him shooting upwards forcing him to release Erza otherwise get a sword through the jaw.
Grimmjow looked at Erza with a smile as a small cut appeared on his cheek but no blood came out of it. "You still managed to nick me by catching me off guard." He said as he jumped over Gray's ice sword aimed at his back. "Nice try snowflake but you're not sneaky enough." He said as he kicked Gray square in the face sending him flying a far distance away.
"Hey you bastard!" Natsu said as he started walking towards Grimmjow with his whole body covered in flames. "You're really starting to piss off." Natsu said as he stared down Grimmjow.
"Are you gonna do something about it?." Grimmjow asked as brought his hand up urging Natsu to come at him. Natsu shot himself at Grimmjow at faster speed than Grimmjow was expecting.
"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn" Natsu said as he headbutted Grimmjow square in the gut with enough force to make him skid across the ground a couple of feet. Grimmjow's smile widened as he grabbed Natsu by the back of the head than kneed him in the chest. Natsu was lifted off the ground but quickly recovered.
"I'm not done yet." Natsu said as he started throwing punches at Grimmjow was easily dodging them. For every couple punches Natsu threw at Grimmjow would counter with a punch of his own to the face of stomach.
"You're pretty resilient you know that?" Grimmjow told Natsu as dodged a few more punches before grabbing Natsu's head and slamming it into the ground with enough force to break the ground making a small crater around his head.
Grimmjow quickly turned around and grabbed both of Erza's swords. "Don't think I forgot about you." Grimmjow said as he crushed both blades drawing blood from his hands. Erza jumped back into the flying thanks to her armor. "So that armor allows you to fly?" Grimmjow asked as he could feel Erza's power start increasing.
Erza summoned several more swords around her body and they started to circle around her. "Dance, my swords." Erza said as the circle of swords started to circle around even faster than before she directed them at Grimmjow. "Circle Sword" Erza said as the swords flew at Grimmjow at high speeds in a disk formation.
As the attack started to approach Grimmjow he grabbed the hilt of his sword and sliced upwards the moment the attack was within range, destroying the attack along with the swords in the process.
Before anybody else do anything they were all hit a tremendous amount of pressure, more so than what Grimmjow released earlier. Grimmjow turned around knowing full well where it was coming from.
Nelliel walked onto the scene gaining everyone's attention before sealing her spiritual pressure. "That's enough Grimmjow you can stop fight now. I think I got all the information I needed." Nelliel said as she looked around, Natsu got up rubbing his head from the impact as he was getting up.
"What's going on here? Who are you?" Gray asked as he was standing fine but was rubbing his nose to make sure it wasn't broken.
"An explanation would be very much appreciated." Erza said as she changed back into the armor she had on earlier but the breastplate wasn't broken on this one.
"Allow me to explain everything inside but for now just know that there'll be no more fighting from here on out." Nelliel said as she gestured towards the door to the guildhall. Erza opened the door to the guildhall allowing Nelliel to walk on in, the redhead kept her eyes on the slightly taller green haired beauty as she passed by.
Soon after everyone else started to walk in behind them mumbling and talking about the fight. Ichigo, Grimmjow, Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy were the last ones outside. Ichigo walked up to Grimmjow with his scowl in place. "You couldn't just turn down the fight could you?" Ichigo asked him as Grimmjow's smile was still in place.
"It's not my fault that you weren't able to control the situation inside." Grimmjow said in a mocking tone. "And besides it was hot head over there that provoked me in the first place." Grimmjow said as he looked over at Natsu who was covered in bruises but nothing fatal or life endangering, he was the worse for wear compared to Erza and Gray.
Natsu walked up to Grimmjow with a scowl looking up at the taller man. "I only attacked you because you smell of death. I'm not gonna let anyone or anything come to the guild and harm anyone inside. this guild is my family and I'll burn anything to ashes if my family is threatened in anyway." Natsu said still holding eye contact with the blue haired man.
"Is that a threat? If you think you can beat in fight I got news for you pal, I was no where near serious in that fight. I could've killed you dozens of times over in that little fight at any point, I just didn't cause if I wasn't for Nelliel in there and her back-up plan I would've ended you right here." Grimmjow said as leaned in towards Natsu and said said every word with an aura of maliciousness.
"I'll grow stronger in order to stop you if you ever harm a hair on anyone in there. That's not a threat that's a promise, I'll burn you to a crisp if you cross the line." Natsu said as he crossed his arms with a look of determination in his eyes.
Grimmjow's smile widen even more before he straighten himself, "I look forward to it." Grimmjow said before he started to walk away into the guildhall with his hands in his pockets.
Ichigo let out a deep sigh 'What kind of trouble are you getting yourself into Grimmjow?' Ichigo thought to himself before he, along with the remaining members, walked behind him.
AN: That's the chapter, I know not much dialogue and that's what I was trying to do. I was aiming for more action in this chapter so I didn't focus on the dialogue. I felt like I did pretty alright in this chapter, it was enough to progress the story forward will also being a little entertaining.
I tried to balance it Natsu, Gray, and Erza as much as possible in this fight but it's been years since I've written a group fight so I don't think it was as well balanced as it could've been but oh well. I know I didn't get much of their personalities to show in this fight, I'm probably gonna get a few people asking me why Natsu was OoC, I tried to give some reason in the ending but I doubt that'll satisfy most of you.
Also the powerscaling I brought up at the beginning, I'll be stick to that for a bit, it'll change later on but at the moment that's where I place early Fairy Tail to Bleach.
That should be all, Maniac out.
