Hey readers we are back with another chapter of Demonic Pressence. As you know I don't own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima owns it.

One hour before Natsu and END appeared in the forest: Phantom Lord Guild

"Gajeel, t-t-the master n-n-needs you" said the unfortunate Mage who had lost a game of rock-paper-scissors. He was shaking in his boots because of the iron dragon slayer. Gajeel had a tendency to lash out at members who interrupted him while he was eating.

"OK." Was all Gajeel said as he got up to head up to his guild master's office. But before he left the table he hit the Mage that had interrupted his meal with an iron club.

"I know I said don't interrupt me when I'm eating. Next person that does it gets THAT." Yelled Gajeel as he was in front of his Master's door. The guild got quiet enough that you could hear drops from the faucet. Yeah he scared the guild that much, kind of like a red haired Mage from their rival guild, Fairy Tail.

"Do you have to be so loud Gajeel." Asked Jose Porla, guild Master of Phantom lord and one of the ten wizard saints.

"If they keep annoying me, then yes. They'll never learn other wise." Said Gajeel as he took a seat in front of Jose's desk.

"Anyway what do you need." Said Gajeel nonchalantly which would have been seen as disrespectful if Jose hadn't gotten used to it over the years.

"We are finally going ahead with the plan. So I need you to provoke them in the worst way possible." Said Jose.

"So which one do I do first. The guild or one of the members." Asked Gajeel with a smile on his face. He had waited a long time to beat down some "Fairies" as he would call them.

"Attack the guild at night. Then attack one of their weaker members. I have a perfect choice of targets for you." Said Jose as he handed him three cards with photos of Fairy Tail Mages with the name of the targets on them and where they were at that exact time. On one was Macao and Romeo. On the second was Levy, Jet, and Droy. On the third was Lucy.

"I'll take the middle one. Three against one ought to be fun." Said Gajeel with a huge grin.

"OK you'll leave immediately. Don't destroy the guild until everybody is out of it, though. Preferably at night. I don't need you out of commission because Makarov was there." Said Jose that got a nod from Gajeel.

"That all?" Asked Gajeel as he walked to the door.

"Yes. Show them why Phantom will always be number one." Said Jose as Gajeel left.

Thirty minutes after Natsu and END arrived: Phantom lord guild doors

"You ready to go." Asked Natsu

"I'm always ready." Said END.

"You said the same thing when we went up against Snyder." Said Natsu as smirked.

"He caught me by surprise. And if you hadn't been the idiot you are, we wouldn't have had to go through that." Said END as he butted heads with Natsu.

"If you had listened you would have saw my plan was fool proof." Said Natsu as he turned his head toward the doors.

"I doubt that since a fool came up with it." Said END as he too turned the doors.

"Can we get going I want to fight the dragon slayer." Said Natsu.

"Just open the damn doors already." Said END. Natsu then pushed the doors open. This action caught the attention of the guild.

"Attention Phantom Lord. I am looking for the man that goes by the name Black Steel Gajeel. I wish to fight with him since he has been spreading some false rumors. Now if you give him up nothing will happen to you but if you don't comply my friend here will decimate your puny little guild." As he finished the guild erupted in laughter. They really didn't take his threat seriously. That was their biggest mistake they ever made.

"Now who do you think you are. I mean seriously the two of you versus the whole guild. Are you crazy. Do you not know who we are. How about I give you a demonstration." Said a random Phantom Lord Mage as he swung to punch Natsu but all he contacted was air since Natsu ducked. He then felt a hand on his arm. He then turned to look who had his hand but all he saw was red eyes in a cloak. No face just eyes. Then END quickly twisted his arm breaking it before jumping and spin kicking him across the guild causing him to lose consciousness. This shocked the entire guild.

"He beat Josh!" Yelled a random member.

"He was runner up for the element four!" Yelled another member.

"We are so screwed!" Yelled another

"Now I will only ask one more time where is Gajeel." Asked Natsu in a light tone that everybody knew was dangerous to trust.

"He left on a mission an hour ago." Said a scared Mage which got him death glares from his guild mates.

"I see. Well thank you for the information. And as promised I won't hurt any of you." Said Natsu which got sighs of relief. But then END put his hand up in the air while his palm was facing upwards.

"I, on the other hand will destroy you all." Said End as red energy started to form on his hand.

FLAME SHOWER. Yelled END as he shot laser like flames into the air till they reached the top of the guild hall. They then fell to earth with blinding speed causing an explosion that took out the entire guild.

Outside the guild a minute before Flame shower

"Time to show the country why I'm the strongest Mage in Fairy Tail. Not even that perverted old man can match me." Thought Laxus as he walked toward the guild of Phantom Lord. When he got there he was shocked to see that doors where blown off as if a battle had gone on. He saw broken bodies littered all over the guild and in the epicenter of it where two cloaked figures.

"What the hell happened here!" Yelled Laxus which caught the attention of the two figures.

"I happened here." Said one of the cloaked figures darkly.

"And who the fuck are you." Asked Laxus as he got into a fighting stance.

"That nose of yours should be stronger than that. I mean you weren't trained by a dragon but a Lacrima is just as good. It hurts that even after I handed you such a humiliating defeat that you would forget me." Said one of the cloaked figures as he took off his hood to reveal pink(salmon) hair.

"N-Natsu." Said Laxus in shock.

"The one and only." Said Natsu with a cocky grin.

"Oh, I have been waiting a long time to kick your sorry ass and after I'm through with you I'll take down the resident dragon slayer of the guild." Said Laxus as lightning started to wrap around his body.

"Too bad Gajeel isn't here. But you know what you might be just as good. I came to fight a dragon slayer and show him just how superior I am. Since Gajeel's a no show I'll have to settle for you." Said Natsu as fire encased his body.

"Are you gonna keep yapping or are you gonna fight." Yelled END. Just as he said that both Natsu and Laxus charged at each other with their fist cocked back. When they met their fist collided causing a massive explosion.

Fairy Tail Guild

It has been a week since Erza had returned and Gray has still yet to return from oak town. Erza awoke a day ago but she was visibly different. She was much more guarded. She rarely talked to the people that came to visit her and most would say she cowered away from. The only person she let down her guard down for was the master and even then she would barely talk to him. Porlyusica didn't know what to say about how long she would be like this. But she warned the guild it might be a permanent change. This news hurt the guild to its core.

How could one of their strongest mages change so drastically. They started to pity her but as soon as they felt it, it turned into anger. Not at Erza, not at themselves, hell not even at Team Gray who had lost her. No their anger was aimed at one person. Natsu Dragneel. They as a Guild vowed revenge for as Gray would call him "that pink haired bastard".

"Master we should do something for Erza." Said Mira as she sat next to a sleeping Erza.

"Mira, we can't rush for her to get back to her old self. Besides it has only been a day. I'm sure she'll be back to the same Erza we knew and loved(feared)." Said Makarov with a sad smile.

"But, what about a welcome home party. The guild seems in a great mood since she came back. We should celebrate her return. That'll make her feel better." Said Mira.

"I don't know. I don't think she could handle the high spirits of the guild. " said Makarov.

"We could even have strawberry cake. She would love it" Said Mira with excitement ignoring Makarov.

"You're not going to listen to me are you?" Said Makarov with a sigh but all he heard was Mira yell outside of the door that they were throwing a party for Erza which got cheers from the Guild.

Oak town 5 minutes from Phantom lord

Gray has been staying in oak town for the last several weeks getting Intel on one of their mages Juvia L. For some reason the guy who put in the job request didn't put her last name in. She was said to have caused massive water damage to their town and they wanted a fairy tail Mage to figure out if it was malicious or not. You know since they know how to cause widespread destruction without noticing.

He had stayed there for a whole week yet no site of his target. Honestly he was getting bored of waiting around. He wanted to fight something and a pink haired bastard would be an excellent choice. He was worried about Erza but the job came first. He couldn't just abandon the mission it'll look bad on Fairy Tail. He just had to suck it up and

"BOOOOOOOOMMM" an Explosion that shook the very ground he stood on pierced his thoughts.

"That came from Phantom. Uh why do have to be a good guy and go help THEM of all people. What a drag." Thought Gray as he turned the corner to see that Phantom Lord's Guild was a complete wreck and that on the ground in front of him was Laxus on one knee.

"Laxus what happened. And what are you doing in oak town." Asked Gray which caught Laxus by surprise.

"Who are you." Asked Laxus as he turned toward Gray.

"I'm Gray one of your guild mates." Said Gray before he stripped his shirt away without him noticing.

"Oh you're the perverted stripper." Said Laxus irritated that the stripper was here.

"Now what happened." Asked Gray. Laxus then stood up and took off his jacket and pointed toward the guild where two cloaked figures walked out. On had black hair the other had pink.

"They happened." Said Laxus. When Gray saw Natsu his vision went red. He was more than angry. He was next level pissed. And before Laxus even realized it Gray went speeding toward Natsu with his fist pulled back but before he even got to Natsu's face he was kicked in his by the black haired man that was standing next to him.

"Your fight is with me" said END as he put himself in between Natsu and Gray as Gray looked up with a slight trail of blood coming out his mouth.

"Remember no killing." Said Natsu as he started walking toward Laxus.

"Yeah, yea, yeah. But I'm going to enjoy breaking every bone in this stripper's body." Said END as he walked toward Gray.

"Fine I'll kick your ass first then I'll get Natsu." Said Gray as he stood up ready to face off in one of the toughest battles of his life.

Will the combined efforts of Gray and Laxus be able to take on an enemy that is too strong for each of them alone. Or will Natsu and END prove to much for the Fairy tail Mages.
