"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled, as he used it on the barrier, but that didn't do jack. "Gah! You gotta be kidding me!"
"IRON DRAGON CLUB!" Gajeel yelled, but like the Rasengan, it didn't do anything. "Well that didn't do anything." He muttered.
"There's got to be some way to get out of here..." Naruto muttered and looked at Gajeel. "Use me as a battering ram."
"Excuse me?"
"Use me as a battering ram! I think the barrier will be destroyed if we use me as a battering ram."
"Look kid...that is the most knuckleheaded thing you can think of."
"I've done knuckleheaded things in the past and they've worked out just fine! Come on, you'd probably do something crazy too!"
"Good point..." Gajeel said as he picked up and turned Naruto's body into a battering ram. "Don't come crying to me if you die though."
"It's not gonna work." Makarov said as he was sitting cross-legged on the bar as he watched the two letting out their war cries and Gajeel running full speed.
"HERE WE GO!" Gajeel yelled, but like all their other attempts, it ended in failure...and Naruto knocked out with some blood coming down his nose.
"Ow..." Naruto groaned in pain.
Gajeel scratched his head. "I told you it was the most knuckleheaded thing." He said.
Naruto sighed. "Well now what?" He wondered and then looked at the petrified Erza. "I wonder..."
"What are you doing?" Gajeel asked as the both of them watched Naruto dragging Erza to the center of the guild.
"Call me crazy but..." He summoned a Shadow Clone as it helped him form Rasengan. "I think this might work."
"If she shatters, don't come crying to me." He said.
"RASENGAN!" Naruto yelled as he used it on Erza's chest as there was a small explosion. Thankfully, she didn't shatter. "Oh come on! That didn't work?!" He took out a kunai. "When in doubt...try to cut her open!"
"She ain't a frog, you moron!" Gajeel exclaimed as Naruto swung down...but his kunai shattered.
"OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" He yelled, as he tried Rasengan again.
"Naruto, save your energy." Makarov ordered. "We'll find a way to free these girls. I'm hoping that someone got to Laxus already."
"Well we're running out of time!" Naruto exclaimed. "We can't just sit around and wait for that Thunder whatever to destroy us!"
Suddenly, they heard a groan as the trio looked to see Erza getting up. "Ugh..." She muttered. "Why do I suddenly feel someone used a big blue ball of energy on my chest?" She asked.
"I...uh..." Naruto casually put his arms behind his head. "I have NO idea."
"Okay, how the heck are you walking around?" Gajeel asked.
"I think Evergreen's stoning magic doesn't work on Erza." Naruto said.
"Or, she has a fake eye, which allowed her to escape." Makarov explained.
"Well that's convenient...BUT WHY DIDN'T IT WORK RIGHT THEN?!" Naruto asked.
"I have no idea." Makarov said.
Erza stood up and looked at the other petrified girls and then looked at the writing. "Where's Evergreen?"
"I dunno, somewhere in Magnolia, I imagine." Naruto said.
"I'll be right back." Erza said as she walked straight to the exit.
"No wait! I wouldn't do that if I-" Erza easily walked through. "-Were you...?" Naruto blinked. "What the heck?"
"That figures, it affects us but not her." Gajeel muttered. "Totally convenient."
With Evergreen...
Evergreen stood on a roof, looking at the chaos below and chuckled. "That big manly brute didn't stand a chance against me." She said. "Good job, Freed."
"Hey." A voice said as she turned to see Erza standing right there.
"What?! How did you escape?!"
"My fake eye. It allowed me to escape that prison."
Evergreen growled and took off her glasses. "Then try this!" She exclaimed, using her same magic, but Erza closed one eye and kept her fake eye open. It had no effect. "No way!"
"See? I told you." Erza said as she summoned her sword.
"Why you..." Evergreen threw a couple of needles at her, but she blocked with her own sword, forcing Evergreen to throws a lot more needles, as Erza summoned another sword to block...and then she went into Heaven's Wheel Armor.
"You can't win." Erza said.
"Oh yes I can!" Evergreen exclaimed, throwing every needle she could but they were all blocked as tons of swords were being summoned in midair, aiming right at her forcing Evergreen to slowly backup until she hit a wall. "Can't we just talk about this?" She asked, but two swords pinned her to a wall, not piercing her skin.
Erza walked dangerously close to her, the swords looking all the more threatening as Evergreen was looking on in horror...and then she got punched in the face. "Release my friends." She ordered.
Evergreen sighed. "Alright." Her voice was muffled through Erza's fist.
Back with the others...
Naruto snapped his fingers. "Ah! Maybe if I go all nine tails on the barrier, I could break us out of here!"
"That's brilliant!" Gajeel exclaimed. "Go all nine tails!"
"There's just one problem..."
"What?"
"I only go in that form when I'm extremely pissed off."
Gajeel majorly facepalmed. "THEN WHY DID YOU BRING IT UP THEN?!"
"Oh...my achin'..." A voice said as the boys turned to see Lucy, Juvia and the others totally back to normal.
"Hey! The girls are back to normal!" Naruto exclaimed.
"Can someone tell me what the heck happened?" Cana asked, as Makarov explained what happened. "I see."
"Now that you're back, we can finally stop this madne-" Makarov suddenly clenched his chest, groaning in agony before falling to the ground.
"Oh my gosh!" Mirajane exclaimed. "Master!"
"What's going on?" Naruto asked.
"This is bad..." Mirajane muttered. "Levy! Get Polyrusca!"
"Right!" Levy nodded and then ran off.
Meanwhile...
Laxus was in front of the organ, sitting there and then noticed someone walking in. "So, you're the cause of all this to happen."
"Hmph, I never expected you to show up."
"Deactivate the Thunder Palace right now and surrender. You won't be able to win."
"I will win...and there's nothing you can do about it, Mystogan."
"So be it." Mystogan said. "You leave me with no other choice."
