Chapter 11.

"Was an awesome job or what?" Natsu boast as Fairy Tail's strongest team strolls down the streets of Magnolia towards the guild hall.

"The client looked happy," Happy smiles from the top of Tawna's head.

"I don't know why he was so happy, you destroyed so much stuff I thought for sure he was gonna be mad." Tawna says to her older brother.

"Natsu was a bigger problem than the original job." Gray adds.

"What makes you say that!" Natsu yells.

"You were about as helpful as one of Erza's suitcases." Gray snaps pointing to Erza's trolley stacked high with bags.

"You better watch it Popsicle!" Natsu shouts clashing his and Gray's head together.

"Bring it on Flame Brain!" Gray spits back.

"If you ask me," Tawna says falling into step next to Lucy as Erza tries to split up the guys, "They were both useless on that job. It wasn't really a job needed for brute strength."

"I didn't even want anyone to come with me on this job," Lucy sighs, "I took it as a solo mission."

"Yes, sorry about that." Tawna apologizes, "But, you know what they are gonna say," She points to the three arguing behind them, "Fairy Tail's strongest team needs to stay together." She says trying to imitate Natsu's voice.

"Yeah, you're right," Lucy laughs, "At least you didn't destroy everything."

"I can hold back, unlike those two idiots." Tawna says indicating to Natsu and Gray, "But I am still a Dragneel. Destroying stuff is in my blood," Tawna smirks as the group comes to the center of town. Whispers surround them from the people around them.

"Why is everyone staring at us?" Gray asks.

"It feels like pity," Erza says then come to a stop when she sees the guild hall in the distance, "Why does the guild look so bizarre?" She gasps, "We need to hurry!" Fairy Tail strongest team runs through the crowd to the Guild at the edge of town. Steel rods and crumbling and cracking wood scattered around the hall.

"No way," Gray gasps.

"Why would someone do this?" Tawna asks stepping closer, but Natsu grabs her shoulder and pulls her behind him.

"Our guild," Natsu seethes staring at the crumbling remains of the hall everyone calls home.

"Who could have done this?" Erza questions.

"It was Phantom," Mira's soft voice trembles from behind them.

"Are you serious?" Gray asks.

"Phantom did this?" Natsu turns with anger filling his eyes.

"We couldn't do anything to stop them," Mira sighs, "They got us good."

"Where is everyone else?" Erza asks.

"In the basement." Mira says motioning them to come along. Going through the back door and down the stairs. The team is met with Fairy Tail's members gathered together drinking, and talking quietly.

"What's up kids?" Gramps slurs from a nearby barrel.

"Hi," Lucy says.

"He is so drunk," Tawna scrunches her nose, "I'm positive there is more alcohol in his blood than water."

"Sorry we couldn't be here sooner," Erza bows her head slightly.

"Why is everyone just sitting around down here?" Natsu shouts.

"Loo-see did ya finish the job like a gooooood girl?" He slurs.

"Uh, yeah." Lucy stutters a bit.

"Master do you understand the gravity of the situation?" Erza questions.

"The guild hall has been completely destroyed," Natsu scowls.

"No need to get ourselves worked up about." Gramps says taking another sip of his beer.

"What?" Gray snaps.

"Just goes to show ya how big of whips those in Phantom Lord are. They struck when no one was here." Gramps says putting down his beer.

"No one was here?" Tawna questions.

"It was after everyone went home for the night." Mira adds.

"At least no one in our guild was harmed." Erza says quietly.

"Nothing to worry ourselves about. Forget about those fools!" Gramps squeaks. Natsu punches the near by wall making the guild members turn their attention to them.

"Natsu!" Tawna reprimands.

"Not gonna happen Gramps!" Natsu shouts, "You're gonna let them get away with trashing our place?"

"I'm not talking about this any longer," Gramps states, "From now one we will handle job request down here until the upstairs is fixed."

"We shouldn't be worring about jobs right now…"

"NATSU!" Gramps shouts, "That's enough out of you!" Gramps magically stretched arm swings and hits Lucy in the butt.

"Is there a reason you spanked me," Lucy sighs at Master's drunken state.

"Hands to yourself Master." Mira demands. Gramps giggles drunkenly and runs off.

"Where you goin Old Man!" Natsu shouts, "I don't understand why he is being like this." He sighs.

"He's just as mad about this as all of us, but conflict between the guilds is forbidden." Mira sighs.

"But that's not fair! Those Phantom freaks started it!" Natsu complains stopping his feet.

"Natsu stop acting like a child!" Tawna yells freezing his feet to the floor, "We are already on the council's bad side."

"If the Master's choice was to not retaliate, then we must respect his decision." Erza states. Natsu sighs then his eyes fall to his feet.

"WILL YOU STOP FREEZING ME!" Natsu shouts at a smirking Tawna.

"Stop acting like a child, Lava brain." She snaps.

"what did you call me?" Natsu snaps

"You heard me," Tawna says as her and Natsu's heads clash.

"Water Breather!"

"Fire Sucker!"

"This is not the time to be fighting," Mira glares, "Natsu that side of the room, Tawna the other." She points sending the siblings separate ways.


"Geez, this is a pretty big mess we are in." Lucy sighs as her Tawna and Plue walk towards her apartment.

"We have never gotten along with Phantom." Tawna says looking up to the stars above them then back to Lucy.

"I never knew Phantom and Fairy Tail had such a rivalry." Lucy states, "I honestly almost joined them before I met up with Natsu. They have the same reputation as Fairy Tail."

"That's one of the reasons," Tawna sighs, "We are practically equal in magical power." She says stretching her arms then resting her hands behind her head just like Natsu does.

"I don't regret joining Fairy Tail one bit." Lucy smiles as the two girls and dog approach the apartment, "I love our crazy guild. Fairy Tail is kind of like my family." She say stepping into her apartment.

"Very nice place you got." Erza smiles as her, Gray, Natsu and Happy all sit around Lucy's table.

"Family who likes to show up without asking first!" Lucy shouts throwing her suit case towards Natsu, "Why are you here?"

"Since the guild has been attacked, we can assume there are Phantom Lord members still in town." Erza says calmly sipping her tea.

"They have probably found out where everyone lives by now." Gray adds.

"Where we live?!" Lucy shouts in shock.

"Mira said it would be best if we all hold up together." Gray states.

"Everyone in Fairy Tail is having a slumber party tonight!" Happy cheers munching on a piece of fish.

"Then why are the rest of you here, Tawna and I were already gonna have a sleepover." Lucy says pointing to the short pink headed mage holding a shivering Plue in her arms.

"You two are cute and attractive girls after all, I wasn't comfortable with you two being alone without us around." Erza states.

"If any of those Phantom Losers came snooping around, I could have taken care of them easily." Tawna states proudly.

"I'm sure you could have Tawna, but I felt more relaxed being here with you." Erza smiles at the twelve-year old's determination.

"This isn't the time to relax!" Natsu snaps.

"This isn't the time to be complaining either." Tawna snaps back.

"Don't you two start arguing again," Lucy snaps.

"Wow Lucy, you sure have a lot of dirty clothes." Happy says rummaging through Lucy's stuff with Plue who has found himself a lollipop.

"Hey! Get out of my stuff cat!" Lucy shouts.

"Happy it's not nice to go through people's things." Tawna scowls.

"Hey Plue, you find somthin to eat? Well don't go hogging it all." Natsu says sitting next to the dog and a box of candy.

"Look Erza," Happy cheers now looking through Lucy's drawers, "I fund some frilly panties you might like."

"Happy!" Tawna reprimands picking the cat up by the scruff of his neck.

"I can't believe you would actually where something like this," Erza says looking through the drawer Happy was just in.

"They are taking the 'make yourselves at home' thing too serious," Lucy sighs.

"Do you expect anything less of them?" Tawna questions still holding Happy.

"No," Lucy thinks about it for a moment, "I guess not."

Tawna was volunteered by Erza to take a bath first, then followed by Erza, then Lucy.

"Okay, I'm done with my bath, your turn Natsu," Lucy states to the half-asleep Dragon slayer laying on her table, "Okay, Gray?" Yet again Lucy is ignored and sighs.

"You guys should, it's so relaxing." Erza sighs still sitting in her towel on the edge of Lucy's bed. Lucy looks around her room at her relaxed team. Natsu is half asleep, Gray is reading something, Erza is comfortably sitting in her towel, and Tawna is curled up in the corner of Lucy's bed reading a book Levy let her borrow.

"I'm glad everyone is so relaxed," Lucy sighs.

"Well I guess I should get dressed," Erza sighs requipping into pajamas.

"Is that really how you change your clothes?" Lucy asks shocked.

"Stop showing off Erza," Tawna giggles from behind her book.

"Do any of you know why Phantom attacked us anyways?" Lucy asks sitting at the table.

"No idea," Erza sighs, "We have had some scuffles in the past, but nothing like this."

"If Gramps wasn't so afraid of them we could wipe out those punks." Natsu states.

"Since when are you awake?" Lucy asks.

"You know Gramps isn't scared of them, he's one of the Ten Wizard Saints." Gray states from the desk.

"Hey I didn't give you permission to read that!" Lucy shouts grabbing her started novel from his hands.

"Wait, at least tell me what happens." Gray complains.

"No, I promised Levy she'd be the first to read it, then Tawna." Lucy states gathering all the papers, "What is this about the Ten Wizards Saints?"

"They are the ten most powerful wizards in Fiore." Tawna says putting down her book, "Phantom Lord's master is one too."

"He his afraid!" Natsu shouts banging his fist on the table, "He's afraid Phantom has too many members for us to handle."

"You know that's not true Bro." Tawna states.

"We can't go making the council mad again. We barely got off the hook last time." Gray says.

"We are on par with Phantom, if we went to war neither would survive. Their master equals Gramps strength, and they have an elite team like our S-class, the Element Four. But their biggest threat maybe Black Steel Gajeel, I believe he is the one behind destroying the guild hall. He's known as the Iron Dragon Slayer," Erza explains.

"What?" Lucy asks shocked, "I though Natsu and Tawna were the only ones."

"He's the only other dragon slyer I have heard of." Tawna states.

"If he's the iron dragon slyer, does that mean he eats iron?" Lucy questions.

"Well since Natsu eats fire and I eat water or ice, then I think it's a safe bet that he does." Tawna says moving pieces of her wavy hair from her face.

"That's enough discussing for now," Erza says standing, "Let's all get some rest for the night." Everyone nods and finds their places around Lucy's apartment to sleep. Lucy stands about to turn off the light, Gray is already passed out on the couch, Erza is on one side of Lucy's bed, and finally, Natsu is on the floor with Tawna using his arm as a pillow and Happy between the two.


"Move! We are from their guild!" Erza shouts as the team cuts their way through the crowd surrounding the large tree in Magnolia's Southgate Park.

"No," Tawna gasps as they approach the scene. Levy, Jet and Droy all beaten and hug on the tree with Phantom's mark on Levy's stomach.

"Levy!" Lucy gasps.

"Phantom went too far this time!" Tawna growls looking at her friend hanging on the tree. Footsteps sound behind them as Gramps makes his way to his children.

"Master," Erza whispers.

"I can take our headquarters getting destroyed," He says as anger flashes through his eyes, "but I will not let them hurt my children without taking revenge!" He yells crushing his walking stick in his fist, "We have no choice but to go to war."

Within a couple of hours everyone was marching their way to Phantom Lord's Guild Hall, all except for Lucy who went to the hospital with Team Shadow Gear. As the approach Gramps sciences them all.

"Ready my children?" He asks.

"Let teach them a lesson" Canna boasts.

"Lets give them a piece of what Fairy Tail is really about." Gray smirks cracking his knuckles.

"Let's kick some Phantom Loser butt" Tawna grins.

"I thought I told you to stay at the guild," Natsu hisses, realizing his sister is next to him.

"And I told you that wasn't happening," Tawna scowls, "They are not getting away with hurting Levy."

"On my mark," Gramps starts, "Natsu, blow down the door, then we attack." The guild mates nod and quickly make their way to the large doors. Gramps nods his head and Natsu hits the door with enough power making them explode. Couple of members of Phantom go flying into the opposite wall, and confused shouts and mumbles fill the air.

"FAIRY TAIL HAS COME KNOCKING!" Gramps shouts as the dust and smoke clears. Phantom members attack closest to Natsu who takes them out with a simple wing attack.

"Who wants to play with fire!" Natsu smirks.

"Lets get em!" Gray shouts as Fairy tail and Phantom collide. Fairy Tail's attacks are flawless, taking our dozens of Phantoms at a time.

"Water dragon daggers!" Tawna shouts sending twenty or so members pinning to the wall.

"Ice make hammer!" Gray swings knocking more out. Macao and Wakaba coordinate their attacks as does Alzack and Bisca. Gramps grows and smashes members beneath his hand.

"Their master is a monster!" a Phantom member shouts.

"All their members are powerful too." Another trembles.

"Fire Dragon,"

"Water dragon,"

"WING ATTACK!" Natsu and Tawna attack back to back, taking out dozens.

"Their Dragon Slayers?" a few of their opponents question.

"you've been practicing," Natsu smirks to his little sister.

"Well, I did learn from the best," She smirks nudging his side.

"Tell me!" Erza shouts requipping into her fire empress armor, "Where is Gajeel and the Element four!"

"Roar of the fire dragon!"

"Ice make Lance!"

"you're not doing half bad for being a snowman," Natsu smirks now standing with Gray.

"I could say the same thing about you ya Pyro." Gray grins

"Erza!" Master yell heading up the stairs, "I leave the rest to you!" He says disappearing to look for Phantom's master.

"Yes sir!" Erza nods turning her attention back to the task at hand.

"Card magic, Bane of Lightning!" Canna shout electrocuting those surrounding her.

"Ring magic Twister!" Loke shouts sending Phantom Lord members into a tornado of wind.

"Get the kid!" One of the members shout coming closer to where Tawna stands.

"Water dragon currents!" She shouts sending powerful streams of water out in all directions, as well as riding one on a piece of ice surfing around the members.

"Tawna!" Elfman shouts cupping his hands together. She jumps off the ice board and Elfman launches her into the air.

"Water dragon cyclone!" The large tornado of water erupts from her feet, but quickly dissipates.

"Tawna?" Gray and Elfman question when she didn't jump into the center of the cyclone like she usually does.

"Hey!" Tawna shouts from above. Everyone looks up and Tawna is being held by the back of her tank top by a large man dressed in dark colors and long black hair in the rafters of the hall.

"Katawna!" Natsu shouts as some of the fighting comes to a halt.

"Put me down!" Tawna snaps swatting her arms and kicking her legs at her captor.

"So, yer the famous little dragon slayer people are talkin about?" The man growls holding Tawna over the guild hall.

"Gajeel!" Erza shouts from below, "Release her now!"

"Put me down you iron eating meanie!" Tawna begins to swat her arms more.

"Damn you're like a swatting cat," Gajeel scowls holding her farther away from him, "Calm it Calico!"

"What did you just call me!" Tawna shouts trying to fight out of his grip. Tawna looks down realizing how high up she is, and begins to tremble, "Put me down," She says quietly at first, "Please put me down!" she yells desperately.

"Oh is someone 'fraid of heights," Gajeel taunts.

"Gray get ready to catch her!" Natsu growls.

"What?" Gray questions as Natsu and happy fly up and fire punch Gajeel sending him flying to the ground. Tawna screams as his grip is released on her and she begins to fall to the destroyed guild hall below. Gray dives and catches her in his arms before she hits the ground, sending both sliding across the floor.

"He just hit Gajeel," Many members say in unbelief as Gajeel stands from the now broken sign above the bar.

"not, bad," Gajeel smirks standing,

"Gray, is she okay!" Natsu shouts landing back on the ground.

"Yeah," Gray says as a crying Tawna clings to him.

"You must be Fairy Tail's other Dragon Slayer." Gajeel smirks, "Iron dragon club!" His arm transforms into iron and expands flying into Natsu's stomach.

"Natsu!" Tawna shouts with tears still in her eyes. Natsu grabs the club and begins the iron begins to hiss as it heats up.

"You destroyed our guild hall, you attacked Levy and her team, and you tried to hurt my sister. You're gonna pay!" He yells as he grabs the iron with is flamed engulf hand s and flings Gajeel upwards. The iron dragon slayer pushes of the rafters and back down, but only to be met with Natsu's fist sending him into the wall.

"He's fired up now," Wakaba smirks.

"Yeah, I wouldn't want to be the other guy." Macao adds.

"He's quite the wizard," Erza smiles proudly.

"And he's a Man!" Elfman states.

"Kick his iron butt Big Bro!" Tawna cheers as Gajeel stands from the pile of rocks.

"Nice try, but I'm still standing." He smirks.

"Not for long," Natsu grins, then Gajeel's leg turns to iron and kicks him back.

"That's gotta hurt," Gray says standing next to Tawna.

"What, you can dish it out, but you can't take it?" Gajeel taunts. Natsu expolodes in flames standing from the ground.

"It's gonna take more than that to keep me down," He smirks.

"You honestly think you can beat me?" Gajeel sneers.

"HE'S GONNA KICK YOUR BUTT!"

"Shut it Calico!" Gajeel snaps at the small dragon slayer. Tawna glares and her hand and forearm glows blue.

"Don't worry Tawna, I got this," Natsu smirks as Gajeel's Iron club hits him again, "You beams can touch me," He says heating up the iron.

"So the rumors are true, yer way more powerful than you look. That actually burns a little," Gajeel smirks retracting his arm back.

"You ain't seen nothin you metal freak!" The two Dragon Slayers stack punching and kicking each other, sending one another flying after each hit. Gajeel and Natsu are fighting it out in the rafters when the places starts rumbling.

"I don't like the sound of that," Gray states looking up.

"This is what happens when Master Makarov gets angry," Cana smirks.

"Prepare to fight!" Erza shouts, "We cannot lose when Master is with us!"

"Yeah!" Fairy Tail shouts springing back into action.

"Let's fight like men!" Elfman shouts punching through the guild members with his beast arm.

"You said it Elfman!" Tawna smiles placing her hand above her head creating a blue magic circle, "Water dragon Rain freeze!" the water in the air condensates into a cloud and freezing rain hit target Phantom Lord members and the water freezes to their skin on contact.

"Haven't seen you use that attack in a while," Gray smirks freezing more people around them.

"I haven't created a storm in a while, so I thought it'd be fun." Tawna smirks as the rumbling in the hall gets louder, and a scream is heard crashing to the ground.

"Master!" Erza shouts.

"It's Gramps!" Natsu gapes.

"Is he okay?" Gray asks.

"Why is he green!?" Tawna shouts as they gather around Gramps, "I don't sense any magic energy!" Tawna says as Erza hold Gramps up in her arms.

"What happened to him?" Cana asks kneeling down next to them.

"I don't understand, Gramps is so powerful. How did they beat him?" Gray asks standing.

"The only way to find out is to go up there," Elfman says looking uo to the rafters.

"Their master is defeated, we can still beat them," Phantom members smirk as they attack once more.

"Don't start getting cocky!" Natsu shouts attacking with fire.

"Cana!" Wakaba shouts as a magical blast is sent in her direction, but Macao jumps in front shielding her.

"Macao," Cana says concerned.

"Water dragon daggers!" Tawna attempts to fight of the Phantom members closing around her. Blasts of magic come from both sides and Tawna acts quickly, "Water wall!" She raises a wall of water on both sides, but her two wall are not as strong as her single wall ad the pressure of the attack makes her drop to her knees.

"Stay away from her, Fire Dragon Iron fist!" Natsu takes of the attacks around Tawna and stands protectively in front of her.

"Thanks Bro, I need to work on the double water wall," Tawna says standing back to back with her brother fist glowing blue ready to fight.

"Everyone retreat!" Erza shouts over the guild hall.

"No way!" Natsu shouts.

"We still have some fight left in us!" Cana shouts holding up an injured Macao.

"Retreat! That is an order!" Erza demands and some members start to file out of Phantom's guild hall. Before Tawna and Natsu about to leave they hear Gajeel mention something about capturing Lucy.

"Natsu, they got Luce," Tawna gasps.

"Gajeel!" Natsu shouts up to the rafters.

"We'll finish this later Salamander," Gajeel smirks them disappearing into thin air with a very large man.

"Tawna go back to the guild with everyone else," Natsu says looking down to his sister.

"But what about Lucy?" Tawna asks.

"Happy and I are gonna go find her, you get back to the guild where it is safe." Natsu places a hand on her head and Tawna reluctantly nods and heads to the door with Gray and Erza. Leaving Natsu and Happy behind, the rest of the guild retreats to the guild to regroup and get much needed medical attention for Gramps.
