Fen: Hello everyone! Fen and Striberx here for another chapter of A Wizard's Fairy Tail! And we're going into the Phantom Lord Arc!

Striberx: Yup! We even got a few surprises in store for this arc.

Fen: That's right! As you Fairy Tail fans know, this particular arc is rather personal for Lucy, plus we can start "planting some seeds" with it too.

Striberx: Along with a few other surprises and ideas added in. And we'll try to make this arc into several parts, but we can't promise anything. It could change depending on how we write this.

Fen: Right. And between the two of us, we have consented that this Phantom Lord Arc should be finished in three chapters.

Striberx: But again, we can't promise anything. We'll try, but things could change and be two chaps at least and somehow if we do well, it could go to 3 or even 4 if we're careful enough and write enough for each part.

Fen: Plus, we need to give Natsu and the others some air time, so this could work out.

Striberx: For now, we'll just try our best.

Fen: So onto Part 1!

Disclaimer: Same thing.


The sun had set over the horizon and Team Natsu had decided to set up camp for the night, before returning to Magnolia the next day. After that entire fiasco with saving Rika from falling into despair, and Kurogasa and Koji tired from using that much magic, it was in agreement that the group would walk the rest of the way back. At their campsite, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Erza, Koji, and Cana were sleeping away in their tents, but not Kurogasa. He was outside, since it was his turn to stand guard. He had brought his portable ring workshop with him to keep him busy as he was working on refining the Flame Magic Stone that Merlin had given him.

He could feel the overwhelming energy of the stone that was emitting its glowing red color. Making this ring would bring him one step closer to achieving his full potential.

"Fool… do you think you can control more of my power so easily?" Dragon whispered, his image appearing in the magic stone.

"With how stubborn you are, it's all the more reason for me to try." Kurogasa countered.

"Hmph, you'll fail and I'll be born… your 'Hope'? Is meaningless…" Dragon growled before his image vanished.

"Hmph… stubborn lizard…" Kurogasa scoffed.

"I heard that!"

"You were supposed to…" Kurogasa retorted.

"Can't sleep either?" Lucy's voice rang out as he turned his head to see the blonde walking to him with a soft smile.

"Hey Lucy," Kurogasa smiled back. "Nah, figured I'd start working on making this ring now to keep me busy."

"You have enough time to make it. Rest for once." Lucy said, with a worried frown, "You work too much… And that worries me."

"A-Am I?" He laughed nervously.

"Yeah… You're only human, Kurogasa. You have limits as well." Lucy said.

"Ehehe… s-sorry…" Kurogasa looked down at his stone. "It's just…"

"Hm?"

"I've been… I was just worried about Rika." He confessed. "I know she has a lot on her plate right now. It's because of that, that I'm starting to worry of she would handle living here in constant danger, while back on Earth, there's little to none."

"I'm sure she's fine." Lucy smiled softly, "After all, she has Merlin with her."

"Yeah, I know. Still…" Kurogasa trailed off.

"You really care about her don't you." Lucy said.

"She's like a sister to me. How could I not?" Kurogasa replied. "Ever since Koji, Rika, and I were kids, we've been through everything together. Just the three of us, like peas in a pod."

"And what about your other friend, Cody?" Lucy asked.

"While he is a friend too, we only met him through middle school. He came from America, another country from Earth. He was a bit secluded, and shy. But thanks to Rika, he was able to open up a bit more to us." He said.

"She truly is like a sister, huh?" Lucy giggled.

"Yeah. And don't get me started when it comes to her and cast iron pans." Kurogasa chuckled.

"Hm? Why's that?" Lucy asked, confused.

"If you annoy her enough, you'll see."

"Well… if you say so." She shrugged.

"I know so." Kurogasa said, before yawning and stretching his arms out. "Ahhhhhhhhhh… I guess I can work on this tomorrow when we get back to the apartment. Besides, it's my turn to pay the rent."

"Hehe, then let's sleep, silly." She smiled, heading back to the others to sleep. Kurogasa soon followed after putting away his portable ring workshop and going back into the tent.

"Oi Natsu, your turn to guard." Kurogasa said, shaking him.

"Not enough… fire…" He snored out, waving his arms as from it, he accidentally punched the teen.

"Ite!" Kurogasa cried out falling on his back. "That hurt…" He groaned. "Of course it'd be impossible for him to wake up…"

"I tried to warn you." Gray yawned, "Don't worry, I got it."

"Thanks…"


(Cue Life is SHOW TIME by Shō Kiryūin)

(Maji ka?! Maji de?! Maji da! Show Time~!) The montage starts with Kurogasa as Kamen Rider Wizard with the entrance of Fairy Tail behind him. He scans the Dragorise Ring and raises his arm in the air before a big magic circle appears from above and WizarDragon comes out of the magic circle, flying into the sky. Kamen Rider Wizard then jumps onto WizarDragon's before the latter spew out flames, making the title: A Real Wizard's Fairy Tail appear before WizarDragon flew away, made a u-turn, and flew towards the screen before shifting to the next scene.

(Maru de tsuki to taiyou) The first scene shows Natsu in the lunch hall who got into a fight Gray over something trivial and they started fighting senselessly until Erza beat both of them to a pulp, annoyed by their antics.
(Kasanaru toki no shougeki!) The scene then changed to the bar with Lucy sweat dropping at their usual bout while Mirajane served her food, before the former looked up and noticed Kurogasa who was by himself near the window.
(Dare datte kiseki wo shinjitemitai) Kurogasa looked at his Style Rings in one hand before clenching them and looked out the window up in the sky as a solar eclipse happened and the scene suddenly shatters to pieces.

(Kitto hitsuyou~ fukaketsu no) The next scene shows Koji who was a bar drinking to his heart's content and chatting with the beautiful ladies before seeing the solar eclipse out the window in his drunken state. Then it quickly changed to Rika who was taking a break from her training with Rika, before looking up to see the same solar eclipse.
(ENAJII~ kokoro tame) Then it shifts towards Cody who sighed to himself, walking around the capital with nothing to do, wishing that he had his games right now, before he looked up to see the solar eclipse as well.
(Yume to yosou ii ima de uragitte kureru mono~) The scene then changes to a quick montage of the other characters show starting with Elfman, Lisanna, Wendy, Carla, Gajeel, Levy, Cana, Freed, Gildarts, Mystogan, Loke, Laxus, Makarov, and finally a silhouette of a Phantom before light shone on it to reveal Wiseman, before the camera shows Kurogasa, ready to transform.

(3! 2! 1! Show Time!) On "3" He flips his Hand Author to the left. At "2" Kurogasa slips on his Flame Style ring. At "1" he places the Flame Style ring in front of the Hand Author. And at "Show Time" a bright white light engulfs the entire screen before fading to the next screen.

(Magic time~! trick janai!) Kurogasa transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard and twirled around before showing his Flame Style ring.
(Mahou wo hero hanpa nee zo [Mahaluto Hallelujah!]) Garuda, Unicorn, Kraken, and Golem jump towards the screen before showing Wizard stuck his arm out to the side as the elements of fire, water, wind and earth spread out behind him.
(Kioku no ROOTS moguri-konde) The spell circles slide over Kurogasa, changing him into Water Style, Hurricane Style, and Land Style.
(Kibou wo tsukui dasou~) In Land Style, Kurogasa uses the Drill ring to drill down into the ground, disappearing.

(Show Time!) The guild members of Fairy suddenly pop up from the screen shouting "Show Time!" before popping down to reveal the next scene.

(Life is Show Time! tobikkiri no) The next scene shows Kurogasa riding on the Machine Winger with Lucy sitting behind him as WizarDragon flew beside them before Kurogasa revved up his Rider Machine and jumped on WizarDragon's back, letting the wheels of the machine become the wings.
(Unmei DORAIVU mucha shitemo [Mahaluto Hallelujah!]) WizarDragon then flies through a magic circle, appearing on the other side flying over the top of Magnolia.
(Kinou, kyou, ashita, mirai) Lucy smiled seeing the sight, but the joy was cut short when Natsu suddenly appeared next to them thanks to Happy who was carrying him as he flew, before he got in between them and Lucy got ticked off before punching off WizarDragon, sending straight to the ground with Happy diving in to save him.
(Subete no namida wo~!) As they passed the Fairy Tail guild, Beast, Kyoryu, and Mage watched WizarDragon fly by, smiling behind their helmets.

(Show Time!) The members of Fairy Tail pop out of nowhere again and shouts "Show Time!" before popping back down to the next scene.

(Houseki ni kaette yaru ze) Four versions of Wizard, each one in a different style, converge on one another, merging into one in a big flash of light.
(Maji ka?! Maji de?! Maji da! Show Time~!) Team Natsu appear and they smirked at the camera as Kurogasa smirks while putting on the Flame Style ring and transforms into Wizard one more time as he and Team Natsu freeze, the show logo appearing.


Chapter 11: The Phantom Lords

"Lord Wiseman, Phoenix is almost ready to depart." Medusa said.

"Good. We shall see how he does against them." Wiseman noted.

"I bet it's gonna be a lot of fireworks!" Gremlin said with glee.

"Still… Why did you allow this? Just for a lesson?"

"That… as well as seeing the chaos of what's to come with that guild." Wiseman said, his lips curling into a grin.

"Bah, you mean that guild using our name to make themselves powerful as us? I'll eat them for it." Ogre said.

"Not now. But with what's about to happen? We will see if this guild is nothing more than a step for us, or trouble for later on."

"Hmph…" Ogre scoffed.

"Then perhaps you should let one of my subordinates accompany Phoenix." An unknown voice said, as he stepped out from the shadows, wearing nothing but a black cloak to hide his identity. "If they ever sully your name, my subordinate shall personally see to it that they are eradicated swiftly."

"Hmm… that does sound like a good idea. Knowing Phoenix, he would mess things up because of his warrior pride." Wiseman nodded, "Very well, send one of them to help."

"Thank you. You won't regret this." The unknown figure bowed.


The next day had come by and Team Natsu had finally returned to Magnolia.

"Woohoo, we're back home!" Natsu cheered.

"Aye!" Happy cheered too.

"Yeah. Home, so that you two would get your punishment from old man Makarov." Kurogasa said, making the two of them flinch.

"Y-You remembered?" Natsu gulped.

"Oh yeah, don't think I've forgotten while trying to save Rika." Kurogasa crossed his arms. "And need I remind you about the punishment Erza-senpai and I already gave you? Because that was just a sample of what's to come."

"C-Can't we discuss this over some fire?" He sweated.

"No." Erza said flat-out. "You are getting your just desserts."

"Does it come with sprinkles and chocolate fudge?" Happy asked randomly.

"Nope. Pain and no fire as well as no fish." Koji added.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" They cried out as Erza suddenly had them by their collars, now struggling to free themselves. "WE DON'T WANT THAT DESSERT!"

"They reaped what they sowed." Gray smirked.

"Amen to that." Cana agreed.

"I think I'm gonna have a really good day today." Kurogasa grinned.

"Hehe, well you guys have fun. I'm gonna head home and do a few things before joining back up with the guild." Lucy smiled.

"Sure, you need anything while we're there?" Kurogasa asked.

"No, I got it." Lucy smiled sweetly as she headed off.

"Heh~?" Koji said, wiggling his eyebrows.

"N-Nani o?" Kurogasa stuttered.

"Oh nothing, aibou." Koji snickered.

"Right, nothing." He deadpanned.

"So, any luck with the gem?" Cana asked, curious to see if its complete.

"It's a work in progress." Kurogasa said. "I still gotta refine the edges though. I'd like to work more on it during my free time but when the Quests start piling up, I may not have that kind of time."

"Well, if you don't have time, I think Mirajane wouldn't mind helping." Cana offered.

"Really?" Kurogasa blinked in surprise. "I never strike her as the type to make jewelry."

"There's a lot you don't know about her." Cana added.

"Huh…" Kurogasa said, "Guess there's more to the guild than I really thought."

"Maybe you should get to know them more sometime." Erza added.

"I guess." He shrugged.

"Hey guys!" Lucy called out as they saw her run back, but she looked terrified.

"What's up Lucy?" Kurogasa asked.

"Look over there!" Lucy pointed to something in the distance. Everyone looked to see what she was pointing at, and sure enough it was the Fairy Tail guild, but it looked strange for some reason. Hurrying on their way back to the guild, they ran through the streets. And when they arrived at the guild, they were shocked to see… their guild building destroyed! It was totally wrecked as they saw huge black metal rods as if the building were a pin cushion!

"What the-!" Kurogasa gawked.

"What in Saturday Night Fever happened here?!" Kojo added.

"Someone… did that to the guild?" Cana gawked.

Though as for Erza, Natsu and Gray, they were silent, as she gently let go of Natsu and Happy as they stood up. Even from here, Koji and Kurogasa can feel the anger and rage around the trio. Whoever did this, unleashed something that shouldn't have been touched.

"W-Where are the others? Are they okay?!" Kurogasa started to panic.

"You guys go check… We'll find out who did this." Erza said to them.

"Right!" Kurogasa said as they ran straight for the guild. Upon arriving at the entrance, their eyes widened in horror at the state it was in. The main foyer was a complete mess as tables were splintered and the walls were cracked, being a miracle that the building was still intact. "No way…" Kurogasa uttered. "Hello?! Is anyone here?!" But there was no answer. Where were they?

"No sign…" Koji muttered.

"You don't think they're actually-"

"No way man. We've seen how they are. This wouldn't kill them." Koji reassured.

"So then where are they?" Kurogasa asked.

"Maybe either in the lower levels, or maybe somewhere safe." Koji shrugged, also unsure.

"Kurogasa!" A familiar voice called out. Kurogasa turned to the source of the voice and saw Mirajane standing at a doorway.

"Mirajane!" He called out as the boys ran over to her. "What happened here?!"

"It's a long story." Mirajane sighed sadly. "You and the others just got back, yes? Tell them to come here, I'll lead you all to the basement."


Kurogasa and Koji called Natsu and the others over to them and once they showed up, Mirajane led them downstairs and into the basement of the guild. While normally it was used as a storage room, it was now set up as a temporary meeting place for the other members. Thankfully, all of them were okay and not injured. As for Makarov, he was sitting on a crate with bottles of liquor and booze surrounding him.

"Hey Gramps, what the heck happened to our guild?!" Natsu demanded, stomping over to the small old man.

"I don't know. These metal rods came out of nowhere." Makarov frowned, "But believe me, I too am furious that someone did this to our home."

"When did this happen?" Erza asked.

"Probably after everyone left home for the night." Mirajane said.

"That would explain why nobody got hurt." Kurogasa nodded.

"Still, what kind of magic or even strength can do this?" Koji questioned.

"If I had to guess this would be the Phantom Lord's doing." Makarov said.

"Phantom… Lords?" Kurogasa asked.

"It's another Dark Guild. But they're one of the top Guilds of that type." Mirajane frowned. "But Master, are you sure? We have no proof that this was them."

"No. But given the history between our two Guilds, I wouldn't be surprised. Not to mention that the head of the guild is a fellow Wizard Saint."

"Wizard Saint?" Kurogasa parroted.

"Yes. One of ten wizards appointed by the Magic Council. They are some of the strongest mages in Fiore." Erza explained, "Master Makarov is also one as well."

"Have you already told the Magic Council about this?" Koji asked.

"Not yet. But I may have to, if he's involved." Makarov grimace.

"So what do we do in the meantime?" Lucy asked.

"I say it's payback time!" Natsu growled, punching his fist that's already on fire.

"Aye!" Happy agreed.

"No." Makarov shook his head. "We can't get ourselves involved with this. The last thing we need is a Guild War. While I understand your anger, children, just going off to fight for damaging our home would only bring chaos to other areas. And we're already chaotic enough as it is."

"Oh c'mon Gramps! They're right there!" Natsu snarled.

"Did you not listen to what he said?" Gray said. "Last thing we need is a Guild War on our hands."

"Besides, the guild can always be repaired. We have no reason to fight for something like this." Cana added.

"For now just sit tight and wait. I'll handle this." Makarov said before hopping off the crate and walking off.

"Senpai, what do we do?" Kurogasa asked Erza worriedly.

"We listen to Master. That's all we need to do." Erza said, spite the look in her eyes showing she too agreed with Natsu, but knows not to question Makarov's orders.

"…" Kurogasa remained silent at that before he remembered something. "Oh Mirajane, this might be a bad time but…" He then pulled out the red Magic Stone he was working on. "Think you can help with making my Wizard Rings?"

"Hm? You want me to help with the crafting of this?" She responded, a bit confused but also surprised.

"Yeah Cana recommended that you'd help out. I mean I'd like to do more on my free time but if the Quests keeps piling up…"

Mirajane smiled, "Sure! I'd love to help out." She agreed to the offer. "Besides, it allows me to test my jewelry skills. And don't worry, I'll do my best not to break them."

"Great. Here I'll show you how it's done."


And so Kurogasa gave Mirajane a crash course on making Wizard Rings and once she got the basics down, Kurogasa drew a picture on a piece of paper of what the Flame Dragon ring looked like. Once that was done, she went straight to work. As of now, Kurogasa and Lucy were back at their apartment. However… so were the rest of Team Natsu.

"Explain to me again on why you're all crashing here at my place?!" Lucy cried out.

"Cause some of the rubble also hit our dorms." Gray added.

"Besides, with the Phantom Lords possibly targeting the guild, they could also target us individually." Erza reasoned. "It makes sense for us to be in a group and stay in one place."

"Yeah, but why here?!" Lucy cried out.

"You're the only one we know of that has a place to live and not be threatened by attacks." Cana added.

"Come on! Think of it like a sleepover!" Koji smiled.

"I bet you have a different kind of sleepover in mind…" Kurogasa deadpanned.

"Only with my Sweet Thang~." He smiled, wrapping an arm around Cana's shoulder.

"Figures…" Kurogasa sighed. "Well whatever. But you guys are not sleeping in my room, you guys sleep in the living room."

"Okay, we'll just take Lucy's room!" Natsu snickered.

"Don't even think about it!" Lucy snapped.

"Us girls will stay in Lucy's room. The rest of you boys sleep in the living room as Kurogasa said." Erza replied.

"That's no fair! I want a bed!" Natsu whined.

"You got the long couch anyways." Gray said. "So that's gotta count as something."

"Think ahead, losers!" Happy snickered, already on the couch with a grin, "I'm sleeping here."

"Not on your life!" Natsu snapped before he pounced on the cat and started a comical fight with dust cloud and everything.

"Idiots…" Kurogasa sighed.


The next day…

"Lucy is writing a novel?!" Happy's voice called out with a snicker.

"Don't read i~t!" Lucy wailed.

"Ohh~! There's a chapter here about Kurogasa!" Natsu added with a loud snicker.

"Oh really?" Erza raised an eyebrow.

"NOOOOOOOOOO~!"

"Hold on, I wanna see this too." Koji added, "I even got Griffon ready to record this with his View Mirror!"

"Please no! It's not even done yet!" Lucy cried anime tears.

There seemed to be a lot of commotion as this made the teen wake up with a groan and confusion. Upon getting out and dressed, Kurogasa made his way to the door and find out what is even going on here. "What the heck is going on here?" As he opened the door, he sees Natsu and Happy holding one of the books Lucy owned as the blonde was trying to get it from them.

"You gotta check this out! Lucy is making a novel!" Natsu said with glee and a snicker.

"But this seems to be notes, ideas and more! There's seems to be some pages about you too!" Happy added.

"W-Wha…?" Kurogasa looked totally confused, still trying to wake up.

"Here!" Happy said, tossing him the book.

"N-No!" Lucy cried out, rushing towards him but slipped as she fell onto the floor, groaning softly from the sharp pain. "Ow…"

"Hmmmm…?" Kurogasa slowly raised his eyelids, reading a few pages of Lucy's notes. "Huh… not bad…"

"Huh…?" Lucy looked up.

"I said it's not bad." Kurogasa repeated. "Though I would recommend it not being a biography." He added.

"T-Those are my notes…" Lucy admitted but looked up at him again, "You… really like it?"

"Yeah. There were a couple of inaccuracies about me but overall good." He said, before putting the notes on top of the drawer.

Lucy smiled softly, as she stood back up, "Um… thank you Kurogasa…."

"Sure." Kurogasa said before… taking out a ring?

BIND! PLEASE!

All of a sudden chains were wrapped tightly around Natsu, Happy, and Koji, making them fall flat on their faces.

"Hey what gives, man?!" Koji cried out.

"For waking me up with all the ruckus and for being jerks to Lucy." Kurogasa yawned before going back to his room to get ready for the day.

"He sure is in a good mood." Erza noted, sipping some tea.

"No kidding." Cana added.


"That reminds me, I should visit Levy today. She said she had some books for me and you." Lucy said as they were all heading to the guild to help repair it.

"Hm? Me too?" Kurogasa blinked.

"Yeah! She said she wanted to help you out with more about Fiore and everything here. So she found many books to help that out, including a cheat sheet should you need help since you told me that you're still having some troubles with our written system." She nodded with a smile.

"Ehehe… right," Kurogasa said sheepishly.

Just then they saw Mirajane running towards them and she looked panicked for some reason.

"Hey Mirajane, what's up?" Natsu asked.

"I-It's… It's Levy!" She said with a fearful tone. "She and the rest of Shadow Gear were attacked!"

"What?!" Team Natsu said in shock.

"C'mon, I'll take you all there!" Mirajane said before she ran off.

"Hey wait up!" Koji shouted, before running after her with the rest of them following. The group rushed off with Mirajane, passing through the town as they soon come across a horrific sight. All the other guild members were there too, seeing this before them. Implanted onto three trees were Shadow Gear. Each one in severe damage as the same metal rods were around the area. All of them stripped of any valuables and were hung in a crucifixion like state, with a slab of paper on their chests with two simple words, 'Fairy Flies'. This was no longer just some random attack. This was a declaration of war.

"Levy!" Lucy cried out. Kurogasa wasted no time as he used a ring.

EXTEND! PLEASE!

Two magic circles appeared before he stuck his arms in them and they extended long enough for getting the three of them off the trees, Levy being the last one as he held her in his arms. "Oi Levy! You okay?! Wake up!"

"Ku… ro… gasa…" Levy weakly said, barely opening her eyes, "He… he attacked us… He didn't care about anything… else, other than hurting us…" She said, tears building up in her eyes as they streak down her face, "Why… why would they just do that…?"

"Who did this to you?" He asked.

"He… called himself… Gajeel… But… he… he wasn't alone…" She said, shaking in fear, "T-There was another one… like… you…" She said before passing out.

"Oi Levy! LEVY!" Kurogasa cried out, but it was no use. "No, don't tell me she's-" He got out. But Erza quickly came over to him and checked Levy's pulse.

"She's still alive but barely." Erza frowned.

"THAT DOES IT!" Natsu shouted, rage in his eyes as his fists were on fire. "I'M TIRED OF WAITING! I'M GONNA BURN THEM RIGHT NOW!"

"Natsu, stand down…" Makarov's voice called out, as he walked over to them. He placed his hand over Levy's forehead before he frowned. Just then, the atmosphere and mood around them all changed. "These heathens… How dare they harm my children…" He growled as light energy began to pour out of him. "If they want a war, they now got one."

"YEAAAAAAAAAAH!" The Fairy Tail guild members yelled in unison.


"Looks like they took the bait." Phoenix said as he watched from afar, standing on a branch of a tree.

"Indeed. Such an easy trick to use for these fools." A shrouded figure said behind the Phantom.

"Gehehehe, as long as I get to punch that dragon slayer fool, then I'm still game." Said another voice, as he bit off a chunk of iron and consumed it.

He was a tall and muscular young man with long, spiky black hair, which is usually kept slicked back, revealing his forehead. He has red eyes with slitted dark pupils, and has no visible eyebrows. Most of his exposed body is covered in sets of simple, round studs. The most visible studs are on his face, with three of them above each of his eyes, two on each side of his nose , and two on his chin, just below his mouth. His ears are adorned by two sets of five earrings each. He also sports four studs on each of his forearms, with his right one being covered in scars. His canine teeth are distinctively sharper than normal.

For his outfit, it consists of a shabby, black, sleeveless tunic with studded edges, a studded belt around his waist, loose, beige pants tucked inside studded black boots, and a pair of studded brown gloves paired with similarly studded wristbands. He also sports a distinctive wing-like ornament, seemingly made of feathers, jutting upwards, over his right shoulder, attached to his tunic by a large stud. This was Gajeel Redfox.

"Just make sure you do your job correctly, Gajeel." The figure said, "She doesn't die. Understand?"

"Yeah, I got her." Gajeel waved off.

"Finally, I get to burn that Mahoutsukai." Phoenix grinned to himself before the three of them took off to return to their guild.


"How are they Mirajane?" Lucy asked worriedly as Team Shadow Gear were now in beds, with bandages all over their bodies.

"Recovering… but still very injured." She said with a saddened frown. "Why would they do such a thing?"

"Who cares?! They attacked our friends meaning we take it to them!" Natsu said.

"Hold on Captain Eagerness. Two wrongs don't make it right." Gray retorted.

"Come on! They did this on purpose! Sides, Gramps finally agreed to fight these bastards!"

"But there's gotta be a reason why they attacked." Kurogasa said. "Not to mention… Levy said something that worried me before passing out. She said there was another one like me."

"Maybe someone from your world?" Cana noted.

"I doubt it. Koji, Cody, and now Rika have entered through the portal. Unless Merlin sensed someone else coming through, other than her, he would've known right now." Kurogasa shook his head. "Plus, Rika is still training to be Kamen Rider Mage."

"Then who else could it be?" Happy questioned.

"Merlin already established that his dead son was Kamen Rider Sorcerer," Koji said. "So then…"

"Wait a minute…" Kurogasa got out. "It could be another Kamen Rider Mage…"

"Huh?" Koji got out.

"Think about it man. Who else was Kamen Rider Mage other than Mayu?"

"Many… good point." Koji nodded.

"Who's Mayu?" Lucy asked.

"She was the original Kamen Rider Mage, who became such, because her twin sister was a Gate for Medusa." Kurogasa said.

"And… what is that?" Cana asked.

"A Gate is someone who had the potential to use the kind of magic I use. Put them in despair, and the Phantom from inside will kill them. Mayu was in despair when she found out that Misa, her twin sister, died from the creation of Medusa and that Misa's heart no longer remained, as she had hoped, and from the fact that Medusa killed her parents as well. However, she overcame her despair and suppressed her inner Phantom, holding on to her hope by remembering Misa saying that she alone decides her beginning and end, refusing to let the monster who destroyed her family destroy her life."

"Sounds like she got strong." Natsu noted.

"She did. And she eventually avenged her family." Kurogasa said. "There were two other ones who became Kamen Rider Mages. Yuzuru and Yamamoto."

"So then, it could be the cyan or emerald Mage's?" Koji questioned.

"It's possible. And Rika will most likely be the citrine Mage anyways."

"Hehe, so she'll be known as 'Kamen Rider Mage Citrine'?" Koji snickered at the lousy name.

*WAPISH!*

"ITE!"

"Baka, focus!" Kurogasa snapped. "In any case, those are the possible enemies we'd face. So we'll have to prepare for that." He then turned to the Celestial Spirit Key user. "Lucy, look after Levy and the others. The rest of us will go and deal with these Phantom Lord punks."

"Right. Just stay safe everyone… You too Kurogasa…" Lucy said with a worried tone.

"Don't worry. I'll come back. Promise." Kurogasa nodded. "Let's go everyone."

"Right." Team Natsu nodded.


"Heh, heh, heh… so they're coming." A man cackled as he sat on his throne on a balcony above the floor of his guild. He was a tall, slim man with long, straight, black hair reaching down to his shoulders and a thin mustache, that had a dark reddish tone. He has a long and sharp face, vaguely pointed ears, prominent eyelashes and dark-colored lips. His attire bore a resemblance to the fictional depictions of both a sorcerer and a jester, consisting of a flamboyant coat with a high collar that sported a jagged mantle and jagged lower edges, as well as intricately decorated borders and inners, featuring two prominent wings similar to a bat's, with a matching witch-like hat bearing Phantom Lord's symbol, complete with an extremely long, bent top hanging down on Jose's left.

He had on a plain shirt which sported his Wizard Saint's medallion around the neck, with two light ribbons falling down from it, loose striped culottes paired with long socks, and a pair of pointed shoes each bearing two furry balls, one on the front and one on the back of the foot. While donning this attire, his left hand's fingers were adorned by a pair of rings, with one of them sporting a spherical gem.

This was José Porla, the leader of the Phantom Lord guild and one of the Ten Wizard Saints.

"Indeed. And, I've already sent out Juvia to proceed with capturing the target." Said the shrouded figure. "I'll even lend some Ghouls to you, for some crowd control."

"Pah, and why should I rely on your golems?" José scoffed.

"For they have two Mahoutsukai within that guild, ones who can pose a problem."

"Hmph, I'll believe it when I see it."

*BOOOOOM!*

The booming sound got their attention as they looked down and saw that the doors to their guild had been flung open. Waiting at the entrance, was the entire Fairy Tail guild, and they were ready to fight.

"Which one of you punks hurt Levy and the others?!" Kurogasa demanded.

"Che, a lousy Fairy Fly thinks they can boss us around?" One member snickered, "And what if I said we all trashed that skank?" The Phantom Lord member smirked, as he was face to face with the ringed-mage.

"Then you all are gonna wish you never existed…" Kurogasa muttered coldly as he placed on his rings.

DRIVER ON! PLEASE!

"You jive-ass turkeys are in for the fight of your lives!" Koji added, putting on his rings.

DRIVER ON!

Both ring mages then got their rings setting up for their transformation.

SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN!

"Henshin!" Kurogasa shouted, flipping the visor of the Flame Style ring down and placed it in front of the Hand Author.

"Hennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn~shin!" Koji said before inserting the ring on the side.

FLAME! PLEASE! HII! HII! HII, HII, HII!

SET! OPEN! L-I-O-N: LION!

The magic circles appeared at their respective sides as the announcements were made before it past through them, donning them in their armors.

"Ho? You sure you wanna do that, Fly? You don't want to start a Guild War here. What if more members got hurt?"

"All the more reason to kick your asses! Everyone, charge!"

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" All the Fairy Tail Guild roared as they charged in towards the Phantom Lords.

"I'M ON FIRE TODAY!" Natsu cried out, launching a powerful fireball at the group of Dark Mages, sending them flying and burnt. "LET'S TURN UP THE HEAT!" He shouted before bumping his fists and his glyph appeared.

"Lousy Flies! Attack!" One Phantom Lord member shouted out, as they charged in to fight back.

"FIRE DRAGON… ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!" Natsu shouted, unleashing a huge flamethrower at a group of Dark Mages.

"Circle Sword!" Erza yelled as she was in her Heaven's Wheel Armor and shot out multiple swords that surrounded her at her enemies.

"Where's the bastard who hurt our friends?!" Natsu shouted out.

"We'll find them. We just gotta clear all these goons first!" Gray said as he slashed a few Dark Mages with his Ice Sword.

"Yeah, then we'll show them how a real man is!" Elfman said, smacking some more away.

"Oh? Want to bet?" A voice called out, as from the top of the guild, crashing down was a new face to them. But what made it different was when Natsu flinched as he sniffed.

"He's… He's one too?" Natsu got out, surprised.

"What are you talking about?" Elfman asked.

"This guy… he's got some Slayer Magic like mine,"

"Nani?" Kurogasa gasped.

"Heh, you're right, Fairy Fly." The person snickered, "Geh-hehehe, My name is Gajeel Redfox, and I'm the Iron Dragon Slayer!" He said, striking Elfman in the chest and sending him flying, tumbling through some other Fairy Tail members and knocking them out of the fight.

"Elfman!" Kurogasa shouted.

EXPLOSION! NOW!

A new magic circle that was colored purple appeared in front of Kurogasa and exploded right in front of him, sending him flying back. "GAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Kurogasa!" Koji gasped, as someone flew towards the disco-teen and kicked him back. Standing there was a dark-skinned teen with lilac eyes and silvery hair. He had on what looked to be a an Adept Mage outfit with black lines, dark blue edges and purple fabric. But what shook Koi the most was the fact he had on a WizarDriver similar to Merlin's but had a ring with a simple amber gem inside. He recognized it as the Common Ring, a ring that can cast many spells.

"Gh… who…" Kurogasa gritted as he struggled to stand up.

"You two fools are dealing with me…" the figure said, glaring at the two ringed mages.

"You're…" Koji got out.

"You're the Kamen Rider Mage, aren't you…" Kurogasa growled.

"Mage? No. I'm not a beginner." He said, gripping the panel as he switched it to the Henshin Side.

SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN!

He then took out his Change Ring which was a metal dark grey of the holder and a amethyst gem inside. He gripped his hand tightly before holding his hand up high, "Henshin…" He called out, placing the ringed hand on the center of the belt.

CHANGE! NOW!

The purple glyph soon appeared above him as it passed through, donning on armor. It was similar to The Mage's armor, but the beige coloring was replaced with a dark metal grey, the claw was shorter with the ring embedded within it as it only had three pronged claws on it. He even had one of the higher appointed Mage's mantles on his side and of course the Amethyst gem for his visor, but had two black 'eyes' within it as they glowed.

"I'm Amethyst, your Adept Wizard." He announced coldly.

"Amethyst?" Kurogasa got out. "So it's not Cyan or Emerald…"

"Are you seriously questioning this guy?" Koji asked.

"Yeah, I am."

"And I don't care." Amethyst responded, rushing at Koji as he slashed at his chest.

"GAH!"

"Koji!"

"You got worse things to worry about, Mahoutsukai!" A new voice said as a figure jumped down from the balcony. Kurogasa's blood ran cold when he saw the Phantom in front of him.

"No way… Phoenix?!" Kurogasa got out.

"Ho? You know of me? Good, this makes it more fun." The Phantom grinned, igniting his hand and launching some fire arrows at the teen. Kurogasa barely had time to dodge them as he rolled away.

"That's impossible! Haruto-" Kurogasa began, but then stopped himself. He had to remind himself that this wasn't the same Phoenix from his world. In his world, Haruto sent Phoenix to the sun where he is trapped in an endless cycle of death and rebirth, never getting out of it, thus forever trapping him in the sun. "No… you're not the same Phoenix from my world…" He shook his head.

"Huh? What are you even blabbing about?" Phoenix questioned, only to strike the teen in the face. "Stop being boring and fight me!"

"Che… at least your hot-headedness is only thing in common." Kurogasa said, before pulling out his WizarSwordGun. "Ikuzo!" He shouted, before charging in af Phoenix. The latter then took out his broadsword, tbe Catastrophe and followed suit, clashing with Kurogasa.


Meanwhile, back at Fairy Tail, Lucy was doing some grocery shopping after tending to Shadow Gear's wounds, changing their bandages. She thought it a good idea to cook something for them once they wake up. They need to get their strength back up after all. But at the same time, her mind occupied about her friends that were fighting against the Phantom Lords.

"I hope they're okay…" Lucy muttered as she walked. But in moments as she did, for some reason it started to rain. But this was heavy rain, she couldn't even see the corners of the buildings as it poured down so hard.

"Geez! What brought this here?"

"Drip, drip, drop… The water never stops…" A voice called out, causing the blonde to stop. Approaching her was a slender, teenage girl with azure blue hair, midnight blue eyes, snow skin complexion and a curvaceous figure. She had long hair, tightly curled at the base, wearing a sapphire blue coat, a cream colored fur trimmed navy blue shawl with a pure white teru teru bōzu attached to it, as well as a matching Russian Cossack hat.

"H-Hello?" Lucy called out to the lady.

"You are Lucy Heartfilia, correct?"

"!" Lucy gasped sharply. How did she know that name?!

"Oui, I do believe it is!" Another voice called out, but Lucy couldn't see or pinpoint where the voice came from. "There is no doubt zat zis is the Lucy Heartfilia,"

Lucy was frightened as she turned around but there was one other than the girl. "W-Who are you people? What do you want with me?"

"We are with Phantom Lord… And our job has to do with you…" Juvia said, snapping her fingers as the rain soon just stopped. As the raindrops floated around them they soon quickly rush and gather around Lucy, putting her in a ball of water. The Celestial Spirit Mage struggled to free herself from the bubble of water but it was no use as it was too strong. Soon, she began to fade and eventually pass out.

"Trés bién! Well done, Miss Juvia! I'm sure Master José will be pleased!" The voice said, as from the ground behind Lucy came out. He was a slim man of average height with a tiny, pointy, mustache and green hair pointing upwards. His right eye is always hidden by a monocle, attached to a slim chain; under it, the eye itself seems small and round, in contrast to his other, larger eye.

Sol is clad in a formal attire consisting of a brown suit with a ragged collar bearing six prominent protrusions jutting outwards (three on each side) over a white shirt paired with a black tie and simple shoes. He also dons what appears to be a short cape attached to both of his elbows, linking them. This was Sol, one of Phantom Lords Element 4, the top of the guild.

"Of course. Our mission was to capture her, was it not?" Juvia said.


Phoenix held Catastrophe in front of him, charging up to Kurogasa. "I'm gonna make you feel pain worth a thousand suns!" When they finally closed in, Phoenix drew first blood, managing to land the a hit on Kurogasa due to the longer range of his sword.

"Grrrr…!" Kurogasa gritted as he skid back before stopping eventually. How the heck did Haruto manage to survive fighting Phoenix in his world? Seeing Phoenix charge at him again shook Kurogasa out of his thoughts. Just in time, he dropped to his knees he dodged a slash from the Phantom. Switching the WizarSwordGun into Gun Mode, he leveled the WizarSwordGun at Phoenix's chest and fired off several bullets, knocking him back enough to give him a chance to pull back.

"Ha! You think that scares me?!" Phoenix mocked. "Other pathetic mages did better than you!"

"Hey, I'm just a beginner!" He said before switching rings and flipping the Hand Author twice. "You need to cool off!"

WATER! PLEASE! SUI! SUI! SUI! SUI!

Holding his right arm out, the blue magic circle appeared on his side as it glided over his body, changing his armor into my blue water-based style. "Now… Let's make this a real splash!"

LIQUID! PLEASE!

His whole body turned into water and he went to Phoenix enveloping his liquid body in hopes to douse him down. But that proved to be a mistake as he boosted up his flames and he was boiling hot. "AHHH!" He shouted in pain as he was forced back into his physical form. Rolling across the floor, he hopped back to his feet as Phoenix laughed at his pain.

"This is too easy! I don't know why those other Phantoms had so much trouble against you." Phoenix cackled, kicking the side of the Rider before slashing him into the side of the guild.

"Gah!"

"Aibou!" Koji cried out.

"Pay attention, fool!" Amethyst snapped as he scanned his ring.

LIGHTNING! NOW!

Purple electricity crackled in his hand before thrusting it towards Koji.

"Not this time!"

CHAMELEO! GO! CHA-CHA! CHA! CHA! CHAMELEO!

The moment Koji donned his Chameleo Mantle, he disappeared to avoid the lightning attack. "Hmph, pathetic." Amethyst scoffed, only to quickly turn around and slash, as sparks flew out and Koji reppared.

"Argh!" Koji growled in pain. "How did you-"

"You may appear invisible, but your presence still lingers." He said, slashing once more before he switched panels before placing on his ring and scanning it.

YES! KICK STRIKE! UNDERSTAND?

He then leaped into the air as he flew towards Koji with his Rider Kick, the glyph appearing as he soon struck the teen as the magical glyph erupted into an explosion, sending the disco-mage flying.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Koji!" Cana cried out before running over to him.

"FIRE DRAGON SWORD HORN!" Natsu shouted, lighting his entire body on fire and jettisoned towards Gajeel, headbutting him in the stomach, making him skid back. But it did not affect him!

"Hah! Weak!" Gajeel mocked. "Let me show you how a real attack works! IRON DRAGON SWORD!" He shouted as Gajeel transforms his arm into a large, jagged steel blade. The spikes along the blade's edge made its slashes more painful and dangerous as he jumped up and brought his sword arm down, but Natsu managed to dodge in time, but as he did, a lot of debris from the floor broke and flew off in different directions, showing how powerful that attack was.

"I must put an end to this now…" Makarov muttered as he rushed ahead. He knew by taking down their Guild Master, this battle will end. He soon jumped up to the balcony and was greeted by the leader of the Phantom Lords.

"Ah, Makarov. Good to see you finally arrived." José smirked.

"José…" Makarov frowned. "For what reason do you have for attack my children, my guild?"

"Simple, besides the job we were hired to do, I felt like it was high time to put you in your place and end your guild." José stated.

"You already know how this war will end!"

"Yes, I do. With you finally meeting yours, as well as our payment." José said, before he moved to the side, revealing not only a projection spell, but behind him was none other than a unconscious Lucy.

"Lucy!" Makarov gasped before snarling. "What is the meaning of this José?!" José grinned as thanks to that distraction, he didn't notice one of his mages behind the old man. He was an extremely tall and massive man with tanned skin. He doesn't seem to have visible hair, and possesses a rectangular, elongated face with prominent cheekbones, which has his rounded chin jut downwards, something that somehow negates the somewhat angular look his face would have otherwise. A thin, vertical dark line is present on the chin, crossing its whole length up to his lower lip, and his nose is flat.

He possessed wide dark eyes topped by thin dark eyebrows, which are usually hidden away by a simple, light blindfold, which he uses to restrain his power. His limbs are quite small and especially thin in comparison to the large mass of his body; nonetheless, his hands seem to be more well-proportioned. He had a massive upper body is covered by a large, loose green coat sporting white edges, which is closed around his neck, sporting a wide and high collar, but left open on the front below it, revealing a pale red, similarly loose and ruffled pale red shirt, with its high collar, split in three horizontal straps circling his neck, being held closed by an equal amount of buttons, one for each strap.

Appearing from below such shirt is a similar robe, seemingly yellow in color, which almost reaches down to hiss feet, revealing an extremely loose pair of pants with prominent hems and a pair of simple, dark shoes. The mages attire sports a pair of distinctive elements: circling his neck is a large, orange-colored necklace composed of several crosses linked together by small beads, which on the front, right below the mages neck, bears a small skull, with its eyes obscured by a blindfold not unlike that usually covering his own eyes; passing over his shoulders and hanging on the front is instead a wide stole, which is purple and white in color, being covered in intricate motifs. His outfit is completed by a top hat sitting on his head, matching his coat in color.

"Metsu…" The Mage said, surprising Makarov as his spell took place. Makarov was about to counter, but in moments he turned green, pale and very weak as he felt all of his magical power being stolen from him.

"Farewell, Makarov." José grinned as the mage that attacked Makarov then tossed him off of the second floor balcony, letting him plumet towards the first floors ground and near the other members of Fairy Tail.

"Master!" Erza cried out, rushing to his side as she felt how cold and weak he was. But that wasn't all as the old man weakly pointed up, up to the balcony as the members did so, seeing the image of Lucy there. She was taken by Phantom Lord.

"LUCY!" Kurogasa shouted.

"We… we have to retreat…" Erza grimaced.

"KISAMA! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?!" Kurogasa demanded, now managing to stand up.

"Simple! She was the target for them all along. And you fools fell for their trick." Phoenix smirked. This was just a plan all along. To draw them all away from Lucy.

"W-What?" Koji gritted as he was being supported by Cana.

"You mean this whole fight was a distraction?!" Elfman said.

"Bingo! And thanks to you fools, not only did you lose her, but soon your master too." Phoenix smirked, as he raised his hand as a large fireball appeared and began to grow.

"Natsu? Can't you do something?" Gray shouted.

"T-That's… too big even for me…" Natsu gulped.

"KISAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kurogasa yelled as he somehow managed to jump up high and aimed at José. "GIVE HER BAAAAAAACK!"

CHO II NE! KICK STRIKE! SAIKO~!

"Hmph, fool." Amethyst scoffed, as he once more scanned his ring.

YES! KICK STRIKE! UNDERSTAND?

He soon jumped up in front of Kurogasa, as he swiftly roundhoused kicked the teen back onto the ground. This mage was much stronger than them, and they could tell he wasn't even trying.

"Now to burn you!" Phoenix said as he threw the fireball at Kurogasa and a pillar of flames engulfed him.

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!"

Soon after the pillar of flames died down and Kurogasa, out of his armor and body smoking, fell once more to the ground.

"Fairy Tail! Retreat!" Erza shouted, spite the fact they needed to keep fighting. With their master in critical condition and more, they need to regroup. "Elfman take the Master! I got Kurogasa!"

"Right! Damn this sucks!" Elfman yelled as he grabbed Makarov.

Erza then ran over to Kurogasa's fallen form. "Senpai…! Haaaaaaaaa… Senpai…!" He wheezed in pain, trying to breathe. "Arrrrrrrgh!"

"Hang in there, Kurogasa, stay with me!" Erza shouted.

"Lucy…! Lucy…!" He wheezed.

"I know, we'll get her back, I promise," Erza said. "Just hang on,"

As fast as they could, the rest of Fairy Tail picked up their members and quickly got away before the rest of the Phantom Lord could capture them. In the end, they lost this fight. Lucy was kidnapped, Makarov and now Kurogasa were severely injured from the attacks. They needed to regroup and recover, otherwise they would die as well. They knew one thing though, this wasn't over.


Fen: Well… that's not good…

Striberx: Yup. Lucy captured, Makarov on death's door, and Fairy Tail having to fall back. Even more so with the reveal of one of our new antagonists, Kamen Rider Amethyst.

Fen: And yes, this one is an OC Rider that we made ourselves, so probably expect more jewel-named Riders in the near future.

Striberx: How many though? Unsure for now. As well as unsure on which ones will be good or evil. But expect more of Amethyst in the future for now.

Fen: I'd say that Rika would probably be the only good Kamen Rider Mage.

Striberx: True, but things can also change in the future as well.

Fen: If anything, we'll probably have more OC Riders to possibly take over Cyan and Emerald since that's canon in the Wizard series.

Striberx: Right, but for now you'll all have to wait and see what the next chapter will hold. :3

Fen: Here's to hoping.
