Luffy continued to emit steam in his Second Gear form as he stared down his enemy, the Phantom Lord Guild. Both guilds were in shock of Luffys "Transformation," his skin slightly pink and shiny.
"Zoro, Sanji." Luffy ordered not turning away from the opposing guild.
"You two, n-" Erza demanded but was cut off by Zoro, "Captains Orders." Zoro and Sanji stepped next to their captain, taking his side.
"I'M COMING WITH YOU GUYS!" Natsu yelled trying to reach the pirates but was stopped cold by Erza grabbing his arm.
"I'm going for the iron bastard, you two keep the others off!" Luffy told his 2nd and 3rd strongest members in his crew.
"So... keep doing what we've been doing?" Zoro asked.
"Pretty much," Sanji answered lighting his cigar.
"Figures, alright blond shit, let's see who can rack more points!" Zoro challenged while pulling out all three of his swords. Erza was confused as to what she should do, should she stay and fight with luffy and his crew or retreat with they master in bad condition.
"Luffy's Crew!" Erza called out to the straw hats, they turned to Erza wondering why they were called out.
"We're going to retreat, you stay behind if you want, we need to bring master back in a good condition, get one for Fairy Tail." Erza said. The screw half smiled and turned back to Phantom Lord.
"Would you look at that, Straw Hat's got a skin disorder, the hell's that going to do?" Mocked Gajeel. Luffy pointed his left hand out and aimed at Gajeel and brought his right arm back.
"What? Did cat bite your tongue? Whatever, I'm ending this!" Gajeel charged at Luffy but Gajeel was propelled several meters back and into a wall.
JET PISTOL
Gajeel got out of the the wall he crashed through noticing bruises in the place he was hit.
"What the hell was that!?" Gajeel questioned while Phantom Lord was in awe. Gajeel looked up to start fighting Luffy but Luffy had vanished with Zoro and Sanji still in their places. Gajeel looked around again before being hit again from the side and launched away again and eventually rolled on the floor. Everyone turned to the direction Gajeel was hit and saw Luffy standing there before vanishing once again. Gajeel got up with blood streaming down his lip.
JET RIFLE
Gajeel was hit again and launched away while spitting blood and was knocked down to the ground with another hit from Luffy. He backflipped away from Gajeel and vanished when he made contact with the ground.
"What the hell... IS HE!?" Gajeel screamed with more blood than before. Gajeel turned again looking for Luffy when he got up and was hit again by Luffy from behind but it didn't have much of an effect this time because Gajeel expected it so he was stopped himself from being launched too far.
"What now!?" Gajeel screamed some more, Luffy reappeared on one of the support before pushing himself off.
JET STAMP
Gajeel was knocked to the ground by a very fast kick similar to Jet Pistol.
JET SPEAR
Luffy stomped on Gajeel in the air shoving Gajeel deeper into the ground. Gajeel pushed himself up in utter pain groaning from the pain before Luffy grabbed his long hair and retracted his arm and crashed into Gajeel.
JET MISSILE
Gajeel pushed himself up once more with his face covered in blood and his body in pain, he looked around and saw luffy nowhere to be seen again. Gajeel turned around looking for Luffy before being struck in the face yet again pushing him back but Gajeel didn't fall down.
"Deja vu." Luffy muttered under his breathe.
"No way! Gajeel's getting his ass handed to him!" One of the phantom lord members shouted out.
"Shut the fuck up!" Gajeel shouted back at the member, "Just what the fuck is this, straw hat?!"
"I'll answer that, once you answer a question of mine." Luffy said.
"What?!" Gajeel asked angrily.
"Why the hell did you attack us?" Luffy asked back. Gajeel started to chuckle causing Luffy to raise his eyebrow.
"Bait." Gajeel replied crossing his arms and smirking.
"Bait?" Sanji wondered to himself, "The hell does he mean by "bait"?"
"We aren't fish!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Oh but you idiots are, you fell for our bait like fish." Gajeel said mockingly.
"The hell did we get tricked by?!" Zoro asked.
"I imagine you know a member of your guild named Lucy Heartfilia." Gajeel said.
"Yeah, she's one of my good friends, the hell does she have to do with this?" Luffy asked.
"We were "told" to capture her." Gajeel answered. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's eyes widened at this realization.
"So you're telling us you deliberately pissed our guild off to go to your shitty place while you capture Lucy while we were distracted?!" Sanji realized. Gajeel nodded and chuckled some more.
"ZORO, SANJI, WE'RE LEAVING!" Luffy yelled returning to his base state and running off with Zoro and Sanji but stealing one of the guild members of phantom lord at the same time.
Somewhere far away, Lucy was being held in an old and dirty castle which so happened to be Phantom Lord's HQ. Lucy's arms were tied together behind her and she was lying on the floor, unconscious. She slowly opened her eyes to find herself in a torn cell. Lucy sat up looking around, wide-eyed.
"WHAT IS THIS!? WHERE AM I!?" Lucy freaked out frantically looking around the cell.
"Are you awake, Lucy Heartphilia?" Jose asked walking up to the cell containing Lucy.
"WHO IS THAT!?" Lucy wondered looking at the door for her cell. Jose opened up the doors for the cell and entered presenting himself.
"I'm Phantom Lord's Guild Master, Jose." He introduced himself to Lucy with his arms crossed.
"PHANTOM!?" Lucy screamed in shock, "Oh yeah...! I got captured by Element 4, and..."
"I apologize for tying you up and putting you in this filthy jail... But you're still a captive. Please try to understand," Jose told Lucy.
"UNTIE ME! WHO'S A CAPTIVE!? HOW DARE YOU DO ALL THAT TO LEVI AND THE OTEHRS!" Lucy barked at Jose.
"Depending on your attitude, we might treat you as a "VIP" instead of a captive." Jose suggested.
"What...?" Lucy questioned, a centipede crawled up her leg causing her to scream in fear.
"See? You really don't wanna stay in this jail. If you behave, we'll move you to a suite room." Jose told Lucy who was still worrying about the centipede.
"Wh-why did you attack us?" Lucy asked Jose looking up to him.
"Us?" You mean, Fairy Tail?" Jose asked back, "That was an extra, just an extra." Lucy was shocked and wanted to find out more.
"Our true objective was to get a hold of a certain individual. That certain individual happened to belong to Fairy Tail, so we thought why not kill 2 birds with one stone..." Jose explained with a sadistic smile.
"A certain individual?" Lucy wondered.
"You're so slow that I almost can't believe you're a daughter of the heartphilia family." Jose said, disappointed, "Who else could it be? Daughter of the heartphilia conglomerate, Lucy Heartphilia." Lucy started to tremble in shock.
"H-how do you know about that?" Lucy asked.
"I heard... you were hiding your social standing in the guild. I don't know why the daughter of one of the richest men in the country undertakes such cheap and dangerous jobs, but..." Jose explained.
"So then, you... kidnapped me?" Lucy asked (again)
"No, no, please don't be absurd," Jose answered, "It was none other than your father who requested to get you." Lucy's was in pure shock and silence.
"No... lies... why did he...?" Lucy questioned trembling.
"Isn't it normal if a pretty daughter runs away from home, people search for her?" Jose answered.
"HE WOULDN'T! HE WOULD NEVER BOTHER WITH THAT!" Lucy shouted at Jose, "I WON'T GO BACK! I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO SUCH A HOME!"
"My, my, what a troublesome lady." Jose stated.
"Release me at once." Lucy demanded.
"I cannot do that." Jose retorted. Lucy grew silent and started to blush.
"But, I need to use the restroom." Lucy begged.
"Such a classic excuse, isn't it?" Jose laughed.
"No... i mean it. Can't... hold it..." Lucy complained.
Jose pointed to a corner of the room where a bucket sat there.
"Go ahead." Jose pointed.
Lucy was surprised but it was better than nothing.
"Ho ho ho... it's so classic that you won't catch us off-guard." Jose bragged. Lucy stood up and looked down at the bucket.
"A bucket, huh..." Lucy thought.
"YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DO IT!?" Jose was really surprised by this, Jose turned around mumbling to himself. "WHAT A SHAMELESS LADY! And i'm such a gentlemen!" Lucy smiled and walked up behind Jose and kicked him in the dick and everyone knows what happens when a man is kicked in the dick.
"A classic strategy isn't so bad after all." Lucy stated before starting to leave the cell, "well! Be good!" Jose started to laugh and a big grin grew on his face. Lucy looked down and saw she was 9 stories in the air and no way to get down gently.
"Pity... isn't it...? This is our sky prison..." Jose bragged to Lucy as he slowly rose to his feet, "how dare... you do that to me..." Lucy looked down again and closed her eyes. "Lucy..." the words of her father echoed in Lucy's mind. Lucy had to make a decision fast or her plan would be all for nothing.
"Now... come to me... it's punishment time... i have to teach you the atrociousness of the phantom." Jose threatened with a sadistic smile as he crept toward Lucy. Lucy closed her eyes shut and jumped out, "WHA!?" Jose screamed in shock.
"I heard his voice! I'm sure... he's here!" Lucy thought to herself as she fell. She came closer and closer to hitting the floor.
GUM GUM BALLOON
A giant rubber balloon appeared before Lucy decreasing the force of the impact and making her bounce up slightly and falling onto Luffy.
"Thank god I made it!" Luffy praised as he was out of breathe. Lucy looked around for anyone else but saw no one in sight.
"You came back for me?" Lucy asked look at Luffy who she was still sitting on though.
"Yeah... of course... I sent Zoro... and Sanji to tell them what we found out...!" Luffy answered.
"Found out what?" Lucy asked feeling better for Luffy saving her.
"Yeah! Did you know that they attacked us as bait and-" Luffy was about to finish but was cut off by Lucy.
"Yeah, I know..." Lucy said in a guilty tone.
"What's wrong...?" Luffy asked.
"Sorry... i'm sorry..." Lucy apologized and started to tremble slightly.
"Sorry about what? Nothing's your fault." Luffy tried to comfort her.
"It is my fault! But i... still want to stay in the guild... I love fairy tail." Lucy said tearing up.
"Don't cry, Lucy! Everything's okay now! We can't stay here though!" Luffy told her, Lucy wiped her tears and got up off of Luffy as he got up brushing the dirt off his clothes. "Let's go!" Luffy said raising his fist.
In a tree house in the forest East of Magnolia, lives an old acquaintance of Makarov. Porlyusica hates humans, and thus lives peacefully, deep in the forest all by yourself. She's a specialist when it came to healing wounds with magic. Makarov was taken to her place to be healed by her.
Porlyusica is a slim and tall elderly woman with pink hair, tied in a bun on the back of her head by two large pins with crescent moon-shaped edges, and with two bangs of hair left framing her face and has reddish eyes. Her attire consists of a dark green blouse with a tie around the collar, paired with a long matching skirt and simple shoes. Over this, she sports a crimson-colored cape, with a wide collar decorated by massive dragon horn-like decorations protruding outwards, and edges adorned by white, arch-life motifs.
Makarov lay on a bed in the tree house covered by a leaf blanket. The members of Fairy Tail that decided to stay with Makarov were told to leave by Porlyusica as she said and I quote, "Go home. Those worried faces are like rubbing salt in a patient's wounds."
"You've caused so much trouble since the old days... for mages, their magic power is like their source of life. The greater the magic power you possess, the more Drain hurts. (Drain is the ability that was used against Makarov last chapter which defeated him.) "If you don't try your best... you could die like this. You're... really a fool..." Porlyusica told Makarov who was still in a serious condition.
At the underground part of the Fairy Tail guild, the rest of the Fairy Tail guild was recovering from their battle against the fake phantom lord guild. Zoro and Sanji informed everyone of their "discoveries" about Phantom's true intentions.
"Where's Luffy?" Erza asked after Zoro and Sanji explained what happened.
"He went to Phantom Lord's HQ to get Lucy back." Sanji said.
"HE LEFT WITHOUT ME!? DAMN IT, ERZA!" Natsu cursed as he was forced to go back because of Erza.
"He went by himself?" Erza got worried thinking Luffy might not be able to make it but she was heavily underestimating Luffy's power. Everyone stopped when they hear some people talking above them.
"Where the hell did it go!?"
"It was Mira who showed us last time, what do we do?"
"I can dig my way down?"
"That's not a good idea." The guild realized Luffy and Lucy came back. Mira left again and opened the trap door to the underground part and waved to Luffy and Lucy.
"Welcome back, you two." Mira welcome with a smile feeling a little better that everyone's back, well... mostly. Luffy and Lucy followed Mira inside and found the rest of the guild bandaged up. Everyone was happy when Luffy and Lucy came back, Lucy explained what happened and where she was taken, so some members began to plan how to attack Phantom's HQ while so felt down still that they had to retreat. Lucy felt guilty still even with Luffy's comfort.
"WHAT THE HELL, LUFFY!? WHY'D YOU HIDE THAT FORM FROM ME!?" Natsu asked luffy, mad that Luffy had a new form that he never showed Natsu yet.
"Sorry, but I only use it when it's really needed, I can't use it for fun." Luffy replied scratching the back of his head.
"What's up? Still worried, Lucy?" Grey asked walking up to her. Lucy was still silent.
"No... it's not that... it's just... i'm sorry..." Lucy apologized more.
"Well, daughters from rich families are destined to be targeted, and it's a man's duty to protect them." Elfman stated while walking up behind grey and joining the group.
"Don't say things like that." Grey told Elfman and turned to him and nodding no.
"But i'm surprised, too. Lucy, why were you hiding it?" Happy asked lookin up to Lucy.
"I wasn't so much hiding it... but i ran away from home... so i didn't feel like talking about it... he didn't care about the daughter who ran away from home for a year... and now he suddenly wants me back... papa did this so he can get me back... he's horrible." Lucy explained to everyone, "though... all of this happened because i ran away from home in the first place, right...?"
"N-no, that's not right! Papa is the bad one." Elfman came to a conclusion.
"Idiot!" Grey just flat out said to Elfman.
"Ah... i mean... PHANTOM!" Elfman said trying to make himself look smart.
"Because of my selfish actions... i can't believe i caused so much trouble for everyone... i'm really sorry... everything's go back to normal if i go home, right?" Lucy suggested.
"No." Luffy said with his arms crossed, "You say that expecting us to be happy when you go back and suffer even more than you have to, you don't need to. As long as we're all here together, no matter what situation we're in, as long as we're all here together as a family, we'll be happy no matter not. But, do you honestly think going back is going to help your problems?"
Lucy looked at the ground thinking hard, "no... I don't want to back, I want to stay here, with Fairy Tail, with everyone!" Lucy admitted to everyone. Everyone smiled when she admitted.
"That's the spirit! Now, let's kick Phantom's ass and continue our adventure!" Natsu said.
"Yeah, speaking of phantom, again. What happened at that other shitty place we raided?" Grey asked Luffy.
"I used 2nd gear as you guys saw me and I fought Gajeel who didn't stand a chance, but I had to be stopped when he told us Lucy was captured." Luffy answered.
At another corner of the guild, Mirajane was begging Laxus for help using a lachryma crystal which is basically a phone that does facetime when you use it.
"Master is seriously wounded, we cannot find mystogan. You're our only hope... Laxus." Mira begged, "please come back... it's an emergency."
"Serves that shitty geezer right! Ha ha ha! It doesn't concern me, go ahead and take care of it yourself." Laxus mocked while laughing. Cana stormed over to the crystal and chewed out Laxus.
"LAXUS! YOU!" Cana was mad at Laxus and his response to their incident.
"Isn't that how it is? That geezer started the fight. Why do we have to clean up his mess?" Laxus stated.
"Lucy, our comrade, is being targeted." Mira told Laxus.
"Huh? Who's that? Ah... that big-boobed newbie, huh." Laxus figured out, "tell her if she becomes my woman, I'll help out. And tell that geezer to hurry up and retire so he can give me the master's position."
"How dare you..." Cana muttered.
"Hey, hey... is that how you talk to someone when asking a favor? Why don't you just strip for me? I'm pretty weak for sexy-" Laxus was cut off by Mirajane shattering the crystal in rage.
"mira..." cana said out of worry.
"That guy's a dick." Sanji said walking up to the two, "we don't need help from the likes of him, I didn't like him from the start. We can beat those bastards without that ass, actually, why the hell is a guy like that in Fairy Tail in the first place?"
Mira started to tear up from rage because of laxus.
"I'M GOING TO FIGHT WITH EVERYONE ELSE!" Mira said without thinking.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?" Cana was surprised by this.
"CAUSE, I WAS HERE, BUT LUCY GOT KIDNAPPED, AND..." Mira was too mad to think of what to say but a hand was put on her shoulder.
"A delicate woman like you shouldn't fight in these battles, you've already done enough for the guild, Mira, let us handle the rest. You're already a lightbulb for us, we don't want it to go out." Sanji said to attempt to comfort Mira.
"Smooth." Cana thought to herself.
"This money system you guys have here in Fiore is absolute Bullshit, Luffy's bounty should not be that low, he's an incredible guy, he'll win the battle for us." Sanji tried to comfort her more. In the shower room, Erza was... well... showering, and thinking deeply about Fairy Tail's situation.
"Master's absence... as well as laxus... and mystogan. We have many injured... it's impossible to continue this fight any further..." Erza thought to herself.
"Jose is probably at the top floor. I'm gonna tear him a new one." The words of makarov echoed in her mind. Erza punch the wall in anger.
"If only... i went with him... pathetic! It's all my fault!" Erza thought to herself. All of a sudden, she heard loud stomping, and so did everyone else.
"IT'S COMING FROM OUTSIDE!" One of the guild members cried out. Erza covered herself with a tower and immediately went outside with everyone else to find the Phantom Lord's HQ Moving towards them on 6 giant mechanical legs.
"WHA-WHAT IS THAT...?" Everyone asked.
"I've seen shit in my life, but never, have I seen shit as crazy as this!" Sanji stated lighting his cigar.
"THAT'S SO COOL AND BAD!" Luffy said as he loved technology and what it could do but it was Phantom Lord so it was bad.
"I never imagined... they'd attack us like this..." Erza thought. The Phantom Lord HQ continued to walk above the ocean next to Fairy Tail's guild hall. A large cannon emerged from the HQ and charged up.
"THIS IS BAD! EVERYBODY, GET DOWN!" Erza shouted at everyone realizing what the cannon was.
"THAT'S A MAGIC CONVERGENT CANNON!" A guild member shouted out.
"ARE THEY TRYING TO BLOW OUR GUILD AWAY!?" Another one shouted.
"EVERYONE, GET DOWN!" Erza ordered. An ball of magic started to form in front of the cannon and slowly grew bigger and bigger.
Erza ran toward the HQ hoping to stop it.
"ERZAAAAH" a guild member shouted.
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO!?" Another one asked.
Erza's towel fell off as she changed into another armor. Light covered her body before fading revealing Erza wearing a large, blue and navy colored armor. The breastplate is composed of different plates joined together, with four, prominent tube-like ornaments on the front, right above her breasts, below the the high armored collar. The shoulder pads are very large and sport prominent plates shaped like spikes, protruding from a darker part which composes the base of the structure. The armor is completed by a helmet which covers the top and sides of erza's face, leaving the back part of her head, exposed, and sporting prominent spikes jutting outwards.
"I WON'T LET YOU TAKE DOWN OUR GUILD!" Erza shouted after equipping her armor.
"ADAMANTINE ARMOR!" A guild member yelled out.
"Don't tell me she's gonna try to stop the attack...?" Another guild member asked.
"Even though the armor is famous for its high defensive power..." another guild member said.
"NO! ERZA! YOU'RE GONNA DIE!" Yet another guild member yelled at Erza.
"GET DOOOOWN!" Erza demanded one last time.
Natsu charged in to help Erza but was held back by Grey.
"ERZA!" Natsu called out to Erza.
"NASTU! YOU JUST GOTTA BELIEVE IN ERZA HERE!" Grey told Natsu. The cannon finally fired shoot a large, massive laser toward the guild hall and got closer and closer rapidly. Erza went into a defensive stance and the blast was going to hit any minute now and closed her eyes. She felt nothing yet, she felt the same, what happened? She opened her eyes and found Zoro in front of her holding off the laser with all 3 of his swords.
"ZORO!?" Erza was caught off-guard, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"I'll... never be... a better swordsman... If i don't test my... limits!" Zoro answered struggling to hold it back.
"MOVE! I'LL HOLD IT BACK!" Erza told Zoro who was slowly being pushed back. The other guild members stared at awe as Zoro was still managing to hold it back.
"I like this guild... I like all you guys... I'm doing this to protect you guys... and to become... the world's best... SWORDSMAN!" Zoro yelled. A purple spiky aura surrounded Zoro and he was slowly consumed in a purple ball.
DEMON AURA NINE SWORD STYLE: ASURA
"NINE SWORDS!?" Everyone was shocked. The ball Zoro was consumed by faded revealing Zoro with 6 arms with a sword in each hand and 3 heads with a sword being carried in each mouth.
ASURA: 324 CALIBER PHOENIX
Zoro slashed at the beam slicing it to bits and proceeded to slash his swords toward to the guild hall to release 9 massive air projectiles which sliced parts of their hq off and sliced the cannon in half. Zoro was out of breathe and his other 4 arms retracted in his original 2 arms and his other 2 heads merged into his center head, Zoro fell to his knees still carrying the swords in each part.
"Did you just see what I just saw?" A guild member asked wide-eyed.
"Yeah, and I can't believe it!" Another guild member answered also wide-eyed.
"Zoro possessed this kind of power this whole time...? If he's the 2nd strongest, how strong could Luffy be...!?" Erza thought to herself in shock. The straw hats ran up to Zoro congratulating him for saving the guild.
"Zoro, I didn't know you could do that!" Luffy said amazed by what Zoro was capable of.
"Well, Chopper and I saw him do it before when we were fighting again that jerk, Shiki." Usopp told Luffy.
"G-guys! With the straw hats having that much power! We can actually do this!" A guild member cheered. the rest of the guild was processing that Zoro was capable of doing something Erza couldn't manage.
"If Zoro's that strong... how much stronger is Luffy...? Is he actually stronger than me!?" Natsu thought, coming to a realization, "No, gotta think about the current situation."
"hand over Lucy Heartphilia right now." Jose said over the speakers of the HQ and Fairy Tail heard. Guild members were yelling back at Jose saying no and all that. Lucy started to tear up a little bit.
"I..." Lucy didn't know what to say about everyone's devotion to protecting her.
"WE'D RATHER DIE THAN GIVE UP ON OUR COMRADE!" Erza Shouter as loud as she can. The rest of fairy tail agreed,
"OUR ANSWER WON'T CHANGE NO MATTER WHAT!" Natsu yelled too.
"WE'RE GONNA KICK YOUR ASSES!" Luffy shouted. Lucy started to cry, she was with the right people.
"I see... THEN WE'LL FIRE AN EVEN BIGGER AND STRONGER JUPITER! NOW STRUGGLE IN THIS 15 MINUTE TERROR UNTIL IT'S RELOADED!" Jose yelled.
"Uhh... master, that moss haired guy sliced the cannon in half!" A phantom member told Jose.
"THEN REPAIR IT THEN!" Jose yelled at the member.
"But it's going to take to long, we'd have to take a while to repair it, we can't do it right now!" The member told Jose. Fairy tail heard a death scream from the speakers as Jose just killed the member.
"That guy said you had a moss head, too." Sanji told Zoro with a half smile.
"Shut... the hell... up... deformed eyebrows..." Zoro shot back at Sanji. Phantom soldiers emerged from the castle and flew over to Fairy Tail.
"WHA...!? THEIR SOLDIERS ARE COMING OUT!" A fairy tail member cried out.
"NO WAY!" Another member cried out.
"They're gonna throw everything they have at us!" Another member said.
"Feel the pain, fairy tail. You have 2 choices. Die by my soldiers, or hand her over!" Jose threatened. The soldiers got closer and they were ghosts, not live humans.
"That's Jose's magic, "shade"... they're not human, they're just ghost soldiers that he created.
"Guys, we gotta go to their HQ and beat Jose to get them off our asses!" Luffy told the rest of Fairy Tail.
"HAPPY!" Natsu called for Happy who grabbed natsu and lifted him in the air and took him to the HQ.
"AYE, SIR!" Happy cheered on natsu.
"ELFMAN! WE'RE GOING, TOO! Grey told Elfman who agreed to come along.
"I'll tag in, too!" Sanji said following behind grey and elfman.
"You did good, my friend." Luffy told Zoro patting him on the back, "stay back, the others and I will take care of them!"
"Don't hog all of the fun... I'm going when I'm ready!" Zoro told Luffy.
Luffy smiled and nodded before using Gum Gum Rocket to catch up with the others. Mira grabbed Lucy by the wrist and took her somewhere for her to hide.
"LUCY! COME THIS WAY." Mira ordered Lucy.
"I HAVE TO FIGHT WITH THE OTHERS, TOO! IT'S ALL OF MY FAULT THAT THIS HAPPENED!" Lucy rejected.
"No, lucy. No one thinks it is." Mira told Lucy, "for our comrades who were defeated. For our guild, and to protect you... everyone's proud of this war. So please listen to me." Mira used her magic to make Lucy fall asleep and was caught my Mira.
"REEDUS! BRING LUCY TO THE "HIDEOUT"!" Mira ordered reedus. Reedus did as told and took Lucy to the "hideout". Mira used her transformation magic to transform into Lucy.
"I... I don't have any more power to fight..." Mira thought to herself, "but i'll protect my comrades at any cost!"
At the Hq, Natsu and Luffy and Happy went as a group going to the cannon first.
"Whoa, Zoro sliced that thing clean in half!" Natsu said in amazement.
"Whoa! Check it out, Natsu! I see a hold at the end of the cannon, it probably leads in, let's go!" Luffy told Natsu as they headed for the hole Luffy pointed out. They entered the hole and found themselves in the cannon room with the magic ammo but it was wrecked so it was useless.
"Zoro really did a number! He's so strong!" Happy said.
"Anyways, let's go kick Jose's ass for master!" Luffy said as they ran off in a random direction before a voice cut them off saying "I won't... let you do that...". Natsu found the person who said that and charged for him with a flaming fist.
"I won't let you..." he said as natsu got closer and all of a sudden, Natsu punched himself.
"NATSU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Happy asked.
"NO... MY BODY JUST MOVED...! Natsu told Happy as he rolled across the floor but stopped himself and picked himself up. The figure revealed himself to be Totomaru of the Element 4.
He is a young man with long, two-toned hair of black and white that is tied up into a japanese-style top knot on the back of his head, with the black portion overlaying the front and left side of his head, leaving the smaller white portion concentrated on the left, with the top knot also having the two separate colors correspondingly. On his face, he sports a simple marking consisting of 3 horizontal black bars passing across the ridge of his nose and both cheeks in a linear formation, with the one in the middle being the longest. He is garbed in a ninja-like attire.
"You're the one... getting in our way..."" Totomaru told Natsu.
"MOVE!" Natsu yelled at him.
"WE'RE GONNA KICK JOSE'S ASS!" Luffy yelled at Totomaru as well.
"No." he simply replied.
"Luffy, you go, this guy's pissing me off!" Nastu whispered to Luffy and he simply nodded. Luffy started to run off.
"I said... i won't let you... did i not?" Totomaru said putting his hand out in front of him aiming at Luffy.
"YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT ME!" Nastu yelled charging at Totomaru but he punched himself again and he rolled on the floor. "OWWWWW... THIS AGAIN... WHAT'S THIS...? BASTARD!" Natsu charged for him again but he ended up being hit Totomaru's knee and suddenly, Natsu was in a fiery tornado.
"I'm totomaru, a controller of the fire element... all flames are controlled by me." He told Natsu.
"WHAT!?" Nastu was shocked that Totomaru could control fire as well.
"WHETHER IT BE AN ENEMY'S OR NATURE'S, ALL THE FLAMES OUT THERE ARE MINE!" Totomaru shouted at Natsu.
"MY FLAME IS MINE!" Natsu yelled back at Totomaru.
"This seems to turn out bad for you... mr. Fire mage." Totomaru stated.
BLUE FIRE
Totomaru threw blue, cold fire at Natsu and consumed him in it. Natsu began to absorb the Blue Fire and eat it all. Totomaru was surprised by what Natsu managed.
"Whoa! Cold! It's my first time eating such cold fire." Natsu admittted letting out a deep breath.
"I see... you're the rumored fire dragon slayer. I guess it turns out bad for both of us." Totomaru told Nastu, "cause neither of our flames our effective against each other."
"Don't jump to conclusions. You didn't even taste my flame yet." Natsu shot at Totomaru.
"I told you, i won't get hit by any flame attack." Totomaru deflected the shot (not literally). Natsu thought of what to do and had an idea.
"How about this magic?" Natsu asked blowing up his cheeks. (Not literally)
"As long as it's "flame," I can control any magic." Totomaru warned.
SALAMANDER'S...
"It won't work!" Totomaru warned Natsu again, "i know this! It's the magic that he spews out a flame from his mouth..." Totomaru thought.
SPIT!
Natsu spit into Totomaru's eye making him scream. Natsu couldn't stop laughing at Totomaru's reaction which enraged Totomaru.
"PUNK! YOU TRICKED ME!" Totomaru shouted at Natsu.
ORANGE FIRE
Totomaru threw orange, foul-smelling, fire at Natsu.
"FIRE MAGIC IS MY FOOD. I WONDER WHAT FLAVOR THIS ONE IS!" natsu wondered, the orange fire consumed Natsu and Natsu attempted to absorb it but started coughing. "WH-WHAT IS THIS!? IT STINKS!" Natsu complained and tearing up from the coughing and the bad smell. "WUOOOOH! MY NOSE IS COMING OFF!"
"Ha ha ha! It's the shit-scent flame." Totomaru told Natsu.
"YOU'RE VULGAR, AREN'T YOU!?" Natsu said.
"I-it was you who started it!" Totomaru said back.
Natsu covered himself in his own flames disintegrating the orange flames.
"I'VE HAD IT!" Natsu snapped charging toward Totomaru but his punch completely missed.
"Did you just give up on magic and gonna use your fists instead? Then i'll be advantaged for using a sword." Totomaru said slashing at natsu with a sword knocking him back. Natsu got up and started to jump around trying to find the chance to hit Totomaru. "You never learn, do you...?" Totomaru asked making Natsu hit himself again. But the he exploded in fire which caught Totomaru in the blast, too. Blood was streaming down natsu's lip and Totomaru was burnt. "He... made the flame's big enough so that it would reach me!" Totomaru thought to himself. Natsu shot a large massive flame out of his hand and Totomaru jumped back dodging it. "I won't fall for the same trick, twice!" Totomaru told Natsu. Totomaru attempted to control the flame but couldn't. "WHA!? TH-THAT FLAME DOESN'T MOVE!" Totomaru complained, "i-is it anti-controlled!? Did he learn that in the middle of the battle!?" Totomaru thought to himself.
"THIS IS MY FLAME! DON'T MOVE IT WITHOUT MY CONSENT!" Natsu yelled at Totomaru, Natsu turned his arm to face Totomaru, moving the flame. Totomaru started to run away from the flame and laughing.
"IF IT DOESN'T REACH ME, IT HAS NO MEANING!" Totomaru laughed. Natsu smirked and shot another flame from his other hand ahead of Totomaru and immediately closing the gap catching Totomaru in the flames and burning him to a crisp. Natsu panted but eventually stopped, the ground started to shake and the entered building was twisting and turning and transformed into a Giant Robot. (Transformer basically).
Everyone outside of the HQ looked up to the robot and was speechless.
"What the hell, Even I can't manage that!" Franky said, jealous that there's something that he's not capable of doing.
"Wh...what on earth... is that...?" Cana asked. Everyone was freaking out, The robot took a step foward, then another, and another and started marching toward the guild hall, slowly.
"IS IT GOING TO TRAMPLE THE GUILD?!" A guild member screamed.
"CONCENTRATE ON THE ENEMY IN FRONT OF YOU! NATSU AND LUFFY ARE SURE TO STOP THAT GIANT ROBOT FOR US!" Cana tried to calm everyone down.
"Ah... but natsu's in there... it's a vehicle..." a guild member said.
"Oh... we still have luffy." Cana said.
In the HQ, Sanji, Elfman, and Grey found natsu on the floor, Motion sick with happy bouncing around because the robot was moving. Grey caught Happy and the 3 of them walked up to natsu.
"Natsu, you're pathetic, ya know that?" Grey mocked Natsu.
"Vehicles shouldn't make a man sick, he should make them sick!" Elfman stated. The robot stopped moving and Natsu got up immediately.
"Huh? It stopped..." Grey pointed out the obvious.
"I'll go and see what's going on outside!" Happy told the group and flew off.
The Giant Robot was right in front of the guild hall now. The robot started to draw something in the air and giant marks were left in the air from what it drew.
"IT'S A MAGIC SEAL! THIS BUILDING THING IS A MAGE?!" Cana yelled in shock. Everyone freaked out and screamed. Mira, who was tending to Erza in a seperate building, still disguised as Lucy, watched the turn of events happen and was surprised.
"THIS SEAL IS... ABYSS BREAK...?!" Mira thought, "ISN'T THAT ONE OF THE FORBIDDEN SPELLS...?"
"SUCH A HUGE SEAL... THIS IS BAD! THE DARK BLAST WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING ALL THE WAY TO THE CALDIA CATHEDRAL!" Loki yelled.
Happy went back inside the machine to tell the group about the news. Natsu didn't believe him but Happy was telling the truth. Happy also told them about it's destructive power.
"LET'S STOP IT!" natsu said going in one direction.
"WE'LL SPLIT UP AND FIND THIS MOVING GUILD'S POWER SOURCE!" Grey announced their plan while going in another direction.
"IT'S JUST ONE CRAZY THING AFTER ANOTHER...!" Elfman said going in another direction with Sanji.
Everyone down below were freaking out and attempting to figure out what to do.
"Mira... how long will it take for that spell to activate?" Cana asked Mira behind a wall.
"I think... about ten minutes..." Mira answered Cana, "I wonder if there's a way to destroy the power source..."
"The guys on the inside must be thinking the same thing." Cana told Mira.
"Natsu and Luffy aren't the only ones in there?" Mira asked.
"No... grey, elfman, and Sanji are in there, too." Cana answered.
"ELFMAN?! WHY?!" Mira was shocked that her brother went in, too.
"Don't act so surprised... elfman is-" cana was cut off by Mira's worry.
"HE CAN'T!" Mira yelled, "ELFMAN CAN'T FIGHT! YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT, TOO CANA!"
"He can fight... he took part in the fighting before." Cana denied Mira.
"It's one thing to go up against soldiers... but if he finds himself up against the leaders... the way he is now..." Mira said.
"Hey... mira... i know you and elfman were both terribly hurt but elfman is trying hard to keep moving onward... and plus, Sanji's there, Sanji and Elfman and friends and Sanji's sure to help Elfman out, for you." cana told Mira.
"W-what?" Mira wondered what she meant.
"It amazes me that you never figured it out, Mira, Sanji LOVES you, he cares about you more than just a friend, he cares about your family, he's risking his life for you and your brother!" Cana told Mira. Mira was shocked and clenched her fists.
"I need to go, too..." mira thought to herself. Mira stormed out of the building and waved her arms toward the machine. "I'M THE ONE YOU'RE AFTER, RIGHT?! STOP ATTACKING THE GUILD RIGHT NOW!" Mira screamed at Phantom lord, still disguised as Lucy with the other members telling her to stop. "That should buy us a little time...!" Mira thought to herself.
A phantom guild member looked down at the lucy imposter with binoculars and was getting ready to tell Jose that Lucy's there but Jose told him she's an imposter.
"Disappear. Little imposter." Jose said over the speakers. Mira was shocked that he figured the scheme out. "I knew right from the very start that lucy wasn't there. "There's no way that the person who was targeted would be sent to the front lines." Jose said over the speakers.
"I'm... completely useless..." mira thought as she reared up from her failed plan. The robot continued to form the magic seal. Inside the HQ, Elfman and Sanji were still looking around the hq looking for a way to stop the robot.
"UOOOOOOSH! I AM ELFMAN! I WILL PROTECT FAIRY TAIL IF IT COSTS ME MY LIFE!" Elfman shouted while running through a long room. Sanji rolled his eyes because Elfman was being too loud.
"Elfman! Check this out!" Sanji stopped Elfman and pointed at a growing bump in the floor that slowly grew. Monsieur Sol emerged from the ground in his usual stance.
"Salut." Sol said with a grin. Cana had her arm around Mirajane as she tried to make Mirajane feel better. Guild members around were making plans to make a break for it seeing the seal's almost done.
"You want to leave the guild behind?" Cana asked the others.
"Ah... no..." they answered.
"There are people fighting for us in there, too! We have to believe in them." Cana told everyone. The robot reached over and grabbed Mirajane with one hand and still doing the seal with the other. Mira screamed as she was slowly being crushed by the robot's fingers.
"MIRAAAA!" Cana yelled for Mirajane who was being taken away, "HURRY UP AND STOP THAT GIANT! NATSU, LUFFY, GREY, ELFMAN, AND SANJI!"
Jose smirked as he watched the events play out with his arms behind his back.
"So you're the bastard who's been doing all this...?" Luffy asked.
Jose turned around and saw Luffy standing there at the door of his room with a furious expression.
"Perhaps, and who might you be?" Jose asked.
"The future pirate king, AND THE WRECKER OF YOUR SHIT!" Luffy shouted at Jose.
"We'll see about that." Jose said and turned completely toward Luffy.
What Chaos! Fairy Tail's in Deep Shit! Can Luffy defeat Jose!? Can Mirajane be saved before being crushed to death!? Find out! Next chapter!
